Double Poincaré sections of a quasi-periodically forced,chaotic attractor

A nonlinear mechanical oscillator is forced with two incommensurate harmonic signals and chaotic vibrations are experimentally observed. The fractal nature of this strange attractor in four-dimensional phase space is revealed by using a double Poincaré section. This section involves a narrow timing pulse on one harmonic driving signal and a wider phase window on the other forcing harmonic signal. The resulting two-dimensional map shows a Cantor set structure characteristic of strange attractors. The transition from quasi-periodic to chaotic vibrations is also observed.     

Attractors of a duffing equation-dependence on the exciting frequency

Attractors of a special Duffing equation are presented. The paper includes both strange attractors and periodic attractors. Emphasis is placed upon the evolution of an attractor starting from a very simple “thin” shape to a growing complex structure. It is shown that such an evolution is controlled by the exciting frequency. Further, the results indicate for this Duffing equation that complicated strange attractors are related to simple bifurcation behavior and vice versa.

Some comments on the Mindlin-Goodman method of solving vibrations problems with time dependent boundary conditions

Experimental evidence is presented for chaotic type non-periodic motions of a deterministic magnetoelastic oscillator. These motions are analogous to solutions in non-linear dynamic systems possessing what have been called “strange attractors”. In the experiments described below a ferromagnetic beam buckled between two magnets undergoes forced oscillations. Although the applied force is sinusoidal, nevertheless bounded, non-periodic, apparently chaotic motions result due to jumps between two or three stable equilibrium positions. A frequency analysis of the motion shows a broad spectrum of frequencies below the driving frequency. Also the distribution of zero crossing times shows a broad spectrum of times greater than the forcing period. The driving amplitude and frequency parameters required for these non-periodic motions are determined experimentally. A continuum model based on linear elastic and non-linear magnetic forces is developed and it is shown that this can be reduced to a single degree of freedom oscillator which exhibits chaotic solutions very similar to those observed experimentally. Thus, both experimental and theoretical evidence for the existence of a strange attractor in a deterministic dynamical system is presented.     

A new 5D hyperchaotic system with stable equilibrium point,transient chaotic behaviour and its fractional-order form

In this paper, we construct a novel 4D autonomous chaotic system with four cross-product nonlinear terms and five equilibria. The multiple coexisting attractors and the multiscroll attractor of the system are numerically investigated. Research results show that the system has various types of multiple attractors, including three strange attractors with a limit cycle, three limit cycles, two strange attractors with a pair of limit cycles, two coexisting strange attractors. By using the passive control theory, a controller is designed for controlling the chaos of the system. Both analytical and numerical studies verify that the designed controller can suppress chaotic motion and stabilise the system at the origin. Moreover, an electronic circuit is presented for implementing the chaotic system.     

Chaotic dynamics of simple vibrational systems

This study discusses the development of a technique for analysis of the dynamical regimes of complex mechanical systems consisting of a rotor motor coupled to a system with multi-degrees-of-freedom. To understand the possible qualitatively different dynamical regimes in such systems, a simple mechanical system is considered of the “rotator-oscillator” type with a finite power source. This system has four degrees-of-freedom and is defined in four-dimensional cylindrical phase space with 12 parameters. Near the main resonance the original system is reduced to the Lorenz system with four parameters defined in a three-dimensional Cartesian phase space. This is done with the help of a special change of variables, parameters, and employing an averaging method. Studying the latter system, the existence of one of the chaotic attractors, namely of Lorenz attractor is established. Also established is the Feigenbaum attractor and the alternation. Chaotic limit sets define chaotic behavior of the instantaneous frequency of rotation of the asynchronous motor. The Poincare mappings are presented to show the correspondence of the original 4 dof and averaged 3 dof systems. The qualitative rotational characteristics for different values of the system parameters are obtained. In particular, the system can possess normal Sommerfeld effect, doubled Sommerfeld effect and a so-called scattering of the torque curve. The scattering of the torque curve (which is a known effect in micro-electronics) is likely to be a new effect in mechanics. In contrast to the Sommerfeld effect, when frequency or amplitude jumps occur instantaneously (once the unstable point of the characteristic is reached), the jump to a next stable point may take a certain time, even infinite one. Such chaotic mistuning of the motor frequency would result in random vibrations leading to system wear and damage.     

