5.6 PERIOD-4 MOTIONS
Period-4 motions also can be non-travelable and travelable, which are independent. Such
period-4 motions are not from period-2 motion through the period-doubling bifurcation. e
bifurcation treed for non-travelable period-4 motions to chaos are presented first through the
displacement, and the travelable period-4 motions to chaos are presented through the velocity.
In Fig. 5.6, the bifurcation trees of harmonic amplitudes are presented from non-travelable
period-3 motions to chaos through the displacement. e constant term a
