双同步混沌吸引子动力系统中的筛形域

解析证明耦合映射混沌同步系统中的两个同步混沌吸引子的吸引域是筛形域．在特定耦合参数区间中，解析证明这两个同步混沌吸引子的吸引域不仅被无穷远吸引子的吸引域筛形，还通过数值证明它们的吸引域彼此互相筛形，展示出类似于Wada性质的特征．但进一步的讨论表明这种复杂的被两个(或更多)吸引域共同筛形的结构并不是Wada域，而是由于筛形分岔和筛形域局部—全局分岔导致的．     

Duffing-van der Pol系统的随机分岔

应用广义胞映射图论方法(GCMD)研究了在谐和激励与随机噪声共同作用下的Duffing-van der Pol系统的随机分岔现象. 系统参数选择在多个吸引子与混沌鞍共存的范围内. 研究发现, 随着随机激励强度的增大,该系统存在两种分岔现象: 一种为随机吸引子与吸引域边界上的鞍碰撞, 此时随机吸引子突然消失; 另一种为随机吸引子与吸引域内部的鞍碰撞, 此时随机吸引子突然增大. 研究证实, 当随机激励强度达到某一临界值时, 该系统还会发生D-分岔(基于Lyapunov指数符号的改变而定义), 此类分岔点不同于上述基于系统拓扑性质改变所得的分岔点.     

Chaotic Saddles in Wada Basin Boundaries and Their Bifurcations by the Generalized Cell-Mapping Digraph (GCMD) Method

By means of the generalized cell-mapping digraph (GCMD) method, we studybifurcations governing the escape of periodically forced oscillatorsfrom a potential well, in which a chaotic saddle plays an extremelyimportant role. In this paper, we find the chaotic saddle anddemonstrate that it is embedded in a strange fractalbasin boundary which has the Wada property that any point that is on theboundary of that basin is also simultaneously on the boundary of atleast two other basins. The chaotic saddle in the Wada basin boundary,by colliding with a chaotic attractor, leads to a chaotic boundarycrisis with indeterminate outcome. A local saddle-node fold bifurcation,if the saddle of the saddle-node fold is located in tangency with thechaotic saddle in the Wada basin boundary, also results in a strangeglobal phenomenon, namely that the local saddle-node fold bifurcation hasglobally indeterminate outcome. We also investigate the origin andevolution of the chaotic saddle in the Wada basin boundary, particularlyconcentrating on its discontinuous bifurcations (metamorphoses). Wedemonstrate that the chaotic saddle in the Wada basin boundary iscreated by a collision between two chaotic saddles in differentfractal basin boundaries. After a final escape bifurcation, there onlyexists the attractor at infinity and a chaotic saddle with a beautifulpattern is left behind in the phase space.     

Properties of Chaotic and Regular Boundary Crisis in Dissipative Driven Nonlinear Oscillators

The phenomenon of the chaotic boundary crisis and the related concept of the chaotic destroyer saddle has become recently a new problem in the studies of the destruction of chaotic attractors in nonlinear oscillators. As it is known, in the case of regular boundary crisis, the homoclinic bifurcation of the destroyer saddle defines the parameters of the annihilation of the chaotic attractor. In contrast, at the chaotic boundary crisis, the outset of the destroyer saddle which branches away from the chaotic attractor is tangled prior to the crisis. In our paper, the main point of interest is the problem of a relation, if any, between the homoclinic tangling of the destroyer saddle and the other properties of the system which may accompany the chaotic as well as the regular boundary crisis. In particular, the question if the phenomena of fractal basin boundary, indeterminate outcome, and a period of the destroyer saddle, are directly implied by the structure of the destroyer saddle invariant manifolds, is examined for some examples of the boundary crisis that occur in the mathematical models of the twin-well and the single-well potential nonlinear oscillators.     

Nonlinear oscillations and chaotic motions in a road vehicle system with driver steering control

The nonlinear dynamics of a differential system describing the motion of a vehicle driven by a pilot is examined. In a first step, the stability of the system near the critical speed is analyzed by the bifurcation method in order to characterize its behavior after a loss of stability. It is shown that a Hopf bifurcation takes place, the stability of limit cycles depending mainly on the vehicle and pilot model parameters. In a second step, the front wheels of the vehicle are assumed to be subjected to a periodic disturbance. Chaotic and hyperchaotic motions are found to occur for some range of the speed parameter. Numerical simulations, such as bifurcation diagrams, Poincaré maps, Fourier spectrums, projection of trajectories, and Lyapunov exponents are used to establish the existence of chaotic attractors. Multiple attractors may coexist for some values of the speed, and basins of attraction for such attractors are shown to have fractal geometries.

Fractal basin boundaries in a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system

The final state for nonlinear systems with multiple attractors may become unpredictable as a result of homoclinic or heteroclinic bifurcations. The fractal basin boundaries due to such bifurcations for a four-well, two-degree-of-freedom, nonlinear oscillator under sinusoidal forcing have been studied, based on a theory of homoclinic bifurcation inn-dimensional vector space developed by Palmer. Numerical simulation is used as a means of demonstrating the consequences of the system dynamics when the bifurcations occur, and it is shown that the basin boundaries in the configuration space (x, y) become fractal near the critical value of the heteroclinic bifurcations.     

A stochastic interrogation method for experimental measurements of global dynamics and basin evolution: Application to a two-well oscillator

An experimental study of local and global bifurcations in a driven two-well magneto-mechanical oscillator is presented. A detailed picture of the local bifurcation structure of the system is obtained using an automated bifurcation data acquisition system. Basins of attractions for the system are obtained using a new experimental technique: an ensemble of initial conditions is generated by switching between stochastic and deterministic excitation. Using this stochastic interrogation method, we observe the evolution of basins of attraction in the nonlinear oscillator as the forcing amplitude is increased, and find evidence for homoclinic bifurcation before the onset of chaos. Since the entire transient is collected for each initial condition, the same data can be used to obtain pictures of the flow of points in phase space. Using Liouville's Theorem, we obtain damping estimates by calculating the contraction of volumes under the action of the Poincaré map, and show that they are in good agreement with the results of more conventional damping estimation methods. Finally, the stochastic interrogation data is used to estimate transition probability matrices for finite partitions of the Poincaré section. Using these matrices, the evolution of probability densities can be studied.

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.     

A structural shape optimization system using the two-dimensional boundary contour method

Summary The research recently conducted has demonstrated that the Boundary Contour Method (BCM) is very competitive with the Boundary Element Method (BEM) in linear elasticity Design Sensitivity Analysis (DSA). Design Sensitivity Coefficients (DSCs), required by numerical optimization methods, can be efficiently and accurately obtained by two different approaches using the two-dimensional (2-D) BCM as presented in Refs. [1] and [2]. These approaches originate from the Boundary Integral Equation (BIE). As discussed in [2], the DSCs given by both BIE-based DSA approaches are identical, and thus the users can choose either of them in their applications. In order to show the advantages of this class of DSA in structural shape optimization, an efficient system is developed in which the BCM as well as a BIE-based DSA approach are coupled with a mathematical programming algorithm to solve optimal shape design problems. Numerical examples are presented. Received 20 July 1998; accepted for publication 7 December 1998
