We develop here the method for obtaining approximate stability boundaries in the space of parameters for systems with parametric excitation. The monodromy (Floquet) matrix of linearized system is found by averaging method. For system with 2…
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of stability and long-time behaviour of a coupled system constituted by two rigid bodies separated by a thin layer of lubricant. We show that permanent rotations of the whole system, with the…
It is possible to condense a macroscopic number of bosons into a single mode. Adding interactions the question arises whether the condensate is stable. For repulsive interaction the answer is positive with regard to the ground-state, but…

One of the many surprising results found in the mechanics of rotating systems is the stabilization of a particle in a rapidly rotating planar saddle potential. Besides the counterintuitive stabilization, an unexpected precessional motion is…
Recent experiments have probed the stability of ring superfluids in the presence of Josephson barriers or Gaussian impurities. Here we present a theoretical analysis that extends beyond the regimes explored so far. We study the onset of…
We analyse the classical problem of the stability of bicycles when moving quickly and upright. Developing a lean causes the front wheel to turn thereby setting the bicycle instantaneously into circular motion. The centripetal force…
In this paper, we study the dynamics of a system of $n$ coupled, self-propelled particles: $\ddot r_k = (\alpha-\beta |\dot r_k|^2)\dot r_k - \frac{\gamma}{n}\sum_{m=1}^n(r_k-r_m)$, $r_k\in \mathbb R^2.$ Numerical experiments indicate that,…

The rotating saddle not only is an interesting system that is able to trap a ball near its saddle point, but can also intuitively illustrate the operating principles of quadrupole ion traps in modern physics. Unlike the conventional models…
