Two criteria .for determining theexistence of transversal homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits are presented. By exploitingthese criteria the existence of the transversal homoclinic orbits and so, of thetransversal homoclinic tangle .phenomenon in the near-integrable circular planarrestricted three-body problem with sufficiently small mass ratio of the two primaries isproven. Under some assumptions, the existence of the transversal heleroclinic orbits isproven. The global qualitative phase diagram is also illustrated.

CHAOTIC BEHAVIOR ON REDUCTION OF PERTURBED KdV EQUATION IN FORM OF PARAMETRIC EXCITATION

The chaotic dynamic behaviors of a reduction of perturbed Korteweg-de Vries （KdV） equation in form of a parametric excitation are studied. Chaotic behaviors from homoclinic crossings are analyzed with an improved Melnikov method and are compared for the systems with a periodically external excitation, with a linear periodically parametric excitation, or with a nonlinear periodically excitation. The critical curves separating chaotic regions and non-chaotic regions of the above systems are different from each other. Especially, a dead frequency is presented for the system with a nonlinear periodically parametric excitation. The chaos excited at the frequency does not occur no matter how large the excitation amplitude is. A time integration scheme is used to find the numerical solutions of these systems. Numerical results agree with the analytical ones.

Global Dynamic Characteristic of Nonlinear Torsional Vibration System under Harmonically Excitation

Torsional vibration generally causes serious instability and damage problems in many rotating machinery parts. The global dynamic characteristic of nonlinear torsional vibration system with nonlinear rigidity and nonlinear friction force is investigated. On the basis of the generalized dissipation Lagrange＇s equation, the dynamics equation of nonlinear torsional vibration system is deduced. The bifurcation and chaotic motion in the system subjected to an external harmonic excitation is studied by theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. The stability of unperturbed system is analyzed by using the stability theory of equilibrium positions of Hamiltonian systems. The criterion of existence of chaos phenomena under a periodic perturbation is given by means of Melnikov＇s method. It is shown that the existence of homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits in the unperturbed system implies chaos arising from breaking of homoclinic or heteroclinic orbits under perturbation. The validity of the result is checked numerically. Periodic doubling bifurcation route to chaos, quasi-periodic route to chaos, intermittency route to chaos are found to occur due to the amplitude varying in some range. The evolution of system dynamic responses is demonstrated in detail by Poincare maps and bifurcation diagrams when the system undergoes a sequence of periodic doubling or quasi-periodic bifurcations to chaos. The conclusion can provide reference for deeply researching the dynamic behavior of mechanical drive systems.

Global Geometric Analysis of Ship Rolling and Capsizing in Random Waves

The nonlinear biased ship rolling motion and capsizing in randoro waves are studied by utilizing a global geometric method. Thompson＇ s α-parameterized family of restoring functions is adopted in the vessel equation of motion for the representation of bias. To take into account the presence of randomness in the excitation and the response, a stochastic Melnikov method is developed and a mean-square criterion is obtained to provide an upper bound on the domain of the potential chaotic rolling motion. This criterion can be used to predict the qualitative nature of the invariant manifolds which represent the boundary botween safe and unsafe initial conditions, and how these depend on system parameters of the specific ship model. Phase space transport theory and lobe dynamics are used to demonstrate how motions starting from initial conditions inside the regions bounded by the intersected manifolds will evolve and how unexpected capsizing can occur.

Crystalline undulator radiation and sub-harmonic bifurcation of system

Looking for new light sources, especially short wavelength laser light sources has attracted widespread attention. This paper analytically describes the radiation of a crystalline undulator field by the sine-squared potential. In the classical mechanics and the dipole approximation, the motion equation of a particle is reduced to a generalized pendulum equation with a damping term and a forcing term. The bifurcation behavior of periodic orbits is analyzed by using the Melnikov method and the numerical method, and the stability of the system is discussed. The results show that, in principle, the stability of the system relates to its parameters, and only by adjusting these parameters appropriately can the occurrence of bifurcation be avoided or suppressed.

Homoclinic and heteroclinic chaos in nonlinear systems driven by trichotomous noise

The homoclinic and heteroclinic chaos in nonlinear systems subjected to trichotomous noise excitation are studied. The Duffing system and the Josephson-junction system are taken for example to calculate the corresponding amplitude thresholds for the onset of chaos on the basis of the stochastic Melnikov process with the mean-square criterion. It is shown that the amplitude threshold for the onset of chaos can be adjusted by changing the internal parameters of trichotomous noise, thereby inducing or suppressing chaotic behaviors in the two systems driven by trichotomous noise. The effects of trichotomous noise on the systems are verified by vanishing the mean largest Lyapunov exponent and demonstrated by phase diagrams and time histories.

