We established a two-degree non-linear dynamic model to describe the low-frequency vibration of the drum brake, applied the centre manifold theory to simplify the system, and obtained the LCO amplitude by calculating the normal form of the simplified system at the Hopf bifurcation point. It is indicated that when the friction coefficient is smaller than the friction coefficient at the bifurcation point, the amplitude decreases; whereas with a friction coefficient larger than the friction coefficient of bifurcation point, LCO occurs. The results suggest that it is applicable to suppress the LCO amplitude by changing systematic parameters, and thus improve the safety and ride comfort when applying brake. These findings can be applied to guiding the design of drum brakes.展开更多

Using delay T as a parameter and applying the global Hopf bifurcation theorem, we investigate the existence of global Hopf bifurcation for the sunflower equation. Furthermore, we analyze the local Hopf bifurcation of the modified equation with nonlinear relation about stem＇s increase, including the occurrence, the bifurcation direction, the stability and the approximation expression of the bifurcating periodic solution using the theory of normal form and center manifold. Finally, the obtained results of these two equations are compared, which finds that the result about the period of their bifurcating periodic solutions is obviously different, while the bifurcation direction and stability are identical.展开更多
