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.

一类非自治动力系统超次谐周期解的不存在性

在非线性动力系统的研究中， Melnikov函数被广泛地用来作为微扰哈密顿系统是否发生次谐或超次谐分岔乃至混沌的判 据. 但是在大多数情况下，经典的Melnikov方法往往只给出存在次谐周期解的结论. 产生 该结果的原因被归之为在经典的Melnikov方法中只采取了一阶近似，因而高阶Melnikov方 法被发展用来判断超次谐周期解的存在性. 本文对一类非自治微分动力系统进行了研究，证 明了在这样一类系统中如果存在周期解则只可能是次谐周期解，超次谐周期解不可能存在， 并进一步证明了在一类平面问题中所定义的旋转(R)型超次谐周期解同样不可能存在.作为 该结论的一个应用，文中考察了几个典型的算例，结果表明现有的二阶Melnikov方法判断 平面扰动系统是否存在超次谐周期解的结论是不恰当的，并提供了一个简单的几何上的解释.     

Analysis method of chaos and sub-harmonic resonance of nonlinear system without small parameters

The Melnikov method is important for detecting the presence of transverse homoclinic orbits and the occurrence of homoclinic bifurcations.Unfortunately,the traditional Melnikov methods strongly depend on small parameters,which do not exist in most practical systems.Those methods are limited in dealing with the systems with strong nonlinearities.This paper presents a procedure to study the chaos and sub-harmonic resonance of strongly nonlinear practical systems by employing a homotopy method that is used ...

Discrete Models of a Class of Isolation Systems

In this paper, a class of isolation systems with rigid limiters has been considered. For this class of systems, some general discrete-time models described by means of some impact Poincaré maps have been established. Two examples: a simple isolation system of one-stage and a real isolation system of two-stages have been investigated. The calculated results show that those models can reveal complex nonlinear behaviors. And even a small random perturbation may change the dynamical character of the system.     

Stability analysis for nonplanar free vibrations of a cantilever beam by using nonlinear normal modes

Stability analysis of nonplanar free vibrations of a cantilever beam is made by using the nonlinear normal mode concept. Assuming nonplanar motion of the beam, we introduce a nonlinear two-degree-of-freedom model by using Galerkin’s method based on the first mode in each direction. The system turns out to have two normal modes. Using Synge’s stability concept, we examine the stability of each mode. In order to check the validity of the stability criterion obtained analytically, we plot a Poincaré map of the motions neighboring on each mode obtained numerically. It is found that the maps agree with the stability criterion obtained analytically.     

有界噪声激励下Josephson系统的混沌运动

利用随机Melnikov方法分析了有界噪声激励下Josephson系统的运动,并运用均方准则得到了系统产生混沌的临界值。结果表明:有界噪声对系统混沌行为的产生起到了加速的作用;且有界噪声的强度越大,混沌吸引子的发散程度就越大。最后利用数值模拟得到系统的庞加莱映射,分析了在不同参数组合下系统庞加莱映射的特征。结果显示:当有界噪声中的一个参数发生改变,系统的庞加莱映射也会发生相应的改变;特别是有界噪声的激励强度增大时,系统庞加莱映射的发散程度也会随之增大。这从侧面验证了理论结果的正确性。     

Self-stability of a simple walking model driven by a rhythmic signal

In this paper, we analyzed the dynamic properties of a simple walking model of a biped robot driven by a rhythmic signal from an oscillator. The oscillator receives no sensory feedback and the rhythmic signal is an open loop. The simple model consists of a hip and two legs that are connected at the hip. The leg motion is generated by a rhythmic signal. In particular, we analytically examined the stability of a periodic walking motion. We obtained approximate periodic solutions and the Jacobian matrix of a Poincaré map by the power-series expansion using a small parameter. Although the analysis was inconclusive when we used only the first order expansion, by employing the second order expansion it clarified the stability, revealing that the periodic walking motion is asymptotically stable and the simple model possesses self-stability as an inherent dynamic characteristic in walking. We also clarified the stability region with respect to model parameters such as mass ratio and walking speed.     

