Description

Unbalanced rotors exhibit a characteristic mechanical oscillation. Using non-linear Duffing equations the dynamics are recreated in a computer model with springing and damping depending on the excitation amplitude. The curve is supplemented by synthesizer acoustics. Analysis using phase curve, trajectories, Poincaré sections, the 3D-Model of a strange attractor and Ueda-diagram.

Segment 1

0 Starts: 0:00 (4:05)

Determinstic non-linear dynamic systems show many different kinds of behaviour ranging from periodic oscillations to irregular chaotic motions. The last-named are fascinating but difficult to study. Normal modes of study often fail. Duffing's equation is shown and discussed. A physical model is shown to demonstrate further using various constant parametres, with the forcing amplitude varying.

Segment 2

245 Starts: 4:05 (5:33)

An oscillation of period 1 a = 4. An oscillation of period 3 a = 9. Chaotic motions for 1 = 12. Stability diagrams. An acoustic experiment to demonstrate the different oscillation frequencies.

Segment 3

578 Starts: 9:38 (5:28)

Graphs alone cannot always demonstrate the complexity of the situation. Poincare's so-called State Space does this. Two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional portraits.

Segment 4

906 Starts: 15:06 (5:00)

Other representations of the various periods including a three-dimensional ring, and then a more complex model and the Poincare map. The development of the Strange Attractor and the difference bettween this and the Poincare Map.

Segment 5

1206 Starts: 20:06 (1:41)

Analysing a series of planes through the ring, we eventually return to our starting position. Credits.
