Summary
The chaotic oscillation of a buckled beam under sinusoidally varying and static constant transverse external forces is investigated. A harmonic balance method and a direct numerical integration are applied to a Duffings equation model of the buckled beam. For a small transverse constant force, there exist three static equilibrium points, and the near contact between the two orbits of a stable and an unstable limit cycle in the phase plane can predict the onset of chaos. For a large transverse constant force, there exists only one static equilibrium point, but there may exist three different dynamic response amplitudes due to nonlinear resonance phenomena. The near contact between two vibration regions of a stable and an unstable limit cycle can predict the onset of chaos.
