Abstract
We study the effect of linear dissipative forces on the chaotic behavior of coupled quartic oscillators with two degrees of freedom. The effect of quadratic Rayleigh dissipation functions, one with diagonal coefficients only and the other with nondiagonal coefficients as well are studied. It is found that the effect of Rayleigh Dissipation function with diagonal coefficients is to suppress chaos in the system and to lead the system to its equilibrium state. However, with a dissipation function with nondiagonal elements, other types of behaviors — including fixed point attractor, periodic attractors and even chaotic attractors — are possible even when there is no external driving. In such a system the route to chaos is through period-doubling bifurcations. This result contradicts the view that linear dissipation always causes decay of oscillations in oscillator models.
