Design and analysis of a first order time-delayed chaotic system

The present paper reports the design and analysis of a new time-delayed chaotic system and its electronic circuit implementation. The system is described by a first-order nonlinear retarded type delay differential equation with a closed form mathematical function describing the nonlinearity. We carry out stability and bifurcation analysis to show that with the suitable delay and system parameters the system shows sustained oscillation through supercritical Hopf bifurcation. It is shown through numerical simulations that the system depicts bifurcation and chaos for a certain range of the system parameters. The complexity and predictability of the system are characterized by Lyapunov exponents and Kaplan?CYork dimension. It is shown that, for some suitably chosen system parameters, the system shows hyperchaos even for a small or moderate delay. Finally, we set up an experiment to implement the proposed system in electronic circuit using off-the-shelf circuit elements, and it is shown that the behavior of the time delay chaotic electronic circuit agrees well with our analytical and numerical results.     

Difference map and its electronic circuit realization

In this paper we study the dynamical behavior of the one-dimensional discrete-time system, the so-called iterated map. Namely, a bimodal quadratic map is introduced which is obtained as an amplification of the difference between well-known logistic and tent maps. Thus, it is denoted as the so-called difference map. The difference map exhibits a variety of behaviors according to the selection of the bifurcation parameter. The corresponding bifurcations are studied by numerical simulations and experimentally. The stability of the difference map is studied by means of Lyapunov exponent and is proved to be chaotic according to Devaney’s definition of chaos. Later on, a design of the electronic implementation of the difference map is presented. The difference map electronic circuit is built using operational amplifiers, resistors and an analog multiplier. It turns out that this electronic circuit presents fixed points, periodicity, chaos and intermittency that match with high accuracy to the corresponding values predicted theoretically.

Stochastic jump and bifurcation of Duffing oscillator with fractional derivative damping under combined harmonic and white noise excitations

The stochastic jump and bifurcation of Duffing oscillator with fractional derivative damping of order α (0<α<1) under combined harmonic and white noise excitations are studied. First, the system state is approximately represented by two-dimensional time-homogeneous diffusive Markov process of amplitude and phase difference using the stochastic averaging method. Then, the method of reduced Fokker–Plank–Kolmogorov (FPK) equation is used to predict the stationary response of the original system. The phenomenon of stochastic jump and bifurcation as the fractional orders' change is examined.     

Analog circuit design and optimal synchronization of a modified Rayleigh system

This paper addresses the problem of optimization of the synchronization of a chaotic modified Rayleigh system. We first introduce a four-dimensional autonomous chaotic system which is obtained by the modification of a two-dimensional Rayleigh system. Some basic dynamical properties and behaviors of this system are investigated. An appropriate electronic circuit (analog simulator) is proposed for the investigation of the dynamical behavior of the proposed system. Correspondences are established between the coefficients of the system model and the components of the electronic circuit. Furthermore, we propose an optimal robust adaptive feedback which accomplishes the synchronization of two modified Rayleigh systems using the controllability functions method. The advantage of the proposed scheme is that it takes into account the energy wasted by feedback coupling and the closed loop performance on synchronization. Also, a finite horizon is explicitly computed such that the chaos synchronization is achieved at an established time. Numerical simulations are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization strategy. Pspice analog circuit implementation of the complete master–slave controller system is also presented to show the feasibility of the proposed scheme.     

Analog circuit implementation and synchronization of a system consisting of a van der Pol oscillator linearly coupled to a Duffing oscillator

This paper deals with the analog circuit implementation and synchronization of a model consisting of a van der Pol oscillator coupled to a Duffing oscillator. The coupling between the two oscillators is set in a symmetrical way that linearly depends on the difference of the systems solutions (i.e., elastic coupling). The primary motivation of our investigations lays in the fact that coupled attractors of different types might serve as a good model for real systems in nature (e.g., electromechanical, physical, biological, or economic systems). The stability of fixed points is examined. The bifurcation structures of the system are analyzed with particular emphasis on the effects of nonlinearity. An appropriate electronic circuit (analog simulator) is proposed for the investigation of the dynamical behavior of the system. Correspondences are established between the coefficients of the system model and the components of the electronic circuit. A comparison of experimental and numerical results shows a very good agreement. By exploiting recent results on adaptive control theory, a controller is designed that enables both synchronization of two unidirectionally coupled systems and the estimation of unknown parameters of the drive system.     

