The normal forms of this system in 1 :2 internal resonance were derived by using the direct method of normal form. In the normal,forms, quadratic and cubic nonlinearities were remained. Based on a new convenient transformation technique, the 4-dimension bifurcation equations were reduced to 3-dimension. A bifurcation equation with one-dimension was obtained. Then the bifurcation behaviors of a universal unfolding were studied by using the singularity theory. The method of this paper can be applied to analyze the bifurcation behavior in strong internal resonance on 4-dimension center manifolds.展开更多

The components of the vibrating system collide with each other. Such models play an important role in the studies of dynamics of mechanical systems with impacting components. The Poincaré section associated with the state of the impact-forming system, just immediately after the impact, is chosen, and the period n single-impact motion and its disturbed map are derived analytically. A center manifold theorem technique is applied to reduce the Poincaré map to a two-dimensional map, and the normal form map associated with codimension two bifurcation of 1：2 resonance is obtained, Unfolding of the normal form map is analyzed. Dynamical behavior of the impact-forming system, near the point of codimension two bifurcation, is investigated by using qualitative analyses and numerical simulation. Near the point of codimension two bifurcation there exists not only Neimark-Sacker bifurcation associated with period one single-impact motion, but also Neimark-Sacker bifurcation of period two double-impact motion. Transition of different forms of fixed points of single-impact periodic orbits, near the bifurcation point, is demonstrated, and different routes from periodic impact motions to chaos are also discussed.展开更多

The empirical parameters of gas exciting force of the Muszynska model are obtained by using the results of computational fluid dynamics （CFD）. Based on the multiple scale method, the 1：2 subharmonic resonance response of the dynamic system is gained by truncating the system with three orders. The transition sets and the local bifurcations diagrams of the dynamics system are presented by employing the singular theory analysis. Meanwhile, the existence conditions of subharmonic resonance non-zero solutions of the dynamic system are obtained, which provides a new theoretical basis in recognizing and protecting the rotor from the subharmonic resonant failure in the turbine machinery.展开更多
