Transition to Chaos in the Self-Excited System with a Cubic Double Well Potential and Parametric Forcing
Grzegorz Litak, Marek Borowiec, Arkadiusz Syta +1
We examine the Melnikov criterion for a global homoclinic bifurcation and a possible transition to chaos in case of a single degree of freedom nonlinear oscillator with a symmetric…

Chaotic Vibration of a Quarter-Car Model Excited by the Road Surface Profile
Grzegorz Litak, Marek Borowiec, Michael I. Friswell +1
The Melnikov criterion is used to examine a global homoclinic bifurcation and transition to chaos in the case of a quarter car model excited kinematically by the road surface profi…
