Grazing Bifurcations

Abstract There are numerous non-smooth factors in railway vehicle systems, such as flange impact, dry friction, creep force, and so on. Such non-smooth factors heavily affect the dynamical behavior of the railway systems. In this paper, we investigate and mathematically analyze the double grazing bifurcations of the railway wheelset systems with flange contact. Two types of models of flange impact are considered, one is a rigid impact model and the other is a soft impact model. First, we derive Poincaré maps near the grazing trajectory by the Poincaré-section discontinuity mapping (PDM) approach for the two impact models. Then, we analyze and compare the near grazing dynamics of the two models. It is shown that in the rigid impact model the stable periodic motion of the railway wheelset system translates into a chaotic motion after the gazing bifurcation, while in the soft impact model a pitchfork bifurcation occurs and the system tends to the chaotic state through a period doubling bifurcation. Our results also extend the applicability of the PDM of one constraint surface to that of two constraint surfaces for autonomous systems.

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.

The nonlinear dynamical behavior of an atmospheric circulation in a beta-plane channel is examined on a five-spectral mode model, truncated from the Charney and DeVore quasi-geostrophic equation. Bifurcation and chaos are observed when subjected to a topographic driving disturbance and a thermally driving zonal source. An equilibrium state undergoes supercritical Hopf bifurcation and becomes a stable periodic state with respect to the magnitude of the thermally driving source, whereas the periodic state undergoes a subcritical Hopf bifurcation and transforms into a low-index equilibrium state with respect to the increasing topographic driving disturbance. The stable periodic state further develops into a pair of stable periodic states when increasing the thermally driving source. The first one with the period of 4.3 days exhibits an oscillation of strong and weak zonal flow patterns, whereas the second one with the period of 6.8 days demonstrates a fluctuation amongst weak zonal disturbance flow patterns. Moreover, the two periodic states transform respectively into chaos through separate period-doubling cascades with the further development of the thermally driving source.

This paper studies the dynamics of a self-sustained electromechanical transducer. The stability of fixed points in the linear response is examined. Their local bifurcations are investigated and different types of bifurcation likely to occur are found. Conditions for the occurrence of Hopf bifurcations are derived. Harmonic oscillatory solutions are obtained in both nonresonant and resonant cases. Their stability is analyzed in the resonant case. Various bifurcation diagrams associated to the largest one-dimensional (1-D) numerical Lyapunov exponent are obtained, and it is found that chaos can appear suddenly, through period doubling, period adding, or torus breakdown. The extreme sensitivity of the electromechanical system to both initial conditions and tiny variations of the coupling coefficients is also outlined. The experimental study of̱the electromechanical system is carried out. An appropriate electronic circuit (analog simulator) is proposed for the investigation of the dynamical behavior of the electromechanical system. Correspondences are established between the coefficients of the electromechanical system model and the components of the electronic circuit. Harmonic oscillatory solutions and phase portraits are obtained experimentally. One of the most important contributions of this work is to provide a set of reliable analytical expressions (formulas) describing the electromechanical system behavior. These formulas are of great importance for design engineers as they can be used to predict the states of the electromechanical systems and respectively to avoid their destruction. The reliability of the analytical formulas is demonstrated by the very good agreement with the results obtained by both the numeric and the experimental analysis.

This paper presents a study of the nonlinear dynamic behavior a flying capacitor four-level three-cell DC-DC buck converter. Its stability analysis is performed and its stability boundaries is determined in the multi-dimensional paramertic space. First, the switched model of the converter is presented. Then, a discrete-time controller for the converter is proposed. The controller is is responsible for both balancing the flying capacitor voltages from one hand and for output current regulation. Simulation results from the switched model of the converter under the proposed controller are presented. The results show that the system may undergo bifurcation phenomena and period doubling route to chaos when some system parameters are varied. One-dimensional bifurcation diagrams are computed and used to explore the possible dynamical behavior of the system. By using Floquet theory and Filippov method to derive the monodromy matrix, the bifurcation behavior observed in the converter is accurately predicted. Based on justified and realistic approximations of the system state variables waveforms, simple and accurate expressions for these steady-state values and the monodromy matrix are derived and validated. The simple expression of the steady-state operation and the monodromy matrix allow to analytically predict the onset of instability in the system and the stability region in the parametric space is determined. Numerical simulations from the exact switched model validate the theoretical predictions.

In this paper, we study the dynamical behavior of a prey-dependent digestive model with a state-dependent impulsive effect. Using the Poincaré map and the Lambert W-function, we find the analytical expression of discrete mapping. Sufficient conditions are established for transcritical bifurcation and period-doubling bifurcation through an analytical method. Exact locations of these bifurcations are explored. Numerical simulations of an example are illustrated which agree well with our theoretical results.

