Notes: Abstract The finite motions of a suspended elastic cable subjected to a planar harmonic excitation can be studied accurately enough through a single ordinary-differential equation with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities. The possible onset of chaotic motion for the cable in the region between the one-half subharmonic resonance condition and the primary one is analysed via numerical simulations. Chaotic charts in the parameter space of the excitation are obtained and the transition from periodic to chaotic regimes is analysed in detail by using phase-plane portraits, Poincaré maps, frequency-power spectra, Lyapunov exponents and fractal dimensions as chaotic measures. Period-doubling, sudden changes and intermittency bifurcations are observed.

Notes: Abstract A HB (Harmonic Balance)/AFT (Alternating Frequency/Time) technique is developed to obtain synchronous and subsynchronous whirling motions of a horizontal Jeffcott rotor with bearing clearances. The method utilizes an explicit Jacobian form for the iterative process which guarantees convergence at all parameter values. The method is shown to constitute a robust and accurate numerical scheme for the analysis of two dimensional nonlinear rotor problems. The stability analysis of the steady-state motions is obtained using perturbed equations about the periodic motions. The Floquet multipliers of the associated Monodromy matrix are determined using a new discrete HB/AFT method. Flip bifurcation boundaries were obtained which facilitated detection of possible rotor chaotic (irregular) motion as parameters of the system are changed. Quasi-periodic motion is also shown to occur as a result of a secondary Hopf bifurcation due to increase of the destabilizing cross-coupling stiffness coefficients in the rotor model.

Notes: Abstract We investigate some of the instabilities in a single-machine quasi-infinite busbar system. The system's behavior is described by the so-called swing equation, which is a nonlinear second-order ordinary-differential equation with additive and multiplicative harmonic terms having the frequency Ω. When Ω≈ω0, where ω0 is the linear natural frequency of the machine, we use digital-computer simulations to exhibit some of the complicated responses of the machine, including period-doubling bifurcations, chaotic motions, and unbounded motions (loss of synchronism). To predict the onset of these complicated behaviors, we use the method of multiple scales to develop an approximate first-order closed-form expression for the period-one responses of the machine. Then, we use various techniques to determine the stability of the analytical solutions. The analytically predicted period-one solutions and conditions for its instability are in good agreement with the digital-computer results.

Notes: Abstract The dynamic behavior of a harmonically excited, preloaded mechanical oscillator with dead-zone nonlinearity is described quantiatively. The governing strongly nonlinear differential equation is solved numerically. Damping coefficient-force ratio maps for two different values of the excitation frequency have been formed and the boundaries of the regions of different motion types are determined. The results have been compared with the results of the forced Duffing's equation available in the literature in order to identify the differences between cubic and dead-zone nonlinearities. Period-doubling bifurcations, which take place with a change of any of the system parameters, have been found to be the most common route to chaos. Such bifurcations follow the scaling rule of Feigenbaum. b half length of the clearance. c viscous damping coefficient. f nonlinear displacement function. % MathType!MTEF!2!1!+-% feaafeart1ev1aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn% hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqtubsr% 4rNCHbGeaGqiVu0Je9sqqrpepC0xbbL8F4baFfea0dXde9vqpa0lb9% cq0dXdb9IqFHe9FjuP0-iq0dXdbba9pe0lb9hs0dXda91qaq-xfr-x% fj-hmeGabiqaaiaacaGaaeqabaWaaeaaeaaakeaaceqGgbGbaKaaaa% a!3332!${\rm{\hat F}}$ alternating force to mean force ratio.

Notes: Abstract The response of a single-machine quasi-infinite busbar system to the simultaneous occurrence of principal parametric resonance and subharmonic resonance of order one-half is investigated. By numerical simulations we show the existence of oscillatory solutions (limit cycles), period-doubling bifurcations, chaos, and unbounded motions (loss of synchronism). The method of multiple scales is used to derive a second-order analytical solution that predicts (a) the onset of period-doubling bifurcations, which is a precursor to chaos and unbounded motions (loss of synchronism), and (b) saddle-node bifurcations, which may be precursors to loss of synchronism.

