MULTI-PULSE CHAOTIC DYNAMICS OF THE CANTILEVERED PIPE CONVEYING PULSATING FLUID

The multi-pulse orbits and chaotic dynamics of the cantilevered pipe conveying pulsating fluid with harmonic external force are studied in detail. The nonlinear geometric deformation of the pipe and the Kelvin constitutive relation of the pipe material are considered. The nonlinear governing equations of motion for the cantilevered pipe conveying pulsating fluid are determined by using Hamilton principle. The four-dimensional averaged equation under the case of principle parameter resonance, 1/2 subharmonic resonance and 1:2 internal resonance and primary parametric resonance is obtained by directly using the method of multiple scales and Galerkin approach to the partial differential governing equation of motion for the cantilevered pipe. The system is transformed to the averaged equation. From the averaged equation, the theory of normal form is used to find the explicit formulas of normal form. Based on normal form obtained, the energy phase method is utilized to analyze the multi-pulse global bifurcations and chaotic dynamics for the cantilevered pipe conveying pulsating fluid. The analysis of global dynamics indicates that there exist the multi-pulse jumping orbits in the perturbed phase space of the averaged equation. From the averaged equations obtained, the chaotic motions and the Shilnikov type multi-pulse orbits of the cantilevered pipe are found by using numerical simulation. The results obtained above mean the existence of the chaos for the Smale horseshoe sense for the pulsating fluid conveying cantilevered pipe.
