| Summary: | This research aims to characterize the nonlinear
responses of a 3-layer laminated composite cantilever
beam systemsubjected to evenly distributed dynamic excitations,
with the employment of the Periodicity Ratio (PR)
method. Periodic, quasiperiodic, chaotic behaviors especially
the behaviors in between period and quasiperiod of
the cantilever beam system are quantitatively described.
A periodic-quasiperiodic-chaotic region diagram is developed
to be used for identifying the global behaviors of the
cantilever beam system with a large range of parameters.
The research approach demonstrates that the PR method
is effective and powerful in analyzing the complex dynamical
characteristics of nonlinear cantilever beam systems,
and the approach shows significances for industrial application
and further nonlinear research in this area.