Control of quasiparticle self-fluctuations in a CuCl crystal

A theory is developed for regular and chaotic self fluctuations in crystal CuCl for a ring resonator geometry. A system of nonlinear differential equations is derived for the dynamic evolution of coherent excitons, photons, and biexcitons. It is shown that, in the unstable portions of the optical bistability curves, nonlinear periodic and chaotic self fluctuations can develop with the creation of limit cycles and strange attractors in the phase space of the system. A computer simulation is used to determine the parameters for which reliable switching takes place in the system and the parameter ranges are found within which the system undergoes a transition from strange attractor to limit cycle. The possibility of experimentally observing the phenomena studied here is discussed. Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 41, 1939–1943 (November 1999)     

Coupled horizontal and vertical bending vibrations of a stationary shaft with two cracks

This paper investigates the coupled bending vibrations of a stationary shaft with two cracks. It is known from the literature that, when a crack exists in a shaft, the bending, torsional, and longitudinal vibrations are coupled. This study focuses on the horizontal and vertical planes of a cracked shaft, whose bending vibrations are caused by a vertical excitation, in the clamped end of the model. When the crack orientations are not symmetrical to the vertical plane, a response in the horizontal plane is observed due to the presence of the cracks. The crack orientation is defined by the rotational angle of the crack, a parameter which affects the horizontal response. When more cracks appear in a shaft, then the coupling becomes stronger or weaker depending on the relative crack orientations. It is shown that a double peak appears in the vibration spectrum of a cracked or multi-cracked shaft.Modeling the crack in the traditional manner, as a spring, yields analytical results for the horizontal response as a function of the rotational angle and the depths of the two cracks. A 2×2 compliance matrix, containing two non-diagonal terms (those responsible for the coupling) serves to model the crack. Using the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, the equations for the natural frequencies and the coupled response of the shaft are defined. The experimental coupled response and eigenfrequency measurements for the corresponding planes are presented. The double peak was also experimentally observed.     

A simple feedback control for a chaotic oscillator with limited power supply

We proposed a simple feedback control method to suppress chaotic behavior in oscillators with limited power supply. The small-amplitude controlling signal is applied directly to the power supply system, so as to alter the characteristic curve of the driving motor. Numerical results are presented showing the method efficiency for a wide range of control parameters. Moreover, we have found that, for some parameters, this kind of control may introduce coexisting periodic attractors with complex basins of attraction and, therefore, serious problems with predictability of the final state the system will asymptote to.     

Strange Heat Flux in (An)Harmonic Networks

We study the heat transport in systems of coupled oscillators driven out of equilibrium by Gaussian heat baths. We illustrate with a few examples that such systems can exhibit “strange” transport phenomena. In particular, circulation of heat flux may appear in the steady state of a system of three oscillators only. This indicates that the direction of the heat fluxes can in general not be “guessed” from the temperatures of the heat baths. Although we primarily consider harmonic couplings between the oscillators, we explain why this strange behavior persists under weak anharmonic perturbations.     

A new four-dimensional hyperjerk system with stable equilibrium point,circuit implementation,and its synchronization by using an adaptive integrator backstepping control

This paper reports a new simple four-dimensional(4 D) hyperjerk chaotic system. The proposed system has only one stable equilibrium point. Hence, its strange attractor belongs to the category of hidden attractors. The proposed system exhibits various dynamical behaviors including chaotic, periodic, stable nature, and coexistence of various attractors. Numerous theoretical and numerical methods are used for the analyses of this system. The chaotic behavior of the new system is validated using circuit implementation. Further, the synchronization of the proposed systems is shown by designing an adaptive integrator backstepping controller. Numerical simulation validates the synchronization strategy.     

