Synchronous motion of two vertically excited planar elastic pendula

Abstract

The dynamics of two planar elastic pendula mounted on the horizontally excited platform have been studied. We give evidence that the pendula can exhibit synchronous oscillatory and rotation motion and show that stable in-phase and anti-phase synchronous states always co-exist. The complete bifurcational scenario leading from synchronous to asynchronous motion is shown. We argue that our results are robust as they exist in the wide range of the system parameters.Comment: Submitte

Bifurcations of Oscillatory and Rotational Solutions of Double Pendulum with Parametric Vertical Excitation

“…The next curve (blue) represents the symmetry breaking bifurcations; hence the motion of pendula becomes asymmetrical with respect to the equilibrium position. As it is well known[19][20][21], two mirror states are observed…”

Vibration, synchronization and localization of three-bladed rotor: theoretical and experimental studies

“…Because of the way how phenomenon was discovered, synchronization is closely connected with pendulums. In the papers [1,10,16] results for synchronization phenomenon in case of rotating parametric pendulums are presented, whereas, the problem of rotational motion in different and the same direction of the pendulums is described in [5]. Furthermore, co-and counter-rotating coupled spherical pendulums is studied in [28].…”

Parametric Analysis of Magnetorheologically Damped Pendulum Vibration Absorber

“…[4][5][6]23,24 The main idea lies in attaching the absorber (usually a pendulum) to the primary system in such a manner, that it experiences a parametric base excitation. Therefore, the absorber frequency is tuned around onehalf of the frequency value.…”
