Abstract
The multi-pulse homoclinic orbits and chaotic dynamics of an equivalent circular cylindrical shell for the circular mesh antenna are investigated in the case of 1:2 internal resonance in this paper for the first time. Applying the method of averaging, the four-dimensional averaged equation in the Cartesian form is obtained. The theory of normal form is used to reduce the averaged equation to a simpler form. Based on the simplified system, the energy phase method is employed to investigate the homoclinic bifurcations and the Shilnikov type multi-pulse chaotic dynamics. First, the energy difference function and the zeroes of the energy difference function are obtained. Then, the existence of the Shilnikov type multi-pulse orbits is determined. The homoclinic trees are depicted to describe the relationship among the layers diameter, the pulse numbers and the phase shift. Finally, we need to verify the condition which makes sure that any multi-pulse orbit departing from a slow sink comes back to the domain of attraction of one of the sinks. The results obtained here show the existence of the Shilnikov type multi-pulse chaotic motions of the circular mesh antenna. Numerical simulations are used to find multi-pulse chaotic motions. The results of the theoretical analysis are in qualitative agreement with the results obtained using numerical simulation.
