Bifurcation and chaos of some strongly nonlinear relative rotation system with time-varying clearance

The dynamic equation for the relative rotation nonlinear dynamic system with time-varying clearance is investigated. Firstly, transformation parameter is deduced by using the method of MLP; the bifurcation response equations of 1/2 harmonic resonance then are generated by the method of multiple scales, while singularity analysis is employed to obtain the transition set of steady motion; further more the bifurcation characteristic and the bifurcation of the system under the situation of non-autonomy are analyzed. Finally, numerical simulation exhibits many different motions, such as periodic motion, period-doubling motion, and chaos. It is shown that the change of clearance and damp parameters may influence the motion state of the system.
