Chaos in vibrating systems with a limited power-supply

Chaos. 1993 Jul;3(3):387-395. doi: 10.1063/1.165946.

Abstract

New models and properties of forced oscillations of the various physical systems (pendulum and piezoceramic transducer) due to the interaction with the excitation device of limited power-supply are investigated in details. Using an analysis of the largest Lyapunov exponent for a complicated system-vibrating subsystem and exciter-the regions for three steady state regimes are determined, namely: stationary, periodic and chaotic.
