Load carrying capacity of systems within a global safety perspective. Part II. Attractor/basin integrity under dynamic excitations

The effects of the dynamic excitation on the load carrying capacity of mechanical systems are investigated with reference to the archetypal model addressed in Part I, which permits to highlight the main ideas without spurious mechanical complexities. First, the effects of the excitation on periodic solutions are analyzed, focusing on bifurcations entailing their disappearance and playing the role of Koiter critical thresholds. Then, attractor robustness (i.e., large magnitude of the safe basin) is shown to be necessary but not sufficient to have global safety under dynamic excitation. In fact, the excitation strongly modifies the topology of the safe basins, and a dynamical integrity perspective accounting for the magnitude of the solely compact part of the safe basin must be considered. By means of extensive numerical simulations, robustness/erosion profiles of dynamic solutions/basins for varying axial load and dynamic amplitude are built, respectively. These curves permit to appreciate the practical reduction of system load carrying capacity and, upon choosing the value of residual integrity admissible for engineering design, the Thompson practical stability. Dwelling on the effects of the interaction between axial load and lateral dynamic excitation, this paper supports and, indeed, extends the conclusions of the companion one, highlighting the fundamental role played by global dynamics as regards a reliable estimation of the actual load carrying capacity of mechanical systems.

A new procedure for exploring chaotic attractors in nonlinear dynamical systems under random excitations

Due to uncertain push-pull action across boundaries between different attractive domains by random excitations,attractors of a dynamical system will drift in the phase space,which readily leads to colliding and mixing with each other,so it is very difficult to identify irregular signals evolving from arbitrary initial states.Here,periodic attractors from the simple cell mapping method are further iterated by a specific Poincare’ map in order to observe more elaborate structures and drifts as well as possible dynamical bifurcations.The panorama of a chaotic attractor can also be displayed to a great extent by this newly developed procedure.From the positions and the variations of attractors in the phase space,the action mechanism of bounded noise excitation is studied in detail.Several numerical examples are employed to illustrate the present procedure.It is seen that the dynamical identification and the bifurcation analysis can be effectively performed by this procedure.     

Global dynamics in the simplest models of three-dimensional water-wave patterns

We explore the idea that periodic or chaotic finite motions corresponding to attractors in the simplest models of resonant wave interactions might shed light on the problem of pattern formation. First we identify those dynamical regimes of interest which imply certain specific relations between physically observable variables, e.g. between amplitudes and phases of Fourier harmonics comprising the pattern. To be of relevance to reality, the regimes must be robust.The issue of structural stability of low-dimensional dynamical models is central to our work. We show that the classical model of three-wave resonant interactions in a non-conservative medium is structurally unstable with respect to small cubic interactions. The structural instability is found to be due to the presence of certain extremely sensitive points in the unperturbed system attractors. The model describing the horse-shoe pattern formation due to non-conservative quintet interactions [11] is also analyzed and a rich family of attractors is mapped. The absence of such sensitive points in the found attractors thus indicates the robustness of the regimes of interest. Applicability of these models to the problem of 3-D water wave patterns is discussed. Our general conclusion is that extreme caution is necessary in applying the dynamical system approach, based upon low-dimensional models, to the problem of water wave pattern formation.

Partially unstable attractors in networks of forced integrate-and-fire oscillators

The asymptotic attractors of a nonlinear dynamical system play a key role in the long-term physically observable behaviors of the system. The study of attractors and the search for distinct types of attractor have been a central task in nonlinear dynamics. In smooth dynamical systems, an attractor is often enclosed completely in its basin of attraction with a finite distance from the basin boundary. Recent works have uncovered that, in neuronal networks, unstable attractors with a remote basin can arise, where almost every point on the attractor is locally transversely repelling. Herewith we report our discovery of a class of attractors: partially unstable attractors, in pulse-coupled integrate-and-fire networks subject to a periodic forcing. The defining feature of such an attractor is that it can simultaneously possess locally stable and unstable sets, both of positive measure. Exploiting the structure of the key dynamical events in the network, we develop a symbolic analysis that can fully explain the emergence of the partially unstable attractors. To our knowledge, such exotic attractors have not been reported previously, and we expect them to arise commonly in biological networks whose dynamics are governed by pulse (or spike) generation.

A New Trajectory Reversing Method for Estimating Stability Regions of Autonomous Nonlinear Systems

A new method is presented for estimating regions of asymptoticstability for autonomous nonlinear dynamical systems. The underlyinganalysis uses a combination of Lyapunov theory, simulation and sometopological properties of the stability boundary. The advantages of themethod are the accuracy of estimation of the true stability boundary,its numerical robustness and its applicability to wide classes ofdynamical systems. The main limitation is that a global Lyapunovfunction for the system must be available.     

