Straight Beam

A straight beam with fixed ends, forced with two frequencies is considered. By using Galerkin’s method, the equation of motion of the beam is reduced to a finite degree-of-freedom system. The resulting equation is transformed into a multi-frequency system and the averaging method is applied. It is shown, by using Melnikov’s method, that there exist transverse homoclinic orbits in the averaged system associated with the first-mode equation. This implies that chaotic motions may occur in the single-mode equation. Furthermore, the effect of higher modes and the implications of this result for the full beam motions are described.

Simulation Results

We study a mathematical model for unforced and undamped, initially straight beams. This system is governed by an integro-partial differential equation, and its energy is conserved: It is an infinite-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system. We can derive “exact” finite-degree-of-freedom mode truncations for it. Using the differential Galois theory for Hamiltonian systems, we prove that any two or more modal truncations for the model are nonintegrable in the following sense: The Hamiltonian systems do not have the same number of “meromorphic” first complex integrals which are independent and in involution, as the number of their degrees of freedom, when they are regarded as Hamiltonian systems with complex time and coordinates. This also means the nonintegrability of the infinite-degree-of-freedom model for the beams. We present numerical simulation results and observe that chaotic motions occur as in typical nonintegrable Hamiltonian systems.

In this paper we study the dynamics of a weakly nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom system subjected to combined parametric and external excitation. The averaging method is used to establish the existence of invariant tori and analyze their stability. Furthermore, by applying the Melnikov technique to the average system it is shown that there exist transverse homoclinic orbits resulting in chaotic dynamics. Numerical simulation results are also given to demonstrate the theoretical results.

This paper describes a study of the chaotic dynamics of a weakly nonlinear single degree-of-freedom system subjected to combined parametric and external excitation. We consider a case of double resonance in which primary resonances, with respect to parametric and external forces, exist simultaneously. By using the averaging method and Melnikov’s technique, it is shown that chaos may occur in certain parameter regions. These chaotic motions result from the existence of orbits homoclinic to a normally hyperbolic invariant torus which corresponds to a hyperbolic periodic orbit in the averaged system. The mechanism and structure of chaos in this situation are also described. Furthermore, the existence of steady-state chaos is demonstrated by numerical simulation.

First Time

The multi-pulse homoclinic orbits and chaotic dynamics of an equivalent circular cylindrical shell for the circular mesh antenna are investigated in the case of 1:2 internal resonance in this paper for the first time. Applying the method of averaging, the four-dimensional averaged equation in the Cartesian form is obtained. The theory of normal form is used to reduce the averaged equation to a simpler form. Based on the simplified system, the energy phase method is employed to investigate the homoclinic bifurcations and the Shilnikov type multi-pulse chaotic dynamics. First, the energy difference function and the zeroes of the energy difference function are obtained. Then, the existence of the Shilnikov type multi-pulse orbits is determined. The homoclinic trees are depicted to describe the relationship among the layers diameter, the pulse numbers and the phase shift. Finally, we need to verify the condition which makes sure that any multi-pulse orbit departing from a slow sink comes back to the domain of attraction of one of the sinks. The results obtained here show the existence of the Shilnikov type multi-pulse chaotic motions of the circular mesh antenna. Numerical simulations are used to find multi-pulse chaotic motions. The results of the theoretical analysis are in qualitative agreement with the results obtained using numerical simulation.

Parametrically Excited

The multi-pulse heteroclinic orbits and chaotic dynamics of a parametrically excited viscoelastic moving belt are studied in detail. Using Kelvin-type viscoelastic constitutive law, the equation of motion for viscoelastic moving belt with the external damping and parametric excitation are determined. The four-dimensional averaged equation under the case of 1:1 internal resonance and primary parametric resonance is obtained by directly using the method of multiple scales and Galerkin’s approach to the partial differential governing equation of motion for viscoelastic moving belt. The system is transformed to the averaged equation. From the averaged equation, the theory of normal form is used to find the explicit formulas of normal form. Based on normal form obtained, an extension of the Melnikov method is utilized to analyze the multi-pulse global bifurcations and chaotic dynamics for a parametrically excited viscoelastic moving belt. The analysis of global dynamics indicates that there exist the multi-pulse jumping orbits in the perturbed phase space of the averaged equation. From the averaged equations obtained, the chaotic motions and the Shilnikov type multi-pulse heteroclinic orbits of viscoelastic moving belts are found by using numerical simulation. The results obtained above mean the existence of the chaos for the Smale horseshoe sense for a parametrically excited viscoelastic moving belt.

