Analysis of time-periodic nonlinear dynamical systems undergoing bifurcations

In this study a new procedure for analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems with periodically varying parameters under critical conditions is presented through an application of the Liapunov-Floquet (L-F) transformation. The L-F transformation is obtained by computing the state transition matrix associated with the linear part of the problem. The elements of the state transition matrix are expressed in terms of Chebyshev polynomials in timet which is suitable for algebraic manipulations. Application of Floquet theory and the eigen-analysis of the state transition matrix at the end of one principal period provides the L-F transformation matrix in terms of the Chebyshev polynomials. Since this is a periodic matrix, the L-F transformation matrix has a Fourier representation. It is well known that such a transformation converts a linear periodic system into a linear time-invariant one. When applied to quasi-linear equations with periodic coefficients, a dynamically similar system is obtained whose linear part is time-invariant and the nonlinear part consists of coefficients which are periodic. Due to this property of the L-F transformation, a periodic orbit in original coordinates will have a fixed point representation in the transformed coordinates. In this study, the bifurcation analysis of the transformed equations, obtained after the application of the L-F transformation, is conducted by employingtime-dependent center manifold reduction andtime-dependent normal form theory. The above procedures are analogous to existing methods that are employed in the study of bifurcations of autonomous systems. For the two physical examples considered, the three generic codimension one bifurcations namely, Hopf, flip and fold bifurcations are analyzed. In the first example, the primary bifurcations of a parametrically excited single degree of freedom pendulum is studied. As a second example, a double inverted pendulum subjected to a periodic loading which undergoes Hopf or flip bifurcation is analyzed. The methodology is semi-analytic in nature and provides quantitative measure of stability when compared to point mappings method. Furthermore, the technique is applicable also to those systems where the periodic term of the linear part does not contain a small parameter which is certainly not the case with perturbation or averaging methods. The conclusions of the study are substantiated by numerical simulations. It is believed that analysis of this nature has been reported for the first time for this class of systems.     

The activation method for discretized conservative nonlinear stability problems with multiple parameter and state variables

For nonlinear stability problems of discretized conservative systems with multiple parameter variables and multiple state variables,the activation method is put forward,by which activated potential functions and activated equilibrium equations are derived.The activation method is the improvement and enhancement of Liapunov-Schmidt method in elastic stability theory.It is more generalized and more normalized than conventional perturbation methods.The activated potential functions may be transformed into normalized catastrophe potential functions.The activated equilibrium equations may be treated as bifurcation equations.The researches in this paper will motivate the combination of elastic stability theory with catastrophe theory and bifurcation theory.     

Impact phenomena of rotor-casing dynamical systems

Rubbing and impacting between a rotor and adjacent motion-constraining structures is a serious malfunction in rotating machinery. A shaver rotor-casing system with clearance and mass imbalance is modelled with two second-order ordinary differential equations and inelastic impact conditions. The dynamics is investigated analytically, as well as by numerical simulation. A Lyapunov exponent technique is developed to characterize the topologically different behavior as the parameters are varied. The dry friction coefficient and the eccentricity of the rotor imbalance were chosen to be the two variable parameters, the effect of which on the system dynamics is illustrated through phase plots, bifurcation diagrams, as well as Poincaré maps. The results demonstrate the existence of both rubbing and impacting behavior. Depending on values of the parameters, rubbing motion in both the clockwise and counter-clockwise directions may occur. Within the impact regime, the impact behavior could be periodic, quasi-periodic or chaotic, as confirmed by the calculation of Lyapunov exponents.

APPROACH FOR LAYOUT OPTIMIZATION OF TRUSS STRUCTURES WITH DISCRETE VARIABLES UNDER DYNAMIC STRESS, DISPLACEMENT AND STABILITY CONSTRAINTS

A mathematical model was developed for layout optimization of truss structures with discrete variables subjected to dynamic stress, dynamic displacement and dynamic stability constraints. By using the quasi-static method, the mathematical model of structure optimization under dynamic stress, dynamic displacement and dynamic stability constraints were transformed into one subjected to static stress, displacement and stability constraints. The optimization procedures include two levels, i.e., the topology optimization and the shape optimization. In each level, the comprehensive algorithm was used and the relative difference quotients of two kinds of variables were used to search the optimum solution. A comparison between the optimum results of model with stability constraints and the optimum results of model without stability constraint was given. And that shows the stability constraints have a great effect on the optimum solutions.     

