This article studies the rotational dynamics of three identical coupled pendulums. There exist two parameter areas where the in-phase rotational motion is unstable and out-of-phase rotations are realized. Asymptotic theory is developed that…
The author considers the planar rotational motion of the mathematical pendulum with its pivot oscillating both vertically and horizontally, so the trajectory of the pivot is an ellipse close to a circle. The analysis is based on the exact…
Dynamical stabilization processes (homeostasis) are ubiquitous in nature, but energetic resources needed for their existence were not studied systematically. Here we undertake such a study using the famous model of Kapitza's pendulum, which…
Using the damped pendulum system we introduce the averaging method to study the periodic solutions of a dynamical system with small perturbation. We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions with small amplitude…
The stability of a flexible fluid membrane containing a distribution of mobile, active proteins (e.g. proton pumps) is shown to depend on the structure and functional asymmetry of the proteins. A stable active membrane is in a…
Many damped mechanical systems oscillate with increasing frequency as the amplitude decreases. One popular example is Euler's Disk, where the point of contact rotates with increasing rapidity as the energy is dissipated. We study a simple…
The planar inverted pendulum with a vibrating pivot point in the presence of an additional horizontal force field is studied. The horizontal force is not assumed to be small or rapidly oscillating. We assume that the pivot point of the…
Parametric oscillators are examples of externally driven systems that can exhibit two stable states with opposite phase depending on the initial conditions. In this work, we propose to study what happens when the external forcing is…
