Energy function and complex dynamics from a jerk system

Abstract

Jerk, as a mathematical concept, is used in mechanics to describe the rate of change of acceleration and plays a crucial role in the design of control systems for machines and vehicles. Therefore, it is important to master the various states and the energy released during the change of acceleration. This is why a new simple jerk function introduced afterward, energy released, is derived from a Hamilton function using the Helmholtz theorem. The condition of having a stable or unstable rate of change of acceleration is established using Hopf bifurcation theory. Some two-parameter stability charts are then computed for a suitable selection region of the study. Using some nonlinear analysis metrics, in the unstable region of the study, the occurrence of phenomena is found, such as reverse period doubling bifurcation, antimonotonicity, and hysteresis involving the coexistence of the states in the considered jerk system. An electronic circuit is built and used to implement the mathematical expression of the jerk equation and validate the result of the theoretical investigation.
