Bifurcation and chaos analysis for aeroelastic airfoil with freeplay structural nonlinearity in pitch

The dynamics character of a two degree-of-freedom aeroelastic airfoil with combined freeplay and cubic stiffness nonlinearities in pitch submitted to supersonic and hypersonic flow has been gaining significant attention. The Poincare mapping method and Floquet theory are adopted to analyse the limit cycle oscillation flutter and chaotic motion of this system. The result shows that the limit cycle oscillation flutter can be accurately predicted by the Floquet multiplier. The phase trajectories of both the pitch and plunge motion are obtained and the results show that the plunge motion is much more complex than the pitch motion. It is also proved that initial conditions have important influences on the dynamics character of the airfoil system. In a certain range of airspeed and with the same system parameters, the stable limit cycle oscillation, chaotic and multi-periodic motions can be detected under different initial conditions. The figure of the Poincare section also approves the previous conclusion.

Circuit Implementations,Bifurcations and Chaos of a Novel Fractional-Order Dynamical System

Linear transfer function approximations of the fractional integrators 1Is~ with m ^- 0.80-0.99 with steps of 0.01 are calculated systemically from the fractional order calculus and frequency-domain approximation method. To illustrate the effectiveness for fractional functions, the magnitude Bode diagrams of the actual and approximate transfer functions 1Ism with a slope of -20m dB//decade are depicted. By using the transfer function approxima- tions of the fractional integrators, a new fractional-order nonlinear system is investigated through the bifurcation diagram and Lyapunov exponent. The corresponding circuit of the fractional-order system is designed and the experimental results match perfectly with the numerical simulations.

Bifurcation and dynamic behavior analysis of a rotating cantilever plate in subsonic airflow

Turbo-machineries,as key components,have wide applications in civil,aerospace,and mechanical engineering.By calculating natural frequencies and dynamical deformations,we have explained the rationality of the series form for the aerodynamic force of the blade under the subsonic flow in our earlier studies.In this paper,the subsonic aerodynamic force obtained numerically is applied to the low pressure compressor blade with a low constant rotating speed.The blade is established as a pre-twist and presetting cantilever plate with a rectangular section under combined excitations,including the centrifugal force and the aerodynamic force.In view of the first-order shear deformation theory and von-K′arm′an nonlinear geometric relationship,the nonlinear partial differential dynamical equations for the warping cantilever blade are derived by Hamilton’s principle.The second-order ordinary differential equations are acquired by the Galerkin approach.With consideration of 1:3 internal resonance and 1/2 sub-harmonic resonance,the averaged equation is derived by the asymptotic perturbation methodology.Bifurcation diagrams,phase portraits,waveforms,and power spectrums are numerically obtained to analyze the effects of the first harmonic of the aerodynamic force on nonlinear dynamical responses of the structure.

Magneto-elastic dynamics and bifurcation of rotating annular plate

In this paper, magneto-elastic dynamic behavior, bifurcation, and chaos of a rotating annular thin plate with various boundary conditions are investigated. Based on the thin plate theory and the Maxwell equations, the magneto-elastic dynamic equations of rotating annular plate are derived by means of Hamilton＇s principle. Bessel function as a mode shape function and the Galerkin method are used to achieve the transverse vibration differential equation of the rotating annular plate with different boundary conditions. By numerical analysis, the bifurcation diagrams with magnetic induction, amplitude and frequency of transverse excitation force as the control parameters are respectively plotted under different boundary conditions such as clamped supported sides, simply supported sides, and clamped-one-side combined with simply-anotherside. Poincare′ maps, time history charts, power spectrum charts, and phase diagrams are obtained under certain conditions,and the influence of the bifurcation parameters on the bifurcation and chaos of the system is discussed. The results show that the motion of the system is a complicated and repeated process from multi-periodic motion to quasi-period motion to chaotic motion, which is accompanied by intermittent chaos, when the bifurcation parameters change. If the amplitude of transverse excitation force is bigger or magnetic induction intensity is smaller or boundary constraints level is lower, the system can be more prone to chaos.

Bifurcations and chaos control in a discrete-time biological model

In this papcr,bifurcations and chaos control in a discrete-time Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model have been studied in quadrant-I.It is shown that for all parametric values,model hus boundary equilibria:P00(0,0),Px0(1,0),and the unique positive equilibrium point:P^+xy(d/c,r(c-d)/bc) if c>d.By Linearization method,we explored the local dynamics along with different topological classifications about equilibria.We also explored the boundedness of positive solution,global dynamics,and existence of prime-period and periodic points of the model.It is explored that flip bifurcation occurs about boundary equilibria:Poo(0,0),P.o(1,0),and also there exists a flip bifurcation when parameters of the discrete-time model vary in a small neighborhood of P^+xy(d/c,r(c-d)/bc).Further,it is also explored that about P^+xy(d/c,r(c-d)/bc) the model undergoes a N-S bifurcation,and meanwhile a stable close invariant curves appears.From the perspective of biology,these curves imply that betwecn predator and prey populations,there exist periodic or quasi-periodic oscillations.Some simulations are presented to illustrate not only main results but also reveals the complex dynamics such as the orbits of period-2,3,13,15,17 and 23.The Maximum Lyapunov exponents as well as fractal dimension are computed numeri-cally to justify the chaotic behaviors in the model.Finally,feedback control method is applied to stabilize chaos existing in the model.

Nonlinear dynamic characteristics of piles embedded in rock

The nonlinear dynamic characteristics of a pile embedded in a rock were investigated. Suppose that both the materials of the pile and the soil around the pile obey nonlinear elastic and linear viscoelastic constitutive relations. The nonlinear partial differential equation governing the dynamic characteristics of the pile was first derived. The Galerkin method was used to simplify the equation and to obtain a nonlinear ordinary differential equation. The methods in nonlinear dynamics were employed to solve the simplified dynamical system, and the time-path curves, phase-trajectory diagrams, power spectrum, Poincare sections and bifurcation and chaos diagrams of the motion of the pile were obtained. The effects of parameters on the dynamic characteristics of the system were also considered in detail.

This criterion is an effective method to solve quantitative calculation question of safety margin and stability margin for nonlinear dynamic systems.

Large-Amplitude Oscillations of Hyperelastic Cylindrical Membrane Under Thermal-Mechanical Fields

In this paper,the nonlinear dynamic behaviors of a hyperelastic cylindrical membrane composed of the incompressible Ogden material are examined,where the membrane is subjected to uniformly distributed radial periodic loads at the internal surface and surrounded by a thermal field.A second-order nonlinear differential equation describing the radially symmetric motion of the membrane is obtained.Then,the dynamic characteristics of the system are qualitatively analyzed in terms of different material parameter spaces and ambient tem-peratures.Particularly,for a given constant load,the bifurcation phenomenon of equilibrium points is examined.It is shown that there exists a critical load,and the phase orbits may be the asymmetrie homoclinic orbits of the“oo”type.Moreover,for the system with two centers and one saddle point,the dynamic behaviors of the system show softening phenomena at both centers,but the temperature has opposite effects on the stiffness of the structure.For a given periodically perturbed load superposed on the constant term,some complex dynamic behaviors such as quasiperiodic and chaotic oscillations are analyzed.With the Poincare section and the maximum Lyapunov characteristic exponent,it is found that the ambient temperature could lead to the irregularity and unpredictability of the nonlinear system,and also changes the threshold of chaos.
