DC drive

It is well known that electric drives demonstrate various nonlinear phenomena.  In particular, a chopper-fed analog DC drive system is characterized by the route to chaotic behavior though period-doubling cascade.  Besides, the considered system demonstrates coexistence of several stable periodic modes within the stability boundaries of the main period-1 orbit.  We discover the evolution of several periodic orbits utilizing the semi-analytical method based on the Filippov theory for the stability analysis of periodic orbits.  We analyze, in particular, stable and unstable period-1, 2, 3 and
