Abstract (In Greek)

Στην παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή μελετάμε ένα σύστημα τριών συζευγμένων ταλαντωτών με τριβή, δύο γραμμικών με έναν μη γραμμικό. Τέτοια συστήματα ταλαντωτών έχουν μεγάλο ενδιαφέρον ιδιαίτερα όταν η μάζα του μη γραμμικού ταλαντωτή είναι πολύ μικρότερη από τους γραμμικούς με συνέπεια ο μη γραμμικός ταλαντωτής να λειτουργεί ως καταβόθρα ενέργειας. Αυτού του είδους τα συστήματα, στα οποία συνυπάρχουν ένας αργός και ένας γρήγορος χρόνος μπορούν να μελετηθούν με τη βοήθεια της singularity analysis, των αναλλοίωτων πολλαπλοτήτων, ενώ σημαντική πληροφορία για τη δυναμική του συστήματος δίνεται και από την δυναμική της αργής ροής (Slow Flow) του συστήματος. Στην παρούσα διατριβή μελετάμε το σύστημα μέσω της μελέτης της αργής αναλλοίωτης πολλαπλότητας (Slow Invariant Manifold- SIM-). Με τη βοήθεια του θεωρήματος του Tikhonov κατηγοριοποιούμε τις διάφορες περιπτώσεις της αργής αναλλοίωτης πολλαπλότητας και ορίζουμε αναλυτικά τις συνθήκες με τις οποίες μπορούμε να οδηγηθούμε στην κάθε περίπτωση. Σε επόμενο βήμα μελετάμε την δυναμική της αργής ροής και παρατηρούμε ότι η δυναμική της είναι πλούσια αφού οι τροχιές της μπορούν να είναι κανονικές, να κάνουν ταλαντώσεις ηρεμίας (relaxation oscillations), ή να είναι χαοτικές. Από την μελέτη της ενέργειας που αποθηκεύεται στον μη γραμμικό ταλαντωτή και από τον ρυθμό απόσβεσης της συνολικής ενέργειας του συστήματος παρατηρούμε ότι τόσο η ύπαρξη διακλαδώσεων της αργής αναλλοίωτης πολλαπλότητας, όσο και η δυναμική της αργής ροής παίζουν καθοριστικό ρόλο στην μεταφορά ενέργειας από τον γραμμικό στον μη γραμμικό ταλαντωτή. Επίσης, στις περιπτώσεις που βλέπουμε μεταφορά ενέργειας παρατηρούμε ότι ο ρυθμός απόσβεσης της συνολικής ενέργειας του συστήματος είναι μεγαλύτερος από τον ρυθμό απόσβεσης όταν δεν μεταφέρεται ενέργεια στον μη γραμμικό ταλαντωτή. Η μελέτη του συστήματος των τριών συζευγμένων ταλαντωτών κλείνει με την πρόταση ενός μη γραμμικού ηλεκτρικου κυκλώματος το οποίο υλοποιεί την μη γραμμική διαφορική εξίσωση δεύτερης τάξης με την οποία προσεγγίσαμε το αρχικό σύστημα. Το συγκεκριμένο κύκλωμα έχει ενδιαφέρον γιατί μας δίνει τη δυνατότητα να μελετήσουμε και πειραματικά διάφορα από τα φαινόμενα που είδαμε στην θεωρητική μας ανάλυση.

Prologue

I was introduced to the subject of this thesis by the late Associate Proffessor of the department of Physics, Simos Ichtiaroglou. Simos Ichtiaroglou participated in the second International Conference on Nonlinear Normal Modes and Localization in Vibrating Systems that took place in Samos at 2006, where he attended a number of paper presentations related to targeted energy transfer. So, when we were discussing the topic of my thesis he proposed to me and to Assistant Professor Efi Meletlidou to work on energy transfer and dissipation because he considered it interesting. The topic was indeed interesting. It included rich theoretical study and practical applications, so we decided to start work on it. The specific system composed of two coupled linear oscillators and a nonlinear oscillator that interacts through an essential nonlinearity with one of the linear oscillators was proposed by proffessor Alex Vakakis in the Euromech Colloquium 503 - Nonlinear Normal Modes, Dimension Reduction and Localization in Vibrating Systems- that took place in Frascati(Rome) at 2009. The work on this thesis was both interesting and challenging. It was interesting because I came into contact with new theories and tools, such as the singular perturbation theory, the multiple scale analysis, the complexification- averaging technique etc... that I was not taught neither in my undergraduate nor graduate studies. It was also interesting because I came into contact with other scientific fields, such as engineering, and I learned a lot of new things, as for example, how we can implement a nonlinear-cubic- term in a mechanical structure. It was challenging, mainly, because there was no financial support and I was obliged to work all the years of my doctoral dissertation outside the university. Our work resulted in four publications in peer reviewed international journals. The first paper is titled “The effect of slow flow dynamics on the oscillations of a singular damped system with an essentially nonlinear attachment” and it was published in the Journal of Applied Nonlinear dynamics in 2013. The second paper is titled “Analytical Homoclinic Solution of a Two-Dimensional Nonlinear System of Differential Equations” and it was published in the

7 Journal of Nonlinear Dynamics in 2013. The third paper is titled “The Study of a Nonlinear Duffing - Type Oscillator Driven by Two Voltage Sources” and it was published in Journal of Engineering Science and Technology Review in 2013. Finaly the fourth paper is titled “The dynamics of the slow flow of a singular damped nonlinear system and its Parametric Study” and it is accepted for publication in the Journal of Applied Nonlinear Dynamics.

This doctorate thesis marks the end of a stage and the begining of a new one in my life. It is therefore for reasoning.

Introduction

Oscillations are seen in many phenomena in nature and used in many mechanical, electrical, biological and other applications. There are many studies concerning oscillations. In our work we focused in studying a singular system of linear and nonlinear oscillators because in such systems the phenomenon of energy transfer occurs. The one way directed energy transfer from an initial system (donor) to a final system (receptor) is called Targeted Energy Transfer [63] and it plays an important role in many physical phenomena. In biology, it plays a role in the process of energy transfer during the photosynthesis, that is, the energy from the Sun is captured by photobiological antenna chromophores and is then transfered to reaction centers through a series of interactions between chromofore units. In dynamics, on systems of nonlinear oscillators where the energy transfers from linear to nonlinear oscillators. In materials, on applications of superconductivity etc. An important application of the Targeted Energy Transfer is the development of reliable and efficient energy harvesting devices, which can collect energy from various external sources and make use of it. Such examples have been studied on mechanical systems that convert external oscillations into useful electrical energy [63]. The main mechanism behind the Targeted Energy Transfer is the resonances between the donor and the receptor [54, 55]. Particularly, in the case of a single mode energy attractors, the energy transfer occurs in a restricted band of frequencies that are related with the given frequency of the system. In the present thesis we will deal with mechanical systems connected to a local attachment possessing essential stiffness nonlinearity (commonly, purely cubic spring). The addition of such nonlinear attachments to the linear systems significantly effect the overall dynamics of the system. The basic reason of this impact is the lack of preferential resonance frequency of the nonlinear attachment. This enables the nonlinear attachment to engage in nonlinear resonance with any mode of the linear system, giving the ability of resonances over a broad frequency range.

15 This property of the local attachment with essential stiffness nonlinearity gives the ability to use such attachments as Nonlinear Energy Sinks (NESs). Indeed, under certain initial conditions a one-way, irreversible (on the average) flow of energy from the linear to the nonlinear attachment occurs. This phenomenon is called nonlinear Targeted Energy Transfer. The Nonlinear Energy Sink may participate in a set of transitive nonlinear resonances. Depending on the instantaneous energy level the Nonlinear Energy Sink transitionally tunes, for a finite time, and exports energy. Then “escapes” from this resonance because of energy dissipation and participates in another transitional tune with a different frequency level. The control parameter of this procedure is the instantaneous energy level of the system. The Nonlinear Energy Sink can be adjusted in a way that it will firstly extract energy from rich energy states and then tuned in a way to extract energy from states with less energy. This makes it particularly suitable in practical applications, where it is necessary to extract energy from multiple ways of oscillation. The cause of this behavior of the Nonlinear Energy Sink lies in the fact that the addition of an essential nonlinear attachment to the linear system introduces high degeneracy in the dynamics of the system and gives the ability for higher co-dimensional bifurcations and complex dynamical phenomena. Gendelman [14] was the first to observe and study the nonlinear Targeted Energy Transfer. He studied the transient dynamics of a two degrees of freedom system consisting of a linear oscillator with damping coupled weakly with an essential nonlinear oscillator. On this system, he observed that for certain initial conditions of energy given in the linear oscillator (above a threshold) there was a Targeted Energy Transfer to the nonlinear oscillator, which absorbed most of the energy. More extensive study of the above phenomenon [12, 65] proved that the basic mechanism that controls Targeted Energy Transfer was the 1:1 transitional resonance between the linear and the nonlinear system, that is the 1:1 resonance occurs and continues for a certain period of time, followed by a transition to escape from resonance. Also it was proved that the existence of dissipation is a prerequisite for Targeted Energy Transfer. Whereas, in the absence of dissipation beating phenomena occurs, i.e. the energy is transferred from the linear to the nonlinear and back again to the linear oscillator. The first experimental demonstration of a Targeted Energy Transfer in a mechanical system took place in 2005 by McFarland, Bergman and Vakakis [48], where they studied a system consisting of two, one degree of freedom, oscillators (one linear and one nonlinear) with a stiff linear coupling and a dissipative Nonlinear Energy Sink (Figure 1.1). With the above experiment, the researchers noticed good agreement between theoretical and experimental results, despite the strong nonlinearity and the transient nature of the dynamics of the problem. Indeed, the energy which was introduced in the linear oscillator was transferred to the Nonlinear Energy Sink where it was locally dissipated. The results of the above experiment confirmed the existence of an energy threshold after which apearss the phenomenon of Targeted Energy Transfer. The initial energy of the system ( related to the amplitude of the oscillation) plays an essential

role on the Targeted Energy Transfer phenomenon. This fact is related to the mechanisms of energy transfer. Certain criteria that relates the initial energy (amplitude) with the Targeted Energy Transfer were defined in different papers [64]. The phenomenon of Targeted Energy Transfer may be interpreted by three mechanisms. The first mechanism is the basic (1:1) resonance between the donor and the receptor that leads to the basic Targeted Energy Transfer. The second mechanism is the subharmonic resonance that leads to the subharmonic Targeted Energy Transfer. The third mechanism is based on the excitation of the so-called impulsive periodic or semi-periodic orbits which leads through rhythmic phenomena to one of the previous two mechanisms. Singular Perturbation Theory and Invariant Manifolds are important mathematical tools [18, 19, 69] that help us study systems with Targeted Energy Transfer. This is due to the fact that the mass of the Nonlinear Energy Sink is much smaller in comparison to the linear system and the system’s dynamics are governed by different time scales. The first who studied such systems was Gendelman [13], who showed that the rate of dissipation of the energy is connected to the bifurcations of the invariant manifold.

