The global analysis of higher order nonlinear dynamical systems and the application of cell-to-cell mapping method

In this paper, the general characteristics and the topological consideration of the global behaviors of higher order nonlinear dynamical systems and the characteristics of the application of cell-to-cell mapping method in this analysis are expounded. Specifically, the global analysis of a system of two weakly coupled van der Pol oscillators using cell-to-cell mapping method is presented.The analysis shows that for this system, there exist two stable limit cycles in 4-dimensional state space, and the whole 4-dimensional state space is divided into two almost equal parts which are, respectively, the two asymototically stable domains of attraction of the two periodic motions of the two stable limit cycles. The validities of these conclusions about the global behaviors are also verified by direct long term numerical integration. Thus, it can be seen that the cell-to-cell mapping method for global analysis of fourth order nonlinear dynamical systems is quite effective.     

Hyperchaotic memristive system with hidden attractors and its adaptive control scheme

In this research work a novel 4-D memristive system is presented. The proposed system belongs to the category of dynamical systems with hidden attractors as it displays a line of equilibrium points. Also, it has an hyperchaotic dynamical behavior in a particular range of its parameters space. System’s behavior is investigated through numerical simulations, by using well-known tools of nonlinear theory, such as phase portrait, bifurcation diagram, Lyapunov exponents and Poincaré map. Next, the case of chaos control of the system with unknown parameters using adaptive control method is investigated. Finally, an electronic circuit realization of the novel hyperchaotic system using Spice is presented in detail to confirm the feasibility of the theoretical model.     

Introduction to Nonlinear Dynamics of Electronic Systems: Tutorial

The study of chaos has generated enormous interest in exploring the complexity of the behavior in nature and in technology. Many of the important features of chaotic dynamical systems can be seen using experimental and computational methods in simple nonlinear mechanical systems or electronic circuits. Starting with the study of a chaotic nonlinear mechanical system (driven damped pendulum) or a nonlinear electronic system (circuit Chua) we introduce the reader into the concepts of chaos order in Sharkovsky's sense, and topological invariants (topological entropy and topological frequencies). The Kirchhoff's circuit laws are a pair of laws that deal with the conservation of charge and energy in electric circuits, and the algebraic theory of graphs characterizes these linear systems in terms of cycles and cocycles (or cuts). Here we discuss methods (topological semiconjugacy to piecewise linear maps and Markov graphs) to find a similar situation for the nonlinear dynamics, to understanding chaotic dynamics. Thus to chaotic dynamics we associate a Markov graph, where the dynamical and topological invariants will be seen as graph theoretical quantities.     

A Perturbation Method for Nonlinear Two-Dimensional Maps

A new perturbation method for a weakly nonlinear two-dimensional discrete-time dynamical system is presented. The proposed technique generalizes the asymptotic perturbation method that is valid for continuous-time systems and detects periodic or almost-periodic orbits and their stability. Two equations for the amplitude and the phase of solutions are derived and their fixed points correspond to limit cycles for the starting nonlinear map. The method is applied to various nonlinear (autonomous or not) two-dimensional maps. For the autonomous maps we derive the conditions for the appearance of a supercritical Hopf bifurcation and predict the characteristics of the corresponding limit cycle. For the nonautonomous maps we show amplitude-response and frequency-response curves. Under appropriate conditions, we demonstrate the occurrence of saddle-node bifurcations of cycles and of jumps and hysteresis effects in the system response (cusp catastrophe). Modulated motion can be observed for very low values of the external excitation and an infinite-period bifurcation occurs if the external excitation increases. Analytic approximate solutions are in good agreement with numerically obtained solutions.

Perturbation methods for nonlinear autonomous discrete-time dynamical systems

Two perturbation methods for nonlinear autonomous discrete-time dynamical systems are presented. They generalize the classical Lindstedt-Poincaré and multiple scale perturbation methods that are valid for continuous-time systems. The Lindstedt-Poincaré method allows determination of the periodic or almost-periodic orbits of the nonlinear system (limit cycles), while the multiple scale method also permits analysis of the transient state and the stability of the limit cycles. An application to the discrete Van der Pol equation is also presented, for which the asymptotic solution is shown to be in excellent agreement with the exact (numerical) solution. It is demonstrated that, when the sampling step tends to zero the asymptotic transient and steady-state discrete-time solutions correctly tend to the asymptotic continuous-time solutions.     

Nonlinear Dynamics and Stability of a Machine Tool Traveling Joint

In this work, we investigate the nonlinear dynamics and stability of a machine tool traveling joint. The dynamical system considered includes contacting elements of a lathe joint and the cutting process where the onset of instability is governed by mode coupling. The equilibrium equations of the dynamical system yield a unique fixed point that can change its stability via a Hopf bifurcation. The unstable domain is primarily governed by the cutting tool location, the contact stiffness of the joint and the depth of material to be removed. Self excited vibrations due to a mode coupling instability evolve around the unstable fixed point and one or more limit cycles may coexist in the statically unstable domain. Stability and accuracy of the approximate analytical solutions are analyzed by applying Floquet analysis. Perturbation of the dynamical system with weak periodic excitation results with periodic and aperiodic solutions.     

Absorbing Balls for Equations Modeling Nonuniform Deformable Bodies with Heavy Rigid Attachments

We study degenerate nonlinear partial differential equations with dynamical boundary conditions describing the forced motions of nonuniform deformable bodies with heavy rigid attachments. We prove that the dynamical system generated by a discretization of these equations has an absorbing ball whose size is independent of the order of the discretization. This result implies the existence of an absorbing ball for the infinite-dimensional dynamical system corresponding to the original degenerate partial differential equation and thereby serves as a critical step for establishing the existence of global attractors for this system. Our results also address the interesting mechanical question of how nonuniformity complicates the longterm dynamics of the coupled systems we consider.     

