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.

Hopf bifurcation analysis of a new commensurate fractional-order hyperchaotic system

In this paper, a new fractional-order hyperchaotic system based on the Lorenz system is presented. The chaotic behaviors are validated by the positive Lyapunov exponents. Furthermore, the fractional Hopf bifurcation is investigated. It is found that the system admits Hopf bifurcations with varying fractional order and parameters, respectively. Under different bifurcation parameters, some conditions ensuring the Hopf bifurcations are proposed. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate and verify the results.     

Elastoplastic microscopic bifurcation and post-bifurcation behavior of periodic cellular solids

In this study, a general framework is developed to analyze microscopic bifurcation and post-bifurcation behavior of elastoplastic, periodic cellular solids. The framework is built on the basis of a two-scale theory, called a homogenization theory, of the updated Lagrangian type. We thus derive the eigenmode problem of microscopic bifurcation and the orthogonality to be satisfied by the eigenmodes. The orthogonality allows the macroscopic increments to be independent of the eigenmodes, resulting in a simple procedure of the elastoplastic post-bifurcation analysis based on the notion of comparison solids. By use of this framework, then, bifurcation and post-bifurcation analysis are performed for cell aggregates of an elastoplastic honeycomb subject to in-plane compression. Thus, demonstrating a basic, long-wave eigenmode of microscopic bifurcation under uniaxial compression, it is shown that the eigenmode has the longitudinal component dominant to the transverse component and consequently causes microscopic buckling to localize in a cell row perpendicular to the loading axis. It is further shown that under equi-biaxial compression, the flower-like buckling mode having occurred in a macroscopically stable state changes into an asymmetric, long-wave mode due to the sextuple bifurcation in a macroscopically unstable state, leading to the localization of microscopic buckling in deltaic areas.     

Dynamical behaviors of the periodic parameter-switching system

In this paper, a periodic parameter-switching system about Lorenz oscillators is established. To investigate the bifurcation behavior of this system, Poincaré mapping of the whole system is defined by suitable local sections and local mappings. The location of the fixed point and the parameter values of local bifurcations are calculated by the shooting method and Runge–Kutta method. Then based on the Floquent theory, we conclude that the period-doubling and saddle-node bifurcations play an important role in the generation of various periodic solutions and chaos. Meanwhile, upon the analysis of the equilibrium points of the subsystems, we explore the mechanisms of different periodic switching oscillations.     

Stability and bifurcation analysis of a nonlinear transversally loaded rotating shaft

The dynamic stability and self-excited posteritical whirling of rotating transversally loaded shaft made of a standard material with elastic and viscous nonlinearities are analyzed in this paper using the theory of bifurcations as a mathematical tool. Partial differential equations of motion are derived under assumption that von Karman's nonlinearity is absent but geometric curvature nonlinearity is included. Galerkin's first-mode discretization procedure is then applied and the equations of motion are transformed to two third-order nonlinear equations that are analyzed using the theory of bifurcation. Condition for nontrivial equilibrium stability is determined and a bifurcating periodic solution of the second-order approximation is derived. The effects of dimensionless stress relaxation time and cubic elastic and viscous nonlinearities as well as the role of the transverse load are studied in the exemplary numerical calculations. A strongly stabilizing influence of the relaxation time is found that may eliminate self-excited vibration at all. Transition from super- to subcritical bifurcation is observed as a result of interaction between system nonlinearities and the transverse load.     

Hopf bifurcation analysis in a Lorenz-type system

In this technical note, the Hopf bifurcation in a new Lorenz-type system is studied. By analyzing the characteristic equations, the existence of a Hopf bifurcation is established. Some corresponding dynamics are also discussed briefly. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main theoretical results.     

Primary pulse transmission in a strongly nonlinear periodic system

The aim of this work is to study the transmission of stress waves in an impulsively forced semi-infinite repetitive system of linear layers which are coupled by means of strongly nonlinear coupling elements. Only primary pulse transmission and reflection at each nonlinear element is considered. This permits the reduction of the problem to an infinite set of first-order strongly nonlinear ordinary differential equations. A subset of these equations is solved both analytically and numerically. For a system possessing clearance nonlinearities it is found that the primary transmitted pulse propagates to only a finite number of layers, and that further transmission of energy to additional layers can occur only through time-delayed secondary pulses or does not occur at all. Hence, clearance nonlinearities in a periodic layered system can lead to energy entrapment in the leading layers. An alternative continuum approximation methodology is also outlined which reduces the problem of primary pulse transmission to the solution of a single strongly nonlinear partial differential equation. The use of the continuum approximation for studying maximum primary pulse penetration in the system with clearance nonlinearities is discussed.     

