The effects of the supported angle on the stability and dynamical bifurcations of an inclined cantilevered pipe conveying fluid are investigated. First, a theoretical model of the pipe is developed through the force balance and stress-strain relationship. Second,the response surfaces, stability, and critical lines of the typical hanging system(H-S) and standing system(S-S) are discussed based on the modal analysis. Last, the bifurcation diagrams of the pipe are presented for different supported angles. It is shown that pipes will undergo a series of bifurcation processes and show rich dynamic phenomena such as buckling, Hopf bifurcation, period-doubling bifurcation, chaotic motion, and divergence motion.
We investigate a kind of noise-induced transition to noisy chaos in dynamical systems. Due to similar phenomenological structures of stable hyperbolic attractors excited by various physical realizations from a given stationary random process, a specific Poincar map is established for stochastically perturbed quasi-Hamiltonian system. Based on this kind of map, various point sets in the Poincar's cross-section and dynamical transitions can be analyzed. Results from the customary Duffing oscillator show that, the point sets in the Poincar's global cross-section will be highly compressed in one direction, and extend slowly along the deterministic period-doubling bifurcation trail in another direction when the strength of the harmonic excitation is fixed while the strength of the stochastic excitation is slowly increased. This kind of transition is called the noise-induced point-overspreading route to noisy chaos.
Due to uncertain push-pull action across boundaries between different attractive domains by random excitations,attractors of a dynamical system will drift in the phase space,which readily leads to colliding and mixing with each other,so it is very difficult to identify irregular signals evolving from arbitrary initial states.Here,periodic attractors from the simple cell mapping method are further iterated by a specific Poincare' map in order to observe more elaborate structures and drifts as well as possible dynamical bifurcations.The panorama of a chaotic attractor can also be displayed to a great extent by this newly developed procedure.From the positions and the variations of attractors in the phase space,the action mechanism of bounded noise excitation is studied in detail.Several numerical examples are employed to illustrate the present procedure.It is seen that the dynamical identification and the bifurcation analysis can be effectively performed by this procedure.
