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.

To describe and analyze the unstable periodic orbits of the Rucklidge system, a so-called symbolic encoding method is introduced, which has been proven to be an efficient tool to explore the topological properties concealed in these periodic orbits. In this work, the unstable periodic orbits up to a certain topological length in the Rucklidge system are systematically investigated via a proposed variational method. The dynamics in the Rucklidge system are explored by using phase portrait analysis, Lyapunov exponents, and Poincaré first return maps. Symbolic encodings of the periodic orbits with two and four letters based on the trajectory topology in the phase space are implemented under two sets of parameter values. Meanwhile, the bifurcations of the periodic orbits are explored, significantly improving the understanding of the dynamics of the Rucklidge system. The multiple-letter symbolic encoding method could also be applicable to other nonlinear dynamical systems.

In this paper, the dynamics of the paradigmatic hyperchaotic oscillator with gyrators introduced by Tamasevicius and co-workers (referred to as the TCMNL oscillator hereafter) is considered. This well known hyperchaotic oscillator with active RC realization of inductors is suitable for integrated circuit implementation. Unlike previous literature based on piecewise-linear approximation methods, I derive a new (smooth) mathematical model based on the Shockley diode equation to explore the dynamics of the oscillator. Various tools for detecting chaos including bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents, frequency spectra, phase portraits and Poincaré sections are exploited to establish the connection between the system parameters and various complex dynamic regimes (e.g. hyperchaos, period-3 doubling bifurcation, coexistence of attractors, transient chaos) of the hyperchaotic oscillator. One of the most interesting and striking features of this oscillator discovered/revealed in this work is the coexistence of a hyperchaotic attractor with a chaotic one over a broad range of system parameters. This phenomenon was not reported previously and therefore represents a meaningful contribution to the understanding of the behavior of nonlinear dynamical systems in general. A close agreement is observed between theoretical and experimental analyses.

This study employed a variety of nonlinear dynamic analysis techniques to explore the complex phenomena associated with a nonlinear mathematical model of an active magnetic bearing (AMB) system. The aim was to develop a method with which to assume control over chaotic behavior. The bifurcation diagram comprehensively explicates rich nonlinear dynamics over a range of parameter values. In this study, we examined the complex nonlinear behaviors of AMB systems using phase portraits, Poincaré maps, and frequency spectra. Furthermore, estimates of the largest Lyapunov exponent based on the properties of synchronization confirmed the occurrence of chatter vibration indicative of chaotic motion. Thus, the proposed continuous feedback control approach based on synchronization characteristics eliminates chaotic oscillations. Finally, some simulation results demonstrated the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed control scheme.

In this analysis, we consider the dynamics of a pendulum under vertical excitation of a crank-shaft-slider mechanism. The nonlinear model approaches that of a classical parametrically excited pendulum when the ratio of the length of the shaft to the radius of the crank is very large. Numerical techniques are employed to investigate the results for different parameters and initial conditions. Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation diagrams, time histories and phase portraits are presented to explore conditions when the pendulum performs or not full rotations. Of special interest are the resonance regions. Rotations together with oscillations and chaos were observed in some resonance zones.

Simple maps and dynamical systems are used to explore chaos in nature. The discussion starts with a review of the properties of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, including the useful concepts of phase portraits, fixed points, and limit cycles. These notions are developed further in an examination of iterative maps that reveal chaotic behavior. Next, the damped driven oscillator is used to illustrate the Lyapunov exponent that can be used to quantify chaos. The famous KAM theorem on the conditions under which chaotic behavior occurs in physical systems is also presented. The principle is illustrated with the Hénon-Heiles model of a star in a galactic environment and billiard models that describe the motion of balls in closed two-dimensional regions.

In this paper, we extend our previous template analysis of a self-exciting Faraday disc dynamo with a linear series motor to the case of a nonlinear series motor. This introduces two additional nonlinear symmetry-breaking terms into the governing dynamo equations. We investigate the consequences for the identification of a possible template on which the unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) lie. By computing Gauss linking numbers between pairs of UPOs, we show that their values are not incompatible with those for a template for the Lorenz attractor for its classic parameter values.

A geometric model for the Duffing oscillator is constructed by analyzing the unstable periodic orbits underlying the chaotic attractors present at particular parameter values. A template is constructed from observations of the motion of the chaotic attractor in a Poincaré section as the section is swept for one full period. The periodic orbits underlying the chaotic attractor are found and their linking numbers are computed. These are compared with the linking numbers from the template and the symbolic dynamics of the orbits are identified. This comparison is used to validate the template identification and label the orbits by their symbolic dynamics.

We examine crisis phenomena for a map that is piecewise linear and depend continuously of a parameter λ0. There are two straight lines Γ+ and Γ− along which the map is continuous but has two one-sided derivatives. As the parameter λ0 is varied, a periodic orbit Ƶp may collide with the borders Γ+ and Γ− to disappear. While in most reported crisis structures, a chaotic attractor is destroyed by the presence of (homoclinic or heteroclinic) tangencies between unstable periodic orbits, in this case the chaotic attractor is destroyed by the birth of an attracting periodic orbit Ƶp into that of attraction of the chaotic set. The birth of Ƶp is due to a border-collision phenomenon taking place at Γ+ ∪Γ−.

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.

The memristor is supposed to be the fourth fundamental electronic element in addition to the well-known resistor, inductor and capacitor. Named as a contraction for memory resistor, its theoretical existence was postulated in 1971 by L. O. Chua, based on symmetrical and logical properties observed in some electronic circuits. On the other hand its physical realization was announced only recently in a paper published on May 2008 issue of Nature by a research team from Hewlett–Packard Company. In this work, we present the bifurcation analysis of two memristor oscillators mathematical models, given by three-dimensional five-parameter piecewise-linear and cubic systems of ordinary differential equations. We show that depending on the parameter values, the systems may present the coexistence of both infinitely many stable periodic orbits and stable equilibrium points. The periodic orbits arise from the change in local stability of equilibrium points on a line of equilibria, for a fixed set of parameter values. This phenomenon is a kind of Hopf bifurcation without parameters. We have numerical evidences that such stable periodic orbits form an invariant surface, which is an attractor of the systems solutions. The results obtained imply that even for a fixed set of parameters the two systems studied may or may not present oscillations, depending on the initial condition considered in the phase space. Moreover, when they exist, the amplitude of the oscillations also depends on the initial conditions.
