Global bifurcations and multi-pulse orbits of a parametric excited system with autoparametric resonance

We consider an autoparametric system which consists of an oscillator coupled with a parametrically excited subsystem. The oscillator and the subsystem are in one-to-one internal resonance. The excited subsystem is in principal parametric resonance. The system contains the most general type of quadratic and cubic non-linearities. The method of second-order averaging is used to yield a set of autonomous equations of the second-order approximations to the parametric excited system with autoparametric resonance. The Shilnikov-type multi-pulse orbits and chaotic dynamics of the averaged equations are studied in detail. The global bifurcation analysis indicates that there exist the heteroclinic bifurcations and the Shilnikov-type multi-pulse homoclinic orbits in the averaged equations. The results obtained above mean the existence of amplitude-modulated chaos in the Smale horseshoe sense in the parametric excited system with autoparametric resonance. The Shilnikov-type multi-pulse chaotic motions of the parametric excited system with autoparametric resonance are also found by using numerical simulation.     

CHAOTIC MOTIONS AND LIMIT CYCLE FLUTTER OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL WING IN SUPERSONIC FLOW

Based on the piston theory of supersonic flow and the energy method, the flutter motion equations of a two-dimensional wing with cubic stiffness in the pitching direction are established. The aeroelastic system contains both structural and aerodynamic nonlinearities. Hopf bifurcation theory is used to analyze the flutter speed of the system. The effects of system parameters on the flutter speed are studied. The 4th order Runge-Kutta method is used to calculate the stable limit cycle responses and chaotic motions of the aeroelastic system. Results show that the number and the stability of equilibrium points of the system vary with the increase of flow speed. Besides the simple limit cycle response of period 1, there are also period-doubling responses and chaotic motions in the flutter system. The route leading to chaos in the aeroelastic model used here is the period-doubling bifurcation. The chaotic motions in the system occur only when the flow speed is higher than the linear divergent speed and the initial condition is very small. Moreover, the flow speed regions in which the system behaves chaos axe very narrow.     

Chaos control and synchronization of the Φ<Superscript>6</Superscript>-Van der Pol system driven by external and parametric excitations

The dynamical behavior of the Φ⁶-Van der Pol system subjected to both external and parametric excitation is investigated. The effect of parametric excitation amplitude on the routes to chaos is studied by numerical analysis. It is found that the probability of chaos happening increases along with the parametric excitation amplitude increases while the external excitation amplitude fixed. Based on the invariance principle of differential equations, the system is lead to desirable periodic orbit or chaotic state (synchronization) with different control techniques. Numerical simulations are provided to validate the proposed method.     

On the aeroelastic stability and bifurcation structure of subsonic nonlinear thin panels subjected to external excitation

Dynamic behavior of panels exposed to subsonic flow subjected to external excitation is investigated in this paper. The von Karman’s large deflection equations of motion for a flexible panel and Kelvin’s model of structural damping is considered to derive the governing equation. The panel under study is two-dimensional and simply supported. A Galerkin-type solution is introduced to derive the unsteady aerodynamic pressure from the linearized potential equation of uniform incompressible flow. The governing partial differential equation is transformed to a series of ordinary differential equations by using Galerkin method. The aeroelastic stability of the linear panel system is presented in a qualitative analysis and numerical study. The fourth-order Runge-Kutta numerical algorithm is used to conduct the numerical simulations to investigate the bifurcation structure of the nonlinear panel system and the distributions of chaotic regions are shown in the different parameter spaces. The results shows that the panel loses its stability by divergence not flutter in subsonic flow; the number of the fixed points and their stabilities change after the dynamic pressure exceeds the critical value; the chaotic regions and periodic regions appear alternately in parameter spaces; the single period motion trajectories change rhythmically in different periodic regions; the route from periodic motion to chaos is via doubling-period bifurcation.

Nonlinear dynamics of a fluid-conveying curved pipe subjected to motion-limiting constraints and a harmonic excitation

This paper investigates the dynamical behaviour of a fluid-conveying curved pipe subjected to motion-limiting constraints and a harmonic excitation. Based on a Newtonian method, the in-plane equation of motion of this curved pipe is derived. Then a set of discrete equations in spatial space obtained by the differential quadrature method (DQM) is solved numerically. Emphasis is placed on the possible dynamical behaviour of the curved pipe conveying fluid. The numerical results show that the pipe without motion-limiting constraints but with a harmonic force behaves as an ordinary linear system. If, however, the pipe is subjected to cubic motion-limiting constraints, nonlinear dynamic phenomena of the system will occur. Calculations of bifurcation diagrams, phase-plane portraits, time responses, power spectrum diagrams, and Poincaré maps of the oscillations clearly demonstrate the existence of chaotic and quasiperiodic motions. Moreover, it is shown that the route to chaos is via a sequence of period-doubling bifurcations.