17 The slow flow dynamics of the system is the essential on the Targeted Energy Transfer phenomenon [36, 53, 63]. Therefore techniques as the Complexification Averaging Technique (CX-A) are used to separate and study the slow flow dynamics of the system. Targeted Energy Transfer occurs even in the case where the Nonlinear Energy Sink is attached to a system with external excitations. In this case the system, in addition to the known steady state oscillations with the weak variation of the responses, perform very special oscillations with large variations of the responses which are called Strongly Modulated Responses. These responses can be considered as the extension of the phenomenon of Targeted Energy Transfer in systems with external excitations since the Strongly Modulated Responses can be considered as a form of iterative Targeted Energy Transfer. The applications of the Targeted Energy Transfer have great interest. In recent years, intense efforts have been done in this area. Papers have been published concerning seismic mitigation of energy in buildings and the use of the Targeted Energy Transfer phenomenon to transfer and dissipate the energy in order to protect the buildings [51, 60]. There are studies on the application of the Targeted Energy Transfer to stabilize drill-string systems [71] and studies on transferring of unused energy in automotive gearboxes systems [35]. In the following thesis we study a three degree of freedom autonomous system with damping, composed of two linear coupled oscillators with an essentially nonlinear lightweight attachment. A similar work was done by Vakakis [66]. He studied the dynamic interactions between traveling waves propagating in a linear lattice and a lightweight, essentially nonlinear and damped local attachment through slow-fast partitions of the dynamics and Melnikov analysis. He proved that for damping below a critical threshold relaxation oscillations of the attachment exist. These oscillations are associated with enhanced targeted energy transfer from the traveling wave to the attachment. Moreover, in the limit of weak or no damping, he proved the existence of subharmonic oscillations of arbitrarily large periods, and of chaotic motions. In our work we study, with the help of the Slow Invariant Manifold (SIM) approach, how the parameters of the original problem influence the asymptotic behavior of the orbits of the system. This is accomplished with the application of Tikhonov’s theorem [69]. We classify the different cases of the dynamics according to the values of the parameters and the theoretically predicted asymptotic behavior of the orbits. In the next step we study the dynamical behavior of the slow flow of the system. The dynamics of the slow flow can be either simple (having regular oscillations in the region of the stable branches of the SIM), having relaxation oscillations or chaotic behavior. The study of the slow flow and the bifurcations of the SIM are related with the Targeted Energy Transfer of the initial problem. The classification of the different cases of the SIM gives us, in a way, a way to control the dynamics of the system. Furthermore, an electric circuit that implements the nonlinear reduced system is presented. This electric circuit can be used for the experimental study as well as for developing applications that use the rich dynamics of the above system.

18 This thesis is organized as follows. In the next chapter we present some basic concepts, theorems and tools that we use in our study. The third chapter presents the bifurcations of the SIM and a classification for the different cases. In the fourth chapter we present the dynamics of the slow flow. The effect of the SIM and the slow flow dynamics on the energy transfer and dissipation of the initial system is presented in the fifth chapter. The sixth chapter presents an electrical circuit that implements the reduced nonlinear system. Finally, in the seventh chapter, we present the conclusions of our work and suggestions for further work.

Finally, the chapter ends with a small introduction about nonlinear electric elements.

2.1 Dynamical Systems

2.1.1 General definitions

Systems that evolve depending on time are called Dynamical Systems[1, 10, 31, 70]. Such systems can be classified into two categories: continuous dynamical systems, where the time is a continuous parameter (t ∈ <) and are mathematically described by differential equations of the form dx i =x ˙ = f (x , t), i, j = 1, ..., n, (2.1) dt i j i and discrete dynamical systems, where time evolves in a discrete way (t ∈ Z or N) and are mathematically described by iterated maps

k+1 k xi = fj(xi ), i, j = 1, ..., n, k = 1, 2, .... (2.2)

In the current work we will study continuous dynamical systems. The systems that do not explicitly depend on time are called autonomous dynamical systems. Such systems are given by

x˙i = fj(xi), i, j = 1, ..., n. (2.3) The systems that depend explicitly on time are called non autonomous dynamical systems

x˙i = fj(xi, t), i, j = 1, ..., n. (2.4)

21 The number n of the variables x defines the dimension of the system. The (n+1)-dimensional space (x1, x2, ..., xn, t) is called the extended state space. For autonomous systems we can use the n-dimensional space of the positions (x1, , x2, ..., xn) that is called state space. According to the theorem of Existence and Uniqueness of the solutions, the trajectories in the extended state space cannot intersect. On the other hand the trajectories in the state space can not intersect unless fj(xi) = 0.

In a continuous , the parametric solution (x1(t), x2(t), ..., xn(t)) can be represented as a continuous curve in the state space that is named trajectory. Respectively in a discrete dynamical system, the trajectory of the system is the countable set of the points (k) (k) (k) (x1 , , x2 , ..., xn ), where k = 1, 2, ..., +∞. If the system is invertible then the trajectories can (k) (k) (k) be defined as the countable set of points (x1 , x2 , ..., xn ), where k = −∞, ..., +∞. Periodic orbit is the orbit that returns to the same point after one period of time (T ), i.e, for t = T , holds xi(t + T ; xj0, t0) = xi(t, xj0, t0).

2.1.2 Equilibrium points (Periodic orbits) and stability: definitions and theorems

Equilibrium points are the critical points where the state of the dynamical system remains static in dependence to time,

x˙i = 0. (2.5) The stability of the equilibrium points is very important because it determines the dynamics of the system [22]-[25]. In particular, a stable equilibrium point is a point for which the trajectories around it remain close for small perturbations. On the other hand, an unstable equilibrium point is a point for which the trajectories around it escape even for small perturbations and remove the system from its initial state. The stability of the equilibrium points can be studied by linearizing the system in the region of the equilibrium point.

Let x0 be an equilibrium point of the nonlinear system (2.3). We consider the perturbed solution x(t), that is the displacement from the equilibrium point and satisfy system (2.3), replace it in (2.3) and expand the right hand side in Taylor Series

x˙ = f(x0) + Df(x0)x + ..., x ∈ <. (2.6)

By keeping O(1) terms and taking into consideration that in the equilibrium point f(x0) = 0 we derive the linear system x˙ = Ax, (2.7) where the matrix A is

 ∂f1 ... ∂f1  ∂x1 ∂xn   A = Df(x0) =  ......  . (2.8) ∂fn ... ∂fn ∂x1 ∂xn x=x0

22 Respectively, for the periodic orbits, a neighboring orbit to the periodic, x(t), is given by x(t) = γ(t) + ξ(t) and the linearized system is

ξ˙ = Aξ, (2.9) where the matrix  ∂f1 ... ∂f1  ∂x1 ∂xn   A = Df(γ(t)) =  ......  , (2.10) ∂fn ... ∂fn ∂x1 ∂xn x=γ(t) is periodic with period T .

In general, when the eigenvalues of matrix A of an equilibrium point p0 have non zero real part, this equilibrium point is called hyperbolic equilibrium point. The solution of the linearized system determines the behavior of the nonlinear system in the region of equilibrium point (or periodic orbit) in a linear approach. The stability of the system is determined by the eigenvalues of the linearized matrix A of the equilibrium point. In particular, if the matrix A has at least one eigenvalue with positive real part then the equilibrium point is unstable. If all the eigenvalues of A have negative real parts then the equilibrium point is stable.

Figure 2.1: Saddle equilibrium point: a special case of hyperbolic equilibrium point in systems with two degrees of freedom.

Topological conjugacy allows us to study a nonlinear system through linearization. Two systems of first order differential equations, φt(x), ψt(x), are called topologically conjugated when they are topologically equivalent, i.e., when there is a continuous function h which is reversible by a continuous inversion and

φt ◦ h(x) = h ◦ ψt(x) ⇔ φt(h(x)) = h(ψt(x)), and maintains the parametrization of the solutions with respect to time. The topological conjugacy shows that the orbits of φt(x) are mapped in the orbits of ψt(x) and therefore both systems have the same topological properties.

23 We define the locally stable manifold S, as the manifold that has the property

S = {x ∈ S/φt(x) → x0, t → ∞ & φt(x) ∈ S, t ≥ 0}, (2.11) and the locally unstable manifold U, as the manifold that has the property

U = {x ∈ U/φt(x) → x0, t → −∞ & φt(x) ∈ S, t ≤ 0}. (2.12)

We define the unstable subspace Eu = span{u1, ..., unu }, where u1, ..., unu are the eigen- vectors of (2.10) whose eigenvalues have negative real parts, as the set of points such that orbits of (2.9), through these points, approach the origin asymptotically in negative time. We define the stable subspace Es = span{u1, ..., uns }, where u1, ..., uns are the eigenvectors of (2.10) whose eigenvalues have negative real part, as the set of points that the orbits of (2.9), through these points, approach the origin asymptotically in positive time. The global stable manifold is given by

s [ W = φt(S), (2.13) t≤0 and the global unstable manifold by

u [ W = φt(U). (2.14) t≥0 In what follows we present basic theorems that connect the linearized with the nonlinear system [77].

Theorems

Stable manifold theorem: Let the dynamical system x˙ = f(x), x ∈

Hartman - Grobman theorem: In an open subset E ∈

24 The system orbits x˙ = f(x) are mapped to orbits of the linearized system x˙ = Ax in the region of the zero point and maintain the parameterization. Based on the above, we conclude that the stable and the unstable subspace in the region of the equilibrium point, as well as the topology of the phase space, remain the same when the matrix A of the linearized system does not have eigenvalues with zero real part.

2.1.3 Bifurcation theory

If the topology of the vector field f of the dynamical system

x˙ = f(x, µ), µ ∈ <, f ∈ C1(E),E ⊂

Continuation theorem: Let the system

x˙ = f(x, µ), x ∈

Jacobian matrix has an eigenvalue with zero real part the point (x0, µ0) is called bifurcation point. From a bifurcation point, more than one branch of equilibrium points may pass (Figure 2.2).

Types of bifurcations

1. Saddle - node bifurcation: In this case, for the critical value of the parameter µ, for which the eigenvalues of the linearized matrix in the region of the equilibrium point are real and equal to zero, the two equilibrium points suddenly appear or if they exist one coalesce with the other and suddenly disappear (Figure 2.3).

2. Transciritical bifurcation: In this case, there are always two equilibrium points, one stable and one unstable, that for the value of the parameter µ for which the two equilibrium points coincide, switch their stability status, i.e. the unstable becomes stable and the stable unstable (Figure 2.4).

25 Figure 2.2: Branches of equilibrium points

Figure 2.3: Saddle- node bifurcation (Black line: stable equilibrium point, dashed line: unstable equilibrium point).

Figure 2.4: Transciritical bifurcation (Black line: stable equilibrium point, dashed line: unstable equilibrium point).

26 3. Pitchfork bifurcation: Here, there is one equilibrium point that, for the critical value of the parameter µ, changes its stability and simultaneously two other equilibrium points appear with the same stability as the original (Figure 2.5).

Figure 2.5: Pitchfork bifurcation (Black line: stable equilibrium point, dashed line: unstable equilibrium point).

4. Hopf bifurcation: In this bifurcation, one branch of periodical orbits bifurcates from one branch of equilibrium points. This behavior is related to a single pair of imaginary eigenvalues (real parts equal to zero) and no other eigenvalue with zero real part.

2.1.4 Chaos

A dynamical system is called chaotic when it has a sensitive dependence on the initial conditions [2,3,4, 29, 30]. In particular, a map 1 f is called chaotic in a compact invariant set when:

• It has a dense set of periodic orbits.

• It is topologically transitive. This means that from any arbitrarily small region containing points of the invariant set, we may visit any other region that contains points of the invariant set as well. This property results in a mixing of the orbits under the mapping.

• It has a sensitive dependence on initial conditions. This means that in every region of every point Π of the set, there is at least one point Π0 such, that the orbits of the two points diverge a given fixed distance, independent of the starting point and the selected region, after finite steps.

The detection of chaotic behavior is a challenging process. There are different analytic, semi-analytic or numerical tools to investigate the behavior of the system, such as: Melnikov’s

1The maps f : <2 → <2 has similar properties with the Poincare maps in the phase space of three dimensional time continuous dynamical system.

27 Theorem, Lyapunov Characteristic Exponent, SALI,... etc [4, 56, 77]. These tools may prove or show the existence of chaotic behavior in a dynamical system.

Melnikov theorem

The Melnikov theorem is one of the few analytical tools that can guarantee the chaotic behavior in a dynamical system [77]. Consider the dynamical system of the form

x˙ = f(x) + g(x, t) (2.17)

2 r where x ≡ (x1, x2) ∈ < , f ≡ (f1, f2), g ≡ (g1, g2) are C (r ≥ 2) smooth functions, gi(x, t) = gi(x, t + T ) are periodic functions of time and  ∈ < a small parameter of the system.

