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.

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.

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.

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.

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