Published: September 2007

We consider a high-Q Duffing oscillator in a weakly nonlinear regime with the driving frequency sigma varying in time between sigma i and sigma f at a characteristic rate r. We found that the frequency sweep can cause controlled transitions between two stable states of the system. Moreover, these transitions are accomplished via a transient that lingers for a long time around the third, unstable fixed point of saddle type. We propose a simple explanation for this phenomenon, and find the transient lifetime to scale as -(ln|r-rc|)lambda r, where rc is the critical rate necessary to induce a transition and lambda r is the repulsive eigenvalue of the saddle. Experimental implications are mentioned.

The dynamics of the convergence for the stationary state considering a Duffing-like equation are investigated. The driven potential for these dynamics is supplied by a damped forced oscillator that has a piecewise linear function. Fixed points and their basins of attraction were identified and measured.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the formation of intricate patterns, or "metamorphic tongues," in a system made up of a rotor and a Duffing oscillator, highlighting their unusual quasiperiodic and chaotic behaviors.
  • Researchers use Lyapunov exponents to map out self-similar islands of stability and chaos in the system's two-dimensional parameter space.
  • Notably, quasiperiodic shrimp-shaped domains exhibit features akin to periodic systems, including complicated behaviors like torus-doubling and torus-tripling.

We are interested in the amplification of very low voltages produced by solar cells during sunset or weak sunshine. The study uses a device consisting of a Duffing oscillator, which amplifies and automatically regulates a low-voltage input, an inverter that reverses the negative voltage of one of the outputs of the oscillator, and a summing device to add the voltages of the two oscillator outputs. Experimental and theoretical investigations are conducted, and it is observed from the results that the output voltage can reach to 7.

Data-Driven Response Regime Exploration and Identification (DR2EI) is a novel and fully data-driven method for identifying and classifying response regimes of a dynamical system without requiring human intervention. This approach is a valuable tool for exploring and discovering response regimes in complex dynamical systems, especially when the governing equations and the number of distinct response regimes are unknown, and the system is expensive to sample. Additionally, the method is useful for order reduction, as it can be used to identify the most dominant response regimes of a given dynamical system.

This paper explores the dynamic characteristics and a novel event-triggered practical prescribed-time controller for four complex coupled Duffing-type MEMS resonators. Initially, the effects of mechanical coupling stiffness, electrostatic coupling stiffness, and internal system parameters on the system's dynamic behavior are examined. The analysis results provide guidance for selecting system parameters.