The unperturbed system must have one hyperbolic (saddle) equilibrium point p0 for which u s 2 the unstable W (p0) and the stable manifold W (p0) join in a smooth homoclinic trajectory . Also there is a continuous infinity of periodic orbit inside the homoclinic trajectory.The Melnikov function (or integral) is given by Z ∞ M(t0) = f(q0(t)) ∧ g(q0(t), t + t0)dt. (2.18) −∞

Melnikov theorem: If the Melnikov function M(t0) has simple roots then, for a small enough ,

u t0 s t0 the invariant manifolds W (p ) and W (p ) intersect transversely. These manifolds are the two dimensional, unstable and stable respectively, manifolds of the periodic orbit that the perturbed system has and is continued from the saddle equilibrium point of the unperturbed system. The existence of the transverse homoclinic trajectories implies, through the Smale- Birkhoff theorem, that the Poincare mapping has an invariant hyperbolic set, smale horseshoe and chaotic dynamics. This means that the above theorem proves the existence, for small values of the perturbation parameter , of the chaotic behavior of the system.

Maximal Lyapunov Characteristic Exponent (mLCE)

The Lyapunov Characteristic Exponent is an asymptotic measure that gives the average increase (or decrease) of the deviation of the perturbed initial conditions in the solutions of a dynamical system. The maximal Lyapunov Characteristic Exponent is an indicator of the nature of the motion (chaotic or regular) [56, 61]. In order to have chaotic motion, the maximal Lyapunov Exponent must be positive. The maximal Lyapunov Characteristic Exponent can be computed by

1 kw(t)k χ = lim . (2.19) 1 t→∞ t kw(0)k 2Homoclinic is called the trajectory of a point p ∈ <2 when it tends asymptotically, for n → ∞ and n → −∞, to an equilibrium point or a periodic orbit or generally to any invariant set.

This time is called Lyapunov time and is given by 1 tL = . (2.21) χ1

2.1.5 The Averaging method

The Averaging method gives important information on the evolution of a nonlinear system [26]. This method can be applied in systems of the form

x˙ = f(x, t, ), x ∈

1 Z T y˙ =  f(y, t, 0)dt ≡ f¯(t). (2.23) T 0

The Averaging theorem [20]: There is a Cr transformation of the coordinates x = y+w(y, t, ) such that (2.22) becomes ¯ 2 y˙ = f(y) +  f1(y, t, ), (2.24) where f1 is periodic with period T . Also

• If x(t), y(t) are the solutions of (2.22) and (2.23) respectively for the initial conditions

x0, y0, for time t = 0, and |x0 − y0| = O(), then the relation |x(t) − y(t)| = O() holds 1 for time t ∼  .

• If p0 is a hyperbolic equilibrium point of (2.23) then there is  > 0 such that, for every

0 <  ≤ 0,(2.22) has one unique hyperbolic periodic orbit γ(t) = p0 + O() that has the

same stability with the equilibrium point p0.

s s • If x (t) ∈ W (γ) is the solution of (2.22) on the stable manifold of the hyperbolic s s periodic orbits γ = p0 + O(), and y (t) ∈ W (p0) the solution of (2.23) on the stable s s manifold of the hyperbolic equilibrium point p0 and holds that |x (0) − y (0)| = O(), then |xs(t) − ys(t)| = O() for every t ∈ [0, ∞). Similar results hold for solutions that are on the unstable manifolds for time t ∈ (−∞, 0].

29 2.2 Singular Perturbation Theory

2.2.1 What is a singular perturbation problem?

Many physical problems involve small, real valued parameters. Examples of such systems are seen in many different scientific fields such as celestial mechanics, electric circuits, biology systems or chemical reactions. The study of this kind of problems can be done with the use of perturbation theory. The aim of perturbation theory is to determine the behavior of the solutions when the value of the small parameter tends to zero,  → 0. This is done with the use of asymptotic solutions that satisfies the original system up to a small error. In regular perturbation problem the expansion with respect to a small parameter  depends analytically on it. Singular perturbation problems are qualitatively different from regular per- turbation problems. The expansion of the solution depends singularly on the small parameter . The solutions of singular perturbation problems often depend on widely different time-scale lengths. There are many methods to tackle this kind of problems such as multiple scale analysis and averaging. The main idea in these methods is to separate time to fast and slow time variables and treat them as if they are independent.

2.2.2 Multiple Scale Analysis

Multiple Scale Analysis are techniques that give approximate solutions to singular perturbation problems, where the dynamics display slow and fast variations (Figure 2.6)[28, 37, 49].

Figure 2.6: The oscillation has slow and fast variations

The basic idea of Multiple Scale Analysis is to separate an independent variable, for example the time t, into other independent, scaled variables. i.e, to separate the time variable t into 2 variables t0 = t, t1 = t, t2 =  t, .... that are independent to each other.

30 These techniques were developed in the early decade of 1960 with the work of Kuzmak (1959), Cochran (1962), Mahony (1962) and Nayfeh (1964). Since then Multiple Scale Analysis techniques were, and still are, used in many fields of physical sciences (Ordinary differential equations, Partial differential equations, problems of space science, aeronautic, solid mechanics, waves, atmospheric physics, plasma ...etc).

General methodology

Consider the differential equations of the form dnx(t) = f(x(t)). (2.25) dtn

We introduce the new time variables t0 = t, t1 = t, ... and expand the solution x(t) in a series

x(t) = X0(t0, t1) + X1(t0, t1) + .... (2.26) With the help of the chain rule we find the derivatives of the solution dx ∂X dt ∂X dt ∂X dt ∂X dt = 0 0 + 0 1 + ( 1 0 + 1 1 ) + ..., dt ∂t0 dt ∂t1 dt ∂t0 dt ∂t1 dt ∂X ∂X ∂X = 0 + ( 0 + 1 ) + O(2), ∂t ∂t1 ∂t 2 2 2 d x ∂ X0 ∂X0 ∂ X1 2 2 = 2 + (2 + 2 ) + O( ), dt ∂t ∂t∂t1 ∂t ··· . (2.27)

By substituting (2.27) and (2.26) in the differential equation and after equating terms of the same order  we lead to a set of subproblems. The solutions of these subproblems will give the solution of the initial problem.

An illustrative example

Consider the Duffing Equation with no damping and no excitation d2y + y + y3 = 0 (2.28) dt2 dy with initial conditions y(0) = 1, dt = 0. The first step in order to study the problem is to take the expansion of the solution y(t) in a series 2 y(t) = y0 + y1 + O( ). (2.29) The second step is to substitute the solution (2.29) in equation (2.28), and by equating terms of the same order  we take the subproblems

y¨0 + y0 = 0, 3 y¨1 + y1 + y0 = 0. (2.30)

31 The solutions of (2.30) are

y0 = cos(t), 1 3 y = (cos(3t) − cos(t)) − t sin(t) (2.31) 1 32 8 and the solution of the initial problem is 1 3 y(t) = cos(t) + ( (cos(3t) − cos(t)) − t sin(t)) + O(2). (2.32) 32 8 3 It may be observed in (2.32) that the term 8 t sin(t) is an increasing function of time t. It can be seen in (Figure 2.7) that our approach is quite good only for a short time period, while with the increasing of time the solutions diverge. The time for which there is good approximation depends on .

(a) t ∈ (0, 200) (b) t ∈ (0, 800) Figure 2.7: Numerical comparison of solution (2.28) (Black dashed line) to the approximate solution(2.32) (gray line) for  = 0.01

The above difficulty can be avoided by introducing the method of multiple scale analysis.

The first step is to consider the fast time t0 = t and the slow time t1 = t and expand the solution y(t) of (2.28) as in (2.26). The solution becomes

2 y(t) = Y0(t0, t1) + Y1(t0, t1) + O( ) (2.33) with derivatives dy ∂Y ∂Y ∂Y = 0 + ( 0 + 1 ) + O(2), dt ∂t ∂t1 ∂t 2 2 2 d y ∂ Y0 ∂Y0 ∂ Y1 2 2 = 2 + (2 + 2 ) + O( ). (2.34) dt ∂t ∂t∂t1 ∂t By substituting the solution (2.33) and the derivatives (2.34) in (2.28) and by equating terms of the same order  we derive the subproblems ∂2Y 0 + Y = 0, ∂t2 0 2 2 ∂ Y1 3 ∂ Y0 2 + Y1 = −Y0 − 2 . (2.35) ∂t ∂t∂t1

The first equation of(2.35) has a general solution

jt ∗ −jt Y0(t0, t1) = A(t1)e + A (t1)e , (2.36) where A(t1) is complex. By substituting on the right hand-side of the second subproblem (2.35) we take ∂2Y dA 1 + Y = −3A3e3jt + (−3A2A∗ − 2j )ejt ∂t2 1 dt dA∗ − 3(A∗)3e−3jt + (−3A(A2)∗ − 2j )e−jt. (2.37) dt The occurrence of secular terms can be prevented by imposing the condition dA − 3A2A∗ − 2j = 0, (2.38) dt with solution 1 3 jt A = e 8 1 . (2.39) 2 Then the approximate solution of the Duffing equation is 3 y(t) = cos((1 + )t) + O(). (2.40) 8 Comparing the numerical result, given by solving the differential equation (2.28), and the above approximate solution we see that there is a good approximation of the numerically calculated solution by equation (2.40) (Figure 2.8) and conclude that the multiple scale analysis is a good method to approximate of the solutions of the above problem.

2.2.3 Geometric Singular Perturbation Theory

A powerful tool for analyzing high-dimensional singular systems is the Geometric Singular Perturbation Theory [27, 28, 33, 77]. A map f : X → Y of subsets of two Euclidean spaces is called Cr diffeomorphism if it is one to one and onto and if the inverse map f −1 : Y → X is also Cr. A subset M ⊂

33 • There exists a countable collection of open sets V a ⊂

• There exist a Cr diffeomorphism xa defined on each U a which maps U a onto some open set in

• The change of the coordinates in the overlapping region of two of the open sets U a must also be Cr.

A manifold contained in the phase space of a dynamical system which has the property that its orbits remain on the manifold throughout the course of their dynamical evolution is called Invariant Manifold. We consider the equations of the form

dx = f(x, y, ), dt dy = g(x, y, ), (2.41) dt where x ∈

dx  = f(x, y, ), dτ dy = g(x, y, ). (2.42) dτ System (2.41) is called fast and (2.42) is called slow system.

Let assume an l-dimensional manifold, possibly with its boundary, M0 which is contained in the set {f(x, y, 0) = 0} and the fundamental hypothesis on M0 that as a set of critical points, the directions normal to the manifold will correspond to eigenvalues that are not neutral. A set M is locally invariant under the flow form (2.41) if it has a neighborhood V so that the trajectory can not leave M without also leaving V .

In what follows we present a set of theorems that play important role in the geometric sin- gular perturbation theorem [33, 69, 77].

Theorems

Fenichel’s Invariant Manifold Theorem I: If  > 0 but sufficiently small, there exist a mani- fold M that lies within O() of M0 and is diffeomorphic to M0. Moreover it is locally invariant under the flow of system (2.41), and Cr, including in , for any r < +∞.

The manifold M is called the slow manifold and it is locally invariant.

34 Fenichel’s Invariant Manifold Theorem II: If  > 0, but sufficiently small, there exists stable s u manifolds W (M) and unstable manifolds W (M) that lie within O() of, and are diffeo- s u morphic to, the stable manifold W (M0) and to the unstable manifold W (M0) respectively. Moreover, they are each locally invariant under (2.41), and Cr, including in , for any r < +∞.

Fenichel’s Invariant Manifold Theorem III: For every u ∈ M, there is an m- dimensional s s u stable manifold, W (u) ⊂ W (M), and an l-dimensional unstable manifold, W (u) ⊂ u s W (M), lying within O() of, and diffeomorphic to, the stable manifold W (u) and the unsta- u r ble manifold W (u) respectively. Moreover, they are C for any r, including in u and . The fam- s s s ily of stable manifolds {W (u): u ∈ M} is invariant in the sense that W (u)·D t ⊂ W (u· t), u if u· s ∈ D for all s ∈ [0, t], and the family of unstable manifolds {W (u): u ∈ M} is u u invariant in the sense that W (u)·D t ⊂ W (u· t), if u· s ∈ D for all s ∈ [t, 0].

Tikhonov Theorem: Consider the initial value problem

n x˙ = f(x, y, t) + ..., x(0) = x0, x ∈ D ⊂ < , t ≥ 0, n y˙ = g(x, y, t) + ..., y(0) = y0, y ∈ G ⊂ < , t ≥ 0.

