Abstract In recent years, there are numerous studies on chaotic systems with special equilibrium curves having various shapes such as circle, butterfly, heart and apple. This paper describes a new 3-D chaotic dynamical system with a capsule-shaped equilibrium curve. The proposed chaotic system has two quadratic, two cubic and two quartic nonlinear terms. It is noted that the proposed chaotic system has a hidden attractor since it has an infinite number of equilibrium points. It is also established that the proposed chaotic system exhibits multi-stability with two coexisting chaotic attractors for the same parameter values but… More >

Abstract Two-dimensional transient laminar natural convection in a square cavity containing a porous medium and inclined at an angle of 30∘ is investigated numerically. The vertical walls are differentially heated, and the horizontal walls are adiabatic. The effect of Rayleigh number on heat transfer and on the road to chaos is analyzed. The natural heat transfer and the Darcy Brinkman equations are solved by using a finite volume method and a Tri Diagonal Matrix Algorithm (TDMA). The results are obtained for a porosity equal to 0.45, a Darcy number and a Prandtl respectively equal to 10⁻³ and More >

Abstract The present work deals with the global stability aspects of a simple two-degrees-of-freedom autonomous initially imperfect damped model, under step (conservative) loading. The proposed system is an extension of the classical limit point one firstly introduced by von Mises, with the addition of a linear rotational spring. The effect of its properties (stiffness and damping) are fully assessed and under certain combinations of the parameters involved a third possibility of postbuckling dynamic response is revealed. This is associated with a point attractor response on a stable prebuckling fixed point, although dynamic buckling has already occurred, More >
