The necessary condition for the appearance of chaos in two classes of forced vibration system with both square and cubic nonlinear terms

Two classes of forced vibration system with both square and cubic nonlinear terms are treated as Hamiltonian integrable systems under small perturbation. The Melnikov's functions are given. Thus the necessary condition for induction of chaos in the systems is obtained.     

Quasi-Periodic Oscillations,Chaos and Suppression of Chaos in a Nonlinear Oscillator Driven by Parametric and External Excitations

An analysis is given of the dynamic of a one-degree-of-freedom oscillator with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities subjected to parametric and external excitations having incommensurate frequencies. A new method is given for constructing an asymptotic expansion of the quasi-periodic solutions. The generalized averaging method is first applied to reduce the original quasi-periodically driven system to a periodically driven one. This method can be viewed as an adaptation to quasi-periodic systems of the technique developed by Bogolioubov and Mitropolsky for periodically driven ones. To approximate the periodic solutions of the reduced periodically driven system, corresponding to the quasi-periodic solution of the original one, multiple-scale perturbation is applied in a second step. These periodic solutions are obtained by determining the steady-state response of the resulting autonomous amplitude-phase differential system. To study the onset of the chaotic dynamic of the original system, the Melnikov method is applied to the reduced periodically driven one. We also investigate the possibility of achieving a suitable system for the control of chaos by introducing a third harmonic parametric component into the cubic term of the system.     

Periodic and Homoclinic Motions in Forced,Coupled Oscillators

We study periodic and homoclinic motions in periodically forced, weakly coupled oscillators with a form of perturbations of two independent planar Hamiltonian systems. First, we extend the subharmonic Melnikov method, and give existence, stability and bifurcation theorems for periodic orbits. Second, we directly apply or modify a version of the homoclinic Melnikov method for orbits homoclinic to two types of periodic orbits. The first type of periodic orbit results from persistence of the unperturbed hyperbolic periodic orbit, and the second type is born out of resonances in the unperturbed invariant manifolds. So we see that some different types of homoclinic motions occur. The relationship between the subharmonic and homoclinic Melnikov theories is also discussed. We apply these theories to the weakly coupled Duffing oscillators.     

Low-dimensional chaotic response of axially accelerating continuum in the supercritical regime

Summary Nonlinear dynamics of one-mode approximation of an axially moving continuum such as a moving magnetic tape is studied. The system is modeled as a beam moving with varying speed, and the transverse vibration of the beam is considered. The cubic stiffness term, arising out of finite stretching of the neutral axis during vibration, is included in the analysis while deriving the equations of motion by Hamilton's principle. One-mode approximation of the governing equation is obtained by the Galerkin's method, as the objective in this work is to examine the low-dimensional chaotic response. The velocity of the beam is assumed to have sinusoidal fluctuations superposed on a mean value. This approximation leads to a parametrically excited Duffing's oscillator. It exhibits a symmetric pitchfork bifurcation as the axial velocity of the beam is varied beyond a critical value. In the supercritical regime, the system is described by a parametrically excited double-well potential oscillator. It is shown by numerical simulation that the oscillator has both period-doubling and intermittent routes to chaos. Melnikov's criterion is employed to find out the parameter regime in which chaos occurs. Further, it is shown that in the linear case, when the operating speed is supercritical, the oscillator considered is isomorphic to the case of an inverted pendulum with an oscillating support. It is also shown that supercritical motion can be stabilised by imposing a suitable velocity variation. Received 13 February 1997; accepted for publication 29 July 1997     

The Effect of the Elastic Compliance of Actuator Components on the Dynamics of a Robot

Kinematic and dynamic control problems for a pedestal-mounted robot with a multilink arm are formulated. The robot is considered a system of perfectly rigid bodies controlled by a combined actuating system. The mathematical model of robot dynamics accounts for the elastic properties of actuator components based on the formalism of Lagrange equations of the second kind. The effect of the elastic compliance of the actuator components on the dynamics of manipulator links and actuator motors is discussed. A robot with a two-link arm is considered as an example

Weak Turbulence and Chaos for Low Prandtl Number Gravity Driven Convection in Porous Media

Low Prandtl number convection in porous media is relevant to modern applications of transport phenomena in porous media such as the process of solidification of binary alloys. The transition from steady convection to chaos is analysed by using Adomian's decomposition method to obtain an analytical solution in terms of infinite power series. The practical need to evaluate the solution and obtain numerical values from the infinite power series, the consequent series truncation, and the practical procedure to accomplish this task, transform the analytical results into a computational solution evaluated up to a finite accuracy. The solution shows a transition from steady convection to chaos via a Hopf bifurcation producing a 'solitary limit cycle which may be associated with an homoclinic explosion. This occurs at a slightly subcritical value of Rayleigh number, the critical value being associated with the loss of linear stability of the steady convection solution. Periodic windows within the broad band of parameter regime where the chaotic solution persists are identified and analysed. It is evident that the further transition from chaos to a high Rayleigh number periodic convection occurs via a period halving sequence of bifurcations.     

