Abstract
The multipulse global bifurcations and chaotic dynamics of a simply supported Functionally Graded Piezoelectric (FGP) rectangular plate with bonded piezoelectric layer are investigated with the case of 1:2 internal resonance and primary parametric resonance. Based on the averaged equations obtained, the theory of normal form is utilized to obtain the explicit expressions of normal form with a double zero and a pair of pure imaginary eigenvalues. According to the explicit expressions of normal form, the extended Melnikov method developed by Camassa et al. is employed to study the Shilnikov-type multipulse homoclinic bifurcations and chaotic dynamics of the aero-elastic FGP plate. The analytical results indicate that there exists the Shilnikov-type multipulse chaotic dynamics for the FGP plate. Numerical simulations are presented to show that for the FGP plate, the Shilnikov-type multipulse chaotic motions can occur. The influence of the in-plane excitation and the piezoelectric voltage excitation to the system dynamic behaviors is also discussed by numerical simulations. The results obtained here imply the existence of chaos in the sense of the Smale horseshoes for the FGP plate.
