Chaotic dynamics and subharmonic bifurcations of a soft Duffing oscillator with a non-smooth periodic perturbation and a harmonic excitation are investigated analytically in this paper. With the Fourier series, the system is expanded to the equivalent smooth system, and chaos arising from heteroclinic intersections is studied with the Melnikov method. The chaotic feature on the system parameters is investigated in detail. Some new interesting dynamic phenomena, such as chaotic bands for some excitation frequencies, are presented. The relationship between the frequency range of chaotic bands and the amplitude of the excitation as well as the damping is obtained analytically. Particularly, for some system parameters satisfying a particular relationship, chaos cannot occur for any excitation amplitudes or frequencies. Subharmonic bifurcations are investigated with a subharmonic Melnikov method. It is analytically proved that the system may undergo chaotic motions through infinite or finite odd order subharmonic bifurcations. Numerical simulations are given to verify the chaos threshold and revolution from subharmonic bifurcations to chaos obtained by analytical methods.

In this investigation, a three-dimensional (3D) axisymmetric potential well-based nonlinear piezoelectric energy harvester is proposed to increase the broadband frequency response under low-strength planar external excitation. Here, a two-dimensional (2D) planar bi-stable Duffing potential is generalized into three dimensions by utilizing axial symmetry. The resulting axisymmetric potential well has infinitely many stable equilibria and one unstable equilibria at the highest point of the potential barrier for this cantilevered oscillator.

We consider instability and localized patterns arising from the long-wave-short-wave resonance in the nonintegrable regime numerically. We study the stability and instability of elliptic-function periodic waves with respect to subharmonic perturbations, whose period is a multiple of the period of the elliptic waves. We thus find the modulational instability (MI) of the corresponding dnoidal waves.

Purpose: This study was a modest beginning to determine dominance and entrainment between three soft tissues in the larynx that can be set into flow-induced oscillation and act as sound sources. The hypothesis was that they interact as coupled oscillators with observable bifurcations as energy is exchanged between them.

Methodology: The true vocal folds, the ventricular (false) folds, and the aryepiglottic folds were part of a soft-walled airway that produced airflow for sound production.

Symmetry properties and bifurcations of viscoelastic thermovibrational convection in a square cavity.

To fill a gap in the literature about the specific dynamics of thermovibrational flow in a square cavity filled with a viscoelastic fluid when vibrations and the imposed temperature gradient are concurrent, a parametric investigation has been conducted to investigate the response of this system over a relatively wide subregion of the space of parameters (Pr_{g}=10; viscosity ratio ξ=0.5; nondimensional frequency Ω=25, 50, 75, and 100; and Ra_{ω}∈[Ra_{ω,cr},3.3×10^{4}], where Ra_{ω,cr} is the critical vibrational Rayleigh number).

This work investigates the primary and secondary resonances of an electrostatically excited double-clamped microbeam and its feasibility to be used for sensing applications. The sensor design can be excited directly in the vicinity of the primary and secondary resonances. This excitation mechanism would portray certain nonlinear phenomena and it would certainly lead in increasing the sensitivity of the device.
