forming limit diagram (fld) is an important diagram by which the formability of sheet metals is studied. strain rate is a very effective parameter influencing the fld which is, in turn, influenced by the forming velocity. in this work, forming limit diagram for st14 was investigated both experimentally and numerically. in addition, the effect of forming velocity was studied and the experiments ...

The bifurcation analysis of a composite beam subjected to harmonic flapwise base excitation is studied when the ratio of flapwise and chordwise internal resonances is 1:2. Results are obtained by the numerical solution of modulation equations. Chracteristics of the response are investigated in terms of time history, phase portraits diagrams and bifurcation diagram of poincare maps. It is observ...

A method to determine the static bifurcation diagram (sbd) and dynamical bifurcation diagram (dbd) is proposed and the results for a few concrete problems are shown.

In this paper, a duopoly game model with double delays in hydropower market is established, and the research focus on the influence of time delay parameter on the complexity of the system. Firstly, we established a game model for the enterprises considering both the current and the historical output when making decisions. Secondly, the existence and stability of Hopf bifurcation are analyzed, a...

We study the bifurcation diagram of the Rössler system. It displays the various dynamical regimes of the system (stable or chaotic) when a parameter is varied. We choose a diagram that exhibits coexisting attractors and banded chaos. We use the topological characterization method to study these attractors. Then, we detail how the templates of these attractors are subtemplates of a unique templa...

Bifurcation tailoring is a method developed to design control laws modifying the bifurcation diagram of a nonlinear dynamical system to a desired one. In its original formulation, this method does not account for the possible presence of constraints on state and/or manipulated inputs. In this paper, a novel formulation of the bifurcation tailoring method overcoming this limitation is presented....

We consider localized states in a discrete bistable Allen-Cahn equation. This model equation combines bistability and local cell-to-cell coupling in the simplest possible way. The existence of stable localized states is made possible by pinning to the underlying lattice; they do not exist in the equivalent continuum equation. In particular we address the existence of ‘isolas’: closed curves of ...

We study the bifurcation diagram of a mesoscopic model of the human cortex. This model is known to exhibit robust chaotic behavior in the space of parameters that model exterior forcing. We show that the bifurcation diagram has an unusual degree of organization. In particular, we show that the chaos is spawned by a codimension-one homoclinic bifurcation that was analyzed by Shilnikov in 1969 bu...
