Multiple-nodding oscillations of a driven inverted pendulum
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has long been known that a simple rigid pendulum can be stabilized against small disturbances in its upside-down state by rapid vertical oscillations of its pivot. Over part of the parameter range for which this happens we find that there is a second, quite different way in which the pendulum can avoid falling over, namely by getting trapped in a limit cycle oscillation about the upward vertical. Each upside-down oscillation of this kind has a distinctive 'multiplenodding' character.

Inverted spring pendulum driven by a periodic force: linear versus nonlinear analysis
We analyse the stability of the spring inverted pendulum with the vertical oscillations of the suspension point. An important factor in the stability analysis is the interaction between radial and oscillating modes. In addition to the small oscillations near the upper position, the nonlinearity of the problem leads to the appearance of limit-cycle oscillations of finite amplitudes.
متن کاملComplicated 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 کاملModeling Walking with an Inverted Pendulum Not Constrained to the Sagittal Plane. Numerical Simulations and Asymptotic Expansions
Inverted pendulum models are commonly used to study the bio-mechanics of biped walkers. In its simplest form, the inverted pendulum consists of a point mass attached to two straight mass-less legs. Most works constrain the motion of the mass to the sagittal plane, i.e. the plane perpendicular to the ground that contains the direction toward the biped is walking. In this article, we remove this ...
متن کاملMINIMUM TIME SWING UP AND STABILIZATION OF ROTARY INVERTED PENDULUM USING PULSE STEP CONTROL
This paper proposes an approach for the minimum time swing upof a rotary inverted pendulum. Our rotary inverted pendulum is supported bya pivot arm. The pivot arm rotates in a horizontal plane by means of a servomotor. The opposite end of the arm is instrumented with a joint whose axisis along the radial direction of the motor. A pendulum is suspended at thejoint. The task is to design a contro...
متن کاملDynamic Stabilization of the Inverted Pendulum
The inverted pendulum is a canonical problem in both Nonlinear Dynamics and Control Theory. In this article, the phenomenon of dynamic stabilization of the vertically driven inverted pendulum is investigated experimentally and numerically. We resolve the first stabilizing boundary in driving parameter space, as well as investigate the effects of frictional damping on the dynamics of the pendulu...
