参数激励耦合系统的复杂动力学行为分析

分析了耦合van der Pol振子参数共振条件下的复杂动力学行为．基于平均方程，得到了参数平面上的转迁集，这些转迁集将参数平面划分为不同的区域，在各个不同的区域对应于系统不同的解．随着参数的变化，从平衡点分岔出两类不同的周期解，根据不同的分岔特性，这两类周期解失稳后，将产生概周期解或3—D环面解，它们都会随参数的变化进一步导致混吨．发现在系统的混沌区域中，其混吨吸引子随参数的变化会突然发生变化，分解为两个对称的混吨吸引子．值得注意的是，系统首先是由于2—D环面解破裂产生混吨，该混吨吸引子破裂后演变为新的混吨吸引子，却由倒倍周期分岔走向3—D环面解，也即存在两条通向混沌的道路：倍周期分岔和环面破裂，而这两种道路产生的混吨吸引子在一定参数条件下会相互转换．     

基于最优参数控制方法的齿轮系统混沌控制

基于最优参数控制方法,实现了齿轮传动系统中的混沌控制．以经典的间隙单齿轮副非线性动力学模型为研究对象,以啮合静载荷为控制参数,通过混沌吸引子中轨线的观测近似得到目标周期不动点、系统在目标不动点处的雅克比矩阵以及在控制原始参量处的梯度矩阵．最后运用最优参数控制策略计算得到啮合静载荷的小扰动量,实现了把齿轮系统的混沌运动镇定周期一轨道上的目的．研究结果表明,基于最优参数控制方法的控制过程,只是在控制的前几个周期内需要控制参数产生相对较大的扰动量,随着控制的继续进行,扰动量几乎稳定到了某一固定值,不再需要较大的变动．而且控制参数计算所需要的中间参量可以直接由混沌吸引子中轨线的观测近似得到,因而控制容易实现．     

Two-dimensional convection in a horizontal fluid layer with spatially periodic boundary temperatures

Two-dimensional thermal convection in a fluid layer confined between two horizontal rigid walls kept at spatially periodic temperatures is investigated by direct numerical simulations. With increasing the Rayleigh number, convection evolves from a steady state to a temporally chaotic flow. It is observed that the transition to the chaos occurs via quasi-periodic states with two or three basic frequencies or via sequences of period-doubling bifurcations, according to the boundary temperature distributions.

Chaotic mixing and mixing efficiency in a short time

Several studies of the chaotic motion of fluid particles by two-dimensional time-periodic flows or three-dimensional steady flows, called Lagrangian chaos, are first introduced. Secondly, some of the studies on efficient mixing caused by Lagrangian chaos, called chaotic mixing, are reviewed with discussion of several indices for the estimation of mixing efficiency. Finally, several indices to estimate the efficiency of mixing in a short time, such as those related to transport matrices, stable and unstable manifolds of hyperbolic periodic points of Poincaré maps, and lines of separation, are explained by showing examples of mixing by two-dimensional time-periodic flows between eccentric rotating cylinders and mixing by three-dimensional steady flows in a model of static mixers.

Chaotic dynamics in a neural network under electromagnetic radiation

In this paper, a small Hopfield neural network with three neurons is studied, in which one of the three neurons is considered to be exposed to electromagnetic radiation. The effect of electromagnetic radiation is modeled and considered as magnetic flux across membrane of the neuron, which contributes to the formation of membrane potential, and a feedback with a memristive type is used to describe coupling between magnetic flux and membrane potential. With the electromagnetic radiation being considered, the previous steady neural network can present abundant chaotic dynamics. It is found that hidden attractors can be observed in the neural network under different conditions. Moreover, periodic motion and chaotic motion appear intermittently with variations in some system parameters. Particularly, coexistence of periodic attractor, quasiperiodic attractor, and chaotic strange attractor, coexistence of bifurcation modes and transient chaos can be observed. In addition, an electric circuit of the neural network is implemented in Pspice, and the experimental results agree well with the numerical ones.     

On a New Route to Chaos in Railway Dynamics

Cooperrider's mathematical model of a railway bogie running on a straight track has been thoroughly investigated due to its interesting nonlinear dynamics (see True [1] for a survey). In this article a detailed numerical investigation is made of the dynamics in a speed range, where many solutions exist, but only a couple of which are stable. One of them is a chaotic attractor.Cooperrider's bogie model is described in Section 2, and in Section 3 we explain the method of numerical investigation. In Section 4 the results are shown. The main result is that the chaotic attractor is created through a period-doubling cascade of the secondary period in an asymptotically stable quasiperiodic oscillation at decreasing speed. Several quasiperiodic windows were found in the chaotic motion.This route to chaos was first described by Franceschini [9], who discovered it in a seven-mode truncation of the plane incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. The problem investigated by Franceschini is a smooth dynamical system in contrast to the dynamics of the Cooperrider truck model. The forcing in the Cooperrider model includes a component, which has the form of a very stiff linear spring with a dead band simulating an elastic impact. The dynamics of the Cooperrider truck is therefore non-smooth.The quasiperiodic oscillation is created in a supercritical Neimark bifurcation at higher speeds from an asymmetric unstable periodic oscillation, which gains stability in the bifurcation. The bifurcating quasiperiodic solution is initially unstable, but it gains stability in a saddle-node bifurcation when the branch turns back toward lower speeds.The chaotic attractor disappears abruptly in what is conjectured to be a blue sky catastrophe, when the speed decreases further.     

