Regular and Chaotic Motions of the Parametrically Forced Pendulum: Theory and Simulations
نویسنده
چکیده
New types of regular and chaotic behaviour of the parametrically driven pendulum are discovered with the help of computer simulations. A simple qualitative physical explanation is suggested to the phenomenon of subharmonic resonances. An approximate quantitative theory based on the suggested approach is developed. The spectral composition of the subharmonic resonances is investigated quantitatively, and their boundaries in the parameter space are determined. The conditions of the inverted pendulum stability are determined with a greater precision than they have been known earlier. A close relationship between the upper limit of stability of the dynamically stabilized inverted pendulum and parametric resonance of the hanging down pendulum is established. Most of the newly discovered modes are waiting a plausible physical

Complicated Regular and Chaotic Motions of the Parametrically Excited Pendulum
Several new types of regular and chaotic behavior of the parametrically driven pendulum are discovered with the help of computer simulations. A simple physical explanation is suggested to the phenomenon of subharmonic resonances. The boundaries of these resonances in the parameter space and the spectral composition of corresponding stationary oscillations are determined theoretically and verifi...

متن کاملSynchronization of chaos in non-identical parametrically excited systems
In this paper, we investigate the synchronization of chaotic systems consisting of non-identical parametrically excited oscillators. The active control technique is employed to design control functions based on Lyapunov stability theory and Routh–Hurwitz criteria so as to achieve global chaos synchronization between a parametrically excited gyroscope and each of the parametrically excited pendu...
متن کاملAutoparametric Vibrations of a Nonlinear System with Pendulum
Vibrations of a nonlinear oscillator with an attached pendulum, excited by movement of its point of suspension, have been analysed in the paper. The derived differential equations of motion show that the system is strongly nonlinear and the motions of both subsystems, the pendulum and the oscillator, are strongly coupled by inertial terms, leading to the so-called autoparametric vibrations. It ...
متن کاملTowards a computer-assisted proof for chaos in a forced damped pendulum equation ⋆
We report on the first steps made towards the computational proof of the chaotic behavior of the forced damped pendulum. Although, chaos for this pendulum was being conjectured for long, and it has been plausible on the basis of numerical simulations, there is no rigorous proof for it. In the present paper we provide computational details on a fitting model and on a verified method of solution....
