In this paper we present an experimental setup and an associated mathematical model to study the synchronization of two self sustained strongly coupled mechanical oscillators (metronomes). The effects of a small detuning in the internal parameters, namely damping and frequency, have been studied. Our experimental system is a pair of spring wound mechanical metronomes, coupled by placing them on a common base, free to move along a horizontal direction. In our system the mass of the oscillating pendula form a significant fraction of the total mass of the system, leading to strong coupling of the oscillators. We modified the internal mechanism of the spring-wound clockwork slightly, such that the natural frequency and the internal damping could be independently tuned. Stable synchronized and anti-synchronized states were observed as the difference in the parameters was varied. We designed a photodiode array based non-contact, non-magnetic position detection system driven by a microcontroller to record the instantaneous angular displacement of each oscillator and the small linear displacement of the base coupling the two. Our results indicate that such a system can be made to stabilize in both in-phase anti-phase synchronized state by tuning the parameter mismatch. Results from both numerical simulations and experimental observations are in qualitative agreement and are both reported in the present work.
We propose a method for detecting the presence of synchronization of self-sustained oscillator by external driving with linearly varying frequency. The method is based on a continuous wavelet transform of the signals of self-sustained oscillator and
A feasible model is introduced that manifests phenomena intrinsic to iterative complex analytic maps (such as the Mandelbrot set and Julia sets). The system is composed of two coupled alternately excited oscillators (or self-sustained oscillators). T
We present a method to determine the relative parameter mismatch in a collection of nearly identical chaotic oscillators by measuring large deviations from the synchronized state. We demonstrate our method with an ensemble of slightly different circl
Recently, a novel mixed-synchronization phenomenon is observed in counter-rotating nonlinear coupled oscillators. In mixed-synchronization state: some variables are synchronized in-phase, while others are out-of-phase. We have experimentally verified
The amplitude-dependent frequency of the oscillations, termed emph{nonisochronicity}, is one of the essential characteristics of nonlinear oscillators. In this paper, the dynamics of the Rossler oscillator in the presence of nonisochronicity is exami