Period Doubling Bifurcations

Bifurcations and chaos in a network of three identical sigmoidal neurons are examined. The network consists of a two-neuron oscillator of the Wilson–Cowan type and an additional third neuron, which has a simpler structure than chaotic neural networks in the previous studies. A codimension-two fold-pitchfork bifurcation connecting two periodic solutions exists, which is accompanied by the Neimark–Sacker bifurcation. A stable quasiperiodic solution is generated and Arnold’s tongues emanate from the locus of the Neimark–Sacker bifurcation in a two-dimensional parameter space. The merging, splitting and crossing of the Arnold tongues are observed. Further, multiple chaotic attractors are generated through cascades of period-doubling bifurcations of periodic solutions in the Arnold tongues. The chaotic attractors grow and are destroyed through crises. Transient chaos and crisis-induced intermittency due to the crises are also observed. These quasiperiodic solutions and chaotic attractors are robust to small asymmetry in the output function of neurons.

We present a study on the dynamics of a cylinder wake subjected to forced excitation. Williams et al. (1992) discovered that the spatial symmetry of the excitation plays a crucial role in determining the resulting wake dynamics. Reflection-symmetric forcing was found to affect the Karman wake much more strongly compared to Z2(κ, π) asymmetric forcing. For low forcing amplitudes, the existence of a nonlinear mode interaction mechanism was postulated to explain the observed “beating” phenomenon observed in the wake. Previous work by the authors (Mureithi et al. 2002, 2003) presented general forms of the modal interaction amplitude equations governing the dynamics of the periodically forced wake. In the present work, numerical CFD computations of the forced cylinder wake are presented. It is shown that the experimentally observed wake bifurcations can be reproduced by numerical simulations with reasonable accuracy. The CFD computations show that the forced wake first looses reflection symmetry followed by a bifurcation associated with vortex merging as the forcing amplitude is increased. A bifurcation analysis of a simplified amplitude equation shows that these two transitions are due to a pitchfork bifurcation and a period-doubling bifurcation of mixed mode solutions.

This study refers to the investigation on the critical operating condition occurring on high productivity milling machines, known as chatter. This phenomenon is generated by a self-excited vibration, associated with a loss of stability of the system, causing reduced productivity, poor surface finish and noise. This study consists of the theoretical and experimental modeling of machining chatter conditions, in order to develop a real-time monitoring system able to diagnose the occurrence of chatter in advance and to dynamically modify the cutting parameters for process optimization. A prototype NC 3-axis milling machine was ad hoc realized to accomplish this task. The machine was instrumented by a dynamometer table, and a series of accelerometer sensors were mounted in the proximity of the tool spindle and the workpiece. An analytical model was developed, taking into account the periodic cutting force arising during interrupted cutting operation in milling. The system dynamical behavior was described by means of a set of delay differential equations with periodic coefficients. The stability of this system was analyzed by the semi discretization approach based on the Floquet theory. Lobe stability charts were evaluated and associated with frequency diagrams. Two chatter types were analytically and experimentally detected: period-doubling bifurcations and secondary Hopf bifurcations. Measurement data were acquired and analyzed in the time and frequency domain. Several tests were conducted in a wide range of operating conditions, such as radial immersion, depth of cut and spindle speeds and using different tools. Results are reported showing agreement between the numerical analysis and the related experimental tests.

Smooth Dynamical System

In this work a one-dimensional piecewise-smooth dynamical system, representing a Poincaré return map for dynamical systems of the Lorenz type, is investigated. The system shows a bifurcation scenario similar to the classical period-doubling one, but which is influenced by so-called border collision phenomena and denoted as border collision period-doubling bifurcation scenario. This scenario is formed by a sequence of pairs of bifurcations, whereby each pair consists of a border collision bifurcation and a pitchfork bifurcation. The mechanism leading to this scenario and its characteristic properties, like symmetry-breaking and symmetry-recovering as well as emergence of coexisting attractors, are investigated.

In this paper a novel 3-D nonlinear finance chaotic system consisting of two nonlinearities with negative saving term, which is called ‘dissaving’ is presented. The dynamical analysis of the proposed system confirms its complex dynamic behavior, which is studied by using wellknown simulation tools of nonlinear theory, such as the bifurcation diagram, Lyapunov exponents and phase portraits. Also, some interesting phenomena related with nonlinear theory are observed, such as route to chaos through a period doubling sequence and crisis phenomena. In addition, an interesting scheme of adaptive control of finance system’s behavior is presented. Furthermore, the novel nonlinear finance system is emulated by an electronic circuit and its dynamical behavior is studied by using the electronic simulation package Cadence OrCAD in order to confirm the feasibility of the theoretical model.
