Abstract

The effect of rectified and modulated sine forces on the onset of horseshoe chaos is studied both analytically and numerically in the Duffing oscillator. With single force analytical threshold condition for the onset of horseshoe chaos is obtained using the Melnikov method. The Melnikov threshold curve is drawn in a parameter space. For the rectified sine wave, onset of cross-well asymptotic chaos is observed just above the Melnikov threshold curve. For the modulus of sine wave long time transient motion followed by a periodic attractor is realized. The possibility of controlling of chaos by the addition of second modulated force is then analyzed. Parametric regimes where suppression of horseshoe chaos occurs are predicted analytically and verified numerically. Interestingly, suppression of chaos is found in the parametric regimes where the Melnikov function does not change sign.
