On the extreme stiffness of degenerate Duffing oscillator: A feature overlooked by Ueda
Ueda’s discovery of a strange attractor, which appears in the Poincaré section and is associated with deterministic chaos, corresponds to a degenerate Duffing forced harmonic oscillator with vanishing linear stiffness. By reducing the equation of motion to an autonomous system, constructing the corresponding Jacobian matrix, and analysing its eigenvalues, it was found that the system is extremely stiff: its stiffness ratio tends to infinity as the displacement approaches zero. This extremely high stiffness ratio renders explicit numerical methods unsuitable for integrating the equation of motion due to their instability under such conditions. Consequently, Ueda’s original analysis (1985)—based on the use of an explicit single step Runge–Kutta–Gill 4th-order solver (RK4) combined with a Hamming window—may be considered unreliable for capturing the true dynamics of the system.
期刊介绍:
Mechanics Research Communications publishes, as rapidly as possible, peer-reviewed manuscripts of high standards but restricted length. It aims to provide:
• a fast means of communication
• an exchange of ideas among workers in mechanics
• an effective method of bringing new results quickly to the public
• an informal vehicle for the discussion
• of ideas that may still be in the formative stages
The field of Mechanics will be understood to encompass the behavior of continua, fluids, solids, particles and their mixtures. Submissions must contain a strong, novel contribution to the field of mechanics, and ideally should be focused on current issues in the field involving theoretical, experimental and/or applied research, preferably within the broad expertise encompassed by the Board of Associate Editors. Deviations from these areas should be discussed in advance with the Editor-in-Chief.