The critical condition that the system enters chaotic states is given by the Melnikov method. By Poincaré map, phase portrait and time_displacement history diagram, whether the chaos occurs is determined.

CHAOS IN PERTURBED PLANAR NON-HAMILTONIAN INTEGRABLE SYSTEMS WITH SLOWLY-VARYINGANGLE PARAMETERS

The Melnikov method was extended to perturbed planar non-Hamiltonian integrable systems with slowly-varying angle parameters. Based on the analysis of the geometric structure of unperturbed systems, the condition of transversely homoclinic intersection was established. The generalized Melnikov function of the perturbed system was presented by applying the theorem on the differentiability of ordinary differential equation solutions with respect to parameters. Chaos may occur in the system if the generalized Melnikov function has simple zeros.

Nonlinear dynamics of a classical rotating pendulum system with multiple excitations

We report an attempt to reveal the nonlinear dynamic behavior of a classical rotating pendulum system subjected to combined excitations of constant force and periodic excitation.The unperturbed system characterized by strong irrational nonlinearity bears significant similarities to the coupling of a simple pendulum and a smooth and discontinuous(SD)oscillator,especially the phase trajectory with coexistence of Duffing-type and pendulum-type homoclinic orbits.In order to learn the effect of constant force on this pendulum system,all types of phase portraits are displayed by means of the Hamiltonian function with large constant excitation especially the transitions of complex singular closed orbits.Under sufficiently small perturbations of the viscous damping and constant excitation,the Melnikov method is used to analyze the global structure of the phase space and the feature of trajectories.It is shown,both theoretically and numerically,that this system undergoes a homoclinic bifurcation and then bifurcates a unique attracting rotating limit cycle.Finally,the estimation of the chaotic threshold of the rotating pendulum system with multiple excitations is calculated and the predicted periodic and chaotic motions can be shown by applying numerical simulations.

NOISE-INDUCED CHAOTIC MOTIONS IN HAMILTONIAN SYSTEMS WITH SLOW-VARYING PARAMETERS

This paper studies chaotic motions in quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems with slow-varying parameters under both harmonic and noise excitations. Based on the dynamic theory and some assumptions of excited noises, an extended form of the stochastic Melnikov method is presented. Using this extended method, the homoclinic bifurcations and chaotic behavior of a nonlinear Hamiltonian system with weak feed-back control under both harmonic and Gaussian white noise excitations are analyzed in detail. It is shown that the addition of stochastic excitations can make the parameter threshold value for the occurrence of chaotic motions vary in a wider region. Therefore, chaotic motions may arise easily in the system. By the Monte-Carlo method, the numerical results for the time-history and the maximum Lyapunov exponents of an example system are finally given to illustrate that the presented method is effective.

ANALYSIS OF BREATHER STATE IN THIN BAR BY USING COLLECTIVE COORDINATE

Considering Peierls-Nabarro （P-N） force and viscous effect of material, the dynamic behavior of one-dimensional infinite metallic thin bar subjected to axially periodic load is investigated. Governing equation, which is sine-Gordon type equation, is derived. By means of collective-coordinates, the partial equation can be reduced to ordinary differential dynamical system to describe motion of breather. Nonlinear dynamic analysis shows that the amplitude and frequency of P-N force would influence positions of hyperbolic saddle points and change subharmonic bifurcation point, while the path to chaos through odd subharmonic bifurcations remains. Several examples are taken to indicate the effects of amplitude and period of P-N force on the dynamical response of the bar. The simulation states that the area of chaos is half-infinite. This area increases along with enhancement of the amplitude of P-N force. And the frequency of P-N force has similar influence on the system.

Chaotic motions of the L-mode to H-mode transition model in tokamak

The chaotic dynamics of the transport equation for the L-mode to H-mode near the plasma in a tokamak is studied in detail with the Melnikov method. The transport equations represent a system with external and parametric excitation. The critical curves separating the chaotic regions and nonchaotic regions are presented for the system with periodically external excitation and linear parametric excitation, or cubic parametric excitation, respectively. The results obtained here show that there exist uncontrollable regions in which chaos always take place via heteroclinic bifurcation for the system with linear or cubic parametric excitation. Especially, there exists a controllable frequency, excited at which chaos does not occur via homoclinic bifurcation no matter how large the excitation amplitude is for the system with cubic parametric excitation. Some complicated dynamical behaviors are obtained for this class of systems.

