Bifurcation Study On Fractional Non-Smooth Oscillator Containing Clearance Constraints

Bifurcation characteristics of a fractional non-smooth oscillator containing clearance constraints under sinusoidal excitation are investigated. First, the bifurcation response equation of the fractional non-smooth system is obtained via the K-B method. Second, the stability of the bifurcation response equation is analyzed, and parametric conditions for stability are acquired. The bifurcation characteristics of the fractional non-smooth system are then studied using singularity theory, and the transition set and bifurcation diagram under six different constrained parameters are acquired. Finally, the analysis of the influence of fractional terms on the dynamic characteristics of the system is emphasized through numerical simulation. Local bifurcation diagrams of the system under different fractional coefficients and orders verify that the system will present various motions, such as periodic motion, multiple periodic motion, and chaos, with the change in fractional coefficient and order. This manifestation indicates that fractional parameters have a direct effect on the motion form of this non-smooth system. Thus, these results provide a theoretical reference for investigating and repressing oscillation problems of similar systems.
