We consider a generalized pendulum equation depending on the scalar parameter [Formula: see text] having for [Formula: see text] a limit cycle [Formula: see text] of the second kind and of multiplicity three. We study the bifurcation behavior of [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] by means of a Dulac–Cherkas function.

The shimmy problem causes considerable harm to vehicles and is difficult to solve, especially multiple limit cycle shimmy. Moreover, the dynamic behavior of the multiple limit cycle shimmy of vehicles based on a bisectional road is more complex. Shimmy is practically observed in trucks of cooperative factories during utilization. Thus, we take a heavy truck of a cooperative factory as the prototype and establish a dynamic model of the vehicle-road coupling shimmy system, considering the road adhesion coefficient and dry friction between the suspension and steering system. Based on the dynamic model, the Hopf bifurcation theory is used to qualitatively analyze the existence of the limit cycle for the vehicle shimmy system, and the multiple limit cycle shimmy phenomenon is successfully reproduced using a numerical method. Moreover, the effect of the road adhesion coefficient on the multiple limit cycle shimmy characteristic is studied. Results show that the speed interval and amplitude of the multiple limit cycle shimmy decrease with the road adhesion coefficient; when the coefficient is reduced to a certain extent, the multiple limit cycle shimmy phenomenon is not observed. In addition, the adhesion coefficient of the second axle has a stronger effect on the shimmy characteristic than that of the first axle.

This paper presents the stability and bifurcation of transverse motion of translating strings excited by a steady wind flowfield. The stability of the equilibrium configuration is presented for loss of stability and generation of limit cycles via the Hopf bifurcation. It is demonstrated that there are single, double and quadruple Hopf bifurcations in the parametric space that lead to the limit cycle motion. The method of Incremental Harmonic Balance is used to solve the limit cycle response of which the stability is determined by computation of the Floquet multipliers. For the forced vibration, it is pointed out that the periodic and quasi-periodic motions exist as parameters are changed. The quench frequency and the Neimark-Sacker (NS) bifurcation and flip bifurcation are obtained. The continuity software MATCONT is adopted and the Resonance 1:1, 1:3 and 1:4 as well as NS to NS bifurcations are presented. The bifurcation behavior reveals the complexity of the string’s motion response induce by aerodynamic excitations.

This work focuses on the bifurcation behavior before chaos phenomenon happens. Traditional numerical method is unable to solve the unstable limit cycle of nonlinear system. One algorithm is introduced to solve the unstable one, which is based one of the continuation method is called DEPAR approach. Combined with analytic and numerical method, the two stable and symmetrical equilibrium solutions exist through Fork bifurcation and the unstable and symmetrical limit cycles exist through Hopf bifurcation of Lorenz system. With the continuation algorithm, the bifurcation behavior and its phase diagram is solved. The results demonstrate the unstable periodical solution is around the equilibrium solution, besides the trajectory into the unstable area cannot escape but only converge to the equilibrium solution.