For f and g, we take sufficiently smooth vector functions in x, y and t. 1. We assume that a unique solution of the initial value problem exists and suppose this holds also for the reduced problem

x˙ = f(x, y, t), x(0) = x0, 0 = g(x, y, t), with solution x˜(t), y˜(t). 2. Suppose that y˜ = Φ(x, t) is a solution of g(x, y, t) = 0, where Φ(x, t) is a continuous function and an isolated root. Also, suppose that y˜ = Φ(x, t) is an asymptotically stable solution of the dy + equation dτ = g(x, y, t) that is uniform in the parameters x ∈ D and t ∈ < . 3. y(0) is contained in an interior subset of the domain of attraction of y˜ = Φ(x, t) in the case of the parameter values x = x(0), t = 0. Then, we have

lim x(t) =x ˜(t), 0 ≤ t ≤ L, →0 lim y(t) =y ˜(t), 0 < d ≤ t ≤ L, →0 with d and L constants independent of .

35 2.3 Electric circuits

2.3.1 Linear and nonlinear electric elements

Linear electric elements are well known in many applications [9]. The main property of these elements is that their characteristics, that is, the relation between voltage υ and current i, are straight lines. One main linear electric element is the linear Resistor (Figure 2.9) for which the

Figure 2.9: Linear Resistor voltage (υ) across and the current satisfy the relation

υR = RiR (2.43) and its voltage- current (υ − i) characteristic is given in (Figure 2.10).

Figure 2.10: voltage- current (υ − i) characteristic of a linear resistor

An important linear electric element is the linear capacitor (Figure 2.11).The characteristic of the linear capacitor is given in (Figure 2.12). Another linear electric element is the linear inductor (Figure 2.13) where its characteristic is given in (Figure 2.14). The element for which the voltage (υ) across it and the current (i) satisfy

Figure 2.11: Linear capacitor

36 Figure 2.12: Characteristic of a linear capacitor

Figure 2.13: Linear inductor

Figure 2.14: Characteristic of a linear inductor the relation

RR = {(υ, i): f(υ, i) = 0}, (2.44) is called nonlinear electric element [5, 38]. There are many examples of nonlinear electric elements such as the nonlinear resistor, the nonlinear capacitor and the nonlinear inductor (Figure 2.15).

(a) nonlinear (b) nonlinear (c) nonlinear resistor capacitor inductor Figure 2.15: Nonlinear elements

37 Figure 2.16: Ideal diode

Figure 2.17: voltage- current (υ − i) characteristic of an ideal diode

A main example of nonlinear element is the ideal diode (Figure 2.16). The voltage- current (υ, i) characteristic of the diode consists of two straight lines (Figure 2.17) and is given by

RID = {(υ, i): υ· i = 0, i = 0 for υ < 0 and υ = 0 for i > 0}. (2.45)

If a diode is reverse biased (υ < 0), then the current is zero, i.e. the diode is an open circuit. If a diode conducts (i > 0), then the voltage is zero, i.e. the diode is a short-circuit. The power of an ideal diode is always zero. The elements with such a property are called non-energic elements. The ideal diode is an important circuit element for producing models of devices and circuits. Also plays an important role on the piecewise-linear analysis. In contrary to what happens in linear resistors the voltage - current (υ − i) characteristic is not a straight line passing through the origin. For this reason it is important that the symbol of a nonlinear resistor indicates its orientation. Also, the symbol of a non-linear resistor is not symmetrical to both its terminals. There are two kinds of independent sources in the theory of electric circuits and play the same role as the external forces on mechanics. The first kind of independent sources is an electric element for which the voltage in its terminals is a specific waveform υs(t) regardless of the current that flows through it i.e. the waveform is the same for any external circuit. This element is called the independent voltage source. The voltage, of the independent voltage source, is given by the relation

Rυs = (υ, i): υ = υs(t) for − ∞ < i < ∞. (2.46)

The voltage - current (υ − i) characteristic of this source is a straight line parallel to the current axis and can be considered as a nonlinear resistor controlled by the current. In the case when the straight line passes through the axes origin the voltage characteristic of the source

38 coincides with the characteristic of a short circuit. This property is very important in the analysis of electric circuits. The second kind of independent sources is an electrical element for which the current that passes through it has a specific waveform is(t) regardless the voltage on its terminals. This element is called the independent current source. The current, of the independent current source, is given by the relation

Ris = (υ, i): i = is(t) for − ∞ < υ < ∞. (2.47)

The voltage- current (υ − i) characteristic is a straight line parallel to the voltage axes and can be considered as a nonlinear resistor controlled by the voltage. In the case when the straight line passes through the axes origin, 0, the current source becomes an open circuit and its current is equal to zero.

2.3.2 Resistor connections and basic laws

As it is well known, resistors may connect in series or parallel. For the case where linear resistors are connected in series, the current that passes through each resistor is equal, the total voltage is the sum of the voltage accross each resistor and the total resistance is equal to the sum of the resistances of each individual series resistor. For nonlinear, controlled by current, resistors, the current that passes through the resistors is the same, i.e i = i1 = i2 = ... = in, where n the number of resistors and the voltage is equal to the sum of the voltages accross each individual nonlinear resistor, i.e. υ = υ1(i) + υ2(i) + ... + υn(i). For the case where linear resistors are connected in parallel the voltage across any given resistor is equal to the voltage across each of the other resistors, the total current is equal to the 1 sum of the currents that pass through the resistors and the total conductance, G = R , is equal to the sum of the conductance of each resistor. For nonlinear, controlled by voltage, parallel resistors, the voltage across any given resistor is equal to the voltage across each of the other resistors and the total current is equal to the sum of the currents that pass through the resistors, i.e. i(υ) = i1(υ) + i2(υ) + ... + in(υ), where n is the number of the resistors.

A branch represents a single element such as resistor, source etc. The point of connection between two or more branches is called a node. Any closed path in a circuit is called a loop.

Kirchhoff’s first law: The algebraic sum of currents entering and leaving a node is zero, P in = 0.

P Kirchhoff’s second law: The algebraic sum of all voltages around a loop is zero, υn = 0

2.3.3 Operational Amplifier

The operational amplifier is a basic element for the design of an analog electric circuit and plays important role for executing certain operations such as division, addition or integration. There is a great variety of operational amplifiers that one can use in order to implement different kinds of systems. A differential amplifier (Figure 2.18) enhances the differential input. Indeed the output voltage is equal to the enhanced of the differential input voltage and is given by the relation

υ0 = Avid, (2.48)

where υid = ν+ − ν−. A differential amplifier with infinite voltage gain is called Operational Amplifier (Figure 2.19). The ideal operational amplifier is a special case of the ideal differential amplifier where the differential input resistance is infinite, RID = ∞, the output resistance is zero, Ro = 0, and most important the gain is infinite, A = ∞. The function that an operational amplifier will carry out is determined by the way it will be connected with the other electric elements of the circuit. Therefore an operational amplifier may act as a reversing or non reversing amplifier, as a buffer, as an adder, as a sub-tractor, as a filter, or as an integrator/ differentiator.

40 2.3.4 Examples of nonlinear circuits

As we will show, nonlinear electric circuits may implement nonlinear systems of differential equations. Such circuits have rich dynamical behavior and cover all the known routes to chaos [34, 40, 41, 52, 62, 67].

The nonlinear capacitor is a varactor diode with characteristic

p Q = −k V0 − υc = Q(υc). (2.49)

For values υc < V0 the diode behaves as a nonlinear capacitor while for υc > V0 behaves as a nonlinear resistor [40, 67]. The circuit (Figure 2.20) implements the second order differential equation

The 2π bifurcation diagram changes drastically with the variation of the frequency f = ω . The system is lead to chaos in a very different way, i.e. there are periodic areas, where the period is increased sequentially, and chaotic areas between them. This way to chaos is called “period-adding route to chaos”. Also, the bifurcation diagram starts with a sudden transition from period one to chaos and ends with a sudden transition from chaos to period one.

Classification of the Slow Invariant Manifold

In mechanical applications, there is a great interest in structures of linear systems with nonlinear attachments [15, 12, 55, 68, 63]. In most of these studies the nonlinear attachments have small masses in comparison to the structures to which they are attached, and the systems are non conservative. Various dynamical phenomena have been investigated for two degrees of freedom damped systems with or without external forcing. A special property of these configurations is that the nonlinear substructures can act as nonlinear energy sinks (NESs) and absorb, through irreversible transient transfer, energy from the linear parts. There has been shown, both numerically and analytically, that the above can occur through resonance captures in vicinities of resonance manifolds of the underlying conservative systems [12, 63] for certain ranges of parameters and initial conditions. In the case of external forcing various other complicated dynamical phenomena may appear [15, 16, 63]. These systems can also be studied with the help of the method of multiple scales and singular- ity analysis [15, 16, 18, 19, 63, 69]. It has been shown that the Slow Invariant Manifolds (SIMs) obtained in the singular limit plays a very important role in the dynamics under consideration. If a SIM is stable it can attract the orbits of the system in the limit of ’fast’ time scales for a wide range of initial conditions and accounts for transient energy transfer. If it is unstable, for example of saddle type, it has locally invariant manifolds and their existence affect the dynamics of such systems and may produce relaxation oscillations and complex phenomena [18, 19, 33, 50]. In what follows we study a three degree of freedom autonomous system considered previously in [55, 68]. Through singular transformations and reduction of the dynamics, we derive a reduced non autonomous damped strongly nonlinear second order differential equation. With the use of the complexification-averaging technique (CX-A) we obtain a system of two, first order, differential equations governed by the slow time scale. The SIM of the above system, computed through multiple scale analysis or singularity analysis [69], provides information about the asymptotic behavior of the orbits of the reduced system. The SIM of the system may have

47 one or three branches depending on the slow time and the value of the damping parameter. The corresponding bifurcations affect the dynamical behavior of the system which can change drastically. Indeed, Tikhonov’s theorem guarantees that, when the branches of the SIM are isolated and stable, the orbits of the system tend to these stable branches as long as they exist. The application of Tikhonov’s theorem allows us to classify the behavior of the orbits in comparison to the evolution of the SIM, depending on the system parameters. The theoretical analysis provides the range of the system parameters for each of the previous cases and allows us to predict the long term behavior of the orbits of the reduced system. In fact, the damping parameter λ and the number of the branches of the SIM play an essential role in the evolution of the dynamics of the system. The dynamics can be simple, as in the case where there is only one persisting stable branch of the SIM, or complicated, when bifurcations of the SIM occur, resulting in different phenomena such as relaxation oscillations or orbit excitations. The chapter is organized as follows. In the first section, we present the system and its reduction through singular transformations and the complexification averaging technique(CX-A). In the second section, we apply multiple scale analysis to the resulting system and compute the SIM. The polynomial, that defines it, depends on the slow time. We study the change of the number of its roots, depending on time and system parameters, and determine the bifurcations and stability of the different branches of the SIM. Based on Tichonov’s theorem we find the range of parameters and the interval of time where the branches of the SIM are attracting. In the fifth section, we present numerical results and classify the behavior of the orbits. Finally we present some concluding remarks.

