Abstract
Longitudinal vibration of a nonlinear viscoelastic rod system with one end fixed and another end subjected to an axial periodical excitation was studied under the consideration of transverse inertia. By using Galerkin method and for hard stiffness nonlinear material, a combined Parametric and Forcing Excited cubic nonlinear dynamic system is derived. Here, arc-length method is used for an accurate integral procedure, and numeric results are given detailedly. The process of the system evolved from stable periodic motion to chaos is illustrated in the period-doubling bifurcation graph of the parameter space, and the Lyapunov exponent spectrum is also given that is perfectly consistent with bifurcation process. The strange attractor obtained from Poincare Map is present, which has different fractal dimension from Duffing's one, so it may be a new chaotic attractor.
