Differential equations pendulum

A difference between these two concepts can be illustrated in many ways. Consider, for example, a mathematical pendulum in this case the old concept of trajectories around a center holds. On the other hand, in the case of a wound clock at standstill, clearly it is immaterial whether the starting impulse is small or large (as long as it is sufficient for starting, the ultimate motion will be exactly the same). Electron tube circuits and other self-excited devices exhibit similar features their ultimate motion depends on the differential equation itself and not on the initial conditions. 

How can the result of unique steady state be consistent with the observed oscillation in Figure 5.9 The answer is that the steady state, which mathematically exists, is physically impossible since it is unstable. By unstable, we mean that no matter how close the system comes to the unstable steady state, the dynamics leads the system away from the steady state rather than to it. This is analogous to the situation of a simple pendulum, which has an unstable steady state when the weight is suspended at exactly at 180° from its resting position. (Stability analysis, which is an important topic in model analysis and in differential equations in general, is discussed in detail in a number of texts, including [146].)... 

In order to understand the mathematical importance of the chemostat, one must look at the broader picture of the subject of nonlinear differential equations. Linear differential equations have been studied for more than two hundred years their solutions have a rich structure that has been well worked out and exploited in physics, chemistry, and biology. Avast and challenging new world opens up when one turns to nonlinear differential equations. There is an almost incomprehensible variety of non-linearities to be studied, and there is little common structure among them. Models of the physical and biological world provide classes of nonlinearities that are worthy of study. Some of the classic and most studied nonlinear differential equations are those associated with the simple pendulum. Other famous equations include those associated with the names of... 

As tools for analyzing differential equations. We have already encountered maps in this role. For instance, Poincare maps allowed us to prove the existence of a periodic solution for the driven pendulum and Josephson junction (Section 8.5), and to analyze the stability of periodic solutions in general (Section 8.7). The Lorenz map (Section 9.4) provided strong evidence that the Lorenz attractor is truly strange, and is not just a long-period limit cycle. 

A pendulum of length L oscillates in a vertical plane. Assuming that the mass of the pendulum is all concentrated at the end of the pendulum, show that it obeys the differential equation... 

To illustrate the progression from vibrational model to constrained model, one may consider a single particle subject to a potential U(q) as well as an additional stiff restraint. We suppose the restraint to have an associated coefficient fc = , where e is a small parameter. Then we have a generalized flexible pendulum with Hamiltonian H = pf/i2m) + U(q) + e Hll ll - o)V2 (see the left panel of Fig. 4.4). The differential equations describing this model are... 

Example 5.6 (Anisotropic Oscillator) The anisotropic oscillator was used in Chap. 1 to illustrate the concept of a chaotic dynamical system. Fix, arbitrarily, a small set of initial conditions for the anisotropic pendulum at energy Eq, with positions in a small interval on the positive x axis, 1.05 < x < 1.15 and y = 0. For each point (x, 0) taken from this set select the initial velocities as x = 0, y = [2(Eo — U(x, 0))] /. The set y = 0, y = 0 is invariant under the differential equations of the perturbed central force problem, since the force acts in the radial direction our choice of initial conditions ensures that trajectories explore the larger H = Eq energy surface. 

The exact second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations of motion for a free vibrating double pendulum are given in [25,26]. For this example m = mi = m2 = 0.1, /i = 2 = 1.0, and mci = rric2 = 2m. By substituting these values for the link lengths and masses, into the equations of motion for a double pendulum, the exact system of equations of motion for the rigid double pendulum studied in this example is defined as.

Compare the expression obtained with the general type of differential equation of harmonic oscillation (eq. (2.4.1)). From the fact that both equations have a similar form, it can be stated that the weight makes a harmonic oscillation. Thereof, the other definition of a harmonic oscillation is an oscillation that occurs under the action of an elastic force. By equating the multipliers in the similar terms of the equation, we can derive an expression for the cyclic frequency of the spring pendulum ... 

Sign corresponds to the accepted sign rule for the returning force moment of the Oz axis. Thereby, the differential equation for small physical pendulum oscillations according to eqs. (2.4.10) and (2.4.11) can be written as... 

Having determined that a flow input is required and that the system is inherently hard to control due to the RHP pole and zero, the next step is to design a controller. A state-space approach is used here and so a state-space model must first be derived from the bond graph of Fig. 5.2c. This system represents a differential-algebraic equation (DAE) which can, however, be rewritten as a state-space equation. In particular, system state-space equations can be derived from Fig. 5.2c as follows. Defining the angular momenta of the two pendula as h and /12, respectively, the torque eo (which drives the controlled pendulum) is, from the left-hand side of Fig. 5.2e,...