Dynamical chaos for a limited power supply for fluid oscillations in cylindrical tanks

Forced oscillations of the fluid surface in a cylindrical tank due to interaction with the excitation mechanism of a limited power supply (so-called “limited excitation” phenomena) are investigated in detail. On the basis of analysis of the largest Lyapunov exponents for a complex system—a tank with fluid and an excitation arrangement—the three types of steady-state regimes are found: equilibrium positions, periodic and chaotic regimes. Phase portraits, Poincaré sections and maps, distributions of spectral densities and invariant measures are constructed and thoroughly studied. Attention is concentrated mainly on the properties of chaotic attractors and schemes of transition from “order” to chaos. It is established that different scenarios of transition to chaos and various structures of chaotic attractors are possible in the same physical system. The new scenario transition to chaos which generalizes scenario of Pomeau-Manneville is revealed. It is shown that chaotic regimes with the single-mode fluid free surface oscillations can originate only due to interaction with the excitation mechanism.     

Basin boundaries in asymmetric vibrations of a circular plate

In order to investigate further nonlinear asymmetric vibrations of a clamped circular plate under a harmonic excitation, we reexamine a primary resonance, studied by Yeo and Lee [Corrected solvability conditions for non-linear asymmetric vibrations of a circular plate, Journal of Sound and Vibration 257 (2002) 653-665] in which at most three stable steady-state responses (one standing wave and two traveling waves) are observed to exist. Further examination, however, tells that there exist at most five stable steady-state responses: one standing wave and four traveling waves. Two of the traveling waves lose their stability by Hopf bifurcation and have a sequence of period-doubling bifurcations leading to chaos. When the system has five attractors: three equilibrium solutions (one standing wave and two traveling waves) and two chaotic attractors (two modulated traveling waves), the basin boundaries of the attractors on the principal plane are obtained. Also examined is how basin boundaries of the modulated motions (quasi-periodic and chaotic motions) evolve as a system parameter varies. The basin boundaries of the modulated motions turn out to have the fractal nature.

Generation of countless embedded trumpet-shaped chaotic attractors in two opposite directions from a new three-dimensional system with no equilibrium point

A new three-dimensional(3D) continuous autonomous system with one parameter and three quadratic terms is presented firstly in this paper. Countless embedded trumpet-shaped chaotic attractors in two opposite directions are generated from the system as time goes on. The basic dynamical behaviors of the strange chaotic system are investigated. Another more complex 3D system with the same capability of generating countless embedded trumpet-shaped chaotic attractors is also put forward.     

Experimental observation of strange nonchaotic attractors in a driven excitable system

We report the observation of strange nonchaotic attractors in an electrochemical cell. The system parameters were chosen such that the system observable (anodic current) exhibits fixed point behavior or period one oscillations. These autonomous dynamics were thereafter subjected to external quasiperiodic forcing. Systematically varying the characteristics (frequency and amplitude) of the superimposed external signal; quasiperiodic, chaotic and strange nonchaotic behaviors in the anodic current were generated. The inception of strange nonchaotic attractors was verified using standard diagnostic techniques.     

Dynamic analysis and synchronization control of an unusual chaotic system with exponential term and coexisting attractors

This paper reports a new four-dimensional chaotic system consisting of an exponential nonlinear term, two quadratic nonlinear terms and five linear terms. The system has only one equilibrium and performs stability, periodicity and chaos with the variation of the parameters. It losses its stability with the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation and goes into chaos via period-doubling bifurcation. One more interesting feature of the system is that it can generate multiple coexisting attractors for different initial conditions, such as two strange attractors with one limit cycle, one strange attractor with two limit cycles, etc. The dynamic properties of the system are presented by numerical simulation includes bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponent spectrum and phase portraits. An electronic circuit is constructed to implement the chaotic attractor of the system. Based on the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) method, the synchronization control of the system is investigated.     

A special type of attractor and transitions in a delayed system

We discuss strange nonchaotic attractors (SNAs) in addition to chaotic and regular attractors in a quasiperiodically driven system with time delays. A route and the associated mechanism are described for a special type of attractor called strange-nonchaotic-attractor-like (SNA-like) through T² torus bifurcation. The type of attractor can be observed in large parameter domains and it is easily mistaken for a true SNA judging merely from the phase portrait, power spectrum and the largest Lyapunov exponent. SNA-like attractor is not strange and has no phase sensitivity. Conditions for Neimark-Sacker bifurcation are obtained by theoretical analysis for the unforced system. Complicated and interesting dynamical transitions are investigated among the different tongues.