Nonlinear vibration energy harvesting with adjustable stiffness,damping and inertia

A novel nonlinear structure with adjustable stiffness, damping and inertia is proposed and studied for vibration energy harvesting. The system consists of an adjustable-inertia system and X-shaped supporting structures. The novelty of the adjustable-inertia design is to enhance the mode coupling property between two orthogonal motion directions, i.e., the translational and rotational directions, which is very helpful for the improvement of the vibration energy harvesting performance. Weakly nonlinear stiffness and damping characteristics can be introduced by the X-shaped supporting structures. Combining the mode coupling effect above and the nonlinear stiffness and damping characteristics of the X-shaped structures, the vibration energy harvesting performance can be significantly enhanced, in both the low frequency range and broadband spectrum. The proposed 2-DOF nonlinear vibration energy harvesting structure can outperform the corresponding 2-DOF linear system and the existing nonlinear harvesting systems. The results in this study provide a novel and effective method for passive structure design of vibration energy harvesting systems to improve efficiency in the low frequency range.     

On vibration mitigation and energy harvesting of a non-ideal system with autoparametric vibration absorber system

This paper demonstrates that vibration mitigation and energy harvesting can be achieved simultaneously by using of an electricity-generating from autoparametric vibration absorber system (AVAS) and non-ideal system (NIS). The NIS consists of a simple portal frame excited by a small dc motor with eccentric mass, with limited power supply and located on the top. The AVAS consists of a cantilever beam with tip mass parallel coupled to NIS. A piezoelectric material is considered for energy harvesting installed in the base of the AVAS and an electric circuit is connected to the piezoelectric material in order to produce voltage output. Several numerical simulations were carried out focusing on the passage through the resonance of NIS, when the motor rotational frequency is near the portal frame natural frequency and when the non-ideal subsystem frequency is approximately twice the absorber beam frequency (two-to-one internal resonance). The results showed the existence of Sommerfeld effect in NIS and saturation phenomenon in the NIS–AVAS.

COUPLED ANALYSIS FOR THE HARVESTING STRUCTURE AND THE MODULATING CIRCUIT IN A PIEZOELECTRIC BIMORPH ENERGY HARVESTER

The authors analyze a piezoelectric energy harvester as an electro-mechanically coupled system. The energy harvester consists of a piezoelectric bimorph with a concentrated mass attached at one end, called the harvesting structure, an electric circuit for energy storage, and a rectifier that converts the AC output of the harvesting structure into a DC input for the storage circuit. The piezoelectric bimorph is assumed to be driven into flexural vibration by an ambient acoustic source to convert the mechanical energies into electric energies. The analysis indicates that the performance of this harvester, measured by the power density, is characterized by three important non-dimensional parameters, i.e., the non-dimensional inductance of the storage circuit, the non-dimensional aspect ratio （length/thickness） and the non-dimensional end mass of the harvesting structure. The numerical results show that： （1） the power density can be optimized by varying the non-dimensional inductance for each fixed non-dimensional aspect ratio with a fixed non-dimensional end mass; and （2） for a fixed non-dimensional inductance, the power density is maximized if the non-dimensional aspect ratio and the non-dimensional end mass are so chosen that the harvesting structure, consisting of both the piezoelectric bimorph and the end mass attached, resonates at the frequency of the ambient acoustic source.     

