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.     

Amplitude modulated dynamics of a resonantly excited autoparametric two degree-of-freedom system

Forced, weakly nonlinear oscillations of a two degree-of-freedom autoparametric vibration absorber system are studied for resonant excitations. The method of averaging is used to obtain first-order approximations to the response of the system. A complete bifurcation analysis of the averaged equations is undertaken in the subharmonic case of internal and external resonance. The locked pendulum mode of response is found to bifurcate to coupled-mode motion for some excitation frequencies and forcing amplitudes. The coupled-mode response can undergo Hopf bifurcation to limit cycle motions, when the two linear modes are mistuned away from the exact internal resonance condition. The software packages AUTO and KAOS are used and a numerically assisted study of the Hopf bifurcation sets, and dynamic steady solutions of the amplitude or averaged equations is presented. It is shown that both super-and sub-critical Hopf bifurcations arise and the limit cycles quickly undergo period-doubling bifurcations to chaos. These imply chaotic amplitude modulated motions for the system.     

Bifurcation analysis for a modified Jeffcott rotor with bearing clearances

A HB (Harmonic Balance)/AFT (Alternating Frequency/Time) technique is developed to obtain synchronous and subsynchronous whirling motions of a horizontal Jeffcott rotor with bearing clearances. The method utilizes an explicit Jacobian form for the iterative process which guarantees convergence at all parameter values. The method is shown to constitute a robust and accurate numerical scheme for the analysis of two dimensional nonlinear rotor problems. The stability analysis of the steady-state motions is obtained using perturbed equations about the periodic motions. The Floquet multipliers of the associated Monodromy matrix are determined using a new discrete HB/AFT method. Flip bifurcation boundaries were obtained which facilitated detection of possible rotor chaotic (irregular) motion as parameters of the system are changed. Quasi-periodic motion is also shown to occur as a result of a secondary Hopf bifurcation due to increase of the destabilizing cross-coupling stiffness coefficients in the rotor model.     

On the Hamiltonian Hopf Bifurcations in the 3D Hénon–Heiles Family

An axially symmetric perturbed isotropic harmonic oscillator undergoes several bifurcations as the parameter adjusting the relative strength of the two terms in the cubic potential is varied. We show that three of these bifurcations are Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcations. To this end we analyse an appropriately chosen normal form. It turns out that the linear behaviour is not that of a typical Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation as the eigen-values completely vanish at the bifurcation. However, the nonlinear structure is that of a Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation. The result is obtained by formulating geometric criteria involving the normalized Hamiltonian and the reduced phase space.     

A free boundary problem modeling thermal instabilities: Stability and bifurcation

In this paper, we analyze a simple free boundary model associated with solid combustion and some phase transition processes. There is strong evidence that this one-phase model captures all major features of dynamical behavior of more realistic (and complicated) combustion and phase transition models. The principal results concern the dynamical behavior of the model as a bifurcation parameter (which is related to the activation energy in the case of combustion) varies. We prove that the basic uniform front propagation is asymptotically stable against perturbations for the bifurcation parameter above the instability threshold and that a Hopf bifurcation takes place at the threshold value. Results of numerical simulations are presented which confirm that both supercritical and subcritical Hofp bifurcation may occur for physically reasonable nonlinear kinetic functions.     

Multiple bifurcation of rotating pipe flow

Viscous rotating Hagen-Poiseuille flow is shown to contain a multiple bifurcation point at which two Hopf bifurcations coalesce. The double Hopf bifurcation has nonsemisimple 1:1 resonance. The full problem in the neighborhood of this point may be reduced to a four-dimensional system of weakly nonlinear amplitude equations using an expansion of the center manifold type. An efficient numerical procedure to find the coupling coefficients in the amplitude equations is employed which avoids the explicit need to compute adjoint eigenfunctions. Numerical investigation of the amplitude equations has lead to the discovery of several new states of the fluid motion in this system, including stable rotating traveling and modulated traveling waves, a Feigenbaum period-doubling cascade, and chaotic trajectories. Homoclinic loops are found leading to dynamics which may be associated with bursting events in the physical problem under consideration.This work was supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research under Contracts AFOSR-89-0346, monitored by Dr. L.

Two-parameter bifurcation analysis of limit cycles of a simplified railway wheelset model

The effect of the nonlinear terms on bifurcation behaviors of limit cycles of a simplified railway wheelset model is investigated. At first, the stable equilibrium state loses its stability via a Hopf bifurcation. The bifurcation curve is divided into a supercritical branch and a subcritical one by a generalized Hopf point, which plays a key role in determining the occurrence of flange contact and derailment of high-speed railway vehicles, and the occurrence of this critical situation is an important decision-making criteria for design parameters. Secondly, bifurcations of limit cycles are discussed by comparing the bifurcation behavior of cycles for two different nonlinear parameters. Unlike local Hopf bifurcation analysis based on a single bifurcation parameter in most papers, global bifurcation analysis of limit cycles based on two bifurcation parameters is investigated, simultaneously. It is shown that changing nonlinear parameter terms can affect bifurcation types of cycles and division of parameter domains. In particular, near the branch points of cycles, two symmetrical limit cycles are created by a pitchfork bifurcation and then two symmetrical cycles both undergo a period-doubling bifurcation to form two stable period-two cycles. Around the resonant points, period orbits can make several turns, whose number of turns corresponds to the ratio of resonance. Thirdly, near the Neimark–Sacker bifurcation of cycles, a stable torus is created by a supercritical Neimark–Sacker bifurcation, which shows that the orbit of the model exhibits modulated oscillations with two frequencies near the limit cycle. These results demonstrate that nonlinear parameter terms can produce very complex global bifurcation phenomena and make obvious effects on possible hunting motions even though a simple railway wheelset model is concerned.