Codimension two bifurcations of symmetric cycles in Hamiltonian systems with an antisymplectic involution

Consider a Hamiltonian system with parameters, such that there exists an involution which reverses this Hamiltonian system. Let us assume the linear part L at =0 has only nonzero purely imaginary eigen-values ±ib₁,..., ±ib_n. In this paper, we classify the typical bifurcations of families of symmetric periodic solutions of this system at resonance if b_i/b_j=±1, ±2, or ±1/2 and the number of parameters needed is one or two. First, one puts the Hamiltonians into a convenient normal form. Next, applying a Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and making further manipulations, one can geta reduced bifurcation equation which can possess certain symmetry. Finally, by using elementary methods from singularity theory or isotopy methods, one obtains the desired bifurcation diagrams.     

Global dynamical behavior of a three-body system with flexible connection in the gravitational field

Summary In this paper, the global behavior of relative equilibrium states of a three-body satellite with flexible connection under the action of the gravitational torque is studied. With geometric method, the conditions of existence of nontrivial solutions to the relative equilibrium equations are determined. By using reduction method and singularity theory, the conditions of occurrence of bifurcation from trivial solutions are derived, which agree with the existence conditions of nontrivial solutions, and the bifurcation is proved to be pitchfork-bifurcation. The Liapunov stability of each equilibrium state is considered, and a stability diagram in terms of system parameters is presented. Received 10 March 1998; accepted for publication 21 July 1998

Regularization and stability of the constraints in the dynamics of multibody systems

In the analysis of multibody dynamics, we are often required to deal with singularity problems where the constraint Jacobian matrix may become less than full rank at some instantancous configurations. This creates numerical instability which will affect the performance of the mechanical system. A modification procedure of the constraints when they vanish or become linearly dependent is proposed to regularize the dynamics of the system. A distinction between the asymptotic stability due to the representation of the constraints (at the velocity and acceleration level), and the one due to the singularity is discussed in full in this paper. It is shown that Baumgarte technique could be extended to accommodate the representation of the constraints in the neighborhood of singularity. A two link planar manipulator undergoing large motion and passing through a singular configuration is used to illustrate the proposed stability technique.     

Elastoplastic state of flexible cylindrical shells with two circular holes

The elastoplastic state of thin cylindrical shells with two equal circular holes is analyzed with allowance made for finite deflections. The shells are made of an isotropic homogeneous material. The load is internal pressure of given intensity. The distribution of stresses along the hole boundary and in the stress concentration zone (when holes are closely spaced) is analyzed by solving doubly nonlinear boundary-value problems. The results obtained are compared with the solutions that allow either for physical nonlinearity (plastic strains) or geometrical nonlinearity (finite deflections) and with the numerical solution of the linearly elastic problem. The stresses near the holes are analyzed for different distances between the holes and nonlinear factors.Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 40, No. 10, pp. 107–112, October 2004.     

The development of the dynamics of rigid body with state variables

The dynamics of a rigid body can be investigated by using state variables instead of Euler's equations. Since the differential equations have a canonical form of the first order, the method mentioned has distinct advantages not only for qualitative analysis but also for numerical calculation. In the present paper the development of this method in China is summarized.

Effects of time delayed velocity feedbacks on self-sustained oscillator with excitation

Both the primary resonant solutions and their bifurcations due to time delayed velocity feedbacks used in a self-sustained oscillator with excitation were further investigated. A model was proposed by adding linear and nonlinear time delayed feedbacks to a representative non- autonomous system ( with external forcing ). The stability condition of the linearized system at trivial equilibrium was discussed, which leads to a critical stability boundary where periodic solutions may occur. The main attention was focused on bifurcations from the primary resonant solutions. It is found that the stable primary resonant solution may appear periodically in the time delay. Meanwhile, the unstable regions for such solutions are also obtained, predicting the occurrence of quasi-periodic motions.
