TLDR
In this paper, the existence and stability of solutions of Dufng's equation are investigated and their characteristic bifurcations are studied, and it is shown how catastrophe theory provides a natural synthesis between the practical and theoretical aspects of the problem.

A nonlinear oscillator with a strange attractor

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the bifurcational behavior of a nonlinear oscillator with a qualitative viewpoint and showed that for a wide range of moderate f extremely complicated nonperiodic motions arise.

Vortex-induced vibrations of a long flexible circular cylinder

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study of the vortex-induced oscillations of a long flexible circular cylinder was performed and the observed stationary amplitudes describe an hysteresis loop partially different from earlier studies.

Chaotic Phenomena Triggering the Escape from a Potential Well

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the manner in which a driven mechanical oscillator escapes from the cubic potential well typical of a metastable system close to a fold, and show how the well-known atoms of dissipative dynamics (saddle-node folds, period-doubling flips, cascades to chaos, boundary crises, etc.) assemble to form molecules of overall response.

Data based identification and prediction of nonlinear and complex dynamical systems

TL;DR: The recent advances in this forefront and rapidly evolving field of reconstructing nonlinear and complex dynamical systems from measured data or time series are reviewed, aiming to cover topics such as compressive sensing, noised-induced dynamical mapping, perturbations, reverse engineering, synchronization, inner composition alignment, global silencing and Granger Causality.

Superstructure in the bifurcation set of the Duffing equation ẍ + dẋ + x + x3 = f cos(ωt)

TL;DR: In this article, a periodic recurrence of a specific fine structure in the bifurcation set, which is closely connected with the nonlinear resonances of the system, is investigated.