Nonlinear dynamical stability analysis of the circular three-dimensional frame

The three-dimensional frame is simplified into flat plate by the method of quasiplate. The nonlinear relationships between the surface strain and the midst plane displacement are established. According to the thin plate nonlinear dynamical theory, the nonlinear dynamical equations of three-dimensional frame in the orthogonal coordinates system are obtained. Then the equations are translated into the axial symmetry nonlinear dynamical equations in the polar coordinates system. Some dimensionless quantities different from the plate of uniform thickness are introduced under the boundary conditions of fixed edges, then these fundamental equations are simplified with these dimensionless quantities. A cubic nonlinear vibration equation is obtained with the method of Galerkin. The stability and bifurcation of the circular three-dimensional frame are studied under the condition of without outer motivation. The contingent chaotic vibration of the three-dimensional frame is studied with the method of Melnikov. Some phase figures of contingent chaotic vibration are plotted with digital artificial method.     

Dynamical properties and chaos synchronization of a new chaotic complex nonlinear system

In this paper, we introduce a new chaotic complex nonlinear system and study its dynamical properties including invariance, dissipativity, equilibria and their stability, Lyapunov exponents, chaotic behavior, chaotic attractors, as well as necessary conditions for this system to generate chaos. Our system displays 2 and 4-scroll chaotic attractors for certain values of its parameters. Chaos synchronization of these attractors is studied via active control and explicit expressions are derived for the control functions which are used to achieve chaos synchronization. These expressions are tested numerically and excellent agreement is found. A Lyapunov function is derived to prove that the error system is asymptotically stable.

Unified Analysis of Complex Nonlinear Motions via Densities

A unified approach of using densities to analyze bothdeterministic and stochastic complex responses including chaotic andrandom motions of nonlinear engineering systems is illustrated in thisstudy. Motivations to examine deterministic nonlinear dynamical systemsvia densities are first discussed. Essential mathematical background andtechniques pertinent to the analyses of both deterministic chaos andrandom chaotic processes are briefly summarized. Densities of nonlinearresponses are computed by numerically solving the Fokker–Planckequation to examine stochastic properties of random chaotic responses.It is demonstrated that, by introducing random perturbations in anotherwise deterministic excitation, the existence of attractors can beefficiently and clearly depicted by the evolution of a uniqueprobability density over the physical phase space. Two distinctasymptotic behaviors of densities: (i) invariance and (ii) sweeping, ofcomplex motions and their relationship to response stabilities predictedby the Foguel Alternative Theorem are numerically demonstrated.Applications using the probability densities to compute reliabilityindices of an engineering system are demonstrated.

Analysis of a new three-dimensional system with multiple chaotic attractors

In this paper, a new three-dimensional autonomous system with complex dynamical behaviors is reported. This new system has three quadratic nonlinear terms and one constant term. One remarkable feature of the system is that it can generate multiple chaotic and multiple periodic attractors in a wide range of system parameters. The presence of coexisting chaotic and periodic attractors in the system is investigated. Moreover, it is easily found that the new system also can generate four-scroll chaotic attractor. Some basic dynamical behaviors of the system are investigated through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation.     

N-scroll chaotic attractors from saturated function series employing CCII+s

The generation of n-scroll chaotic attractors by using saturated nonlinear function series (SNFS) realized with positive-type second generation current conveyors (CCII+s), is introduced. The nonlinear dynamical system is expressed by a third-order differential equation and to carry out numerical simulations, SNFS are ideally modeled by using staircase functions. Therefore, numerical simulations are introduced to approximate the swings, widths, breakpoints and equilibrium points of the n-scroll attractors by considering, as input variables: the dynamic range associated to active devices, gain of the nonlinear system and the number of scrolls. Therefore, its dynamical behavior is investigated in the state space. Besides, the CCII± is a versatile analog building block and it has been demonstrated to be very useful in several linear and nonlinear applications, since CCII-based implementations offer better performances that Opamps-based implementations in terms of accuracy and bandwidth. Therefore, the nonlinear system is synthesized with CCII+s to generate 3- and 4-scrolls. HSPICE simulations and experimental results are shown to verify the agreement on the behavior of the proposed circuit and the numerical simulations.     

Stability and Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation for a nonlinear symmetric bladed rotor

The modal interaction which leads to Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation is studied for a nonlinear rotating bladed-disk system. The model, which is discussed in the paper, is a Jeffcott rotor carrying a number of planar blades which bend in the plane of the motion. The rigid rotating disk is supported on nonlinear bearings. It is supposed that this dynamical system is a Hamiltonian system which is perturbed by small dissipative and nonlinear forces. Krein’s theorem is employed for obtaining a stability criterion. The nonlinear eigenvalue equations on the stability boundary are turned into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by differentiating them over the rotating speed. By solving these ODEs, the eigenmodes and the eigenvalues on the stability boundary are obtained. The bifurcation analysis is performed by applying multiple scales method around the boundary. The rotor nonlinear behavior and damping effects are studied for different conditions on the rotating speed and nonlinearity type by the bifurcation equation. It is shown that the damping distribution between the blades and bearings may shift the unstable mode. Depending on the nonlinearity type, subcritical and supercritical Hopf bifurcation are possible.
