Approximate solutions and chaotic motions of a piecewise nonlinear–linear oscillator

A global symmetric period-1 approximate solution is analytically constructed for the non-resonant periodic response of a periodically excited piecewise nonlinear–linear oscillator. The approximate solutions are found to be in good agreement with the exact solutions that are obtained from the numerical integration of the original equations. In addition, the dynamic behaviour of the oscillator is numerically investigated with the help of bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents, Poincare maps, phase portraits and basins of attraction. The existence of subharmonic and chaotic motions and the coexistence of four attractors are observed for some combinations of the system parameters.     

Resonance,stability and chaotic vibration of a quarter-car vehicle model with time-delay feedback

This paper examines dynamical behavior of a nonlinear oscillator with a symmetric potential that models a quarter-car forced by the road profile. The primary, superharmonic and subharmonic resonances of a harmonically excited nonlinear quarter-car model with linear time delayed active control are investigated. The method of multiple scales is utilized to obtain first order approximation of response. We focus on the influence of delay in the system. This naturally gives rise to a delay deferential equation (DDE) model of the system. The effect of time delay and feedback gains of the steady state responses of primary, superharmonic and subharmonic resonances are investigated. By means of Melnikov technique, necessary condition for onset of chaos resulting from homoclinic bifurcation is derived analytically. We describe a method to identify the critical forcing function and time delay above which the system becomes unstable. It is found that proper selection of time-delay shows optimum dynamical behavior. The accuracy of the method is obtained from the fractal basin boundaries.     

Bifurcations of periodic solutions and chaos in Duffing-van der Pol equation with one external forcing

The Duffing-Van der Pol equation withfifth nonlinear-restoring force and one external forcing term isinvestigated in detail: the existence and bifurcations of harmonicand second-order subharmonic, and third-order subharmonic,third-order superharmonic and $m$-order subharmonic under smallperturbations are obtained by using second-order averaging methodand subharmonic Melnikov function; the threshold values of existenceof chaotic motion are obtained by using Melnikov method. Thenumerical simulation results including the influences of periodicand quasi-periodic and all parameters exhibit more new complexdynamical behaviors. We show that the reverse period-doublingbifurcation to chaos, period-doubling bifurcation to chaos,quasi-periodic orbits route to chaos, onset of chaos, and chaossuddenly disappearing, and chaos suddenly converting to periodorbits, different chaotic regions with a great abundance of periodicwindows (periods:1,2,3,4,5,7,9,10,13,15,17,19,21,25,29,31,37,41, andso on), and more wide period-one window, and varied chaoticattractors including small size and maximum Lyapunov exponentapproximate to zero but positive, and the symmetry-breaking ofperiodic orbits. In particular, the system can leave chaotic regionto periodic motion by adjusting the parameters $p, \beta, \gamma, f$and $\omega$, which can be considered as a control strategy.     

Bifurcations and chaos of the nonlinear viscoelastic plates subjected to subsonic flow and external loads

The subharmonic bifurcations and chaotic motions of the nonlinear viscoelastic plates subjected to subsonic flow and external loads are studied by means of Melnikov method. The critical conditions for the occurrence of chaotic motions are obtained. The chaotic features on the system parameters are discussed in detail. The conditions for subharmonic bifurcations are also obtained. For the system with no structural damping, chaotic motions can occur through infinite subharmonic bifurcations of odd orders. Furthermore, we confirm our theoretical predictions by numerical simulations. The theoretical results obtained here can help us to eliminate or suppress large nonlinear vibrations and chaotic motions of the nonlinear viscoelastic plates. Based on Melnikov method, complex dynamical behaviors of the nonlinear viscoelastic plates can be controlled by modifying the system parameters.     

Active control of secondary resonances piezoelectric sandwich beams

Secondary resonances of piezoelectric/elastic/piezoelectric sandwich beams submitted to active control are studied in this paper. The proportional and derivative nonlinear potential feedback controls via piezoelectric sensor and actuator layers are used. The dynamics of the beam is modelled by a highly nonlinear ordinary-differential equation. The method of multiple scales is applied and approximate solutions are obtained for hard excitations. Analytical frequency and phase-amplitude relationships as well as the time response are explicitly given for various super- and subharmonic resonances. Static and dynamic stability criteria are elaborated and critical displacement and excitation amplitudes associated to the resulting unstable zones are analytically given. The feedback parameters effects on the subharmonic and superharmonic resonances and on their stability are investigated.

