Impulsive periodic and quasi-periodic orbits of coupled oscillators with essential stiffness nonlinearity

چکیده
We study the impulsive responses of a grounded linear oscillator coupled to a light nonlinear attachment through an essentially nonlinear (nonlinearizable) stiffness. We analyze the periodic and quasi-periodic dynamics of the undamped system forced by a single impulse on the linear oscillator and being initially at rest, by considering separately low-, moderateand high-energy impulsive motions. The motivation for studying the impulsive dynamics of this system centers on passive targeted energy transfer properties of the corresponding weakly damped one, that is, of the possibility of one-way, irreversible transfer of energy from the linear oscillator to the nonlinear attachment. A rather surprising aspect of this work is the complexity of the analysis required to study the impulsive dynamics of this system, due to its high degeneracy, as it undergoes a co-dimension three bifurcation. 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

Transitional Dynamics and Quasi-Periodic Solution Observed in Two Asymmetrical Coupled Oscillators
In this paper, we investigate the transitional dynamics and quasi-periodic solution appearing after the Saddle-Node (SN) bifurcation of a periodic solution in an inductor-coupled asymmetrical van der Pol oscillators with hard-type nonlinearity. In particular, we elucidate, by investigating global bifurcation of unstable manifold (UM) of saddles, that transitional dynamics and quasi-periodic sol...
متن کاملDynamics of relay relaxation oscillators
Relaxation oscillators can usually be represented as a feedback system with hysteresis. The relay relaxation oscillator consists of relay hysteresis and a linear system in feedback. The objective of this work is to study the existence of periodic orbits and the dynamics of coupled relay oscillators. In particular, we give a complete analysis for the case of unimodal periodic orbits, and illustr...
متن کاملDelay stabilization of periodic orbits in coupled oscillator systems.
We study diffusively coupled oscillators in Hopf normal form. By introducing a non-invasive delay coupling, we are able to stabilize the inherently unstable anti-phase orbits. For the super- and subcritical cases, we state a condition on the oscillator's nonlinearity that is necessary and sufficient to find coupling parameters for successful stabilization. We prove these conditions and review p...
متن کاملRole of unstable periodic orbits in phase and lag synchronization between coupled chaotic oscillators.
An increase of the coupling strength in the system of two coupled Rössler oscillators leads from a nonsynchronized state through phase synchronization to the regime of lag synchronization. The role of unstable periodic orbits in these transitions is investigated. Changes in the structure of attracting sets are discussed. We demonstrate that the onset of phase synchronization is related to phase...
متن کاملStochastic switching in delay-coupled oscillators.
A delay is known to induce multistability in periodic systems. Under influence of noise, coupled oscillators can switch between coexistent orbits with different frequencies and different oscillation patterns. For coupled phase oscillators we reduce the delay system to a nondelayed Langevin equation, which allows us to analytically compute the distribution of frequencies and their corresponding ...