3.1 Reduction of the system

The initial system considered in this work is composed of two coupled linear oscillators and a nonlinear oscillator that interacts through an essential nonlinearity with one of the linear oscillators. The mass of the nonlinear attachment is small in comparison to the masses of the linear oscillators and therefore the problem is singular. The governing equations of motion are given by,

3 y¨ + λ(y ˙ − x˙ 0) + C(y − x0) = 0, 3 x¨0 + d(x0 − x1) = λ(y ˙ − x˙ 0) + C(y − x0) ,

x¨1 + ax1 + d(x1 − x0) = 0, (3.1)

where y, x0, x1 are the displacements and a, d, C, λ and  << 1 are the parameters of the system. After applying the linear singular transformation

−1/2 1/2 v =  x0 +  y, −1/2 −1/2 w =  x0 −  y, (3.2)

48 the system assumes the form: v + w w¨ + λ(1 + )w ˙ + C(1 + )w3 = −d + dx , 1 +  1 d dw v¨ + v − dx = − , 1 +  1 1 +  d dw x¨ + (a + d)x − v = . (3.3) 1 1 1 +  1 +  The second and third equations of (3.3) form a non homogeneous set of linear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients, with eigenfrequencies

2 ω1 = (1 + )a + (2 + )d − p−4ad(1 + ) + ((1 + )a + (2 + )d)2 , 2(1 + ) 2 ω2 = (1 + )a + (2 + )d + p−4ad(1 + ) + ((1 + )a + (2 + )d)2 . 2(1 + ) (3.4) and corresponding eigenvectors (K1, 1) and (K2, 1), where

K1 = (1 + )a + d − p−4ad(1 + ) + ((1 + )a + (2 + )d)2 , 2d K2 = (1 + )a + d + p−4ad(1 + ) + ((1 + )a + (2 + )d)2 . (3.5) 2d We introduce modal coordinates for the linear part of (2) through the coordinate transformations, v = K1z1 + K2z2, x1 = z1 + z2, assume zero initial displacements and nonzero initial velocities z˙1(0) = ω1z10, z˙2(0) = ω2z20, and obtain the approximate system

z1(t) = z10sinω1t + O(),

z2(t) = z20sinω2t + O(), dK w¨ + λ(1 + )w ˙ + C(1 + )w3 = (d − 1 )z sinω t 1 +  10 1 dK + (d − 2 )z sinω t + O(). (3.6) 1 +  20 2 Combining the above equations we obtain the following approximate reduced system

3 w¨ + λ(1 + )w ˙ + C(1 + )w = Asinω1t + Bsinω2t + O(), (3.7) where we have replaced the solutions of the non homogeneous linear oscillators and where dK A = (d − 1 )z , 1 +  10 dK B = (d − 2 )z . (3.8) 1 +  20

49 ¯ After performing a time transformation tˆ → ω20t, where ω2 = ω20 + B, the above equation becomes ω B¯ w00 + λwˆ 0 + Cwˆ 3 = Asinˆ ( 1 tˆ) + Bsinˆ (1 + tˆ) + O(), (3.9) ω20 ω20 where ˆ C(1 + ) ˆ λ(1 + ) ˆ A ˆ B C = 2 , λ = , A = 2 , B = 2 . (3.10) ω20 ω20 ω20 ω20 Considering the reduced system (3.9) we apply the complexification-averaging technique [46, 63]. We introduce the complex coefficient Ψ = w0 + jw, so j 1 j w = − (Ψ − Ψ∗), w0 = (Ψ + Ψ∗), w00 = Ψ0 − (Ψ + Ψ∗), (3.11) 2 2 2 where Ψ∗ is the conjugate. Then equation (3.9) yields λˆ j Cjˆ ω B¯ Ψ0 + ( − )(Ψ + Ψ∗) + (Ψ − Ψ∗)3 = Asinˆ ( 1 tˆ) + Bsinˆ ((1 + )tˆ). (3.12) 2 2 8 ω20 ω20 At this point we make the important additional assumption that the considered dynamics is dominated by a single normalized ’fast’ frequency equal to unity. It follows that our results will only be valid as long as this assumption is satisfied. Mathematically, this assumption is imposed by expresssing Ψ = ϕejt so that equation (3.12) becomes λˆ j φ0 + jφ + ( − )(φ + φ∗e−2jtˆ) 2 2 Cjˆ + (φ3e2jtˆ − 3φ2φ∗ + 3φ(φ∗)2e−2jtˆ − (φ∗)3e−4jtˆ) 8 ˆ ω −ω −ω −ω ˆ ¯ ¯ jA j 1 20 tˆ j 1 20 tˆ Bj j B tˆ −j(2+ B )tˆ = − (e ω20 − e ω20 ) − (e ω20 − e ω20 ). (3.13) 2 2 We mention at this point that system (3.13) is approximate since it takes into account only a single ’fast’ frequency. Clearly, since the system under consideration (and the reduced system (3.9)) is strongly nonlinear, this is only an approximation since higher harmonics will exist in the dynamics. However, we conjecture that there exist regimes where the harmonic components with normalized frequency unity dominate [46, 63]. If we average out the harmonic terms with fast frequencies equal to unity or multiples of it, by integrating (3.13) over the common period 2π of the integral periods, and leaving out O() terms of the above equation, we derive the following averaged complex dynamical system

ˆ ˆ ˜ ˆ ¯ 0 λ j 3Cj 2 J jA Bj j B tˆ φ + ( + )φ − |φ| φ + + + e ω20 = 0, (3.14) 2 2 8 2 2 2 where ˆ Aω20ω1 ω1 J = 2 2 (cos( 2π) − 1), π(ω1 − ω20) ω20 ˆ 2 ˜ Aω20 ω1 A = 2 2 sin( 2π). (3.15) π(ω1 − ω20) ω20

50 Since we are interested in the amplitude of the oscillations of the nonlinear attachment, we use the polar representation of the complex number ϕ = N(t)ejn(t). After separating the real and imaginary parts, we obtain the following two equations for N and η, that represents the slow flow of the system

λNˆ J A˜ Bˆ B¯ N 0 = − − cos(η) − sin(η) + sin( tˆ− η), 2 2 2 2 ω20 N 3CNˆ 3 J A˜ Bˆ B¯ Nη0 = − + + sin(η) − cos(η) − cos( tˆ− η). (3.16) 2 8 2 2 2 ω20 This reduced system will be the basis for the asymptotic analysis that will be carried out in the next sections.

3.2 Multiple scales and singular perturbation analysis

We use the multiple scales analysis [15, 16, 46, 55, 68, 63]

N(t) = N(t0, t1, ....)

= N0(t0, t1, ...) + N1(t0, t1, ...) + O(),

η(t) = η(t0, t1, ....)

= η0(t0, t1, ...) + η1(t0, t1, ...) + O(), (3.17) where t0 = tˆand t1 = tˆ. By keeping O(1) terms in(3.16) for N and η we derive the equations

ˆ ˜ ˆ ∂N0 λN0 J A B ¯ + + cos(η0) + sin(η0) − sin(Btˆ− η0) = 0, ∂t0 2 2 2 2 ˆ 3 ˜ ˆ ∂η0 N0 3CN0 J A B ¯ N0 + − − sin(η0) + cos(η0) + cos(Btˆ− η0) = 0. (3.18) ∂t0 2 8 2 2 2

To study the steady state dynamics of the above system, in terms of the fast time scale t0, we

∂Nˆ0 ∂n0 examine the limit of the dynamics as t0 → ∞ and impose the conditions = 0, = 0. This ∂t0 ∂t0 will provide us with the long-term behavior of the dynamics in the limit of large values of the fast time scale. Then, from equations (3.18) we find

λˆNˆ J A˜ Bˆ 0 = − cos(ˆη ) − sin(ˆη ) + sin(B¯tˆ− ηˆ ) ≡ Σ¯ , 2 2 0 2 0 2 0 1 Nˆ 3CˆNˆ 3 J A˜ Bˆ 0 − 0 = sin(ˆη ) − cos(ˆη ) − cos(B¯tˆ− ηˆ ) ≡ Σ¯ . (3.19) 2 8 2 0 2 0 2 0 2 Manipulating expressions (3.19) we derive the steady state phase

¯ 3CNˆ 3 ¯ ˜ ˆ B 0 ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ B (A + B cos( tˆ))( − N0) + λN0(B sin( tˆ) − J) ω20 4 ω20 cosη ˆ0 = , J 2 + A˜2 + 2A˜Bcosˆ ( B¯ tˆ) + Bˆ2 − 2JBˆ sin( B¯ tˆ) ω20 ω20 (3.20)

Equations (3.20) and (3.21) represent the slow invariant manifold (SIM) of the dynamics of (3.9) [15, 63] in terms of the fast time scale (note that the slow time scale still appears in coefficients of equation (3.21)). In order to study the bifurcations of the SIM we reconsider equations (3.19). After taking 3Cˆ ˆ 2 the squares of both equations, adding them and introducing the new variable z = 1 − 4 N0 we derive the equation

3Cˆ P (z) = z3 − z2 + λˆ2z − λˆ2 + Σ¯ = 0, (3.22) 4 where Σ¯ = A˜2 + 2A˜Bˆ cos( B¯ tˆ) + Bˆ2 + J 2 − 2JBˆ sin( B¯ tˆ). From the derivative of the above ω20 ω20 cubic polynomial P 0(z) = 3z2 − 2z + λˆ2, (3.23) we see that, for λˆ > √1 , P (z) is a monotone increasing function and therefore has only one real 3 √ 1± 1−3λˆ2 root, while for λˆ < √1 , P 0(z) equals zero for z = , and depending on the value of Σ¯ 3 3 the polynomial P (z) may have one or three real roots (Figure 3.1). When 2 3 2 81C (1 − 3λˆ ) 2 > |1 + 9λˆ − Σ¯|, (3.24) 8 it has three real roots, otherwise only one. The roots Nˆ 2 = 4 (1 − z ) are positive. We note that 0 3Cˆ 0 when 2 81C 2 3 |1 + 9λˆ − Σ¯| = (1 − 3λˆ ) 2 , (3.25) 8 for a certain value of time, two of the three real roots are equal and saddle-node bifurcations occur. The above analysis with multiple scales is equivalent to singularity analysis by taking the slow time tˆ→ B¯tˆ. Then system (3.16) becomes

N 0 = f(N, n, tˆ), Nn0 = g(N, n, tˆ) (3.26) and at the singular limit ( = 0) we have f = g = 0 which is exactly the SIM of the system. Tichonov’s theorem [59, 69] guarantees that, when the roots of f = g = 0 are isolated and at the

52 same time there exist stable solutions of

dN = f(N, n, tˆ), dτ dn N = g(N, n, tˆ), (3.27) dτ

ˆ with tˆconsidered as a parameter, then N(tˆ) → N0(tˆ), η(tˆ) → ηˆ0(tˆ) as  → 0. In order to find when the SIM is stable, according to Tichonov’s theorem, we find the linear stability of the roots of (3.19) when they are isolated. In the case when (3.25) holds the two real roots are not isolated and the time when the bifurcation occurs does not fall under Tichonov’s theorem. When the solutions are away from the bifurcation point the matrix of the linearized system around the solution of the SIM is

λˆ J A˜ Bˆ ¯ˆ ! − 2 2 sin(ˆη0) − 2 cos(ˆη0) − 2 cos(Bt − ηˆ0) 1 9Cˆ ˆ 2 J A˜ Bˆ ¯ˆ − 2 + 8 N0 2 cos(ˆη0) + 2 sin(ˆη0) − 2 sin(Bt − ηˆ0)

Where µ are the eihenvalues of the above matrix. When λˆ Σ¯ + > 0, (3.29) 1 2 and 9Cˆ λˆΣ¯ + (1 − Nˆ 2)Σ¯ > 0, (3.30) 1 4 0 2 the two roots µ1, µ2 of the characteristic polynomial have negative real parts. Using (3.19) and the variable z,(3.30) becomes 3z2 − 2z + λˆ2 > 0 (3.31) which is the derivative of P (z), calculated at the roots of the defining polynomial of the SIM (3.22). For λ > √1 ,P 0(z) is greater than zero for all z and therefore the SIM is stable. For 3 λˆ < √1 ,P 0(z) is greater than zero outside its roots which are at the same time the maximum 3 and minimum of the polynomial (3.22). Therefore the solution of P (z), that lies between the minimum and the maximum is unstable, while the lower and the higher roots (when they exist) 8 3 ¯ ˆ2 ˆ2 2 are stable. Therefore for Σ < 81C ((1 + 9λ ) − (1 − 3λ ) ) only the lower solution exists and is stable. The solutions N(tˆ), η(tˆ) of (3.16) tend to it. As time increases and the above inequality is not satisfied, two more roots appear through a saddle-node bifurcation and again disappear, 8 3 ¯ ˆ2 ˆ2 2 when Σ > 81C ((1 + 9λ ) + (1 − 3λ ) , and for this time interval only the higher root exists.

