The Galerkin procedure is used to discretize the nonlinear partial differential equation and boundary conditions governing the flutter of a simply supported panel in a supersonic stream. These equations have repeated natural frequencies at the onset of flutter. The method of multiple scales is used to derive five first-order nonlinear ordinary-differential equations governing the modulation of the amplitudes and phases of the excited modes. Then, the modulation equations are used to calculate the equilibrium solutions and their stability, and hence to identify the excitation parameters that suppress flutter and those that lead to complex motions. A combination of a shooting technique and Floquet theory is used to calculate limit cycles and their stability. The numerical results indicate the existence of a sequence of period-doubling bifurcations that culminates in chaos. The complex motions are characterized by using phase planes, power spectra, Lyapunov exponents, and dimensions.

Abstract The vibrations of buckled beams with two-to-one internal resonances (ω2 ≈ 2ω1) about a static buckled position are analyzed. General boundary conditions and harmonic excitations (frequency Ω) in both the transverse and axial directions are considered. The analysis assumes a unimodal static buckled deflection, considers quadratic nonlinearities only, and determines the amplitude and phase modulation equations via the method of multiple scales. The following specific cases are treated: Ω ≈ 2ω2, Ω ≈ ω1 + ω2, and Ω ≈ ω1. From the modulation equations for a primary resonance of the second mode (i.e., Ω ≈ ω2), one-mode and two-mode stable equilibrium solutions are found in addition to dynamic solutions caused by Hopf bifurcations. In the region of dynamic solutions, a variety of phenomena are documented, including period-doubling bifurcations, intermittency, chaos, and crises.

Abstract In this paper, a single-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation dynamic system, whose spring is composed of a magnetic repulsive force, is numerically analyzed. The numerical results indicate that a body levitated by magnetic force shows many kinds of vibrations upon adjusting the system parameters (viz., damping, excitation amplitude and excitation frequency) when the system is excited by the harmonically moving base. For a suitable combination of parameters, an aperiodic vibration occurs after a sequence of period-doubling bifurcations. Typical aperiodic vibrations that occurred after period-doubling bifurcations from several initial states are identified as chaotic vibration and classified into two groups by examining their power spectra, Poincare maps, fractal dimension analyses, etc.

The nonlinear response of an infinitely long cylindrical shell to a primary excitation of one of its two orthogonal flexural modes is investigated. The method of multiple scales is used to derive four ordinary differential equations describing the amplitudes and phases of the two orthogonal modes by (a) attacking a two-mode discretization of the governing partial differential equations and (b) directly attacking the partial differential equations. The two-mode discretization results in erroneous solutions because it does not account for the effects of the quadratic nonlinearities. The resulting two sets of modulation equations are used to study the equilibrium and dynamic solutions and their stability and hence show the different bifurcations. The response could be a single-mode solution or a two-mode solution. The equilibrium solutions of the two orthogonal third flexural modes undergo a Hopf bifurcation. A combination of a shooting technique and Floquet theory is used to calculate limit cycles and their stability. The numerical results indicate the existence of a sequence of period-doubling bifurcations that culminates in chaos, multiple attractors, explosive bifurcations, and crises.

Abstract The nonlinear planar response of a hinged-clamped beam to a parametric excitation of either its first mode or its second mode is investigated. The analysis accounts for mid-plane stretching, a static axial load, a restraining spring at one end, and modal damping. For a range of axial loads, the second natural frequency is approximately three times the first natural frequency and hence the first and second modes may interact via a three-to-one internal resonance. The method of multiple scales is used to attack directly the governing nonlinear integral-partial-differential equation and associated boundary conditions and derive two sets of four first-order nonlinear ordinary-differential equations describing the modulation of the amplitudes and phases of the first two modes in the case of principal parametric resonance of either the first or the second mode. Periodic motions and periodically and chaotically modulated motions of the beam are determined by investigating the equilibrium and dynamic solutions of the modulation equations. For the case of parametric resonance of the first mode, trivial and two-mode solutions are possible, whereas for the case of parametric resonance of the second mode, trivial, single-, and two-mode solutions are possible. The two-mode equilibrium solutions of the modulation equations may undergo either a supercritical or a subcritical Hopf bifurcation, depending on the magnitude of the axial load. In the region of dynamic solutions, some phenomena are documented, including period-doubling bifurcations and blue-sky catastrophes.

