Features of dynamic processes in the “indentor – coating” system during tests on a tribometer

Abstract

The features of a nonlinear model of the indenter-coating tribosystem of a tribometer are considered. It is shown that with an increase in the amplitude of harmonic perturbation, the dynamic system goes through the stage of doubling the cycle and passes into the regime of deterministic chaos. At the exit from chaos, it is possible to establish various synergistic regimes that stably retain their parameters even with a multiple decrease in the amplitude of the disturbance. A block diagram of the implementation of the evolutionary model is presented. As a result of the formation of equilibrium roughness, the motion of the system is a strange attractor. To substantiate the randomness of the strange attractor, an analysis of the amplitude-frequency characteristic of the ideal regenerative delay element with a gain factor less than unity, was carried out. The physical meaning of the strange attractor is that in a cyclic mode, a nonlinear dynamic system whose cycle time exceeds the period of natural oscillations by more than two orders of magnitude cannot come to the beginning of a new cycle with exactly the same parameters as to the beginning of the current cycle.
