Completely Inelastic Bouncing Ball on a Forced Plate

چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of a completely inelastic ball on a vertically vibrated plate. We construct a computational model using various forcing waveforms for the plate and generate associated bifurcation diagrams. The forcing functions used are a superposition of two sine waves with an integer ratio of frequencies. We then observe experimentally some of the predictions made by the model for the case of a single sine wave forcing function.

This Rapid Communication presents an analytical study of the bouncing of a completely inelastic ball on a vertically vibrated plate. The interplay of saddle-node and period-doubling bifurcations leads to an intricate structure of the bifurcation diagram with uncommon properties, such as an infinity of bifurcation cascades in a finite range of the control parameter Gamma. A pseudochaotic behavio...
متن کاملThe Completely Inelastic Ball: Analysis and Experiment
We consider the problem of a perfectly inelastic bouncing ball on a vibrating plate subjected to a superposition based input forcing function. Both, analytical and experimental studies are performed and the results from each are compared. The developed theoretical models also incorporate friction and provide a fair agreement with the actual experimental data. Interesting regions on bifurcations...
متن کاملLaboratory Investigation of the Dynamics of the Inelastic Bouncing Ball
An inelastic bouncing ball driven by an oscillating plate is modelled in MatLab and then experimentally investigated in the laboratory. Experimental results qualitatively match the computational model, demonstrating bifurcation and chaos. Discrepancies of the physical system are clearly traced, including friction, elasticity, and feedback, but only friction is accounted for in the model. Furthe...
متن کاملThe Completely Inelastic Bouncing Ball
The motion of the inelastic bouncing ball is examined. The time of flight is modelled through numerical simulation using MATLAB. Then the time of flight is experimentally verified using a metal block constrained to move in one direction mounted to a vibration table. Time of flight is measured using a continuity sensor. Bifurcation diagrams are created for a range of accelerations and compared t...
متن کاملInelastic collapse of a ball bouncing on a randomly vibrating platform.
A theoretical study is undertaken of the dynamics of a ball which is bouncing inelastically on a randomly vibrating platform. Of interest are the distributions of the number of flights nf and the total time tauc until the ball has effectively "collapsed," i.e., coalesced with the platform. In the strictly elastic case both distributions have power law tails characterized by exponents that are u...