Non-lane-discipline-based car-following model incorporating the electronic throttle dynamics under connected environment

We investigate the nonlinear dynamics of a system of generalized Duffing-type MEMS resonator in the frame of simple analog electronic circuit. A mathematical model formed for the proposed generalized Duffing-type MEMS oscillator in which nonlinearities arising out of two different sources such as mid-plane stretching and electrostatic force can lead to variety of nonlinear phenomena such as period-doubling route, transient chaos and homo-/heteroclinic oscillations. These phenomena were confirmed through detailed numerical investigations such as phase portraits, bifurcation diagram, Poincaré map, Lyapunov exponent spectrum and finite-time Lyapunov exponent. The analog circuit realization for the Duffing-type MEMS resonator is constructed. The numerically simulated results are confirmed in the laboratory experimental observations which are closely matched with each other. The experimentally observed chaotic attractor confirmed through FFT spectrum, 0–1 test and Poincaré cross section. In addition, the robustness of the signal strength is confirmed through signal-to-noise ratio.     

Performance improvement of the stochastic-resonance-based tri-stable energy harvester under random rotational vibration

In this paper, the stochastic-resonance-based tri-stable energy harvester (TEH) is proposed to enhance harvesting performance under random rotational vibration. An electromechanical coupled system interfaced with a standard rectifier circuit driven by colored noise is considered. The stationary probability density function (SPDF) of the harvester is obtained by the improved stochastic averaging. Then, with the adiabatic approximation theory, the analytical expression of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the TEH is deduced to characterize stochastic resonance (SR). To enhance direct current (DC) power delivery from a rotational TEH, the influences of system parameters on SR is discussed. The obtained results suggest that there are damping-induced resonance and noise-intensity-induced SR in the tri-stable system. The TEH has higher harvesting performance under the optimal SR. That is, the optimal parameter combinations can induce optimal SR and maximize harvesting performance. Thus, the stochastic-resonance-based TEH can be optimized to enhance energy harvesting through choosing the optimal parameter.

Quasi-static transient and mixed mode oscillations induced by fractional derivatives effect on the slow flow near folded singularity

This paper aims at offering an insight into the dynamical behaviors of incommensurate fractional-order singularly perturbed van der Pol oscillators subjected to constant forcing, especially when the forcing is close to Andronov–Hopf bifurcation points. These bifurcation points are predicted thanks to the theorem on stability of incommensurate fractional-order systems, as functions of the forcing and fractional derivative orders. When the forcing is chosen near Andronov–Hopf bifurcation, the dynamics of fractional-order systems show a static-looking transient regime whose length increases exponentially with the closeness to the bifurcation point. This peculiar phenomenon is not common in numerical simulation of dynamical systems. We show that this quasi-static transient behavior is due to the combine action of the slow passage effect at folded saddle-node singularity and fractional derivation memory effect on the slow flow around this singularity; this forces the system to remain for a long time in the vicinity of its equilibrium point, though unstable. The system frees oneself from this quasi-static transient state by spiraling before entering relaxation oscillation. Such a situation results in mixed mode oscillations in the oscillatory regime. One obtains mixed mode oscillations from a very simple system: A two-variable system subjected to constant forcing.     

Dynamic instabilities in coupled oscillators induced by geometrically nonlinear damping

The dynamics of a system of coupled oscillators possessing strongly nonlinear stiffness and damping is examined. The system consists of a linear oscillator coupled to a strongly nonlinear, light attachment, where the nonlinear terms of the system are realized due to geometric effects. We show that the effects of nonlinear damping are far from being purely parasitic and introduce new dynamics when compared to the corresponding systems with linear damping. The dynamics is analyzed by performing a slow/fast decomposition leading to slow flows, which in turn are used to study transient instability caused by a bifurcation to 1:3 resonance capture. In addition, a new dynamical phenomenon of continuous resonance scattering is observed that is both persistent and prevalent for the case of the nonlinearly damped system: For certain moderate excitations, the transient dynamics “tracks” a manifold of impulsive orbits, in effect transitioning between multiple resonance captures over definitive frequency and energy ranges. Eventual bifurcation to 1:3 resonance capture generates the dynamic instability, which is manifested as a sudden burst of the response of the light attachment. Such instabilities that result in strong energy transfer indicate potential for various applications of nonlinear damping such as in vibration suppression and energy harvesting.
