Dissipation-Induced Heteroclinic Orbits in Tippe Tops
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper demontrates that the conditions for the existence of a dissipation-induced heteroclinic orbit between the inverted and noninverted states of a tippe top are determined by a complex version of the equations for a simple harmonic oscillator: the modified Maxwell– Bloch equations. A standard linear analysis reveals that the modified Maxwell–Bloch equations describe the spectral instability of the noninverted state and Liapunov stability of the inverted state. Standard nonlinear analysis based on the energy-momentum method gives necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a dissipation-induced connecting orbit between these relative equilibria.

Tippe Top Inversion as a Dissipation-Induced Instability
By treating tippe top inversion as a dissipation-induced instability, we explain tippe top inversion through a system we call the modified Maxwell–Bloch equations. We revisit previous work done on this problem and follow Or’s mathematical model [SIAM J. Appl. Math., 54 (1994), pp. 597–609]. A linear analysis of the equations of motion reveals that only the equilibrium points correspond to the i...
متن کاملMotion of the Tippe Top: Gyroscopic Balance Condition and Stability
We reexamine a very classical problem, the spinning behavior of the tippe top on a horizontal table. The analysis is made for an eccentric sphere version of the tippe top, assuming a modified Coulomb law for the sliding friction, which is a continuous function of the slip velocity vP at the point of contact and vanishes at vP =0. We study the relevance of the gyroscopic balance condition (GBC),...
متن کاملDynamics of the Tippe Top via Routhian Reduction
We consider a tippe top modeled as an eccentric sphere, spinning on a horizontal table and subject to a sliding friction. Ignoring translational effects, we show that the system is reducible using a Routhian reduction technique. The reduced system is a two dimensional system of second order differential equations, that allows an elegant and compact way to retrieve the classification of tippe to...
متن کاملHeteroclinic Orbits for a Class of Hamiltonian Systems on Riemannian Manifolds
LetM be a smooth Riemannian manifold with the metric (gij) of dimension n, and let H = 1 2 g(q)pipj + V (t, q) be a smooth Hamiltonian on M, where gij is the inverse matrix of (gij). Under suitable assumptions we prove the existence of heteroclinic orbits of the induced Hamiltonian systems.
متن کاملBifurcations of Orbit and Inclination Flips Heteroclinic Loop with Nonhyperbolic Equilibria
The bifurcations of heteroclinic loop with one nonhyperbolic equilibrium and one hyperbolic saddle are considered, where the nonhyperbolic equilibrium is supposed to undergo a transcritical bifurcation; moreover, the heteroclinic loop has an orbit flip and an inclination flip. When the nonhyperbolic equilibrium does not undergo a transcritical bifurcation, we establish the coexistence and nonco...
