Compound Bursting of a Bio-inspired Nonlinear Oscillator Under Fast-slow Excitation and Time Delay
摘要
Bio-inspired oscillators can offer efficient structural performance to meet the requirements of engineering problems. Meanwhile, due to the birhythmicity of biology, they also possess the characteristics of fast-slow and time delay. However, many studies did not take into account their effect on the system. In order to find the performance, this paper explores the bifurcation and bursting patterns in a bio-inspired nonlinear oscillator under slow externally excitation and time delay. We conduct the bifurcation analysis as well as derive the conditions of fold and Hopf bifurcation.
MethodThe stability of equilibrium point is discussed by utilizing the eigenvalue theory of linearized systems. Moreover, the mechanism of bursting oscillation is revealed by employing transformed phase trajectory.
ResultsThe symmetric fold-fold bursting and symmetric Hopf-Hopf bursting are identified by tuning the time-delay gain coefficient and the time-delay. In particular, the symmetric double-Hopf/double-Hopf bursting is observed under certain time-delay parameter conditions.
