Simulation of bifurcation and escape—time diagrams of cascade—connected nonlinear systems for rubber strip transportation

Abstract

Systems consisting of several cascade-connected transporters for rubber strip transportation are presented in this paper. In consideration of the systems structure and the fact that the technological parameters of rubber materials are time variant, one of the characteristics of these systems is the possibility of oscillations and chaos appearance. In this paper the conditions for appearance of oscillations and chaos in mentioned systems are analysed. The results are confirmed by simulation of bifurcation and escape-time diagrams.