On Controlling Chaos in Cournot-Games with Two and Three Competitors

Controlling chaotic economic systems is an important problem. The Ott, Grebogi and Yorke (1990) method is a way to control chaos gradually. However, in order to apply this method the control parameter has to be close to a prescribed value. To achieve this, the targeting method of Shinbrot Ott, Grebogi and Yorke can be applied first to speed up convergence. In this paper the Ott et al method is modified so that the system is guided gradually out of the chaotic region and in the stability zone. The control parameter does not have to be in a prescribed region. The method is applied to the Puu formulation of Cournot dynamic duopoly and oligopoly models.

Chaos in a pendulum with feedback control

We study chaotic dynamics of a pendulum subjected to linear feedback control with periodic desired motions. The pendulum is assumed to be driven by a servo-motor with small inductance, so that the feedback control system reduces to a periodic perturbation of a planar Hamiltonian system. This Hamiltonian system can possess multiple saddle points with non-transverse homoclinic and/or heteroclinic orbits. Using Melnikov's method, we obtain criteria for the existence of chaos in the pendulum motion. The computation of the Melnikov functions is performed by a numerical method. Several numerical examples are given and the theoretical predictions are compared with numerical simulation results for the behavior of invariant manifolds.

Controlling robot manipulators by dynamic programming

A certain number of considerations should be taken into account in the dynamic control of robot manipulators as highly complex non-linear systems. In this article, we provide a detailed presentation of the mechanical and electrical implications of robots equipped with DC motor actuators. This model takes into account all non-linear aspects of the system. Then, we develop computational algorithms for optimal control based on dynamic programming. The robot's trajectory must be predefined, but performance criteria and constraints applying to the system are not limited and we may adapt them freely to the robot and the task being studied. As an example, a manipulator arm with 3 degress of freedom is analyzed.

Chaotic attitude motion of a magnetic rigid spacecraft in an elliptic orbit and its control

This paper deals with the chaotic attitude motion of a magnetic rigid spacecraft with internal damping in an elliptic orbit. The dynamical model of the spacecraft is established. The Melnikov analysis is carried out to prove the existence of a complicated nonwandering Cantor set. The dynamical behaviors are numerically investigated by means of time history, Poincaré map, Lyapunov exponents and power spectrum. Numerical simulations demonstrate the chaotic motion of the system. The input-output feedback linearization method and its modified version are applied, respectively, to control the chaotic attitude motions to the given fixed point or periodic motion.

Shape optimisation of an oscillating body in fluid flow by adjoint equation and ALE finite element methods

The purpose of this paper is to determine the shape of an oscillating body by minimising drag and lift forces, located in a transient incompressible viscous fluid flow by means of the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian finite element method and an optimal control theory. A performance function is expressed by the drag and lift forces. The performance function should be minimised satisfying the state equation and the constant volume condition. Therefore, this problem can be transformed into a minimisation problem without constraint by the Lagrange multiplier method. The adjoint equation and the gradient of the performance function are used to update the shape of the body. In this study, as a minimisation technique, the weighted gradient method is applied. The final shape is obtained of which drag and lift forces are reduced by 66.2% and 92.8%, respectively. The final shape obtained by this study is compared with the final shape of the non-oscillating body. The obtained final shape of the oscillating body is significantly different from the non-oscillating body.     

Dynamic overshooting in 2D periodic materials with square voids caused by sudden flaw appearance

The dynamic response caused by the sudden appearance of a flaw in materials in which square voids are distributed in a doubly periodic manner is investigated. A broad range of relative densities corresponding to cellular materials as well as to almost solid ones is considered. In the former case the materials are characterized by either bending or stretch dominated behavior, and different layouts corresponding to both these cases are examined. The flaw models a break of an intervoid ligament in a material which is subjected to a far-field tensile loading. Both cases of a first flaw in undamaged material as well as the case of a new flaw appearance in an already damaged material are addressed.     

Sound Radiated in a Cavity by a Vibrating Plate: Comparison between the Results of a Finite Element Method (FEMAK) and a Boundary Element Method (NoVAlea2D)

The coupling between a cavity and a vibrating plate is written as a strong coupling where both the continuity of stresses and particle velocities at the interface are taken into account. A FEM analysis reveals an important coupling between the first mode of the plate and the cavity. The pressure distribution in the cavity shows a strong quarter of a wave length pattern indicating the influence of the first Dirichlet mode in the cavity. The vibrating plate is then excited by a turbulent flow modelled by its spectral density using the Corcos model. A comparison is made between the results obtained from a FEM and a BEM formulation. Good agreements are observed concerning the plate displacements. The comparison of the cavity sound pressure levels is less good.