Adaptive explicit Magnus numerical method for nonlinear dynamical systems

Based on the new explicit Magnus expansion developed for nonlinear equations defined on a matrix Lie group, an efficient numerical method is proposed for nonlinear dynamical systems. To improve computational efficiency, the integration step size can be adaptively controlled. Validity and effectiveness of the method are shown by application to several nonlinear dynamical systems including the Duffing system, the van der Pol system with strong stiffness, and the nonlinear Hamiltonian pendulum system.     

Random attractors

In this paper, we generalize the notion of an attractor for the stochastic dynamical system introduced in [7]. We prove that the stochastic attractor satisfies most of the properties satisfied by the usual attractor in the theory of deterministic dynamical systems. We also show that our results apply to the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation, the white noise-driven Burgers equation, and a nonlinear stochastic wave equation.     

Nonlinear dynamical systems and bistability in linearly forced isotropic turbulence

In this paper, we present an extensive study of the linearly forced isotropic turbulence. By using analytical method, we identify two parametric choices, of which they seem to be new as far as our knowledge goes. We prove that the underlying nonlinear dynamical system for linearly forced isotropic turbulence is the general case of a cubic Lienard equation with linear damping. We also discuss a FokkerPlanck approach to this new dynamical system, which is bistable and exhibits two asymmetric and asymptotically stable stationary probability densities.     

Hopf bifurcation control for stochastic dynamical system with nonlinear random feedback method

Hopf bifurcation control in nonlinear stochastic dynamical system with nonlinear random feedback method is studied in this paper. Firstly, orthogonal polynomial approximation is applied to reduce the controlled stochastic nonlinear dynamical system with nonlinear random controller to the deterministic equivalent system, solvable by suitable numerical methods. Then, Hopf bifurcation control with nonlinear random feedback controller is discussed in detail. Numerical simulations show that the method provided in this paper is not only available to control the stochastic Hopf bifurcation in nonlinear stochastic dynamical system, but is also superior to the deterministic nonlinear feedback controller.     

Internal motion of the complex oscillators near main resonance

An analytical study of the two degrees of freedom nonlinear dynamical system is presented. The internal motion of the system is separated and described by one fourth order differential equation. An approximate approach allows reducing the problem to the Duffing equation with adequate initial conditions. A novel idea for an effective study of nonlinear dynamical systems consisting in a concept of the socalled limiting phase trajectories is applied. Both qualitative and quantitative complex analyses have been performed. Important nonlinear dynamical transition type phenomena are detected and discussed. In particular, nonsteady forced system vibrations are investigated analytically.

An experimental digital communication scheme based on chaotic time-delay system

We develop an experimental system for secure communication with nonlinear mixing of information signal and chaotic signal of a time-delay system. The proposed scheme is based on programmable microcontrollers with digital transmission line. The scheme allows one to transmit and receive speech and musical signals in real time without noticeable distortion. A high quality of extraction of hidden information signal is achieved due to the use of digital elements in the scheme, which ensures identity of the parameters and high stability to noise. We study a possibility of hidden message extraction from a chaotic carrier by a third party in the case of mismatch of the receiver and transmitter parameters.

A new perturbation procedure for limit cycle analysis in three-dimensional nonlinear autonomous dynamical systems

By introducing a new parametric transformation and a suitable nonlinear frequency expansion, the modified Lindstedt–Poincaré method is extended to derive analytical approximations for limit cycles in three-dimensional nonlinear autonomous dynamical systems. By considering two typical examples, it can be seen that the results of the present method are in good agreement with those obtained numerically even if the control parameter is moderately large. Moreover, the present prediction is considerably more accurate than some published results obtained by the multiple time scales method and the normal form method.     

Dynamical behaviors of nonlinear viscoelastic thick plates with damage

Based on the deformation hypothesis of Timoshenko's plates and the Boltzmann's superposition principles for linear viscoelastic materials, the nonlinear equations governing the dynamical behavior of Timoshenko's viscoelastic thick plates with damage are presented. The Galerkin method is applied to simplify the set of equations. The numerical methods in nonlinear dynamics are used to solve the simplified systems. It could be seen that there are plenty of dynamical properties for dynamical systems formed by this kind of viscoelastic thick plate with damage under a transverse harmonic load. The influences of load, geometry and material parameters on the dynamical behavior of the nonlinear system are investigated in detail. At the same time, the effect of damage on the dynamical behavior of plate is also discussed.     

A time-domain nonlinear system identification method based on multiscale dynamic partitions

Based on a theoretical foundation for empirical mode decomposition, which dictates the correspondence between the analytical and empirical slow-flow analyses, we develop a time-domain nonlinear system identification (NSI) technique. This NSI method is based on multiscale dynamic partitions and direct analysis of measured time series, and makes no presumptions regarding the type and strength of the system nonlinearity. Hence, the method is expected to be applicable to broad classes of applications involving time-variant/time-invariant, linear/nonlinear, and smooth/non-smooth dynamical systems. The method leads to nonparametric reduced order models of simple form; i.e., in the form of coupled or uncoupled oscillators with time-varying or time-invariant coefficients forced by nonhomogeneous terms representing nonlinear modal interactions. Key to our method is a slow/fast partition of transient dynamics which leads to the identification of the basic fast frequencies of the dynamics, and the subsequent development of slow-flow models governing the essential dynamics of the system. We provide examples of application of the NSI method by analyzing strongly nonlinear modal interactions in two dynamical systems with essentially nonlinear attachments.
