We presented a novel model which comprises an axial loaded beam bridge subjected to an infinite series of regularly spaced concentrated moving loads. The axial force coupled with the moving loads can lead the vibration of the beam bridge to chaos that drive the system of a given basin and jump to another one, causing damage due to the resulting amplitude jumps. An infinite sequence of moving loads leads to a barrier for conventional nonlinear techniques. The amplification and minification of integral inequality are proposed, which lead to the criteria for chaotic motion directly for the nonlinear system with a half sine pulse excitation avoiding the conventional approximation methods to retain the nature characteristics of the system. The results show the chaotic motion takes place in the system.

We studied chaotic threshold of a nonlinear dynamical system of beam bridge. The amplification and minification of integral inequality are proposed, which lead to the criteria for chaotic motion directly for the nonlinear system with a half sine pulse excitation avoiding the conventional approximation methods to retain the nature characteristics of the system. The efficiency of the criteria for chaotic motion obtained by use of the Melnikov's method is verified via the bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents and numerical simulations.

Abstract The chaotic motion in periodic self-excited oscillators has been extensively investigated through experiments and computer simulations. However, with the advent of the study of chaotic motion by means of strange attractors, Poincar´e map, fractal dimension, it has become necessary to seek for a better understanding of nonlinear system with higher order nonlinear terms. In this paper we consider an extended Duffing-Van der Pol oscillator by introducing a nonlinear quintic term. The dynamical behaviour of the system is investigated by using Melnikov analysis and numerical simulation. The results can help one to understand the essence of given nonlinear system.

In this paper, the midspan deflection of a beam bridge with vehicles passing through the bridge successively is investigated. The midspan deflection can be modeled as the vibration trace of smooth-and-discontinuous (SD) oscillator by considering the mode of the first order and up-and-down vibration. The nonlinear behaviors of the established model are studied and presented. KAM (Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser) structures on the Poincaré section are constructed for the driven system without dissipation with generic KAM curve and a series of resonant points and the surrounding island chains connected by chaotic orbits. Introducing a series of complete elliptic integrals of the first and the second kind, the response curves of the system are detected, to which the effects of parameters are revealed. The relevant dynamics is depicted under external excitation exhibiting period leading to chaos. The efficiency of the bifurcation diagrams obtained in this paper is demonstrated via numerical simulations.

This paper investigates the chaotic motion in forced Duffing oscillator due to linear and nonlinear damping by using Melnikov technique. In particular, the critical value of the forcing amplitude of the nonlinear system is calculated by Melnikov technique. Further, the top Lyapunov exponent of the nonlinear system is evaluated by Wolf’s algorithm to determine whether the chaotic phenomenon of the nonlinear system actually occurs. It is concluded that the chaotic motion of the nonlinear system occurs when the forcing amplitude exceeds the critical value, and the linear and nonlinear damping can generate pronounced effects on the chaotic behavior of the forced Duffing oscillator.

A time-delayed quadratic nonlinear mechanical system can exhibit two coexisting stable bifurcating solutions (SBSs) after two-to-one resonant Hopf bifurcations occur in the corresponding autonomous time-delayed system. One SBS is of small-amplitude and has the Hopf bifurcation frequencies (HBFs), while the other is of large-amplitude and contains the shifted Hopf bifurcation frequencies (the shifted HBFs). When the forcing frequency is tuned to be the sum of two HBFs or the sum of two shifted HBFs, two families of additive resonances can be induced in the forced response. The forced response under the additive resonance related to the HBFs can demonstrate periodic, quasi-periodic and chaotic motion. On the contrary, the forced response under the additive resonance associated with the shifted HBFs may exhibit period-three periodic motion and quasi-periodic motion. Bifurcation diagrams, time trajectories, frequency spectra, phase portraits and Poincaré sections are presented to show periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic motion of the time-delayed nonlinear system under the two families of additive resonances.

This paper discusses the fractional dynamics, and the bifurcation behavior, of a specific nonlinear system that contains a continuous order-distribution. The dynamics of the system are predicted using the describing-function method. General approximation methods are then derived for the continuous order-distribution component. The system is simulated using these approximations, and the results compared with the describing-function predictions. This is believed to be the first observation of chaos in a system with continuous order-distribution.
