BIFURCATION TREES OF PERIOD-1 MOTIONS TO CHAOS IN A QUADRATIC NONLINEAR OSCILLATOR WITH TIME-DELAYED DISPLACEMENT

In this paper, periodic motions in a periodically forced, damped, quadratic nonlinear oscillator with time-delayed displacement are analytically predicted through' implicit discrete mappings. The implicit discrete maps are obtained from discretization of differential equation of such a quadratic nonlinear oscillator. From mapping structures, bifurcation trees of periodic motions are achieved analytically, and the corresponding stability and bifurcation analysis are completed through eigenvalue analysis. From the analytical prediction, numerical results of periodic motions are illustrated to verify such an analytical prediction.