Global bifurcation and chaos analysis in nonlinear vibration of spur gear systems

The global homoclinic bifurcation and transition to chaotic behavior of a nonlinear gear system are studied by means of Melnikov analytical analysis. It is also an effective approach to analyze homoclinic bifurcation and detect chaotic behavior. A generalized nonlinear time varying (NLTV) dynamic model of a spur gear pair is formulated, where the backlash, time varying stiffness, external excitation, and static transmission error are included. From Melnikov method, the threshold values of the control parameter for the occurrence of homoclinic bifurcation and onset of chaos are predicted. Additionally, the numerical bifurcation analysis and numerical simulation of the system including bifurcation diagrams, phase plane portraits, time histories, power spectras, and Poincare sections are used to confirm the analytical predictions and show the transition to chaos.     

Bifurcations and chaos in parametrically excited single-degree-of-freedom systems

The behavior of single-degree-of-freedom systems possessing quadratic and cubic nonlinearities subject to parametric excitation is investigated. Both fundamental and principal parametric resonances are considered. A global bifurcation diagram in the excitation amplitude and excitation frequency domain is presented showing different possible stable steady-state solutions (attractors). Fractal basin maps for fundamental and principal parametric resonances when three attractors coexist are presented in color. An enlargement of one region of the map for principal parametric resonance reveals a Cantor-like set of fractal boundaries. For some cases, both periodic and chaotic attractors coexist.     

Strong chaotification and robust chaos in the Duffing oscillator induced by two-frequency excitation

In this work, we demonstrate numerically that two-frequency excitation is an effective method to produce chaotification over very large regions of the parameter space for the Duffing oscillator with single- and double-well potentials. It is also shown that chaos is robust in the last case. Robust chaos is characterized by the existence of a single chaotic attractor which is not altered by changes in the system parameters. It is generally required for practical applications of chaos to prevent the effects of fabrication tolerances, external influences, and aging that can destroy chaos. After showing that very large and continuous regions in the parameter space develop a chaotic dynamics under two-frequency excitation for the double-well Duffing oscillator, we demonstrate that chaos is robust over these regions. The proof is based upon the observation of the monotonic changes in the statistical properties of the chaotic attractor when the system parameters are varied and by its uniqueness, demonstrated by changing the initial conditions. The effects of a second frequency in the single-well Duffing oscillator is also investigated. While a quite significant chaotification is observed, chaos is generally not robust in this case.

Periodic and Chaotic Motions of a Rotor-Active Magnetic Bearing with Quadratic and Cubic Terms and Time-Varying Stiffness

In this paper, we use the asymptotic perturbation method to investigate nonlinear oscillations and chaotic dynamics in a rotor-active magnetic bearings (AMB) system with 8-pole legs and the time-varying stiffness. The stiffness in the AMB is considered as the time varying in a periodic form. Because of considering the weight of the rotor, the formulation on the electromagnetic force resultants includes the quadratic and cubic nonlinearities. The resulting dimensionless equations of motion for the rotor-AMB system with the time-varying stiffness in the horizontal and vertical directions are a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities and parametric excitation. The asymptotic perturbation method is used to obtain the averaged equations in the case of primary parametric resonance and 1/2 subharmonic resonance. It is found that there exist period-3, period-4, period-6, period-7, period-8, quasiperiodic and chaotic modulated amplitude oscillations in the rotor-AMB system with the time-varying stiffness. It is seen from the numerical results that there are the phenomena of the multiple solutions and the soft-spring type and the hardening-spring type in nonlinear frequency-response curves for the rotor-AMB system. The parametric excitation, or the time-varying stiffness produced by the PD controller is considered to be a controlling force which can control the chaotic response in the rotor-AMB system to a period n motion.     

Chaos in the three-well potential system

A new approach based on analysis of the wandering trajectories is applied to investigate an appearance of chaotic vibrations in many-well potential systems. The chaotic behavior regions were found in the both amplitude–frequency of excitation and amplitude–damping coefficient plane. The phase plane of initial conditions has been investigated taking into account different values of an external periodic excitation. It demonstrated remarkable agreement with investigations based on homoclinic and heteroclinic bifurcation criteria for chaos, computations of Lyapunov exponents and fractal basin boundaries. The presented technique is very effective, convenient to use, and can be applied to the investigation of a wide class of problems.     

Simultaneous combination and 1:3:5 internal resonances in a parametrically excited beam-mass system

The nonlinear dynamics of a base-excited slender beam carrying a lumped mass subjected to simultaneous combination parametric resonance of sum and difference type along with 1:3:5 internal resonances is investigated. Method of normal form is applied to the governing nonlinear temporal differential equation of motion to obtain a set of first-order differential equations which are used to obtain the steady-state, periodic, quasi-periodic and chaotic responses for different control parameters viz., amplitude and frequency of external excitation and damping. Frequency response, phase portraits, time spectra and bifurcation diagram are plotted to visualize the system behaviour with variation in the control parameters. Here, two distinct zones of trivial instability, blue sky catastrophe phenomena, jump down phenomena, simultaneous occurrence of periodic and chaotic orbits, period doubling of the mixed-mode periodic orbits leading to chaos, attractor merging crisis, boundary crisis, type II and on-off intermittencies are observed. Bifurcation diagram is plotted to facilitate the designer to choose a safe operating zone.
