The numerical prediction of chaos and quasi-periodic motion on the homoclinic surface of a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) nonlinear Hamiltonian system is presented through the energy spectrum method. For weak interactions, the analytical conditions for chaotic motion in such a Hamiltonian system are presented through the incremental energy approach. The Poincaré mapping surfaces of chaotic motions for this specific nonlinear Hamiltonian system are illustrated. The chaotic and quasi-periodic motions on the phase planes, displacement subspace (or potential domains), and the velocity subspace (or kinetic energy domains) are illustrated for a better understanding of motion behaviors on the homoclinic surface. Through this investigation, it is observed that the chaotic and quasi-periodic motions almost fill on the homoclinic surface of the 2-DOF nonlinear Hamiltonian system. The resonant-periodic motions for such a system are theoretically countable but numerically inaccessible. Such conclusions are similar to the ones in the KAM theorem even though the KAM theorem is based on the small perturbation.

In this paper, all possible stick and non-stick motions in such a friction-induced oscillator are discussed and the corresponding analytical conditions for the stick and non-stick motions to the traveling belts are presented. The mapping structures are introduced and the periodic motions of the two oscillators are presented through the corresponding mapping structure. Velocity and force responses for stick and non-stick, periodic motions in the 2-DOF friction-induced system are illustrated for a better understanding of the motion complexity in such many degrees of freedom systems.

In this paper, we use the asymptotic perturbation method to investigate the nonlinear oscillation and chaotic dynamic behavior of a simply supported rectangular plate made of functionally graded materials (FGMs). We assume that the plate is made from a mixture of ceramics and metals with continuously varying compositional profile such that the top surface of the plate is ceramic rich, whereas the bottom surface is metal rich. The equations motion of the FGM plate with two-degree-of-freedom under combined parametrical and external excitations are obtained by using Galerkin’s method. Based on the averaged equation obtained by the asymptotic perturbation method, the phase portrait and waveform are used to analyze the periodic and chaotic motions. It is found that the FGM plate exhibits chaotic motions under certain circumstances.

This paper examines the motion of a time-periodic Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom in a neighborhood of trivial equilibrium. It is assumed that the system depends on three parameters, one of which is small; when it has zero value, the system is autonomous. Consideration is given to a set of values of the other two parameters for which, in the autonomous case, two frequencies of small oscillations of the linearized equations of perturbed motion are identical and are integer or half-integer numbers (the case of multiple parametric resonance). It is assumed that the normal form of the quadratic part of the Hamiltonian does not reduce to the sum of squares, i.e., the trivial equilibrium of the system is linearly unstable. Using a number of canonical transformations, the perturbed Hamiltonian of the system is reduced to normal form in terms through degree four in perturbations and up to various degrees in a small parameter (systems of first, second and third approximations). The structure of the regions of stability and instability of trivial equilibrium is investigated, and solutions are obtained to the problems of the existence, number, as well as (linear and nonlinear) stability of the system’s periodic motions analytic in fractional or integer powers of the small parameter. For some cases, conditionally periodic motions of the system are described. As an application, resonant periodic motions of a dynamically symmetric satellite modeled by a rigid body are constructed in a neighborhood of its steady rotation (cylindrical precession) on a weakly elliptic orbit and the problem of their stability is solved.

In this paper, analytical solutions for period-1 motions in a periodically forced, two-degrees-of-freedom system with a nonlinear spring are developed. The stability and bifurcation of the periodic motions are completed by the eigenvalue analysis. Both symmetric and asymmetric periodic motions are found in the system. Analytical solutions of both stable and unstable period-1 are presented. Finally, numerical simulations of stable and unstable motions in the two degrees of freedom systems are presented. The harmonic amplitude spectrums show the harmonic effects on periodic motions, and the corresponding accuracy of approximate analytical solutions can be observed.

The stability and bifurcation of periodic motions in a symmetric two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system is studied by a reduction to a two-dimensional action-angle phase plane, via canonical perturbation theory. The results are used to explain why linear stability analysis will always be indeterminate for the in-phase mode in a class of coupled nonlinear oscillators.

In this paper, periodic motions of a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear oscillator are studied by using general harmonic balanced method. Stable and unstable period-3 motions are obtained. The corresponding stability and bifurcations of the period-3 motions are determined through the eigenvalue analysis. Both symmetric and asymmetric period-3 motions are found in the system with a certain set of parameter. Numerical simulations of both stable and unstable period-3 motions in the two degrees of freedom systems are illustrated. The harmonic amplitude spectra show the harmonic effects on periodic motions, and the corresponding accuracy of approximate analytical solutions can be observed.
