contents This paper presents mathematical modeling and numerical analysis of bifurcation and synchronization phenomena in a system of coupled oscillators driven by a finite-power energy source and generating two-dimensional stick-slip translational-rotational vibrations. The mechanical system consists of rigid disks placed on moving belts and asymmetrically connected to a support via springs, with each disk simultaneously performing translational and rotational motion. The belts are driven by a common DC motor. The disk contacts the belt over a finite contact area, resulting in mutually coupled frictional force and torque through their dependence on the linear and angular slip velocity. The paper utilizes special approximations of the resultant frictional forces and torques based on generalizations of Padé's developements, in which special smoothing elements are introduced to avoid singularities when the relative motion between the disk and belt disappears. Furthermore, the model also provides a smooth approximation of the friction model, in which static friction is greater than kinetic friction. Numerical analysis was conducted based on direct numerical simulations, Poincare maps, and bifurcation diagrams. It was shown that the system can exhibit a two-dimensional stick-slip phenomenon, and the system exhibits predominantly periodic dynamics, sometimes with a very long period. In this work, a system of two oscillators driven by a common, limited-power motor was studied, which can synchronize and oscillate in phase or in counterphase.