3.3 Behavior of the solutions and numerical results

Since we have found that, the steady state solutions that are lower or higher than the minimum and maximum of the polynomial P (z), are linearly asymptotically stable, i.e. hyperbolic points, they preserve their stability in the nonlinear system and have a basin of attraction for the interval of time that they exist. According to Tichonov’s theorem the orbits of the slow flow (3.16) tend to these stable branches of the SIM for the above interval of time. Therefore we perform numerical integration of (3.16) for different values of the parameters A,˜ B,ˆ , λˆ and Cˆ = 2 in order to study what is the relative position of the amplitude of the orbit of the slow flow after some time in comparison with the position of the SIM. First we consider the case when the SIM has a single branch. The conditions for this case are: (i) λˆ > √1 , 3 1 8 2 2 3 or (iia) λˆ < √ and Σ¯ < ((1 + 9λˆ ) − (1 − 3λˆ ) 2 ), for all time, 3 81Cˆ 1 8 2 2 3 or (iib) λˆ < √ and Σ¯ > ((1 + 9λˆ ) + (1 − 3λˆ ) 2 ), for all time. 3 81Cˆ From the above theoretical analysis, we expect that, for these conditions since we have no

54 bifurcations, the orbits of the slow flow tend to the stable SIM. This is confirmed by direct numerical simulation of system (3.16) which is depicted in Figure 3.2 and compared to the asymptotic solution predicted by the SIM (3.21) or (3.22).

(a) A˜ = 0.0748516, Bˆ = 0.674394,J = 0.00666891, Cˆ = 2,  = 0.001, λˆ = 0.8

(b) A˜ = 1, Bˆ = 1,J = 1, Cˆ = 2,  = 0.001, λˆ = 0.2 Figure 3.2: The case where the SIM has always one stable branch (gray solid line: SIM, black dashed line: N(t) of (3.16))

We now consider the second case when the SIM has three branches, two of which are stable and one is unstable. The condition for this case is: 1 8 2 2 3 8 2 2 3 λˆ < √ and ((1 + 9λˆ ) − (1 − 3λˆ ) 2 ) < Σ¯ < ((1 + 9λˆ ) + (1 − 3λˆ ) 2 ). 3 81Cˆ 81Cˆ In this case we also have no bifurcations, and for all time the SIM possesses three branches (Figure 3.3). For different initial conditions the orbits of the slow flow either tend to the upper or to the lower stable branches of the SIM. The third case is when relaxation oscillations occur, with the dynamics making transitions between the two stable branches of the SIM. In this case bifurcations occur as the orbits of the dynamical system undergo transitions between all branches of the SIM. For a certain period of the slow time scale only the upper branch exists. Then, after a saddle-node bifurcation, two additional branches appear, the one stable and the other unstable. This phenomenon takes place

(b) A˜ = 0.01, Bˆ = 0.2,J = 0.01, Cˆ = 2,  = 0.001, λˆ = 0.1 Figure 3.3: The case where the SIM has always three branches (gray solid line: SIM, black dashed line: N(t) of (3.16))

for a period of the slow time scale that depends on the parameters A,˜ B,ˆ λˆ and C.ˆ Then the stable upper branch and the unstable branch of the SIM coalesce through saddle-node bifurcations. Therefore, the orbits of (3.16) that are initially attracted to the upper branch of the SIM, make a sudden transition (jump) to the lower branch producing relaxation oscillations (Figure 3.4). After sufficient increase of the slow time scale the upper branch reappears and the lower one disappears again through a saddle node bifurcation. This behavior is repeated periodically and gives rise to sustained relaxation oscillations in the dynamics. These relaxation oscillations indicate strong transient energy transfer in our reduced system, from the system of linear coupled oscillators to the essentially nonlinear attachment. In the fourth case bifurcations can occur either, between the upper stable branch of the SIM and the unstable branch, or only between the lower stable branch of the SIM and the unstable branch, resulting into the disappearance of a pair of stable-unstable branches of the SIM for a certain period of the slow time scale. From the analysis of section 3 we expect that the corresponding orbit will be captured in the persisting stable branch of the SIM and this is

We note here that, when the structur of the SIM changes from the case of relacation oscilla- tions to the present case, for these values of the damping parameter λˆ, the slow flow may still perform relaxation oscillations (Figure 3.5) The fifth case corresponds to the excitation of periodic or non periodic orbits of the slow flow for certain initial conditions. For sufficiently small values of damping λˆ the orbits of (3.16) may oscillate rapidly, while approaching the stable branch of the SIM, and follow it until the time where there is bifurcations between the stable and the unstable brances of the SIM. Then an orbit is excited and the entire phenomenon it repeated (Figures 3.7).

Depending on the parameters of the system, we have shown through dynamical analysis and Tikhonov’s theorem, that the SIM can either have one branch that is stable, or three branches, two which are stable and one unstable. For relatively large values of the damping parameter, the structure of the SIM is simple and the orbits of the system are attracted by it.

59 The interplay between the stable and the unstable branches of the SIM produces interesting dynamical phenomena of the slow flow such as orbit captures, relaxation oscillations, excitations of periodic orbits and possible chaotic orbits. Orbit capture occurs when there is one or two persisting stable branches of the SIM (i.e., stable SIM branches that are not eliminated through bifurcations as slow time increases). In the case when a single persisting stable branch of the SIM exists, it seems to be globally attractive and the long term behavior of the orbits is simple, since they simply tend to it with increasing time. In the case where one of the stable branches persists and the other two branches bifurcate (e.g., Figure 3.6) the orbit always relaxes to the persistent stable branch. This behavior can be predicted in terms of the parameters defining the SIM A,˜ B,ˆ λˆ and Cˆ in equations (3.21) and (3.22). Relaxation oscillations occur when we have bifurcations of all three branches of the SIM and this type of dynamics is related to energy transfer of the system, from the linear oscillators to the essentially nonlinear attachment. In the fifth case, the excitation of orbit may indicate a possible chaotic behavior of the slow flow of the system. This possibility is investigated in the next chapter. The exact conditions required for the SIM to have various topologies were found in this work analytically. This allows us to predict the values of the system parameters for which the dynamics have a certain type of behavior.

60 Chapter 4

The dynamics of the slow flow

In the previous chapter we showed that the structure of the SIM is related to the parameters and the initial conditions of the system, specially the damping parameter λˆ. We studied the different cases of the SIM and its bifurcations as time evolves. We also showed that several phenomena appears in the slow flow such as relaxation oscillations, orbit excitations and possible chaotic behavior, especially when the damping parameter is small. On this chapter we study the dynamical behavior of slow flow of the system, investigating the possible chaotic behavior and the different relaxation oscillations. From the numerical simulations, for a wide variety of parameters, we show that the slow flow has rich dynamics, depending in the parameters of the system, with relaxation oscillations, regular orbits and chaotic behavior.

4.1 The dynamics of the slow flow

We consider the reduced system (3.9)

ω B¯ w00 + λwˆ 0 + Cwˆ 3 = Asinˆ ( 1 tˆ) + Bsinˆ (1 + tˆ) + O(), ω20 ω20 where

ˆ C ˆ λ ˆ A ˆ B C = 2 , λ = , A = 2 , B = 2 , ω20 ω20 ω20 ω20 A = (d − dK1)z10,B = (d − dK2)z20.

After applying the complexification- averaging technique [46, 63] by introducing the complex coefficient Ψ = w0 + jw and make the important additional assumption that the considered dynamics is dominated by a single normalized ’fast’ frequency equal to unity, i.e. Ψ = ϕejt, we derive the averaged complex dynamical system

ˆ ˆ ˜ ˆ ¯ 0 λ j 3Cj 2 J jA Bj j B tˆ φ + ( + )φ − |φ| φ + + + e ω20 = 0, 2 2 8 2 2 2

61 where ˆ Aω20ω1 ω1 J = 2 2 (cos( 2π) − 1), π(ω1 − ω20) ω20 ˆ 2 ˜ Aω20 ω1 A = 2 2 sin( 2π). π(ω1 − ω20) ω20 With the use of the polar representation of the complex number ϕ = N(t)eiη(t), after separating the real and imaginary parts, we obtain the following two equations for the amplitude N and the phase η. λNˆ J A˜ Bˆ B¯ N 0 = − − cos(η) − sin(η) + sin( tˆ− η), 2 2 2 2 ω20 N 3CNˆ 3 J A˜ Bˆ B¯ Nη0 = − + + sin(η) − cos(η) − cos( tˆ− η). 2 8 2 2 2 ω20 This represents the slow flow for the N and η variables. For convenience in the numerical simulations we do not use the amplitude N and the phase

(4.1) 2 2 8 2 2 ω20 In the previous chapter we found analytically that the SIM may have one branch that is always stable, three branches, where the two are stable and the one that lies between them unstable, or may have bifurcations between all of them. In order to study the dynamics of the slow flow we take numerical simulations for different initial conditions and values of the parameters. We calculate the bifurcation diagram for certain initial condition and different values of the damping parameter λˆ. The SIM and the the slow flow is given for certain values of λˆ. In order to study if there is chaotic behavior of the slow flow we calculated the maximal Lyapunov Characteristic Exponent [56] and the Poincare section for many different initial conditions. We made a high number of simulations, presenting here some characteristic examples. The overall behavior of the slow flow is the following: Regular Orbits. In this case, the slow flow oscillates regularly in the region of the stable branch of the SIM. As predicted by Tikhonov’s theorem if there is one stable or two separate stable branches of the SIM the slow flow will fall in the basins of attraction of one of the stable branches of the SIM. For example, for the parameters A˜ = −0.075, Bˆ = 0.614,J = 0.063,  = 0.1, B¯ = ω20 −0.138, for different values of the damping parameter λˆ, the slow flow has only regular orbits. This is what we expected because the SIM has only one stable branch and the slow flow oscillates regularly in the region near this branch with always negative values of the maximal Lyapunov Characteristic Exponent (Figure 4.1).

62 The Poincare section shows that, in the limiting process, the orbits are attracted to a periodic one. The same behavior is seen for several values of the parameters, where the SIM has only one stable branch (Figure 4.2). The same behavior is seen for the parameters A˜ = −0.113, Bˆ = 0.124,J = 0.135,  = 0.1, B¯ = −0.073, λˆ = 0.01, (Figure 4.3-a,b) where the SIM has three branches and the slow ω20 flow oscillates in one of the stable branches of the SIM. The negative maximal Lyapunov Exponent and the Poincare sections, show that the slow flow has only regular orbits in the above case. When λˆ increase, for example for λˆ = 0.2, the structure of the SIM change and the system undergoes saddle - node bifurcations (Figures 4.3- c,d). As can be seen, although the system undergo saddle - node bifurcation, the orbits of the slow flow oscillates in the region of the stable branch of the SIM and no relaxation oscillation occurs in contrast to what we will see in the next case. In both cases the orbits of the slow flow are regular.

66 Relaxation Oscillations. They occur when there is bifurcations between all the branches, stable and unstable, of the SIM. In one case for a certain period of time only the upper branch exists. Then, after a saddle-node bifurcation, two other branches appear, the one stable and the other unstable. This phenomenon takes place for a period of time that depends in the parameters A,˜ B,ˆ λˆ and C.ˆ Then the branches of the SIM coalesce through saddle-node bifurcations. In this case the orbits of the slow flow are attracted near the stable branch of the SIM and make a sudden jump to the other stable branch when there is the bifurcation. Relaxation oscillations may exist also when there is bifurcations between two branches of the SIM (the one always unstable) while the other remain intact. This behavior occurs for values of λˆ near the values that change the structure of the SIM from the third case (relaxation oscillations) to the fourth. So, for these values of λˆ, although the structure of the SIM has changed, the slow flow still undergo relaxation oscillations (Figure 4.7). For the parameters A˜ = −0.113, Bˆ = 0.206,J = 0.135,  = 0.1, B¯ = −0.073, the ω20 bifurcation diagram shows that there is a sudden change of the regular orbit of the slow flow for λˆ ≈ 0.4 (Figure 4.4). This sudden change of the regular orbits indicates the existence of relaxation oscillations. From Figures 4.5 we see that in fact, for λˆ < 0.4, the slow flow has relaxation oscillations. That means that the slow flow oscillates regularly in the region of the stable branch of the SIM until the time that saddle node bifurcation occurs and the the slow flow jumps to the region of the other, stable branch of the SIM, where it oscillates regularly.