Auto and cross-bispectral analyses of a two-degree-of-freedom system with quadratic nonlinearities having two-to-one internal (autoparametric) resonance are presented. Following the work of Nayfeh (1987), the method of multiple scales is used to obtain a first-order uniform expansion yielding four first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations governing the modulation of the amplitudes and phases of the two modes. The particular case of parametric resonance of the first mode considered in this paper admits Hopf bifurcations and a pure period doubling route to chaos. Auto bicoherence spectra isolate the phase coupling between increasing numbers of triads of Fourier components for a pure period doubling route to chaos for the individual degrees-of freedom. Cross-bicoherence spectra, on the other hand, yield information about the phase coupling between the two degrees-of-freedom. The results presented here confirm the capacity of bispectral techniques to identify a quadratically nonlinear mechanical system that possesses chaotic motions. For the chaotic case, cross-bicoherence spectra indicate that most of the nonlinear energy transfer between the modes is owing to cross-coupling between phase modulations rather than between amplitude modulations.

Nonlinear oscillations of a single-degree-of-freedom, parametrically-excited system are considered. The stiffness involves quadratic and cubic nonlinearities and models a shallow arch or buckled mechanism. The excitation frequency is assumed to be close to twice the natural frequency of the system. Numerical integration is used to obtain phase plane portraits, power spectra, and Poincare´ maps for large-time motions. Period-doubling bifurcations and several types of limit cycles and chaotic behavior are observed. Approximate analytical techniques are applied to analyze some of the limit cycles and transitions of behavior. The results are used to estimate the parameter region in which chaos may occur.

Abstract The nonlinear nonplanar response of cantilever inextensional metallic beams to a principal parametric excitation of two of its “exural modes, one in each plane, is investigated. The lowest torsional frequencies of the beams considered are much larger than the frequencies of the excited modes so that the torsional inertia can be neglected. Using this condition as well as the inextensionality condition, we develop a Lagrangian whose variation leads to the two integro-partial-differential equations of Crespo da Silva and Glynn. The method of time-averaged Lagrangian is used to derive four first-order nonlinear ordinary-differential equations governing the modulation of the amplitudes and phases of the two interacting modes. The modulation equations exhibit the symmetry property found by Feng and Leal by analytically manipulating the interaction coefficients in the modulation equations obtained by Nayfeh and Pai by applying the method of multiple scales to the governing integro-partial-differential equations. A pseudo arclength scheme is used to trace the branches of the equilibrium solutions and an investigation of the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix is used to assess their stability. The equilibrium solutions experience pitchfork, saddle-node, and Hopf bifurcations. A detailed bifurcation of the dynamic solutions of the modulation equations is presented. Five branches of dynamic (periodic and chaotic) solutions were found. Two of these branches emerge from two Hopf bifurcations and the other three are isolated. The limit cycles undergo symmetry-breaking, cyclic-fold, and period-doubling bifurcations, whereas the chaotic attractors undergo attractor-merging and boundary crises.

AbstractWe present the effects of introducing results of 3D MHD simulations of buoyant magnetic fields in the solar convection zone in 2D mean-field Babcock-Leighton models. In particular, we take into account the time delay introduced by the rise time of the toroidal structures from the base of the convection zone to the solar surface. We find that the delays produce large temporal modulation of the cycle amplitude even when strong and thus rapidly rising flux tubes are considered. The study of a reduced model reveals that aperiodic modulations of the solar cycle appear after a sequence of period doubling bifurcations typical of non-linear systems. We also discuss the memory of such systems and the conclusions which may be drawn concerning the actual solar cycle variability.

Abstract The autoparametric vibratory system consisting of a primary spring-mass-dashpot system coupled with a damped simple pendulum serves as an useful example of two degree-of-freedom nonlinear systems that exhibit complex dynamic behavior. It exhibits 1:2 internal resonance and amplitude modulated chaos under harmonic forcing conditions. First-order averaging studies of this system using AUTO and KAOS have yielded useful information about the amplitude dynamics of this system. Response curves of the system indicate saturation and the pitchfork bifurcation sets are found to be symmetric. The period-doubling route to chaotic solutions is observed. However questions about the range of the small parameter ε (a function of the forcing amplitude) for which the solutions are valid cannot be answered by a first-order study. Some observed dynamical behavior, like saturation, may not persist when higher-order nonlinear effects are taken into account. Second-order averaging of the system, using Mathematica (Maeder, 1991; Wolfram, 1991) is undertaken to address these questions. Loss of saturation is observed in the steady-state amplitude responses. The breaking of symmetry in the various bifurcation sets becomes apparent as a consequence of ε appearing in the averaged equations. The dynamics of the system is found to be very sensitive to damping, with extremely complicated behavior arising for low values of damping. For large ε second-order averaging predicts additional Pitchfork and Hopf bifurcation points in the single-mode response.
