Figure-1: A bifurcation diagram is used to assemble all the information about all calculations for
varying parameters into a single diagram. The population increases until the possibility of the
populations value splits into two fixed values. The splitting continues until chaos is reached,
where there isnt a fixed value because all values are possible.
Figure-3: The spring on the left side was defined as Spring A, and the one of the right as Spring
B. The rotary motion sensor is located on the top on a cross rod that connects two long vertical
rods together. The rod seen in the picture holds the mechanical oscillator, driving arm, and
photogate.
First, data was collected to determine the natural frequency of the pendulum system. The
rotary motion sensor was used to record the angular velocity and angular position in rad/s and
rad, respectively. The photogate sensor was used to record the period of the driving arm. Data
was collected by displacing the point mass from equilibrium, and was recorded onto a phase
space using the software DataStudio with a Dell desktop computer. The sampling rate for the
rotary sensor was set at 20Hz. The point mass was displaced from equilibrium before the data
Figure-5: The phase space for a frequency of 0.643Hz, when the driving arm was set at 4cm and
magnetic damper was set at 0.5cm from the disk, shows a period of one.
Figure-5 shows phase space of the fifth trial run. In this trial, the frequency was 0.643Hz.
The trial was determined to have one period because there is only one path. The graph shows a
Figure-6: The Poincar plot for a frequency of 0.643Hz, when the driving arm was set at 4cm
and magnetic damper was set at 0.5cm from the disk, shows a period of one.
Figure-7: The phase space for a frequency of 0.838Hz, when the driving arm was set at 4cm and
magnetic damper was set at 0.5cm from the disk, shows chaotic motion.
Figure-7 shows the seventh trial run. In this trial, the frequency was 0.838 Hz. As shown
in the phase space, the trial was determined to demonstrate chaos because the pendulum
oscillated around two attractors, but did not settle into any pattern. Figure-8 shows the Poincar
plot for the trial. The lack of clusters shown in the graph, also illustrates that there were not any
periods recorded for that frequency.
Figure-8: The Poincar plot for a frequency of 0.838Hz, when the driving arm was set at 4cm
and magnetic damper was set at 0.5cm from the disk, shows chaotic motion.
Figure-9: The phase space for a frequency of 1.174Hz, when the driving arm was set at 4cm and
magnetic damper was set at 0.5cm from the disk, shows a period of one.
Figure-9 shows the ninth trial run. In this trial, the frequency was 1.174 Hz (close to
natural frequency). As shown in the phase plot, the trial was determined to have one period
because there was a single ring. Figure-10 shows the phase plot for the trial. The one cluster of
points illustrated in the display, shows that there is only one period at that frequency.
Figure-10: The Poincar plot for a frequency of 1.174Hz, when the driving arm was set at 4cm
and magnetic damper was set at 0.5cm from the disk, shows a period of one.
Figure-11: The phase space shows chaotic motion for parameters the following parameters: one
fourth of a turn on the magnetic damper, driving amplitude of 5.5cm, and driving frequency of
1.17Hz.
Figure-12: The Poincar plot shows chaotic motion for parameters the following parameters:
one fourth of a turn on the magnetic damper, driving amplitude of 5.5cm, and driving frequency
of 1.17Hz.
Figure-13: The phase space shows a period of five for parameters the following parameters: two
and a fourth turns on the magnetic damper, driving amplitude of 5.5cm, and driving frequency of
1.17Hz.
In Figure-13, the phase phase shows a period of five was recorded when the magnetic
damper was two and a fourth turns in towards the disk. Three of the periods are easily seen in
the graph on the left. However, the other two periods are distorted from the tradition elliptical
pattern as seen on the right. Figure-14 displays this in a Poincar plot.
Figure-14: The Poincar plot shows a period of five for parameters the following parameters:
two and a fourth turns on the magnetic damper, driving amplitude of 5.5cm, and driving
frequency of 1.17Hz.
Figure-15: The phase space shows a period of one for parameters the following parameters:
seven and a fourth turns on the magnetic damper, driving amplitude of 5.5cm, and driving
frequency of 1.17Hz.
In Figure-15, the phase space was created for the trial that had the magnetic damper
turned seven and a fourth turns out toward the disk. The phase space shows signs of chaos but
settles to a period of one.
Figure-16: The Poincar plot shows a period of one for parameters the following parameters:
seven and a fourth turns on the magnetic damper, driving amplitude of 5.5cm, and driving
frequency of 1.17Hz.
