Complex Dynamics in Physical Pendulum Equation with Suspension Axis Vibrations

The physical pendulum equation with suspension axis vibrations is investigated. By using Melnikov＇s method, we prove the conditions for the existence of chaos under periodic perturbations. By using second-order averaging method and Melinikov＇s method, we give the conditions for the existence of chaos in an averaged system under quasi-periodic perturbations for Ω = nω ＋ εv, n = 1 - 4, where ν is not rational to ω. We are not able to prove the existence of chaos for n = 5 - 15, but show the chaotic behavior for n = 5 by numerical simulation. By numerical simulation we check on our theoretical analysis and further exhibit the complex dynamical behavior, including the bifurcation and reverse bifurcation from period-one to period-two orbits; the onset of chaos, the entire chaotic region without periodic windows, chaotic regions with complex periodic windows or with complex quasi-periodic windows; chaotic behaviors suddenly disappearing, or converting to period-one orbit which means that the system can be stabilized to periodic motion by adjusting bifurcation parameters α, δ, f0 and Ω; and the onset of invariant torus or quasi-periodic behaviors, the entire invariant torus region or quasi-periodic region without periodic window, quasi-periodic behaviors or invariant torus behaviors suddenly disappearing or converting to periodic orbit; and the jumping behaviors which including from period- one orbit to anther period-one orbit, from quasi-periodic set to another quasi-periodic set; and the interleaving occurrence of chaotic behaviors and invariant torus behaviors or quasi-periodic behaviors; and the interior crisis; and the symmetry breaking of period-one orbit; and the different nice chaotic attractors. However, we haven＇t find the cascades of period-doubling bifurcations under the quasi-periodic perturbations and show the differences of dynamical behaviors and technics of research between the periodic perturbations and quasi-periodic perturbations.

Bifurcations of Resonant Solutions and Chaos in Physical Pendulum Equation with Suspension Axis Vibrations

This paper is a continuation of ＂Complex Dynamics in Physical Pendulum Equation with Suspension Axis Vibrations＂[1].In this paper,we investigate the existence and the bifurcations of resonant solution for ω0：ω：Ω ≈ 1：1：n,1：2：n,1：3：n,2：1：n and 3：1：n by using second-order averaging method,give a criterion for the existence of resonant solution for ω0：ω：Ω ≈ 1：m：n by using Melnikov＇s method and verify the theoretical analysis by numerical simulations.By numerical simulation,we expose some other interesting dynamical behaviors including the entire invariant torus region,the cascade of invariant torus behaviors,the entire chaos region without periodic windows,chaotic region with complex periodic windows,the entire period-one orbits region;the jumping behaviors including invariant torus behaviors converting to period-one orbits,from chaos to invariant torus behaviors or from invariant torus behaviors to chaos,from period-one to chaos,from invariant torus behaviors to another invariant torus behaviors;the interior crisis;and the different nice invariant torus attractors and chaotic attractors.The numerical results show the difference of dynamical behaviors for the physical pendulum equation with suspension axis vibrations between the cases under the three frequencies resonant condition and under the periodic/quasi-periodic perturbations.It exhibits many invariant torus behaviors under the resonant conditions.We find a lot of chaotic behaviors which are different from those under the periodic/quasi-periodic perturbations.However,we did not find the cascades of period-doubling bifurcation.
