Purpose: Positioned in the e-retailing field, this study aims to investigate the effect of the retail store’s atmosphere on consumer behavior in 3D online shopping environments, focusing on store layout as a critical influential factor. Design/methodology/approach: The research uses a mixed...

We investigate the dynamics of a plastic ball on a vibrated platform in air by introducing air damping effect into the completely inelastic bouncing ball model. The air damping gives rise to larger saddle-node bifurcation points and a chaos confirmed by the largest Lyapunov exponent of a...

We investigated the effects of interstitial air on the impact bifurcations of period doubling motion in vertically vibrated grains beds. The impact of grains on the container bottom undergoes a series of subharmonic bifurcations as the vibration intensity increases. With the presence of air, the...
