Nonlinear dynamics and stability analysis of horizontal vibration for rolling system with gyro-precession and eccentricity effects by Chaofan Sun, Wu Zhao, Wei Liu, Guiquan Han, Yuqi Chen, Xiangwen Kong

“…Secondly, according to Runge-Kutta method, the chaos threshold of the dissipative system is obtained through the abrupt change point of the phase trajectory topology structure. By taking the force fluctuation amplitude above the chaotic critical threshold, it is analyzed the systematic bifurcation and maximum Lyapunov exponent to explore the systematic stability in the unstable state space, which reveal the effect of parameters variation on the nonlinear dynamic behavior of systematic horizontal vibration. …”
