Multi-Pulse Chaotic Dynamics of Circular Mesh Antenna with 1:2 Internal Resonance

Abstract

The multi-pulse homoclinic orbits and chaotic dynamics of an equivalent circular cylindrical shell for the circular mesh antenna are investigated in the case of 1:2 internal resonance in this paper for the first time. Applying the method of averaging, the four-dimensional averaged equation in the Cartesian form is obtained. The theory of normal form is used to reduce the averaged equation to a simpler form. Based on the simplified system, the energy phase method is employed to investigate the homoclinic bifurcations and the Shilnikov type multi-pulse chaotic dynamics. First, the energy difference function and the zeroes of the energy difference function are obtained. Then, the existence of the Shilnikov type multi-pulse orbits is determined. The homoclinic trees are depicted to describe the relationship among the layers diameter, the pulse numbers and the phase shift. Finally, we need to verify the condition which makes sure that any multi-pulse orbit departing from a slow sink comes back to the domain of attraction of one of the sinks. The results obtained here show the existence of the Shilnikov type multi-pulse chaotic motions of the circular mesh antenna. Numerical simulations are used to find multi-pulse chaotic motions. The results of the theoretical analysis are in qualitative agreement with the results obtained using numerical simulation.

Theoretical analysis of nonlinear dynamic behaviors of an articulated hoop truss antenna with 3:1 internal resonance

“…Therefore, to provide further guidance for the structural design and vibration suppression of the HTAs, it is crucial to investigate and predict nonlinear dynamic behaviors of 3:1 internal resonance of the HTAs thoroughly. The dynamic simplification of hoop truss antennas with simple elastic continuum models, such as the equivalent ring [6,7], the equivalent shell [8][9][10][11][12], and the beam-ring structure [13] have been proposed to conduct effective dynamic analysis of HTAs. Liu et al [6] investigated the natural characteristics of a hoop truss based on the presented equivalent circular ring model, in which the equivalent beams are established to simplify the repetitive units of the circular truss [7].…”

“…Finally, Carbajal and Navarro (2020) presented another dynamic vibration control plot, which depends on powerful vibration absorbers for numerous recurrences, that is, constrained vibration constriction; this dynamic vibration has directed the following assignments for the straight vibrating mechanical framework. Moreover, Sun et al (2017) examined the multi-pulse homoclinic orbits and chaotic dynamics of an equivalent circular cylindrical shell for the circular antenna by using the energy-phased manner for high-dimensional nonlinear systems within the primary parametric and 1:2 internal resonances. Also, Zhang et al (2019c) inspected the potential use of an equal continuous cylindrical shell framework to analyze the vibration of a ring truss structure for a huge deployable circular antenna clamped along one generatrix.…”
