Abstract：In this paper, the nonlinear vibration and chaotic motion of the axially moving current-conducting strip thin plate with an external harmonic force in magnetic field is studied. Improved multiple-scale method is employed to derive the strongly nonlinear superharmonic resonance bifurcation-response equation of the strip thin plate in transverse magnetic field. By using the singularity theory, the corresponding transition variety and bifurcation which contain two parameters of the universal unfolding for this nonlinear system are obtained. Numerical simulations are carried out to plot the bifurcation diagrams, corresponding maximum Lyapunov exponent diagrams and dynamical response diagrams with respect to the bifurcation parameters such as magnetic induction intensity, axial tension, external force amplitude and external excited frequency. The influences of different bifurcation parameters on period doubling motion and chaotic motion behaviors of superharmonic resonance system are analyzed. The results show that the complex dynamic behaviors of resonance system can be controlled by changing the corresponding parameters.
