Period-1 Motions to Chaos in a Parametrically Excited Pendulum
Keyword(s):
In this paper, bifurcation trees of period-1 motions to chaos are investigated in a parametrically excited pendulum. To construct discrete mapping structures of periodic motions, implicit discrete maps are developed for such a pendulum system. The bifurcation trees from period-1 motions to chaos are predicted semi-analytically through period-1 to period-4 motions. The corresponding stability and bifurcation analysis are carried out through eigenvalue analysis. Finally, numerical simulations of periodic motions can be completed through numerical methods. Such simulation results are illustrated for verification of the analytical predictions.