Bifurcations and chaos in a periodic time-varying temperature-excited bimetallic shallow shell of revolution

The chaotic vibrations of a bimetallic shallow shell of revolution under time-varying temperature excitation are investigated in the present study. The governing equations are established in forms similar to those of classical single-layered shell theory by re-determination of reference surface. The nonlinear differential equation in time-mode is derived by variational method following an assumed spatial-mode. The Melnikov function is established theoretically to estimate regions of the chaos, and the Poincaré map, phase portrait, Lyapunov exponent, and Lyapunov dimension are used to determine if a chaotic motion really appears. Further investigations are developed by means of detailed numerical simulation, and both the bifurcation diagrams and corresponding maximum Lyapunov exponent are illustrated. The influence of static and time-dependent temperature parameters, height parameter of the shell, and damping parameter on the dynamic characteristics is examined. Interesting phenomena such as the onset of chaos, transient chaotic motion, chaos with interior crisis and period window, period-doubling scenario and reversed period-doubling bifurcation leading to chaos, jump phenomena, and chaos suddenly converting to period orbit have been observed from these figures.

Revisited chaotic vibrations in dielectric elastomer systems with stiffening

Dielectric elastomer is a type of soft materials which can deform under applied voltage. Here, irregular vibrations in a circular dielectric elastomer membrane with stiffening under periodic forcing are studied. The stiffening phenomenon can induce fast increases in the potential energies near the limiting stretches, which induces challenges to the numerical simulations. By comparing different numerical strategies, the adaptive step size method with allowable very small step sizes is used to simulate the system. For the system with or without damping, the existence of chaos is then verified through the positive maximum Lyapunov exponent and the fractal structures in the phase plane simultaneously. The local dynamic analysis shows the strong contribution of regions near the limiting stretches to the occurrence of chaos, revealing the important role of the stiffening. For the system with damping, the rich dynamical behaviors accompanying chaos such as the period-doubling route to chaos and the long chaotic transients also provide further consistent supports for the existence of chaos. For the system without damping, chaos region in a parameter plane is located by using different initial conditions, revealing the transitional behaviors from periodic states to chaos. Besides, the chaos is more easily to occur in the system without damping. Thus, the study here is useful to avoid or further handle such complex irregular dynamics.

     

NONLINEAR STABILITY OF BALANCED ROTOR DUE TO EFFECT OF BALL BEARING INTERNAL CLEARANCE

Stability and dynamic characteristics of a ball bearing-rotor system are investigated under the effect of the clearance in the ball bearing. Different clearance values are assumed to calculate the nonlinear stability of periodic solution with the aid of the Floquet theory. Bifurcation and chaos behavior are analyzed with variation of the clearance and rotational speed. It is found that there are three routes to unstable periodic solution. The period-doubling bifurcation and the secondary Hopf bifurcation are two usual routes to instability. The third route is the boundary crisis, a chaotic attractor occurs suddenly as the speed passes through its critical value. At last, the instable ranges for different internal clearance values are described. It is useful to investigate the stability property of ball bearing rotor system.     

齿轮传动系统共存吸引子的不连续分岔

大量的多吸引子共存是引起齿轮传动系统具有丰富动力学行为的一个重要因素.多吸引子共存时,运动工况的变化以及不可避免的扰动都可能导致齿轮传动系统在不同运动行为之间跳跃变换,对整个机器产生不良的影响.目前,一些隐藏的吸引子没有被发现,共存吸引子的分岔演化规律没有被完全揭示.考虑单自由度直齿圆柱齿轮传动系统,构建由局部映射复合的Poincaré映射,给出Jacobi矩阵特征值计算的半解析法.应用数值仿真、延拓打靶法和Floquet特征乘子求解共存吸引子的稳定性与分岔,应用胞映射法计算共存吸引子的吸引域,讨论啮合频率、阻尼比和时变激励幅值对系统动力学的影响,揭示齿轮传动系统倍周期型擦边分岔、亚临界倍周期分岔诱导的鞍结分岔和边界激变等不连续分岔行为.倍周期分岔诱导的鞍结分岔引起相邻周期吸引子相互转迁的跳跃与迟滞,使倍周期分岔呈现亚临界特性.鞍结分岔是共存周期吸引子出现或消失的主要原因.边界激变引起混沌吸引子及其吸引域突然消失,对应周期吸引子的分岔终止.     

