Bursting Phenomenon and Chaos Phase Control in Plant Dynamics by Makenne Yemeli Lola, Kengne Romanic, Pelap Francois Beceau

“…For the periodic bursting oscillations, we observe that after each peak of excitation due to the wind load, the plant returns directly to its state of rest, whereas the chaotic bursting oscillations break the energy of the wind into decreasing value packets and its occurrence has the merit of reducing the effects of wind energy on the plant; this action ensures the stability of the plant even in chaotic cases. …”
