Specifically, the existence of nonlinear phenomena such as cascade of bifurcations and chaotic solutions are examined. The illustration presented here, namely a vibratory transporter has, besides its own engineering interest, the merit to exhibit a dynamics described by a well known 2-dimensional, dissipative mappingchaosvibrationschaosvibroimpact devicenonlinear dynamicsvibrotransportationautomated assembly linesbifurcationschaotic solutionsvibratory transporterdissipative mappingtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
