This paper presents an experimental study on a base-excited piecewise linear oscillator with symmetrical flexible constrains of high stiffness ratio (above 20). The details of the adopted design of the oscillator, the experimental setup, and calibration procedure are briefly discussed. The regions of chaotic motion predicted theoretically were confirmed by the experimental results arranged into bifurcation diagrams. Clearance, stiffness ratio, amplitude, and frequency of the external force were used as branching parameters. The discussion of the system dynamics is based on bifurcation diagrams and Lissajous curves. The investigated system tends to be periodic for large clearances and chaotic for small ones. This picture is reversed for the amplitude of the forcing changes, where periodic motion occurred for small values and chaos dominated for larger forcing. The same behavior is observed for increasing frequency ratio where, for values below the natural frequency, the most interesting dynamics occurs. For the investigated parameter values, the stiffness ratio variation produces only periodic motion.

A system consisting of a mass attached to a nonlinear spring with negative linear stiffness and cubic nonlinearity, (i.e., a spring obeying Duffing's equation with negative linear stiffness) and a linear spring at a certain offset distance is studied. Melnikov's method is applied to determine the existence of homoclinic points for the Poincare map, and preserved resonant orbits and boundaries for these are given in the parameter space. This system is then compared to the system consisting of only the nonlinear spring with regard to the existence of parameter regimes where chaotic motion is possible. It is shown that if the linear spring is of appropriate stiffness the chaotic motion for a given set of parameter values occurring for the system consisting of only the nonlinear spring is replaced by periodic motion and the mechanism of this phenomenon is explained.

The dynamical characteristics of a gyrostat system with intermittent forcing are investigated, the main work and contributions are given as follows: (1) The gyrostat system with an intermittent forcing is studied, and its dynamical characteristics are investigated by the corresponding Lyapunov exponent spectrums and bifurcation diagrams with respect to the amplitude of intermittent forcing. The modified gyrostat system exists chaotic motion when the amplitude of intermittent forcing belongs to a certain interval, and it can be at a state of stable point or periodic motion by the design of amplitude. (2) The gyrostat system with multiple intermittent forcings is also investigated through the combination of Lyapunov exponent spectrums and bifurcation diagrams, and it behaves periodic motion or chaotic motion when the amplitude or forcing width is different. (3) By the selection of parameters in intermittent forcings, the modified gyrostat system is at a state of stable point, periodic motion or chaotic motion. Numerical simulations verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the modified gyrostat system.

A method of detecting parameter changes using analytical and experimental nonlinear dynamics and chaos is applied to a piecewise-linear oscillator. Experimental data show the chaotic nature of the system through phase portraits, Poincare´ maps, frequency spectra and bifurcation diagrams. Unstable periodic orbits were extracted from each chaotic time series obtained from the system with six different parameter values. Movement of the unstable periodic orbits in phase space is used to detect parameter changes in the system.

This study investigates the use of the differential transform method (DTM) for integrating the Rössler system of the fractional order. Preliminary studies of the integer-order Rössler system, with reference to other well-established integration methods, made it possible to assess the quality of the method and to determine optimal parameter values that should be used when integrating a system with different dynamic characteristics. Bifurcation diagrams obtained for the Rössler fractional system show that, compared to the RK4 scheme-based integration, the DTM results are more resistant to changes in the fractionality of the system.

The current feedback op amps (CFOAs), with some significant advantages over the conventional op amps, have been used instead of voltage op amps (VOAs) in new implementations of Chua's circuit. In our previous study, after providing a comparative investigation of CFOA-based realizations of Chua's circuit in the literature, we have also presented an alternative inductorless CFOA-based realization of Chua's circuit, and the circuit's chaotic behavior by Pspice simulations. In this paper, we investigate CFOA-based Chua's circuit by constructing an experimental setup, and testing the performance of the proposed implementation at different frequencies. Its excellent high frequency performance was experimentally verified.

In order to machine revolving workpieces which are made of difficult-to-cut materials or have low rigidity, the technology of Numerical Controlled Electrochemical Turning (NC-ECT) was put forward and the preliminary experimental study was presented in this paper. To carry out the study, an experimental setup was developed, and a new special kind of inner-spraying cathode with single linear edge was designed according to the process of machining cylindrical surface and the requirement of stable electrolyte flow field. First, the NC-ECT method was simply described. Then, considering the structure of the cathode and the machining process, the method for calculating the material removed depth per revolution in machining the cylindrical surface was given. Finally, the experiments of machining the cylindrical surface were carried out. Experiments showed: 1) The calculated material removed depth per revolution is well consistent with the actual value of the machining process, which decreases with the increase of the rotational speed of the workpiece and increases almost linearly with the increase of the working voltage; 2) The surface roughness decreases with the increase of the rotational speed of the workpiece and the working voltage; 3) The working current in the machining process trend to stable after several revolutions.

The grazing bifurcation and periodic motion switching of the harmonically forced, piecewise linear system with impacting are investigated. The generic mappings relative to the discontinuous boundaries of this piecewise system are introduced. Based on such mappings, the corresponding grazing conditions are obtained. The mapping structures are developed for the analytical prediction of periodic motions in such a system. The local stability and bifurcation conditions for specified periodic motions are obtained. The regular and grazing, periodic motions are illustrated. The grazing is the origin of the periodic motion switching for this system. Such a grazing bifurcation cannot be estimated through the local stability analysis. This model is applicable to prediction of periodic motions in nonlinear dynamics of gear transmission systems.

Abstract In this paper, an experimental forced response analysis for a two degree of freedom piecewise-linear oscillator is discussed. First, a mathematical model of the piecewise linear oscillator is presented. Second, the experimental setup developed for the forced response study is presented. The experimental setup is capable of investigating a two degree of freedom piecewise linear oscillator model. The piecewise linearity is achieved by attaching mechanical stops between two masses that move along common shafts. Forced response tests have been conducted, and the results are presented. Discussion of characteristics of the oscillators are provided based on frequency response, spectrogram, time histories, phase portraits, and Poincaré sections. Period doubling bifurcation has been observed when the excitation frequency changes from a frequency with multiple contacts between the masses to a frequency with single contact between the masses occurs.

A dynamic model of a double-disk rub-impact rotor-bearing system with rubbing fault is established. The dynamic differential equation of the system is solved by combining the numerical integration method with MATLAB. And the influence of rotor speed, disc eccentricity, and stator stiffness on the response of the rotor-bearing system is analyzed. In the rotor system, the time history diagram, the axis locus diagram, the phase diagram, and the Poincaré section diagram in different rotational speeds are drawn. The characteristics of the periodic motion, quasiperiodic motion, and chaotic motion of the system in a given speed range are described in detail. The ways of the system entering and leaving chaos are revealed. The transformation and evolution process of the periodic motion, quasiperiodic motion, and chaotic motion are also analyzed. It shows that the rotor system enters chaos by the way of the period-doubling bifurcation. With the increase of the eccentricity, the quasi-periodicity evolution is chaotic. The quasiperiodic motion evolves into the periodic three motion phenomenon. And the increase of the stator stiffness will reduce the chaotic motion period.