Numerical analysis of bifurcation buckling for rotationally periodic structures under rotationally periodic loads

By considering the characteristics of deformation of rotationally periodic structures under rotationally periodic loads, the periodic structure is divided into some identical substructures in this study. The degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) of joint nodes between the neighboring substructures are classified as master and slave ones. The stress and strain conditions of the whole structure are obtained by solving the elastic static equations for only one substructure by introducing the displacement constraints between master and slave DOFs. The complex constraint method is used to get the bifurcation buckling load and mode for the whole rotationally periodic structure by solving the eigenvalue problem for only one substructure without introducing any additional approximation. The finite element (FE) formulation of shell element of relative degrees of freedom (SERDF) in the buckling analysis is derived. Different measures of tackling internal degrees of freedom for different kinds of buckling problems and different stages of numerical analysis are presented. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the high efficiency and validity of this method.     

Periodic behavior of a nonlinear dynamical system

Nonlinear dynamical systems, being more of a realistic representation of nature, could exhibit a somewhat complex behavior. Their analysis requires a thorough investigation into the solution of the governing differential equations. In this paper, a class of third order nonlinear differential equations has been analyzed. An attempt has been made to obtain sufficient conditions in order to guarantee the existence of periodic solutions. The results obtained from this analysis are shown to be beneficial when studying the steady-state response of nonlinear dynamical systems. In order to obtain the periodic solutions for any form of third order differential equations, a computer program has been developed on the basis of the fourth order Runge-Kutta method together with the Newton-Raphson algorithm. Results obtained from the computer simulation model confirmed the validity of the mathematical approach presented for these sufficient conditions.     

非线性电报方程组的3个双周期正解问题

This paper studies existence of at least three positive doubly periodic solutions of a coupled nonlinear telegraph system with doubly periodic boundary conditions. First, by using the Green function and maximum principle, existence of solutions of a nonlinear telegraph system is equivalent to existence of fixed points of an operator. By imposing growth conditions on the nonlinearities, existence of at least three fixed points in cone is obtained by using the Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem to cones in ordered Banach spaces. In other words, there exist at least three positive doubly periodic solutions of nonlinear telegraph system.     

Stability and bifurcation behaviors analysis in a nonlinear harmful algal dynamical model

A food chain made up of two typical algae and a zooplankton was considered. Based on ecological eutrophication, interaction of the algal and the prey of the zooplankton, a nutrient nonlinear dynamic system was constructed. Using the methods of the modern nonlinear dynamics, the bifurcation behaviors and stability of the model equations by changing the control parameter r were discussed. The value of r for bifurcation point was calculated, and the stability of the limit cycle was also discussed. The result shows that through quasi-periodicity bifurcation the system is lost in chaos.     

Dynamical properties and simulation of a new Lorenz-like chaotic system

This paper formulates a new three-dimensional chaotic system that originates from the Lorenz system, which is different from the known Lorenz system, Rössler system, Chen system, and includes Lü systems as its special case. By using the center manifold theorem, the stability character of its non-hyperbolic equilibria is obtained. The Hopf bifurcation and the degenerate pitchfork bifurcation, the local character of stable manifold and unstable manifold, are also in detail shown when the parameters of this system vary in the space of parameters. Corresponding bifurcation cases are illustrated by numerical simulations, too. The existence or non-existence of homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits of this system is also studied by both rigorous theoretical analysis and numerical simulation.     

Stability and bifurcation analysis in the delay-coupled nonlinear oscillators

This paper investigates the dynamical behavior of two oscillators with nonlinearity terms, which are coupled with finite delay parameters. Each oscillator is a general class of second-order nonlinear delay-differential equations. The system of delay differential equations is analyzed by reducing the delay equations to a system of ordinary differential equations on a finite-dimensional center manifold, the corresponding to an infinite-dimensional phase space. In addition, the characteristic equation for the linear stability of the trivial equilibrium is completely analyzed and the stability region is illustrated in the parameters space. Our analysis reveals necessary coefficients of the reduced vector field on the center manifold for studying the bifurcations of the trivial equilibrium such as transcritical, pitchfork, and Hopf bifurcation. Finally, we consider the delay-coupled van der Pol equations.     

A new 3-D finite element for nonlinear elasticity using the theory of a Cosserat point

The theory of a Cosserat point has been used to formulate a new 3-D finite element for the numerical analysis of dynamic problems in nonlinear elasticity. The kinematics of this element are consistent with the standard tri-linear approximation in an eight node brick-element. Specifically, the Cosserat point is characterized by eight director vectors which are determined by balance laws and constitutive equations. For hyperelastic response, the constitutive equations for the director couples are determined by derivatives of a strain energy function. Restrictions are imposed on the strain energy function which ensure that the element satisfies a nonlinear version of the patch test. It is shown that the Cosserat balance laws are in one-to-one correspondence with those obtained using a Bubnov–Galerkin formulation. Nevertheless, there is an essential difference between the two approaches in the procedure for obtaining the strain energy function. Specifically, the Cosserat approach determines the constitutive coefficients for inhomogeneous deformations by comparison with exact solutions or experimental data. In contrast, the Bubnov–Galerkin approach determines these constitutive coefficients by integrating the 3-D strain energy function using the kinematic approximation. It is shown that the resulting Cosserat equations eliminate unphysical locking, and hourglassing in large compression without the need for using assumed enhanced strains or special weighting functions.