For the parameters A˜ = −0.093, Bˆ = −0.175,J = 0.105,  = 0.1, B¯ = −0.055, the ω20 bifurcation diagram shows that the regular orbit has also a sudden change (Figure 4.6). As we see in Figures 4.7 for λˆ < 0.1, as we expect from the bifurcation diagram, the slow flow performs relaxation oscillation. The slow flow oscillates regularly and then there is

For λˆ = 0.1 the orbit of the slow flow oscillates near the stable branch of the SIM, and for certain initial conditions it may oscillate in the upper stable branch, then jump when we have the bifurcation, to the lower stable branch and stay there. This is the special case, that we mentioned above, where we see that even though the structure of the SIM is changed from the third case to the fourth, the slow flow still performs relaxation oscillations. This is due to the fact that the branches of the SIM are closed and the orbit may jump from the one basin of attraction to the other. We must indicate here, that the maximal LCEs are negative and there is only one point in the Poincare sections for different initial conditions, showing that the orbits of the slow flow are regular in the above cases of relaxation oscillations and are attracted to a periodic orbit. Many other examples of relaxation oscillations are given in Figure (4.8)

70 Chaotic Behavior. For different values of the parameters, A,˜ B,Jˆ and the damping parameter λˆ, there is chaotic behavior. We may have chaotic orbits in the case where the SIM has more than one stable branches that bifurcate. For the parameters A˜ = −0.111, Bˆ = 0.178,J = 0.109,  = 0.1, B¯ = −0.335 the ω20 bifurcation diagram has also two regions with bifurcations (Figure 4.9), the first one for values of λˆ < 0.02 and the second for 0.06 < λˆ < 0.1. Also for λˆ < 0.3 there is a sudden change of the periodic orbit of the slow flow that indicates the existence of relaxation oscillations. In the first region, for λˆ = 0.01 the slow flow oscillates near the stable branch of the SIM with positive values of the maximal Lyapunov Characteristic Exponent and a chaotic attractor as given in Figure 4.10. Another example of chaotic behavior of the slow flow is given for the parameters A˜ = −0.127, Bˆ = 0.139,J = 0.125,  = 0.1, B¯ = −0.328. The bifurcation diagram (Figure 4.11) ω20 indicates that there are also two regions of chaotic behavior. The first one is for values of the damping parameter λˆ < 0.005 and the second for 0.05 < λˆ < 0.07. Also for λˆ < 0.1 there is a sudden change and the slow flow performs relaxation oscillations Indeed, for λˆ = 0.059 the slow flow performs relaxation oscillations and chaotic behavior with a chaotic attractor as given in Figure 4.12.

4.2 Conclusions

The slow flow of a three degree of freedom dissipative system of linear coupled oscillators with an essentially nonlinear attachment has rich dynamics. There are cases when the slow flow oscillates near the region of the SIM regularly and is attracted to a periodic orbit. When the SIM has saddle node bifurcations the slow flow has relaxation oscillation. It is interesting to note that when we have bifurcations of the SIM, in one hand, the system may have regular behavior and in the other hand, for different values of the parameters, may have chaotic behavior and therefore the slow flow becomes unpredictable.

The effect of the Slow Invariant Manifold and the Slow Flow on the energy transfer and dissipation of the initial system

As it is known from the literature [15, 13, 63], energy transfer and dissipation in a system of coupled linear and nonlinear oscillators is directly connected with the bifurcations of the SIM and the dynamics of the slow flow. In the previous chapters we showed that the slow flow of the system has rich dynamics, we also made a classification of the different cases of the SIM and defined analytically the conditions for each case. In this chapter we study the effect of the Slow Invariant Manifold and the dynamics of the slow flow of the system on the energy transfer from the linear to the nonlinear oscillator and the dissipation of the total energy of the initial system. From our numerical results we confirm that the SIM, its bifurcations and the dynamics of the slow flow, play an essential role in the energy transfer and dissipation of the system. The chapter is organized as follows. In the first section we calculate the energy of the system. In the second section we present numerical simulations for each case of the SIM and the behavior of the system’s energy transfer and dissipation. Finally we conclude in the third section.

5.1 The energy of the system

In order to study the effect of the SIM and the slow flow on the energy transfer and dissipation of our initial system we will study the rate of the total energy dissipation of the system. In order to do so, we use as a tool the graph of the of the total energy versus time for the different cases of the SIM.

77 Furthermore, in order to study the possible energy transfer from the linear to the nonlinear oscillators we calculate the instantaneous energy that is stored in the nonlinear oscillator. The total energy of the system is calculated by the Hamiltonian of the initial system (3.1) without the dissipative terms and it is given by

1 C d a ener(t) = (y˙2 +x ˙ 2 +x ˙ 2) + (y − x )4 + (x − x )2 + x2.

5.2 Numerical Simulations

As we discussed in the second chapter, the damping parameter λˆ plays an essential role in the bifurcations of the SIM and the dynamics of the slow flow. The SIM may have one branch that is always stable, three branches, two of them stable and the one that lies between them unstable, or it may bifurcate. In what follows we present numerical simulations for different sets of parameters and initial conditions.

The structure of the SIM depends on the parameters a, d, and the initial conditions x˙ 0(0), x˙ 1(0) of the initial system (3.1), since the parameters A,˜ Bˆ and J are related to the parameters of the initial system through the relations (3.6), (3.8),(3.10) and (3.15). For every set of the parameters a, d there are different structures of the SIM that are related to the different initial conditions x˙ 0(0), x˙ 1(0) and affects the dynamics of the initial system. First, we study the cases where the SIM has no bifurcations and the slow flow has regular orbits, i.e. when the SIM has always one branch or when the SIM has always three branches. In Figures (5.1)-(5.3) we present some examples where the SIM has only one stable branch. In these cases the slow flow follows the SIM. The total energy of the system dissipates smoothly and, as we observe i n the diagrams of the instantaneous energy that is stored in the nonlinear oscillator, there is no energy transfer from the linear to the nonlinear oscillator. An important remark here is that for the cases where the slow flow oscillates rapidly before it follows the SIM (Figures 5.4-5.5), we detect energy transfer to the nonlinear oscillator of the system in the time interval before the slow flow follows the SIM. Furthermore, in these cases, the total energy of the system dissipates faster for the time interval when the slow flow oscillates rapidly around the SIM, than the period of time when the slow flow follows the SIM. The same behavior, as in the case where the SIM has only one stable branch, is seen when the SIM has always three branches (Figure 5.6). The amount of energy that is transfered from the linear to the nonlinear oscillator depends on the initial conditions, i.e. the initial energy that is given to the system.

The next case in our study is where the SIM bifurcates. As we observe in Figures (5.7-5.9), in this case, energy is transferred to the nonlinear oscillator, irrespectively whether the slow flow performs relaxation oscillations or not. The rate of the total energy dissipation depends on whether energy is transferred to the nonlinear oscillator or not. Specifically, the systems disipates energy faster in the time intervals when there is energy transfer to the nonlinear oscillator. We must indicate here that the behavior of the initial system, in the case where the slow flow oscillates rapidly until it follows the SIM (with no bifurcations), differs from its behavior when

5.3 Conclusions

From the above study we conclude that the bifurcations of the SIM and the dynamics of the slow flow play an important role in the energy transfer from the linear to the nonlinear oscillator and the dissipation of the total energy of the initial system. When the SIM has no bifurcations, there is no energy transfer from the linear to the nonlinear oscillator and the energy dissipates smoothly. When the SIM has bifurcations, then energy transfer occurs. Furthermore, when there is energy transfer to the nonlinear oscillator, the rate of the dissipation of the total energy of the system becomes larger. When the slow flow oscillates rapidly around the SIM, the energy is transfered to the nonlinear oscillator. The amount of energy that transfers is related to the initial energy given to the system. The damping parameter λˆ determines whether the SIM bifurcates, that is, in order for the SIM to bifurcate, the damping parameter must satisfy the relation λˆ < √1 . Therefore, from the 3 above analysis, we conclude that the damping parameter determines the ability of the system to transfer energy from the linear to the nonlinear oscillator and plays a role in the rate of the total energy dissipation of the system.

A nonlinear electric circuit for experimental implementation of the system

In the last decades, research activities in systems of nonlinear oscillators resulted in a lot of publications on phenomena that such systems exhibit [6, 7]. Also, the interesting dynamical behavior, which these systems have shown, has triggered an investigation in possible applications of such systems in various scientific fields, such as secure communications [58], cryptography [72], broadband communication systems [11] random number generators [73, 74], radars [32], robots [75] and in variety of complex physical, chemical and biological systems [57]. Such systems can be easily implemented by nonlinear electrical circuits [38, 76]. The first who did this was Professor Leon Chua in 1983. At that time, there was a deep desire to implement nonlinear circuits that allow the experimental demonstration of various phenomena, especially chaos, in order to refuse the claim that these phenomena were only a mathematical invention. This led Chua to investigate the possibility of designing an autonomous circuit behaving in a chaotic way [8]. So, this approach helps us to make experiments testing the dynamical behavior of nonlinear oscillators. In this Chapter we present a nonlinear electrical circuit that implements the reduced system (3.9). In more details, the reduced system is a Duffing-type nonlinear oscillator, which is driven by two sinusoidal voltage sources with different frequencies. We have made the simulations of the electrical circuit with the use of the MultiSim platform and we have also solved numerically the nonlinear system of differential equations using programming languages, such as Mathematica and TrueBasic. Furthermore, the estimation of maximal Lyapunov Exponent and the Poincare sections help us to identify the dynamical behavior of the above system. Finally, various types of oscillation such as periodic, quasiperiodic, and chaotic have been shown. The chapter is organized as follows. In the first section, the proposed nonlinear system and the electric circuit, which realizes the system, are presented. The dynamical behavior of the

91 proposed system and the simulation results are presented in Section two. Finally, the conclusion remarks are presented in Section three.

6.1 The Nonlinear System and the Proposed Electric Circuit

The reduced system (3.9) is described by the following set of differential equations:

dx = y, dt dy = −λy − Cx3 + A sin(2πf τ) + B sin(2πf τ), (6.1) dt 11 22 where x ≡ w of the reduced system (3.9), λ is the damping parameter, C is the coefficient of the nonlinear term, A, B are the amplitudes of the external sinusoidal excitations, 2πf11 =

ω1, 2πf22 = ω2 and f11, f22 their frequencies. We must notice here, that although there are no limits in the values of the frequencies, interesting dynamical phenomena occur, when the ratio of the frequencies is irrational. The circuit topology that was adopted in the MultiSim platform in order to realize the system’s equations (6.1), is presented in Figure (6.1).

The proposed circuit consists of two identical operational amplifiers U1, U2(LF 411), and two multipliers U3,U4(AD734AN). Also, it should be mentioned that the signals x and y represent the voltages at the outputs of the operational amplifiers U1 and U2, while U3 and U4 realize the cubic term Cx3. Finally, the DC voltages used for all the ICs were V ± = ±15V .

In the system’s equations (6.1), parameters λ, C, A, B, f11 and f22 are defined as follows:

R1 R1 R1 λ = ,C = ,A = V1, 2R5 200R2 2R3 R1 R1c R1c B = V2, f11 = f1, f22 = f2. (6.2) 2R4 2 2

1 R1c Also, the normalized time (τ) is τ = α t, whereα = 2 is the time constant of the circuit. The circuit’s elements values are: R1 = 10kΩ and c = 10nF , while the rest of the components

(R2,R3,R4,R5,V1,V2, f11 and f22) can be varied, in order to have a complete view of the dependence of the circuit on the values of the system’s parameters.

6.2 Simulation Results

We have studied the above circuit of Figure (6.1) using the Multisim platform and programming languages such as Mathematica and TrueBasic. The parameter C was fixed to be C = 0.2 , while the amplitudes A, B and the frequencies f11, f22 of the voltage sources respectively, can be varied.

In the case of the system stimulated by only one voltage source, U0 sin(2πft), the bifurcation diagrams x vs.U0, are shown in Figure 6.2, for λ = 0.10 and f = 0.07, f = 0.13 respectively. In the case f11 = f22 = f, the system follows the dynamics of the single source, where U0 = A+B.

