Experimental observation of crisis-induced intermittency and its critical exponent

Critical behavior associated with intermittent temporal bursting accompanying the sudden widening of a chaotic attractor was observed and investigated experimentally in a gravitationally buckled, parametrically driven, magnetoelastic ribbon. As the driving frequency, f, was decreased through the critical value, $f_c$, we observed that the mean time between bursts scaled as ‖$f_c$-f${\Vert }^{\mathrm{-}\gamma }$. .AE
