The Poincare mapping and the corresponding mapping sections for global motions in a linear system possessing a dead-zone restoring force are developed through the switching planes pertaining to the two constraints. The global periodic motions based on the Poincare mapping are determined, and the analysis for the stability and bifurcation of periodic motion is carried out. From the global periodic motions, the global chaos in such a system is investigated numerically. The bifurcation scenario with varying parameters was presented. The mapping structures of periodic and chaotic motions are discussed. The Poincare mapping sections for global chaos are given for illustration. The grazing phenomenon embedded in chaotic motion is observed.

The nonlinear dynamics of a generalized, piecewise linear oscillator with perfectly plastic impacts is investigated. The generic mappings based on the discontinuous boundaries are constructed. Furthermore, the mapping structures are developed for the analytical prediction of periodic motions of such a system. The stability and bifurcation conditions for specified periodic motions are obtained. The periodic motions and grazing motion are demonstrated. This model is applicable to prediction of periodic motion in nonlinear dynamics of gear transmission systems.

In this paper, the analytical dynamics for singularity, switchability, and bifurcations of a 2-DOF friction-induced oscillator is investigated. The analytical conditions of the domain flow switchability at the boundaries and edges are developed from the theory of discontinuous dynamical systems, and the switchability conditions of boundary flows from domain and edge flows are presented. From the singularity and switchability of flow to the boundary, grazing, sliding and edge bifurcations are obtained. For a better understanding of the motion complexity of such a frictional oscillator, switching sets and mappings are introduced, and mapping structures for periodic motions are adopted. Using an eigenvalue analysis, the stability and bifurcation analysis of periodic motions in the friction-induced system is carried out. Analytical predictions and parameter maps of periodic motions are performed. Illustrations of periodic motions and the analytical conditions are completed. The analytical conditions and methodology can be applied to the multi-degrees-of-freedom frictional oscillators in the same fashion.

Abstract In this paper, periodic motions in an autonomous system with a discontinuous vector field are discussed. The periodic motions are obtained by constructing a set of algebraic equations based on motion mapping structures. The stability of periodic motions is investigated through eigenvalue analysis. The grazing bifurcations are presented by varying the spring stiffness. Once the grazing bifurcation occurs, periodic motions switches from the old motion to a new one. Numerical simulations are conducted for motion illustrations. The parameter study helps one understand autonomous discontinuous dynamical systems.

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.

In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of a simplified van der Pol oscillator are investigated. From the theory of nonsmooth dynamics, the structures of periodic and chaotic motions for such an oscillator are developed via the mapping technique. The periodic motions with a certain mapping structures are predicted analytically for m-cycles with n-periods. Local stability and bifurcation analysis for such motions are carried out. The (m:n)-periodic motions are illustrated. The further investigation of the stable and unstable periodic motions in such a system should be completed. The chaotic motion based on the Levinson donuts should be further discussed.

Nonlinear dynamical behaviors of a train suspension system with impacts are investigated. The suspension system is modelled through an impact model with possible stick between a bolster and two wedges. Based on the mapping structures, periodic motions of such a system are described. To understand the global dynamical behaviors of the train suspension system, system parameter maps are developed. Numerical simulations for periodic and chaotic motions are performed from the parameter maps.

In this paper, the theory of flow switchability for discontinuous dynamical systems is applied. Domains and boundaries for such a discontinuous problem are defined and analytical conditions for motion switching are developed. The conditions explain the important role of switching phase on the motion switchability in such a system. To describe different motions, the generic mappings and mapping structures are introduced. Bifurcation scenarios for periodic and chaotic motions are presented for different motions and switchability. Numerical simulations are provided for periodic motions with impacts only and with impact chatter to stick in the system.

In this paper, periodic motion in an oscillator moving on a periodically vibrating belt with dry-friction is investigated. The conditions of stick and non-stick motions for such an oscillator are obtained in the relative motion frame, and the grazing and stick (or sliding) bifurcations are presented as well. The periodic motions are predicted analytically and numerically, and the analytical prediction is based on the appropriate mapping structures. The eigenvalue analysis of such periodic motions is carried out. The periodic motions are illustrated through the displacement, velocity and force responses in the absolute and relative frames. This investigation provides an efficient method to predict periodic motions of such an oscillator involving dry-friction. The significance of this investigation lies in controlling motion of such friction-induced oscillator in industry.

In this article, the stability of a microbeam under an electric actuation is studied. The electric actuation is induced by applying a voltage between the microbeam and an electrode plate that lies at the opposite side of the microbeam. In microswitches, the electric actuation is applied as a DC voltage, and in microresonators it is applied as a combination of AC—DC voltages. It is assumed that the midplane of the microbeam is stretched when it is deflected. It is also shown that by the altering DC electric actuation as a control parameter in a microswitch system, a stable and an unstable branches of equilibrium solution is observed, which meet each other at a saddle-node bifurcation point. The stability of a microresonator is studied using the phase plane diagram and Poincaré mapping. It is shown that depending on the value of damping factor, AC and DC electric voltages, and other parameters of the microresonator, a periodic solution, a quasi periodic, or a pull-in instability may be realized. The prediction of possible chaotic behaviour for microresonator is studied using the Melnikov theorem. It is shown that although for selected domain of system parameters the Melnikov function is satisfied for occurrence of chaotic behaviour, for theses parameter values the pull-in instability occurs before going into the chaotic behaviour. Briefly, the system does not realize any chaotic behaviour.

Periodic motions in a hysteretically damped, semi-active suspension system are investigated. The Magneto-Rheological damping varying with relative velocity is modeled through a piecewise-linear model. The theory for discontinuous dynamical systems is employed to determine the grazing motions in such a system, and the mapping technique is used to develop the mapping structures of periodic motions. The periodic motions are predicted analytically and verified numerically. The stability and bifurcation analyses of such periodic motions are performed, and the parameters for all possible motions are developed. This model is applicable for the semi-active suspension system with the Magneto-Rheological damper in automobiles. The further investigation on the Magneto-Rheological damping with full nonlinearity should be completed.
