Multiple scales method for analyzing a forced damped rotational pendulum oscillatorwithgallows

This study reports the analytical solution for a generalized rotational pendulum system with gallows and periodic excited forces.The multiple scales method(MSM)is applied to solve the proposed problem.Several types of rotational pendulum oscillators are studied and talked about in detail.These include the forced damped rotating pendulum oscillator with gallows,the damped standard simple pendulum oscillator,and the damped rotating pendulum oscillator without gallows.The MSM first-order approximations for all the cases mentioned are derived in detail.The obtained results are illustrated with concrete numerical examples.The first-order MSM approximations are compared to the fourth-order Runge-Kutta(RK4)numerical approximations.Additionally,the maximum error is estimated for the first-order approximations obtained through the MSM,compared to the numerical approximations obtained by the RK4 method.Furthermore,we conducted a comparative analysis of the outcomes obtained by the used method(MSM)and He-MSM to ascertain their respective levels of precision.The proposed method can be applied to analyze many strong nonlinear oscillatory equations.

Nonlinear dynamics of a classical rotating pendulum system with multiple excitations

We report an attempt to reveal the nonlinear dynamic behavior of a classical rotating pendulum system subjected to combined excitations of constant force and periodic excitation.The unperturbed system characterized by strong irrational nonlinearity bears significant similarities to the coupling of a simple pendulum and a smooth and discontinuous(SD)oscillator,especially the phase trajectory with coexistence of Duffing-type and pendulum-type homoclinic orbits.In order to learn the effect of constant force on this pendulum system,all types of phase portraits are displayed by means of the Hamiltonian function with large constant excitation especially the transitions of complex singular closed orbits.Under sufficiently small perturbations of the viscous damping and constant excitation,the Melnikov method is used to analyze the global structure of the phase space and the feature of trajectories.It is shown,both theoretically and numerically,that this system undergoes a homoclinic bifurcation and then bifurcates a unique attracting rotating limit cycle.Finally,the estimation of the chaotic threshold of the rotating pendulum system with multiple excitations is calculated and the predicted periodic and chaotic motions can be shown by applying numerical simulations.
