Oscillators and rotators are among the most important physical systems. For centuries the only known rotating systems that actually reached the limits of the ideal situation of undamped periodical motion were the planets in their orbits.…
Consider a periodically forced nonlinear system which can be presented as a collection of smaller subsystems with pairwise interactions between them. Each subsystem is assumed to be a massive point moving with friction on a compact surface,…
The inversion of cause and effect in the classic description of electromagnetism, gives rise to a conceptual error which is at the bottom of many paradoxes and exceptions. At present, the curious fact that unipolar induction or the Faraday…
A 3D pendulum consists of a rigid body, supported at a fixed pivot, with three rotational degrees of freedom. The pendulum is acted on by a gravitational force. Symmetry assumptions are shown to lead to the planar 1D pendulum and to the…
This survey article is concerned with the study of bifurcations of piecewise-smooth maps. We review the literature in circle maps and quasi-contractions and provide paths through this literature to prove sufficient conditions for the…
We study the rising dynamics of a bubble driven into periodic volumetric oscillations by an external pressure driving within a highly viscous shear-thinning fluid. We perform axisymmetric direct numerical simulations employing the…
We first demonstrate how our general intuition of pseudoforces has to navigate around several pitfalls in rotating frames. And then, we proceed to develop an intuitive understanding of the different components of the pseudoforces in most…
This paper considers a sandpile model subjected to a sinusoidal external drive with the time period $T$. We develop a theoretical model for the Green function in a large $T$ limit, which predicts that the avalanches are anisotropic and…
We study in this paper the behavior of a periodically driven nonlinear mechanical system. Bifurcation diagrams are found which locate regions of quasiperiodic, periodic and chaotic behavior within the parameter space of the system. We also…
The canonical partition function approach was designed to avoid the overlap problem that affects the lattice simulations of nuclear matter at high density. The method employs the projections of the quark determinant on a fix quark number…
An elastic rod, straight in its undeformed state, has a mass attached at one end and a variable length, due to a constraint at the other end by a frictionless sliding sleeve. The constraint is arranged with the sliding direction parallel to…
When the frequencies of the elastic and pendular oscillations of an elastic pendulum or swinging spring are in the ratio two-to-one, there is a regular exchange of energy between the two modes of oscillation. We refer to this phenomenon as…
The metriplectic formalism couples Poisson brackets of the Hamiltonian description with metric brackets for describing systems with both Hamiltonian and dissipative components. The construction builds in asymptotic convergence to a…
The effect of noise on a rotational mode of a pendulum excited kinematically in vertical direction has been analyzed. We have shown that for a weak noise transitions from oscillations to rotations and vice versa are possible. For a moderate…
A Brownian particle moving in a staircase-like potential with feedback control offers a way to implement Maxwell's demon. An experimental demonstration of such a system using sinusoidal periodic potential carried out by Toyabe et al. has…
The ponderomotive force is derived for a relativistic charged particle entering an electromagnetic standing wave with a general three-dimensional field distribution and a nonrelativistic intensity, using a perturbation expansion method. It…
In the paper we consider systems in oscillating force fields such that the classical method of averaging can be applied. We present sufficient conditions for the existence of forced oscillations in such systems and study the asymptotic…
The Foucault Pendulum is a Spherical Pendulum of fixed length with two angular degrees of freedom, attached to a suspension which rotates once a day around the Earth axis at a distance essentially set by Earth radius and the geodetic…
The stationary and highly non-stationary resonant dynamics of the harmonically forced pendulum are described in the framework of a semi-inverse procedure combined with the Limiting Phase Trajectory concept. This procedure, implying only…
This study investigates the time evolution of vortex rings generated by the normal translation of a disk either toward or away from a wall. We systematically vary the control parameters, including the disk size, stroke length, travel time,…