Exponential synchronization for delayed nonlinear Schr?dinger equation and applications in optical secure communication

For further exploring the confidentiality of optical communication,exponential synchronization for the delayed nonlinear Schrodinger equation is studied.It is possible for time-delay systems to generate multiple positive Lyapunov exponents without the limitation of system dimension.Firstly,the homoclinic orbit analysis is carried out by using the bifurcation theory,and it is found that there are two homoclinic orbits in the system.According to the corresponding relationship,solitary waves also exist in the system.Secondly,the Melnikov method is used to prove that homoclinic orbits can evolve into chaos under arbitrary perturbations,and then chaotic signals are used as the carriers of information transmission.The Lyapunov exponent spectrum,phase diagram and time series of the system also prove the existence of chaos.Thirdly,an exponential synchronization controller is designed to achieve the chaotic synchronization between the driving system and the response system,and it is proved by the Lyapunov stability theory.Finally,the error system is simulated by using MATLAB,and it is found that the error tends to zero in a very short time.Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed exponential synchronization scheme can effectively guarantee the chaotic synchronization within 1 s.

Dynamics in Two Periodically Driven and Weakly Coupled Bose-Einstein Condensates

In this paper, dynamics in the oscillations of the relative atomic population in two periodically driven and weakly coupled Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) was qualitatively studied. Using the well-known Melnikov method, the conditions of existence of the periodic and chaotic coherent atomic tunnellings were given in the model. Our results indicate the typical route from bifurcation of the limited circles to chaos, and are in agreement with the previous numerical results.

Complex dynamical behaviors of compact solitary waves in the perturbed mKdV equation

In this paper, we give a detailed discussion about the dynamical behaviors of compact solitary waves subjected to the periodic perturbation. By using the phase portrait theory, we find one of the nonsmooth solitary waves of the mKdV equation, namely, a compact solitary wave, to be a weak solution, which can be proved. It is shown that the compact solitary wave easily turns chaotic from the Melnikov theory. We focus on the sufficient conditions by keeping the system stable through selecting a suitable controller. Furthermore, we discuss the chaotic threshold for a perturbed system. Numerical simulations including chaotic thresholds, bifurcation diagrams, the maximum Lyapunov exponents, and phase portraits demonstrate that there exists a special frequency which has a great influence on our system; with the increase of the controller strength, chaos disappears in the perturbed system. But if the controller strength is sufficiently large, the solitary wave vibrates violently.

BIFURCATION IN A PARAMETRICALLY EXCITED TWO-DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM NONLINEAR OSCILLATING SYSTEM WITH 1∶2 INTERNAL RESONANCE

The nonlinear response of a two_degree_of_freedom nonlinear oscillating system to parametric excitation is examined for the case of 1∶2 internal resonance and, principal parametric resonance with respect to the lower mode. The method of multiple scales is used to derive four first_order autonomous ordinary differential equations for the modulation of the amplitudes and phases. The steady_state solutions of the modulated equations and their stability are investigated. The trivial solutions lose their stability through pitchfork bifurcation giving rise to coupled mode solutions. The Melnikov method is used to study the global bifurcation behavior, the critical parameter is determined at which the dynamical system possesses a Smale horseshoe type of chaos.

Global bifurcations and multi-pulse chaotic dynamics of rectangular thin plate with one-to-one internal resonance

Global bifurcations and multi-pulse chaotic dynamics for a simply supported rectangular thin plate are studied by the extended Melnikov method. The rectangular thin plate is subject to transversal and in-plane excitation. A two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear nonautonomous system governing equations of motion for the rectangular thin plate is derived by the von Karman type equation and the Galerkin approach. A one-to- one internal resonance is considered. An averaged equation is obtained with a multi-scale method. After transforming the averaged equation into a standard form, the extended Melnikov method is used to show the existence of multi-pulse chaotic dynamics, which can be used to explain the mechanism of modal interactions of thin plates. A method for calculating the Melnikov function is given without an explicit analytical expression of homoclinic orbits. Furthermore, restrictions on the damping, excitation, and detuning parameters are obtained, under which the multi-pulse chaotic dynamics is expected. The results of numerical simulations are also given to indicate the existence of small amplitude multi-pulse chaotic responses for the rectangular thin plate.
