Lyapunov Exponent‐Based Study of Chaotic Mechanical Behavior of Concrete under Compression

Abstract

Chaos theory is advantageous in achieving a deeper understanding of the nonlinearity and randomness of concrete behavior. In this study, the experimental data of concrete under compression were examined and discussed using Lyapunov exponent. According to the value of the Lyapunov exponent, which was larger than 0, it could be quantitatively demonstrated that measured and fitted data exhibited chaotic features. Besides, the mechanical behavior of concrete could be predicted by deducing its evolution equation. Furthermore, the evolution and trends of the Lyapunov exponent indicated that the series with human intervention showed a stronger chaotic property, which led to the result that this kind of series might be more difficult to predict.

“…The behavior is chaotic and cannot be determined quantitatively. That is, chaos would occur when λ >0 , jth LE is equal [24][25]: 1), (b = 8/3 and σ = 10 for all subfigures,) , First 6-D keys from [19] is illustrated in equations (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). :…”

Period-doubling bifurcation analysis and chaos control for load torque using FLC

“…The research field of chaotic system analysis and control has seen rapid development in recent years. The chaos appears in many mechanical and electrical systems such as lasers, nonlinear optical systems, optimization techniques, biological systems, chemical reactions, cancer treatments, fluids flow, moreover, many other applications [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Practically, the chaos and bifurcation are harmful to these systems as they can lead them to be unstable or make undesirable behavior, so control techniques and methodologies are required to reduce or eliminate the harmful chaotic effect.…”