Chaotic response of a large deflection beam and effect of the second order mode

This study intends to investigate the dynamic behavior of a nonlinear elastic beam of large deflection. Using the Galerkin principle, the dynamic nonlinear governing equations are derived based on the single and double mode methods. Two different kinds of nonlinear dynamic equations are obtained with the variation of the dimension and loading parameters. The chaotic critical conditions are given by Melnikov function method for the single mode model. The chaotic motion is investigated and the comparison between single and double mode models is carried out. The results show that the single mode method usually used may lead to incorrect conclusions in some conditions, and instead the double mode or higher order mode method should be used. Finally, the applicable condition of the single mode method is analyzed.     

The dynamic equations of motion for a two-component system

The motion of solid particles in a fluid flow is represented as a random process with independent increments. The resulting kinetic equation for the particle distribution has the form previously proposed [1]. The solution to this equation provides a system of equations for the hydrodynamics of the assembly of solid particles. These equations differ from ones previously proposed [2, 3] in having additional terms related to relative motion of the components, whose presence is due to anisotropy in the distribution of the normal stresses in the pseudogas.I am indebted to V. G. Levich for valuable discussions and for constant interest in the work.     

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.     

Nonlinear and chaotic oscillations of a constrained cantilevered pipe conveying fluid: A full nonlinear analysis

In this paper, the planar dynamics of a nonlinearly constrained pipe conveying fluid is examined numerically, by considering the full nonlinear equation of motions and a refined trilinear-spring model for the impact constraints—completing the circle of several studies on the subject. The effect of varying system parameters is investigated for the two-degree-of-freedom (N=2) model of the system, followed by less extensive similar investigations forN=3 and 4. Phase portraits, bifurcation diagrams, power spectra and Lyapunov exponents are presented for a selected set of system parameters, showing some rather interesting, and sometimes unexpected, results. The numerical results are compared with experimental ones obtained previously. It is found that in the parameter space that includesN, there exists a subspace wherein excellent qualitative, and reasonably good (N=2) to excellent (N=4) quantitative agreement with experiment. In the latter case, excellent agreement is not only obtained in the threshold flow velocities (u) for the key bifurcations, but the inclusion of the nonlinear terms improves agreement with experiment in terms of amplitudes of motion and by capturing features of behaviour not hitherto predicted by theory.     

A simple feedback control system: Bifurcations of periodic orbits and chaos

We consider a pendulum subjected to linear feedback control with periodic desired motions. The pendulum is assumed to be driven by a servo-motor with small time constant, so that the feedback control system can be approximated by a periodically forced oscillator. It was previously shown by Melnikov's method that transverse homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits exist and chaos may occur in certain parameter regions. Here we study local bifurcations of harmonics and subharmonics using the second-order averaging method and Melnikov's method. The Melnikov analysis was performed by numerically computing the Melnikov functions. Numerical simulations and experimental measurements are also given and are compared with the previous and present theoretical predictions. Sustained chaotic motions which result from homoclinic and heteroclinic tangles for not only single but also multiple hyperbolic periodic orbits are observed. Fairly good agreement is found between numerical simulation and experimental results.     

Global bifurcations and chaotic motions of a flexible multi-beam structure

Global bifurcations and multi-pulse chaotic motions of flexible multi-beam structures derived from an L-shaped beam resting on a vibrating base are investigated considering one to two internal resonance and principal resonance. Base on the exact modal functions and the orthogonality conditions of global modes, the PDEs of the structure including both nonlinear coupling and nonlinear inertia are discretized into a set of coupled autoparametric ODEs by using Galerkin’s technique. The method of multiple scales is applied to yield a set of autonomous equations of the first order approximations to the response of the dynamical system. A generalized Melnikov method is used to study global dynamics for the “resonance case”. The present analysis indicates multi-pulse chaotic motions result from the existence of Šilnikov’s type of homoclinic orbits and the critical parameter surface under which the system may exhibit chaos in the sense of Smale horseshoes are obtained. The global results are finally interpreted in terms of the physical motion of such flexible multi-beam structure and the dynamical mechanism on chaotic pattern conversion between the localized mode and the coupled mode are revealed.
