Figure 5.56 (a) The sequence of states associated with Hopf-pitchfork heteroclinic cycles in 3-D motions of the pipe-spring system [from Steindl
& Troger (1996)l. (b) Map of stable Hopf-Hopf heteroclinic cycles (+) of the same system; ---, marks the boundary for the onset of the secondary
bifurcation. (c) Qualitative bifurcation diagram, showing the two principal limit-cycle branches for oscillations in one plane (SWl) or the other
perpendicular to it (SW2): -, stable solutions; ---, unstable solutions; HC marks the range of existence of heteroclinic cycles (Steindl 1996).
