Intrinsically nonlinear coupled systems present different oscillating components that exchange energy among themselves. We present a new approach to deal with such energy exchanges and to investigate how it depends on the system control parameters. The method consists in writing the total energy of the system, and properly identifying the energy terms for each component and, especially, their coupling. To illustrate the proposed approach, we work with the bi-dimensional spring pendulum, which is a paradigm to study nonlinear coupled systems, and is used as a model for several systems. For the spring pendulum, we identify three energy components, resembling the spring and pendulum like motions, and the coupling between them. With these analytical expressions, we analyze the energy exchange for individual trajectories, and we also obtain global characteristics of the spring pendulum energy distribution by calculating spatial and time average energy components for a great number of trajectories (periodic, quasi-periodic and chaotic) throughout the phase space. Considering an energy term due to the nonlinear coupling, we identify regions in the parameter space that correspond to strong and weak coupling. The presented procedure can be applied to nonlinear coupled systems to reveal how the coupling mediates internal energy exchanges, and how the energy distribution varies according to the system parameters.

We investigate the nonlinear effect of a pendulum with the upper end fixed to an elastic rod which is only allowed to vibrate horizontally. The pendulum will start rotating and trace a delicate stationary pattern when released without initial angular momentum. We explain it as amplitude modulation due to nonlinear coupling between the two degrees of freedom. Though the phenomenon of conversion between radial and azimuthal oscillations is common for asymmetric pendulums, nonlinear coupling between the two oscillations is usually overlooked. In this paper, we build a theoretical model and obtain the pendulums equations of motion. The pendulums motion patterns are solved numerically and analytically using the method of multiple scales. In the analytical solution, the modulation period not only depends on the dynamical parameters, but also on the pendulums initial releasing positions, which is a typical nonlinear behavior. The analytical approximate solutions are supported by numerical results. This work provides a good demonstration as well as a research project of nonlinear dynamics on different levels from high school to undergraduate students.
This paper used multi-scale method and KBM method to get approximate solution of coupled Van der Pol oscillators, based on which, researchers investigated the impact several parameters have on the prerequisite of synchronization and the time it takes to synchronize quantitatively. In addition, this paper has a brief introduction of the usage of Kuramoto Model in plural metronomes synchronization and the derivation of Van der Pol oscillator from the discrete model.
We study the classical dynamics of an axion field (the signal) that is coupling into a Josephson junction (the detector) by means of a capacitive coupling of arbitrary size. Depending on the size of the coupling constant and the initial conditions, we find a rich phase space structure of this nonlinear problem. We present general analytic solutions of the equations of motion in the limit of small amplitudes of the angle variables, and discuss both the case of no dissipation and the case of dissipation in the system. The effect of a magnetic field is investigated as well, leading to topological phase transitions in the phase space structure.
The 1:1:2 resonant elastic pendulum is a simple classical system that displays the phenomenon known as Hamiltonian monodromy. With suitable initial conditions, the system oscillates between nearly pure springing and nearly pure elliptical-swinging motions, with sequential major axes displaying a stepwise precession. The physical consequence of monodromy is that this stepwise precession is given by a smooth but multivalued function of the constants of motion. We experimentally explore this multivalued behavior. To our knowledge, this is the first experimental demonstration of classical monodromy.
According to the method, suggested in our previous work (nlin/0509012) and based on the consideration of the specially coupled systems, the possibility of physical realization of the phenomena of complex analytic dynamics (such as Mandelbrot and Julia sets) is discussed. It is shown, that unlike the case of discrete maps or differential systems with periodic driving, investigated in mentioned work, there are some difficulties in attempts to obtain the Mandelbrot set for the coupled autonomous continuous systems. A system of coupled autonomous R{o}ssler oscillators is considered as an example.
