Dynamics of Pendulum Forced by a Magnetic Excitation with Position-Dependent Phase

This study investigates the dynamics of a magnetic pendulum under time-varying magnetic excitation with a position-dependent phase. The system exhibits complex chaotic and regular dynamics, validated through simulations and experiments. The mathematical model, based on a physical setup, includes a magnetic excitation torque with phase dependence on the dynamic variable. Bifurcation analyses confirm the rich multistability of the system, showcasing periodic attractors, period-doubling bifurcations, and chaotic behavior. Experimental validation demonstrates a high agreement between numerical and experimental results, supporting the efficacy of the proposed model. The study sheds light on the system's sensitivity to changes in magnetic interaction, providing insights into controlling resonance energy exchange in coupled magnetic pendulum systems.

Guidance of the resonance energy flow in the mechanism of coupled magnetic pendulums

This paper presents a methodology of controlling the resonance energy exchange in mechanical system consisting of two weakly coupled magnetic pendulums interacting with the magnetic field generated by coils placed underneath. It is shown that properly guided magnetic fields can effectively change mechanical potentials in a way that the energy flow between the oscillators takes the desired direction. Studies were considered by using a specific set of descriptive functions characterizing the total excitation level, its distribution between the pendulums, and the phase shift. The developed control strategies are based on the observation that, in the case of antiphase oscillation, the energy is moving from the pendulum subjected to the repelling magnetic field, to the oscillator under the attracting field. In contrast, during the inphase oscillations, the energy flow is reversed. Therefore, closed-loop controller requires only the information about phase shift, which is easily estimated from dynamic state signals through the coherency index. Advantage of suggested control strategy is that the temporal rate of inputs is dictated by the speed of beating, which is relatively slow compared to the carrying oscillations.
