:Cu/Cu is built, whose faithful mathematical model is established based on the memristive behaviors and its switching mechanism. Using this model, a chaotic system is constructed and its complex dynamics are investigated by numerical simulations. Furthermore, hardware experiments are also designed to verify the model in a chaotic circuit. The chaotic attractors obtained by simulations and hardware experiments are consistent, demonstrating the reliable performance of the Ti/TiO