Dynamical analysis of two coupled parametrically excited van der Pol oscillators

The dynamical behavior of two coupled parametrically excited van der pol oscillators is investigated in this paper. Based on the averaged equations, the transition boundaries are sought to divide the parameter space into a set of regions, which correspond to different types of solutions. Two types of periodic solutions may bifurcate from the initial equilibrium. The periodic solutions may lose their stabilities via a generalized static bifurcation, which leads to stable quasi-periodic solutions, or via a generalized Hopf bifurcation, which leads to stable 3D tori. The instabilities of both the quasi-periodic solutions and the 3D tori may directly lead to chaos with the variation of the parameters. Two symmetric chaotic attractors are observed and for certain values of the parameters, the two attractors may interact with each other to form another enlarged chaotic attractor.     

Periodic and chaotic dynamics of a sliding driven oscillator with dry friction

We have performed a numerical study of the dynamics of a harmonically forced sliding oscillator with two degrees of freedom and dry friction. The study of the four-dimensional dynamical system corresponding to the two non-linear motion equations can be reduced, in this case, to the study of a three-dimensional Poincaré map. The behaviour of the system has been investigated calculating bifurcation diagrams, time series, periodic and chaotic attractors and basins of attraction. Furthermore, a systematic study of the stability of periodic solutions and their bifurcations has been carried out applying the Floquet theory. The results show rich dynamics being very sensitive to the changes in forcing amplitudes (control parameter), where periodic and chaotic states alternatively appear. It is shown how the system exhibits different types of bifurcational phenomena (saddle-node, symmetry-breaking, period-doubling cascades and intermittent transitions to chaos) into relatively narrow intervals of the control parameter. Moreover, a collection of chaotic attractors was computed to show the evolution of the chaotic regime. Finally, basins of attraction were calculated. In all the cases studied, the basins exhibit fractal structure boundaries and, when more of two attractors are coexisting, we have found Wada basin boundaries.     

Evolution of flow structure in impinging three-dimensional axial and radial jets

Direct numerical simulations of the flow field of an element of banks of impinging axial and radial slot jets for different Reynolds number are presented. Simulations have been obtained from the solution of the Navier–Stokes equations. Results show for the chosen geometry a transition from steady to periodic to chaotic flow with increasing Reynolds number. The transition Reynolds number is nearly 50% smaller for the radial jet than for the axial jet. Period doubling has been observed for both cases, but only the radial jet shows periodic windows of chaos. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

An Impulsive Multi-delayed Feedback Control Method for Stabilizing Discrete Chaotic Systems

An impulsive multi-delayed feedback control strategy to control the period-doubling bifurcations and chaos in an n dimensional discrete system is proposed. This is an extension of the previous result in which the control method is applicable to the one-dimensional case. Then the application of the control method in a discrete prey–predator model is studied systematically, including the dynamics analysis on the prey–predator model with no control, the bifurcations analysis on the controlled model, and the bifurcations and chaos control effects illustrations. Simulations show that the period-doubling bifurcations and the resulting chaos can be delayed or eliminated completely. And the periodic orbits embedded in the chaotic attractor can be stabilized. Compared with the existed methods, a milder condition is needed for the realization of the proposed method. The condition may be considered as a generic case and we may state that almost all periodic orbits can be stabilized by the proposed method. Besides, the idea of impulsive control makes the implementation of the proposed control method easy. The impulsive interval is embodied in the analytical expression of the stability condition, hence can be chosen qualitatively according to the real needs, which is an extension of the existed related results. The introduction of multi-delay enlarges the domain of the control parameters and makes the selection of the control parameters have many choices, and hence become flexible.     

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.     

Dynamical behavior analysis and bifurcation mechanism of a new 3-D nonlinear periodic switching system

This paper presents a new periodic switching chaotic system, which is topologically non-equivalent to the original sole chaotic systems. Of particular interest is that the periodic switching chaotic system can generate stable solution in a very wide parameter domain and has rich dynamic phenomena. The existence of a stable limit cycle with a suitable choice of the parameters is investigated. The complex dynamical evolutions of the switching system composed of the Rössler system and the Chua’s circuit are discussed, which is switched by equal period. Then the possible bifurcation behaviors of the system at the switching boundary are obtained. The mechanism of the different behaviors of the system is investigated. It is pointed out that the trajectories of the system have obvious switching points, which are decided by the periodic signal. Meanwhile, the system may be led to chaos via a period-doubling bifurcation, resulting in the switching collisions between the trajectories and the non-smooth boundary points. The complicated dynamics are studied by virtue of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. Furthermore, the control methods of this periodic switching system are discussed. The results we have obtained clearly show that the nonlinear switching system includes different waveforms and frequencies and it deserves more detailed research.     

Bifurcation and route-to-chaos analyses for Mathieu–Duffing oscillator by the incremental harmonic balance method

Bifurcations and route to chaos of the Mathieu–Duffing oscillator are investigated by the incremental harmonic balance (IHB) procedure. A new scheme for selecting the initial value conditions is presented for predicting the higher order periodic solutions. A series of period-doubling bifurcation points and the threshold value of the control parameter at the onset of chaos can be calculated by the present procedure. A sequence of period-doubling bifurcation points of the oscillator are identified and found to obey the universal scale law approximately. The bifurcation diagram and phase portraits obtained by the IHB method are presented to confirm the period-doubling route-to-chaos qualitatively. It can also be noted that the phase portraits and bifurcation points agree well with those obtained by numerical time-integration.