Notes: Abstract We present a collection of experimental results on the influence of modal interactions (i.e., internal or autoparametric resonances) on the nonlinear response of flexible metallic and composite structures subjected to a range of resonant excitations. The experimental results are provided in the form of frequency spectra, Poincaré sections, pseudo-phase planes, dimension calculations, and response curves. Experimental observations of transitions from periodic to chaotically modulated motions are also presented. We also discuss relevant analytical results. The current study is also relevant to other internally resonant structural systems.

Notes: Abstract Three nonlinear integro-differential equations of motion derived in Part I are used to investigate the forced nonlinear vibration of a symmetrically laminated graphite-epoxy composite beam. The analysis focuses on the case of primary resonance of the first in-plane flexural (chordwise) mode when its frequency is approximately twice the frequency of the first out-of-plane flexural-torsional (flapwise-torsional) mode. A combination of the fundamental-matrix method and the method of multiple scales is used to derive four first-order ordinary-differential equations describing the modulation of the amplitudes and phases of the interacting modes with damping, nonlinearity, and resonances. The eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix of the modulation equations are used to determine the stability of their constant solutions, and Floquet theory is used to determine the stability and bifurcations of their limit-cycle solutions. Hopf bifurcations, symmetry-breaking bifurcations, period-multiplying sequences, and chaotic motions of the modulation equations are studied. The results show that the motion can be nonplanar although the input force is planar. Nonplanar responses may be periodic, periodically modulated, or chaotically modulated motions.

Notes: Abstract The purpose of this paper is to examine a highly nonlinear model of a slender beam which yields chaotic solutions for some forcing amplitudes. The study is unique in that the governing partial differential equations are solved directly, and that the model lends itself to a more physical analysis of the beam than traditional chaotic models. In addition, the analysis will provide proof that a beam experiencing moderate deformations without stops or an initial axial force can exhibit chaotic motion. The model represents a simply-supported. Euler-Bernoulli beam subjected to a transverse load. The forcing function is sinusoidally distributed in space with an amplitude which also varies sinusoidally in time and is assumed to reach a maximum sufficient to allow nonlinearities associated with finite deformations to become important. During motion, even though displacements are large, the beam is assumed to attain only small strain levels and thus is assumed to be linearly elastic. The results indicate that for most levels of the forcing function the response of the beam is periodic. However, the steady state motion is not sinusoidal in time and in fact exhibits some bifurcated motions. At a certain level of the forcing amplitude, an asymmetry is observed and the periodicity of the motion breaks down as the beam experiences a period doubling cascade which culminates in a chaotic motion. The progression from periodic to chaotic motion is presented through a series of phase plane and Poincané plots, and physical variables such as bending moment are examined.

Notes: Abstract The paper is devoted to the study of common features in regular and strange behavior of the three classic dissipative softening type driven oscillators: (a) twin-well potential system, (b) single-well potential unsymmetric system and (c) single-well potential symmetric system. Computer simulations are followed by analytical approximations. It is shown that the mathematical techniques and physical concepts related to the theory of nonlinear oscillations are very useful in predicting bifurcations from regular, periodic responses to cross-well chaotic motions or to escape phenomena. The approximate analysis of periodic, resonant solutions and of period doubling or symmetry breaking instabilities in the Hill's type variational equation provides us with closed-form algebraic simple formulae; that is, the relationship between critical system parameter values, for which strange phenomena can be expected.

Notes: Abstract In some parameter ranges, the dynamics of a forced oscillator with Coulomb friction dependent on both displacement and velocity is reducible to the dynamics of a one-dimensional map. In numerical simulations, period-doubling bifurcations are observed for the oscillator. In this bifurcation procedure, the map arising from the Coulomb model may not have ‘standard’ form. The bifurcation sequence of the Coulomb model is compared to that of the standard one-dimensional maps to see if it exhibits ‘universal’ behavior. All observed components of the bifurcation sequence fit the universal sequence, although some universal events are not witnessed.
