Exponential Dichotomies,the Fredholm Alternative,and Transverse Homoclinic Orbits in Partial Functional Differential Equations

In this paper we investigate the transversality of homoclinic orbits in partial functional differential equations. We first discuss the exponential dichotomies for linear operator equations. Then we show that the Fredholm Alternative holds if the homogeneous equation has exponential dichotomies on R. Transversality of homoclinic orbits for periodically perturbed partial functional differential equations is studied using the Liapunov-Schmidt method and the Melnikov integral.

Melnikov's method for rigid bodies subject to small perturbation torques

Summary In this paper, the global motion of rigid bodies subjected to small perturbation torques, either conservative or dissipative, is investigated by means of Melnikov's method. Deprit's variables are introduced to transform the equations of motion into a standard form which is rendered suitable for the application of Melnikov's method. The Melnikov method is used to predict the transversal intersections of stable and unstable manifolds for the pertubed rigid-body motion. The chosen examples are a self-excited rigid body subject to a small periodic torque in a viscous medium, and the heavy rigid body. It is shown in both cases that there exist transversal intersections of heteroclinic orbits for certain ranges of parameter values.     

Melnikov function and Poincaré map

In this paper we give the relationship between Melnikov function and Poincare map, and a new proof for Melnikov’s method. The advantage of our paper is to give a more explicit solution and to make Melnikov function for the subharmonics bifurcation and Melnikoy function which the stable manifolds and unstable manifolds intersect transversely into a formula.     

Chaotic behavior in the nonlinear elastic beam

The dynamic response of the non-linear elastic simply supported beam subjected to axial forces and transverse periodic load is studied. Melnikov method is used to consider the dynamic behavior of the system whose post-buckling path is steady. The effect of the higher order terms in the controlling equation is taken into account. It is found that the fifth-order terms have a great influence on the dynamic behavior of the system. The result shows that there exist either homoclinic orbits or heteroclinic orbits in the system. In this paper, the critical values of the system entering chaotic states are given. The diagram of an example is shown. The project is supported by the National Natural Sciences Foundation of China.     

Higher-order Melnikov method

In this paper the Melnikov method has been generalized to the case of higher-order byfinding an explicit expression for second-order subharmonic Melnikov function,and it hasbeen proved that the existence of subharmonic or hyper-subharmonic of a system can beproved under certain conditions by use of second-order Melnikov function.

Frictional Oscillations Under the Action of Almost Periodic Excitation

Frictional oscillations under the action of almost periodic force are studied. The modulation equations are derived by the multiple scales method to study bifurcations behavior. Heteroclinic Melnikov function is constructed to obtain the region of chaotic solutions of these equations. Bifurcations of almost periodic orbits are studied by Van der Pol transformation and averaging procedure.     

Chaotic Oscillation of Saddle Form Cable-Suspended Roofs under Vertical Excitation Action

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the dynamic behaviour of saddle form cable-suspended roofs under vertical excitation action. The governing equations of this problem are system of nonlinear partial differential and integral equations. We first establish a spectral equation, and then consider a model with one coefficient, i.e., a perturbed Duffing equation. The analytical solution is derived for the Duffing equation. Successive approximation solutions can be obtained in likely way for each time to only one new unknown function of time. Numerical results are given for our analytical solution. By using the Melnikov method, it is shown that the spectral system has chaotic solutions and subharmonic solutions under determined parametric conditions.     

Analysis and synthesis of oscillator systems described by a perturbed double-well Duffing equation

This paper presents an investigation of limit cycles in oscillator systems described by a perturbed double-well Duffing equation. The analysis of limit cycles is made by the Melnikov theory. Expressing the solutions of the unperturbed Duffing equation by Jacobi elliptic functions allows us to calculate explicitly the Melnikov function, whereupon the final result is a function involving the complete elliptic integrals. The Melnikov function is analyzed with the aid of the Picard–Fuchs and Riccati equations. It has been proved that the considered oscillator system can have two small hyperbolic limit cycles located symmetrically with respect to the y-axis, or one large hyperbolic limit cycle, or two large hyperbolic limit cycles, or one large limit cycle of multiplicity 2. Moreover, we have obtained the conditions under which each of these limit cycles arises. The present work gives the conditions for the arising of limit cycles around the homoclinic trajectory. In this connection, an alternative approach is proposed for obtaining a series expansion of the Melnikov function near the homoclinic trajectory. This approach uses the series expansion of the complete elliptic integrals as the elliptic modulus tends to 1. It is shown that a jumping phenomenon may occur between limit cycles in the analyzed oscillator system. The conditions for the occurrence of this jumping phenomenon are given. A method for the synthesis of an oscillator system with a preliminary assigned limit cycle is also presented in the article. The obtained analytical results are illustrated and confirmed by numerical simulations.     

