Abstract

The dynamics of a nonlinear electro-magneto-mechanical coupled system is addressed. The nonlinear behavior arises from the involved coupling quadratic nonlinearities and it is explored by relying on both analytical and numerical tools. When the linear frequency of the circuit is larger than that of the mechanical oscillator, the dynamics exhibits slow and fast time scales. Therefore the mechanical oscillator forced (actuated) via harmonic voltage excitation of the electric circuit is analyzed; when the forcing frequency is close to that of the mechanical oscillator, the long term damped dynamics evolves in a purely slow timescale with no interaction with the fast time scale. We show this by assuming the existence of a slow invariant manifold (SIM), computing it analytically, and verifying its existence via numerical experiments on both full- and reduced-order systems. In specific regions of the space of forcing parameters, the SIM is a complicated geometric object as it undergoes folding giving rise to hysteresis mechanisms which create a pronounced nonlinear resonance phenomenon. Eventually, the roles played by the electro-magnetic and mechanical components in the resulting complex response, encompassing bifurcations as well as possible transitions from regular to chaotic motion, are highlighted by means of Poincare' sections.