Synchronization of a periodically forced Duffing oscillator with a periodically excited pendulum

In this paper, the analytical conditions for a periodically forced Duffing oscillator synchronized with a chaotic pendulum are developed through the theory of discontinuous dynamical systems. From the analytical conditions, the synchronization invariant domains are developed. For a better understanding of synchronization of two different dynamical systems, the partial and full synchronizations of the Duffing oscillator with the chaotic pendulum are presented for illustrations. The control parameter map is developed from the analytical conditions. Under special parameters, the two systems can be fully and partially synchronized. Since the forced pendulum has librational and rotational chaotic motions, the periodically forced Duffing oscillator can be synchronized only with the librational chaotic motions of the pendulum. It is impossible for the forced Duffing oscillator to be synchronized with the rotational chaotic motions.

Minimal Fine Limits of Subharmonic Functions of Slow Growth

Two results are proved which show that a subharmonic functionon the unit disc which does not grow too quickly and which doesnot have asymptotic value at too many points, must have finiteminimal fine limits at boundary points forming a set of positivelinear measure. Similar methods are used to obtain an asymptoticPhragmén-Lindelöf theorem for subharmonic functions.These results generalize and improve on earlier results forholomorphic functions.     

A hyperchaotic system from the Rabinovich system

This paper presents a new 4D hyperchaotic system which is constructed by a linear controller to the 3D Rabinovich chaotic system. Some complex dynamical behaviors such as boundedness, chaos and hyperchaos of the 4D autonomous system are investigated and analyzed. A theoretical and numerical study indicates that chaos and hyperchaos are produced with the help of a Liénard-like oscillatory motion around a hypersaddle stationary point at the origin. The corresponding bounded hyperchaotic and chaotic attractors are first numerically verified through investigating phase trajectories, Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation path and Poincaré projections. Finally, two complete mathematical characterizations for 4D Hopf bifurcation are rigorously derived and studied.

Explanation of appearance and characteristics of intermittency chaos of the impact oscillator

Chaotic motion of an intermittency type of the impact oscillator appears near segments of saddle-node stability boundaries of subharmonic motions with two different impacts in motion period, which is n multiple (n3) of excitation period. Chaotic motion arises due to an additional impact, which interrupts the process of instability. It is proved and shown by numerical simulations of the system motion. More detail characteristics of the intermittency chaos are evaluated. Described phenomena present a non-usual example, when transition cross special segments of saddle-node stability boundaries of subharmonic impact motions is reversible.     

Energy growth for a nonlinear oscillator coupled to a monochromatic wave

A system consisting of a chaotic (billiard-like) oscillator coupled to a linear wave equation in the three-dimensional space is considered. It is shown that the chaotic behavior of the oscillator can cause the transfer of energy from a monochromatic wave to the oscillator, whose energy can grow without bound.     

Numerical simulation of the transition to chaos in a dissipative Duffing oscillator with two-frequency excitation

A mathematical modeling technique is proposed for oscillation chaotization in an essentially nonlinear dissipative Duffing oscillator with two-frequency excitation on an invariant torus in ?². The technique is based on the joint application of the parameter continuation method, Floquet stability criteria, bifurcation theory, and the Everhart high-accuracy numerical integration method. This approach is used for the numerical construction of subharmonic solutions in the case when the oscillator passes to chaos through a sequence of period-multiplying bifurcations. The value of a universal constant obtained earlier by the author while investigating oscillation chaotization in dissipative oscillators with single-frequency periodic excitation is confirmed.     

On the dynamics of a periodic Colpitts oscillator forced by periodic and chaotic signals

In this paper, we have examined effects of forcing a periodic Colpitts oscillator with periodic and chaotic signals for different values of coupling factors. The forcing signal is generated in a master bias-tuned Colpitts oscillator having identical structure as that of the slave periodic oscillator. Numerically solving the system equations, it is observed that the slave oscillator goes to chaotic state through a period-doubling route for increasing strengths of the forcing periodic signal. For forcing with chaotic signal, the transition to chaos is observed but the route to chaos is not clearly detectable due to random variations of the forcing signal strength. The chaos produced in the slave Colpitts oscillator for a chaotic forcing is found to be in a phase-synchronized state with the forced chaos for some values of the coupling factor. We also perform a hardware experiment in the radio frequency range with prototype Colpitts oscillator circuits and the experimental observations are in agreement with the numerical simulation results.