Chaotic thresholds for the piecewise linear discontinuous system with multiple well potentials

In this paper we investigate the bifurcations and the chaos of a piecewise linear discontinuous (PWLD) system based upon a rig-coupled SD oscillator, which can be smooth or discontinuous (SD) depending on the value of a system parameter, proposed in [18], showing the equilibrium bifurcations and the transitions between single, double and triple well dynamics for smooth regions. All solutions of the perturbed PWLD system, including equilibria, periodic orbits and homoclinic-like and heteroclinic-like orbits, are obtained and also the chaotic solutions are given analytically for this system. This allows us to employ the Melnikov method to detect the chaotic criterion analytically from the breaking of the homoclinic-like and heteroclinic-like orbits in the presence of viscous damping and an external harmonic driving force. The results presented here in this paper show the complicated dynamics for PWLD system of the subharmonic solutions, chaotic solutions and the coexistence of multiple solutions for the single well system, double well system and the triple well dynamics.     

Global bifurcations and multi-pulse chaotic dynamics of rectangular thin plate with one-to-one internal resonance

Global bifurcations and multi-pulse chaotic dynamics for a simply supported rectangular thin plate are studied by the extended Melnikov method.The rectangular thin plate is subject to transversal and in-plane excitation.A two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear nonautonomous system governing equations of motion for the rectangular thin plate is derived by the von Karman type equation and the Galerkin approach.A one-toone internal resonance is considered.An averaged equation is obtained with a multi-scale method.After transforming the averaged equation into a standard form,the extended Melnikov method is used to show the existence of multi-pulse chaotic dynamics,which can be used to explain the mechanism of modal interactions of thin plates.A method for calculating the Melnikov function is given without an explicit analytical expression of homoclinic orbits.Furthermore,restrictions on the damping,excitation,and detuning parameters are obtained,under which the multi-pulse chaotic dynamics is expected.The results of numerical simulations are also given to indicate the existence of small amplitude multi-pulse chaotic responses for the rectangular thin plate.     

一类非自治动力系统超次谐周期解的不存在性

在非线性动力系统的研究中， Melnikov函数被广泛地用来作为微扰哈密顿系统是否发生次谐或超次谐分岔乃至混沌的判 据. 但是在大多数情况下，经典的Melnikov方法往往只给出存在次谐周期解的结论. 产生 该结果的原因被归之为在经典的Melnikov方法中只采取了一阶近似，因而高阶Melnikov方 法被发展用来判断超次谐周期解的存在性. 本文对一类非自治微分动力系统进行了研究，证 明了在这样一类系统中如果存在周期解则只可能是次谐周期解，超次谐周期解不可能存在， 并进一步证明了在一类平面问题中所定义的旋转(R)型超次谐周期解同样不可能存在.作为 该结论的一个应用，文中考察了几个典型的算例，结果表明现有的二阶Melnikov方法判断 平面扰动系统是否存在超次谐周期解的结论是不恰当的，并提供了一个简单的几何上的解释.

Nonlinear dynamical behavior of shallow cylindrical reticulated shells

By using the method of quasi-shells,the nonlinear dynamic equations of three-dimensional single-layer shallow cylindrical reticulated shells with equilateral tri- angle cell are founded.By using the method of the separating variable function,the transverse displacement of the shallow cylindrical reticulated shells is given under the conditions of two edges simple support.The tensile force is solved out from the compati- ble equations,a nonlinear dynamic differential equation containing second and third order is derived by using the method of Galerkin.The stability near the equilibrium point is discussed by solving the Floquet exponent and the critical condition is obtained by using Melnikov function.The existence of the chaotic motion of the single-layer shallow cylin- drical reticulated shell is approved by using the digital simulation method and Poincarémapping.

A Melnikov Method for Homoclinic Orbits with Many Pulses

We present an extension of the Melnikov method which can be used for ascertaining the existence of homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits with many pulses in a class of near‐integrable systems. The Melnikov function in this situation is the sum of the usual Melnikov functions evaluated with some appropriate phase delays. We show that a nonfolding condition which involves the logarithmic derivative of the Melnikov function must be satisfied in addition to the usual transversality conditions in order for homoclinic orbits with more than one pulse to exist.

Subharmonic Melnikov method of six-dimensional nonlinear systems and application to a laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular plate

In this paper, the bifurcations of subharmonic orbits are investigated for six-dimensional non-autonomous nonlinear systems using the improved subharmonic Melnikov method. The unperturbed system is composed of three independent planar Hamiltonian systems such that the unperturbed system has a family of periodic orbits. The key problem at hand is the determination of the sufficient conditions on some of the periodic orbits for the unperturbed system to generate the subharmonic orbits after the periodic perturbations. Using the periodic transformations and the Poincaré map, an improved subharmonic Melnikov method is presented. Two theorems are obtained and can be used to analyze the subharmonic dynamic responses of six-dimensional non-autonomous nonlinear systems. The subharmonic Melnikov method is directly utilized to investigate the subharmonic orbits of the six-dimensional non-autonomous nonlinear system for a laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular plate. Using the subharmonic Melnikov method, the bifurcation function of the subharmonic orbit is obtained. Numerical simulations are used to verify the analytical predictions. The results of the numerical simulation also indicate the existence of the subharmonic orbits for the laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular plate.
