Huygens (and others) revisited.

چکیده
We develop a generic iterative map model of coupled oscillators based on simple physical processes common to many such systems. The model allows us to understand, from a unified perspective, the range of different outcomes reported for experiments by Huygens and modern realizations of his two coupled clocks.

Huygens ’ clocks revisited Allan
In 1665, Huygens observed that two identical pendulum clocks, weakly coupled through a heavy beam, soon synchronized with the same period and amplitude but with the two pendula swinging in opposite directions. This behaviour is now called anti-phase synchronization. This paper presents an analysis of the behaviour of a large class of coupled identical oscillators, including Huygens’ clocks, usi...

متن کاملHuygens' odd Sympathy Experiment Revisited
We repeat Huygens’ experiment using real pendulum clocks in the same way as it was done originally, i.e., we hang two clocks on the same beam and observe the behavior of the pendulums. The clocks in the experiment have been selected in such a way to be as identical as possible. It has been observed that when the beam is allowed to move horizontally, the clocks can synchronize both in-phase and ...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Absorber Realization Using Huygens Metasurfaces
In this paper, the possible realization of the electromagnetic (EM) absorber as a thin metasurface is considered. The metasurface is based on establishing a passive surface of electric and magnetic currents using the Huygen’s principle. So, the absorber is named Huygens Absorber (HA). The metasurface can be designed using split meander lines with spiral rings. In this way, both sides of the sub...
متن کاملOn Some Inequalities Involving Trigonometric and Hyperbolic Functions with Emphasis on the Cusa–huygens, Wilker, and Huygens Inequalities
Recently trigonometric inequalities of N. Cusa and C. Huygens (see, e.g., [9]), J. Wilker [11], and C. Huygens [4] have been discussed extensively in mathematical literature. We shall demonstrate that Wilker’s inequality, Huygens’ inequality, and some other related inequalities all follow from the Cusa-Huygens inequality. A generalization of the latter result is also obtained. The hyperbolic co...