In Figure (6.3-a), the simulated phase portrait is shown, while in Figure (6.3-b), the phase portrait is shown obtained by using the Multisim platform. In the case A = 0 and B = 4, only the second voltage source is activated, and the phase portraits of the system are shown in Figure (6.4).

In the case A = 4 and B = 4, both voltage sources are activated, and the phase portraits of the system are shown in Figure (6.5). The system’s dynamics is chaotic with positive value of the maximal Lyapunov Characteristic Exponent equals to 0.0281. The Poincare section of the system is shown in Figure (6.6) exhibiting multi-band chaos. In the case A = 7,B = 15, The phase portraits y vs. x are shown in Figure (6.7), and the Poincare sections in Figure (6.8). In Figure (6.8-a), the surface of section is determined by the relation Mod(γ1(t), 2π) = 0, while in Figure (6.8-b) by the relation Mod(γ2(t), 2π) = 0. The maximal Lyapunov Characteristic Exponent is equal to 0.0350. As the value of the damping parameter λ is increased, the complexity of the system, when only one voltage source is activated, is decreased, as it is shown in Figures (6.9) and (6.10). A similar behavior is observed, when the

102 Quasiperiodicity

For λ = 0.10,C = 0.2, f11 = 0.70 and f22 = 1.835 the system is in a period-1 state for all values of amplitude, when only one voltage source is activated. When both sources are activated, the system’s behavior is changed. In Figure (6.11), the phase portraits are shown for A = −20.2 and B = 82.3. In this case high periodicity is observed. The negative sign of A means a phase difference of 1800.

103 damping factor, i.e. for A = 20.2,B = 82.3, f11 = 0.70, f22 = 1.835,C = 0.2 and λ = 0.15, the phase portraits of the system are shown in Figure (6.14), while the Poincare section is shown in Figure (6.15). The three closed curves indicate quasiperiodic behavior, but in this case we have a three-torus attractor. To the best of our knowledge, a three-tori attractor has been observed only by Manimehan et al. [47] in a modified canonical Chua’s circuit.

6.3 Conclusions

In the present chapter, we have studied a Duffing-type circuit driven by two sinusoidal voltage sources having different frequencies. The state equations of the system were simulated by an electric nonlinear circuit, in order to use the Multisim platform, and compare the results of this real time platform with the results of the numerical simulation by using programming languages (Mathematica and TrueBasic). The simulations confirmed the rich dynamics of the above nonlinear system. Depending on the system parameters, periodic, quasiperiodic and chaotic oscillations were observed. Important role in the dynamics of the system plays the damping parameter λ, and the frequencies f11 and f22 of the external sinusoidal voltage sources. The simultaneous excitation of the circuit by two different input signals gives rise to unpredictable dynamics and the response of the system, i.e. the output signal, can be used as a random generator. The quasiperiodic behavior and the observation of a 3-tori attractor is quite a new dynamics for a Duffing-type system.

Epilogue and suggestions for further work

Linear and nonlinear coupled oscillators may transfer energy between them. This phenomenon can be very important in a wide variety of mechanical, electronic and other applications. In our work we studied a dissipative system composed of two coupled linear oscillators and a nonlinear oscillator that interacts through an essential nonlinearity with one of the linear oscillators. The mass of the nonlinear attachment is small in comparison to the masses of the linear oscillators and therefore the problem is singular. The Slow Invariant Manifolds and the slow flow of the system play important role on the dynamics of the system and affect the energy transfer from the linear to the nonlinear oscillator and the rate of the total energy dissipation. 0 0 Depending on the parameters and the initial conditions (x0(0), x1 (0)) of the system, we have shown through dynamical analysis and Tikhonov’s theorem, that the SIM can either have one branch that is stable or three branches, two branches stable and a third unstable branch that lies between them, or it may bifurcate. The damping parameter λˆ is essential for the behavior of the SIM. For values of λˆ > √1 the 3 SIM has always one stable branch. For values of of λˆ < √1 the SIM may have always three 3 branches or bifurcate. According to Tichonov’s theorem the orbits of the slow flow tend to these stable branches of the SIM for the interval of time that they exist. The structure of the SIM may be classified in five cases. The first case is when the SIM has a single branch, there are no bifurcations and the orbits of the slow flow tend to the stable branch of the SIM. The second case is when the SIM has three branches, two of them are stable and one between them unstable. On this case there are also no bifurcations. The SIM possesses three branches and for different initial conditions the orbits of the slow flow either tend to the upper or to the lower stable branch of the SIM.

109 The third case is when relaxation oscillations occur, with the slow flow to make transitions between the two stable branches of the SIM. In this case bifurcations occur as the orbits of the dynamical system undergo transitions between all branches of the SIM. For a certain period of the slow time scale only the upper branch exists. Then, after a saddle-node bifurcation, two additional branches appear, the one stable and the other unstable. This phenomenon takes place for a period of the slow time scale that depends on the parameters A,˜ B,ˆ λˆ and C.ˆ Then the stable upper branch and unstable branch of the SIM coalesce through saddle-node bifurcations. Therefore, the orbits of the slow flow that are initially attracted to the upper branch of the SIM, make a sudden transition (jump) to the lower branch producing relaxation oscillations. After sufficient increase of the slow time scale the upper branch reappears and the lower one disappears again through a saddle node bifurcation. This behavior is repeated periodically and gives rise to sustained relaxation oscillations in the dynamics. The fourth case is when bifurcations can occur either, between the upper stable branch of the SIM and the unstable branch, or only between the lower stable branch of the SIM and the unstable branch, resulting into the disappearance of a pair of stable-unstable branches of the SIM for a certain period of the slow time scale. The orbit of the slow flow is captured in the persisting stable branch of the SIM or in extreme cases, for values of the damping parameter λˆ that change the structure of the SIM from the third case to the fourth case, the slow flow may still perform relaxation oscillations. Finally, the fifth case corresponds to the excitation of periodic or non periodic orbits for certain initial conditions. For sufficiently small values of damping λˆ the orbits of the slow flow may oscillate rapidly, while approaching the stable branch of the SIM, and follow it until the time where there is bifurcations between the stable and the unstable branches of the SIM. Then an orbit is excited and the entire phenomenon is repeated. As we discussed earlier, when bifurcations occur as the orbits of the dynamical system undergo transitions between all branches of the SIM, the slow flow makes relaxation oscillations. We note that, in most of the cases, when relaxation oscillations occur, the maximal LCEs are negative and there is only one point in the Poincare sections for different initial conditions, showing that the orbits of the slow flow are regular and are attracted to a periodic orbit. For different values of the parameters there is chaotic behavior. This may occur for different values of the damping parameter λˆ for which the SIM has more than one stable branches that bifurcate. When there is chaotic behavior, the slow flow oscillates rapidly near the branches of the SIM. Energy transfer from the linear to the nonlinear oscillator and the rate of the total energy dissipation is related to the SIM, its bifurcation, and the dynamics of the slow flow. When the SIM has no bifurcations and the slow flow has regular orbits, that is, when the SIM has always one branch or when the SIM has always three branches, there is no energy transfer from the linear to the nonlinear oscillator. In the contrary, when the slow flow oscillates rapidly before it follows the SIM, we detect

110 energy transfer to the nonlinear oscillator of the system for the time interval before the slow flow follows the SIM. Furthermore, on these cases, the total energy of the system dissipates faster for the time interval that the slow flow oscillates rapidly around the SIM, than that for which the slow flow follows the SIM. When the SIM bifurcates, eventhough the slow flow performs relaxation oscillation or not, the system transfers energy to the nonlinear oscillator. The rate of the total energy dissipation differs from a time interval to another. Specifically, the systems disipates energy faster when there is energy transfer to the nonlinear oscillator. In our work we proposed a nonlinear electrical circuit that implements the reduced system (3.9). Our aim was to propose an experimental setup where we could investigate the different behaviors of the system. The reduced system is a Duffing-type nonlinear oscillator, which is driven by two sinusoidal voltage sources with different frequencies and has rich dynamics. Depending on the system parameters, periodic, quasiperiodic and chaotic oscillations were observed. As we expected by our analysis, and confirmed by the experimental study, important role in the dynamics of the system plays the damping parameter λ. Additionally, important role play the frequencies f11 and f22 of the external sinusoidal voltage sources. The simultaneous excitation of the circuit by two different input signals gives rise to unpre- dictable dynamics and the response of the system, i.e. the output signal, can be used as a random generator. The quasiperiodic behavior and the observation of a 3-tori attractor is quite a new dynamics for a Duffing-type system.

Suggestions for further work:

1. A more detailed study of the system for small values of the damping parameter λˆ  0.1.

2. The relation between the chaotic behavior and the energy transfer and dissipation of the system.

3. Study the behavior of the system for the subharmonic resonances (1:3) and (1:5).

4. Study similar systems with non essential nonlinearities.

5. Study similar systems with higher order nonlinearity, compare the different behaviors of the SIM, the slow flow and the energy transfer and dissipation.

6. Further investigation of the nonlinear electric circuit and possible applications on electronic devices.

7. Proposal of a nonlinear electric circuit that implements the initial system.

RMS-DC Converter Performance approximately 78 dB, which corresponds to a computed third-order intercept point of +46 dBm. LOW DISTORTION MIXER The AD734’s low noise and distortion make it especially suitable for use as a mixer, modulator, or demodulator. Although the AD734’s –3 dB bandwidth is typically 10 MHz and is established by the output amplifier, the bandwidth of its X and Y interfaces and the multiplier core are typically in excess of 40 MHz. Thus, provided that the desired output signal is less than 10 MHz, as would typically be the case in demodulation, the AD734 can be used with both its X and Y input signals as high as 40 MHz. One test of mixer performance is to linearly combine two closely spaced, equal-amplitude sinusoidal signals and then mix them with a third signal to determine the mixer’s 2-tone Third-Order Intermodulation Products.

The LF411 series of internally trimmed JFET input op amps (BI-FET II™ ) provide very low input offset voltage and specified input offset voltage drift. These JFETs have large reverse breakdown voltages from gate to source and drain eliminating the need for clamps across the inputs. Therefore, large differential input voltages can easily be accommodated without a large increase in input current. The maximum differential input voltage is independent of the supply voltages. However, neither of the input voltages should be allowed to exceed the negative supply as this will cause large currents to flow which can result in a destroyed unit. BI-FET II™ Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input will force the output to a high state, potentially causing a reversal of phase to the output. Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on both inputs will force the amplifier output to a high state. In neither case does a latch occur since raising the input back within the common-mode range again puts the input stage and thus the amplifier in a normal operating mode. Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a single input will not change the phase of the output; however, if both inputs exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier may be forced to a high state. The amplifier will operate with a common-mode input voltage equal to the positive supply; however, the gain bandwidth and slew rate may be decreased in this condition. When the negative common-mode voltage swings to within 3V of the negative supply, an increase in input offset voltage may occur.

The LF411 is biased by a zener reference which allows normal circuit operation on ±4.5V power supplies. Supply voltages less than these may result in lower gain bandwidth and slew rate. The LF411 will drive a 2 kΩ load resistance to ±10V over the full temperature range. If the amplifier is forced to drive heavier load currents, however, an increase in input offset voltage may occur on the negative voltage swing and finally reach an active current limit on both positive and negative swings. Precautions should be taken to ensure that the power supply for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards in a socket as an unlimited current surge through the resulting forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of the internal conductors and result in a destroyed unit. As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead dress, component placement and supply decoupling in order to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to an input should be placed with the body close to the input to minimize “pick-up” and maximize the frequency of the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from the input to ground. A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to AC ground set the frequency of the pole. In many instances the frequency of this pole is much greater than the expected 3 dB frequency of the closed loop gain and consequently there is negligible effect on stability margin. However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately 6 times the expected 3 dB frequency, a lead capacitor should be placed from the output to the input of the op amp. The value of the added capacitor should be such that the RC time constant of this capacitor and the resistance it parallels is greater than or equal to the original feedback pole time constant.

As it is seen in Figure (C.1) when our system has three equilibrium points, then depending in the parameters, we may have two homoclinic orbits. In our analysis this result is given by the absolute value in (C.19). For the case ρ∗ > ρ the homoclinic solution is
