The global bifurcations and multi-pulse chaotic dynamics of a simply supported laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular thin plate under combined parametric and transverse excitations are investigated in this paper for the first time. The formulas of the laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular plate are derived by using the von Karman-type equation, the Reddy’s third-order shear deformation plate theory and the Galerkin’s approach. The extended Melnikov method is improved to enable us to analyze directly the non-autonomous nonlinear dynamical system, which is applied to the non-autonomous governing equations of motion for the laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular thin plate. The results obtained here indicate that the multi-pulse chaotic motions can occur in the laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular thin plate. Numerical simulation is also employed to find the multi-pulse chaotic motions of the laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular thin plate.

The multi-pulse Shilnikov orbits and chaotic dynamics for a parametrically excited, simply supported rectangular buckled thin plate are studied by using the extended Melnikov method. Based on von Karman type equation and the Galerkin’s approach, two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system is obtained for the rectangular thin plate. The extended Melnikov method is directly applied to the non-autonomous governing equations of the thin plate. The results obtained here show that the multipulse chaotic motions can occur in the thin plate.

This paper investigates the multipulse heteroclinic bifurcations and chaotic dynamics of a laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular plate by using an extended Melnikov method in the resonant case. According to the von Karman type equations, Reddy’s third-order shear deformation plate theory, and Hamilton’s principle, the equations of motion are derived for the laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular plate with combined parametric excitations and transverse excitation. The method of multiple scales and Galerkin’s approach are applied to the partial differential governing equation. Then, the four-dimensional averaged equation is obtained for the case of 1 : 3 internal resonance and primary parametric resonance. The extended Melnikov method is used to study the Shilnikov type multipulse heteroclinic bifurcations and chaotic dynamics of the laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular plate. The necessary conditions of the existence for the Shilnikov type multipulse chaotic dynamics are analytically obtained. From the investigation, the geometric structure of the multipulse orbits is described in the four-dimensional phase space. Numerical simulations show that the Shilnikov type multipulse chaotic motions can occur. To sum up, both theoretical and numerical studies suggest that chaos for the Smale horseshoe sense in motion exists for the laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular plate.

In this paper, the bifurcations of subharmonic orbits for a four-dimensional rectangular thin plate with parametrically and externally excitations is considered for the first time. The formulas of the rectangular thin plate are derived by using the von Karman-type equation, the Reddy’s third-order shear deformation plate theory and the Galerkin’s approach. The unperturbed system is composed of two independent planar Hamiltonian systems such that the unperturbed system has a family of periodic orbits. The problem addressed here is the determination of sufficient conditions for some of the periodic orbits to generate subharmonic orbits after periodic perturbations. Thus, based on periodic transformations and Poincaré map the subharmonic Melnikov method is improved to enable us to analyze directly the non-autonomous nonlinear dynamical system, which is applied to the non-autonomous governing equations of motion for the parametrically and externally excited rectangular thin plate. The results obtained here indicate that subharmonic motions can occur in the rectangular thin plate. The method succeeds in establishing the existence of subharmonics in perturbed Hamiltonian systems as well as in discussing their bifurcations. Numerical simulation is also employed to find the subharmonic motions of the parametrically and externally excited rectangular thin plate.

This paper presents an analysis on the nonlinear dynamics and multi-pulse chaotic motions of a simply-supported symmetric cross-ply composite laminated rectangular thin plate with the parametric and forcing excitations. Firstly, based on the Reddy’s three-order shear deformation plate theory and the model of the von Karman type geometric nonlinearity, the nonlinear governing partial differential equations of motion for the composite laminated rectangular thin plate are derived by using the Hamilton’s principle. Then, using the second-order Galerkin discretization approach, the partial differential governing equations of motion are transformed to nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The case of the primary parametric resonance and 1:1 internal resonance is considered. Four-dimensional averaged equation is obtained by using the method of multiple scales. From the averaged equation obtained here, the theory of normal form is used to give the explicit expressions of normal form. Based on normal form, the extended Melnikov method is utilized to analyze the global bifurcations and multi-pulse chaotic dynamics of the composite laminated rectangular thin plate. The results obtained above illustrate the existence of the chaos for the Smale horseshoe sense in a parametrical and forcing excited composite laminated thin plate. The chaotic motions of the composite laminated rectangular thin plate are also found by using numerical simulation. The results of numerical simulation also indicate that there exist different shapes of the multi-pulse chaotic motions for the composite laminated rectangular thin plate.

The extended Melnikov method is improved to investigate the nonautonomous nonlinear dynamical system in Cartesian coordinate. The multipulse chaotic dynamics of a simply supported functionally graded materials (FGM) rectangular plate subjected to transversal and in-plane excitations is investigated in this paper for the first time. The formulas of the FGM rectangular plate are two-degree-of-freedom nonautonomous nonlinear system with coupling of nonlinear terms including several square and cubic terms. The extended Melnikov method is improved to enable us to analyze directly the nonautonomous nonlinear dynamical system of the simply-supported FGM rectangular plate. The results obtained here indicate that multipulse chaotic motions can occur in the simply-supported FGM rectangular plate. Numerical simulation is also employed to find the multipulse chaotic motions of the simply-supported FGM rectangular plate.

Abstract The researches of global bifurcations and chaotic dynamics for high-dimensional nonlinear systems are extremely challenging. In this paper, we study the multi-pulse orbits and chaotic dynamics of an eccentric rotating composite laminated circular cylindrical shell. The four-dimensional averaged equations are obtained by directly using the multiple scales method under the case of the 1:2 internal resonance and principal parametric resonance-1/2 subharmonic resonance. The system is transformed to the averaged equations. From the averaged equation, the theory of normal form is used to find the explicit formulas of normal form. Based on the normal form obtained, the extended Melnikov method is utilized to analyze the multi-pulse global homoclinic bifurcations and chaotic dynamics for the eccentric rotating composite laminated circular cylindrical shell. The analysis of global dynamics indicates that there exist the multi-pulse jumping orbits in the perturbed phase space of the averaged equation. From the averaged equations obtained, the chaotic motions and the Shilnikov type multi-pulse orbits of the eccentric rotating composite laminated circular cylindrical shell are found by using numerical simulation. The results obtained above mean the existence of the chaos for the Smale horseshoe sense for the eccentric rotating composite laminated circular cylindrical shell.

This paper investigates the multipulse global bifurcations and chaotic dynamics for the nonlinear oscillations of the laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular plate by using an energy phase method in the resonant case. Using the von Karman type equations, Reddy’s third-order shear deformation plate theory, and Hamilton’s principle, the equations of motion are derived for the laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular plate with combined parametric excitations and transverse excitation. Applying the method of multiple scales and Galerkin’s approach to the partial differential governing equation, the four-dimensional averaged equation is obtained for the case of 1 : 2 internal resonance and primary parametric resonance. The energy phase method is used for the first time to investigate the Shilnikov type multipulse heteroclinic bifurcations and chaotic dynamics of the laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular plate. The paper demonstrates how to employ the energy phase method to analyze the Shilnikov type multipulse heteroclinic bifurcations and chaotic dynamics of high-dimensional nonlinear systems in engineering applications. Numerical simulations show that for the nonlinear oscillations of the laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular plate, the Shilnikov type multipulse chaotic motions can occur. Overall, both theoretical and numerical studies suggest that chaos for the Smale horseshoe sense in motion exists.
