Abstract: Subharmonic bifurcations and chaotic dynamics are investigated both analytically and numerically for a class of ship power system. Chaos arising from heteroclinic intersections is studied with the Melnikov method. The ...

Abstract: Bifurcations and chaotic motions of a class of mechanical system subjected to a superharmonic parametric excitation or a nonlinear periodic parametric excitation are studied, respectively, in this paper. Chaos arising from ...
