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.
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. T
In this paper we show how Feynman diagrams, which are used as a tool to implement perturbation theory in quantum field theory, can be very useful also in classical mechanics, provided we introduce also at the classical level concepts like path integrals and generating functionals.
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 mo
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 spherical 2D
Deformations of liquid interfaces by the optical radiation pressure of a focused laser wave were generally expected to display similar behavior, whatever the direction of propagation of the incident beam. Recent experiments showed that the invariance