Averaged Equations

The multipulse homoclinic orbits and chaotic dynamics of a reinforced composite plate with the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) under combined in-plane and transverse excitations are studied in the case of 1 : 1 internal resonance. The method of multiple scales is adopted to derive the averaged equations. From the averaged equations, the normal form theory is applied to reduce the equations to a simpler normal form associated with a double zero and a pair of pure imaginary eigenvalues. The energy-phase method proposed by Haller and Wiggins is utilized to examine the global bifurcations and chaotic dynamics of the CNT-reinforced composite plate. The analytical results demonstrate that the multipulse Shilnikov-type homoclinic orbits and chaotic motions exist in the system. Homoclinic trees are constructed to illustrate the repeated bifurcations of multipulse solutions. In order to verify the theoretical results, numerical simulations are given to show the multipulse Shilnikov-type chaotic motions in the CNT-reinforced composite plate. The results obtained here imply that the motion is chaotic in the sense of the Smale horseshoes for the CNT-reinforced composite plate.

Suspended Cables

The global bifurcations and chaotic dynamics of parametrically and externally excited suspended cables are investigated in this paper. The governing equations are obtained to describe the nonlinear transverse vibrations of suspended cables. The Galerkin procedure is introduced to simplify the governing equations of motion to ordinary differential equations with two-degrees-of-freedom. The case of one-to-one internal resonance between the modes of suspended cables, primary and principal parametric resonance of suspended cables is considered. With the method of multiple scales, parametrically and externally excited system is transformed to the averaged equation, based on which, the recently developed global bifurcation method is employed to detect the presence of orbits which are homoclinic to certain invariant sets for the resonant case. The analysis of the global bifurcations indicates that there exist the generalized Šhilnikov type multipulse homoclinic orbits in the averaged equation of suspended cables. The results obtained here mean that chaotic motions can occur in suspended cables. Numerical simulations also verify the analytical predictions. It is found, according to the results of numerical simulations, that the Šhilnikov type multipulse homoclinic orbits exist in the nonlinear motion of the cables.

The resonant chaotic dynamics of a symmetric cross-ply composite laminated plate are studied using the exponential dichotomies and an averaging procedure for the first time. The partial differential governing equations of motion for the symmetric cross-ply composite laminated plate are derived by using Reddy’s third-order shear deformation plate theory and von Karman type equation. The partial differential governing equations of motion are discretized into two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear systems including the quadratic and cubic nonlinear terms by using Galerkin method. There exists a fixed point of saddle-focus in the linear part for two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system. The Melnikov method containing the terms of the nonhyperbolic mode is developed to investigate the resonant chaotic motions of the symmetric cross-ply composite laminated plate. The obtained results indicate that the nonhyperbolic mode of the symmetric cross-ply composite laminated plate does not affect the critical conditions in the occurrence of chaotic motions in the resonant case. When the resonant chaotic motion occurs, we can draw a conclusion that the resonant chaotic motions of the hyperbolic subsystem are shadowed for the full nonlinear system of the symmetric cross-ply composite laminated plate.

We present general results pertaining to chaotic motions in a class of systems termed slowly varying oscillators which consist of weakly perturbed single-degree-of-freedom systems in which parameters vary slowly in time according to an additional equation of motion. Our results include an analytical method for detecting transversal intersections of stable and unstable manifolds (typically a necessary condition for chaotic motions to exist) and a detailed description of the chaotic dynamics that occur when this situation exists.