Effects of thermo hydrodynamic (THD) floating ring bearing model on rotordynamic bifurcation

This paper introduces a numerical scheme for simulating instabilities of a nonlinear rotordynamic system including thermal effects in the fluid film bearings. The method utilizes shooting/arc-length continuation, and simultaneous, finite element based solutions of the variable viscosity Reynolds equation and the energy equation. This provides a means to investigate the effects of the thermo-hydrodynamic THD model on bifurcations and nonlinear rotordynamic stability. A “Jeffcott” type rigid rotor is modeled as supported on double-layered fluid film, floating ring bearings (FRB). The FRB are known to produce highly nonlinear forces as functions of relative and absolute internal displacements and velocities. Both autonomous (free vibration) and non-autonomous (mass unbalanced excitation) cases and algorithms are presented. The computational workload and execution time required for determining coexisting periodic solutions is significantly reduced by employing deflation and parallel computing methods. The THD model nonlinear responses and bifurcation diagrams are compared with isoviscous model results for various lubricant supply temperatures. The autonomous case, THD model orbit sizes and onset of Hopf and saddle–node bifurcations for coexisting steady state responses, may have significant differences relative to the isothermal model results. The onset of Hopf bifurcation is strongly dependent on thermal conditions, and the saddle–node bifurcation points are significantly shifted compared to the isothermal model. This tends to increase the likelihood of bifurcation from a machine operators standpoint. In the non-autonomous case, large unbalance forces create sub-synchronous and quasi-periodic responses at low spin speeds. The responses stability and onset of bifurcations of these responses are highly reliant on the lubricant supply temperature.

Limit cycle oscillation suppression of 2-DOF airfoil using nonlinear energy sink

This paper presents a novel mechanical attachment, i.e., nonlinear energy sink （NES）, for suppressing the limit cycle oscillation （LCO） of an airfoil. The dynamic responses of a two-degree-of-freedom （2-DOF） airfoil coupled with an NES are studied with the harmonic balance method. Different structure parameters of the NES, i.e., mass ratio between the NES and airfoil, NES offset, NES damping, and nonlinear stiffness in the NES, are chosen for studying the effect of the LCO suppression on an aeroelastic system with a supercritical Hopf bifurcation or subcritical Hopf bifurcation, respectively. The results show that the structural parameters of the NES have different influence on the supercritical Hopf bifurcation system and the subcritical Hopf bifurcation system.

Bifurcations and chaotic dynamics in a 4-dimensional competitive Lotka–Volterra system

In this paper, we study the Hopf bifurcation for the four-dimensional competitive Lotka–Volterra system, and give an example which can display chaotic dynamics apparent like Rössler’s folded band attractor. This demonstrates that Smale’s conclusions in (J. Math. Biol., 3:5–7, 1976) are true even for the simplest competitive Lotka–Volterra systems when the dimension n is four. We explore the mechanism of occurrence of chaotic behavior for the four-dimensional competitive Lotka–Volterra system. The numerical study indicates that a periodic solution by Hopf bifurcation can undergo successive period-doubling cascades, and a homoclinic orbit can undergo homoclinic bifurcation by Shil’nikov theorem.

Dynamics and nonlinear feedback control for torsional vibration bifurcation in main transmission system of scraper conveyor direct-driven by high-power PMSM

The main transmission system of a scraper conveyor direct-driven by the high-power permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is taken as a study object. With the effect of the nonlinear friction torque caused by the nonuniformity of the transported coal quality in the operation process considered, the torsional vibration bifurcation mechanism and the corresponding control measures for the main transmission system of the scraper conveyor are investigated. Firstly, based on the Lagrange–Maxwell principle, the global electromechanical-coupling dynamic models for the main transmission system of the scraper conveyor are constructed. Secondly, by the Routh–Hurwitz stability criterion, the Hopf bifurcation characteristics of the main transmission system are analyzed to reveal the influence of supercritical bifurcation and subcritical bifurcation on the torsional oscillation of the transmission shafting. Thirdly, in order to suppress the system unstable oscillation caused by the Hopf bifurcation, the motor speed is fed back to construct the nonlinear state feedback controller for the quadrature axis current of the PMSM by the \(I_{d}=0\) vector control strategy. Similarly, on the basis of the Routh–Hurwitz criterion, the influence of the linear feedback coefficient in the nonlinear state feedback controller on the system bifurcation position is discussed. Meanwhile, by the central manifold theory and canonical form theory, the effect of the square and cubic nonlinear feedback coefficients on the Hopf bifurcation type of the torsional vibration and the amplitude of the stable limit cycle are investigated. Finally, the numerical simulation results show the effectiveness of the designed controller.     

Dynamics and bifurcations in the weak electrolyte model for electroconvection of nematic liquid crystals: a Ginzburg–Landau approach

In this paper we present the results of a bifurcation study of the weak electrolyte model for nematic electroconvection, for values of the parameters including experimentally measured values of the nematic I52. The linear stability analysis shows the existence of primary bifurcations of Hopf type, involving normal as well as oblique rolls. The weakly nonlinear analysis is performed using four globally coupled complex Ginzburg–Landau equations for the waves' envelopes. If spatial variations are ignored, these equations reduce to the normal form for a Hopf bifurcation with $O(2)\times O(2)$ symmetry. A rich variety of stable waves, as well as more complex spatiotemporal dynamics is predicted at onset. A temporal period doubling route to spatiotemporal chaos, corresponding to a period doubling cascade towards a chaotic attractor in the normal form, is identified. Eckhaus stability boundaries for travelling waves are also determined. The methods developed in this paper provide a systematic investigation of nonlinear physical mechanisms generating the patterns observed experimentally, and can be generalized to any two-dimensional anisotropic systems with translational and reflectional symmetry.
