  3. “…it may happen that small differences in the initial conditions produce very great ones in the final phenomena. A small error in the former will produce an enormous error in the latter. Prediction becomes impossible...”, Poincaré Jules Henri Poincaré (1854–1912) Aleksandr Lyapunov (1857–1918)

  4. Edward Norton Lorenz (1917 – 2008) Lorenz attractor 1972 paper: "Predictability: Does the Flap of a Butterfly's Wings in Brazil Set Off a Tornado in Texas? Les objets fractals, forme, hasard et dimension (1975) The Fractal Geometry of Nature (1982) Benoît Mandlebrot (1924-) Mandelbrot set

  5. Three Chaos Experiments • Water drops • Example of fluid system • Chaotic pendulum • Example of mechanical system • Electronic Duffing oscillator • Example of electronic system

  6. Analyses • Return maps , Poincaré sections, Attractors (strange and normal) • Plotting methods and concepts associated with chaotic sequences • Parameter fitting • Determine model parameters from data • Fractal dimensions and Lyapunov exponents • Determine attractor parameters • Simulations • For checking and hypothesizing

  7. Drop chaos apparatus

  8. data acquisition photogate signal goes to gate of counter. counter continually counts internal 20 MHz clock pulses, mode is set so rising edge of gate triggers buffered readings of count. software reads buffer data, ignores satellite drops, computes tn saves data to file.

  18. data acquisition/elec. chaos

  19. data • 200 per drive cycle • only explicit measurement --- • 50,000 cycles or n=10,000,000 q s • by differentiation of q • 2p/200 (n mod 200) • cyclic variable from 0 to 199/200 (2p)

  20. phase space variables q, w, f Autonomous: System of first order differential equations without explicit time Equation of motion If angular acceleration is determined along with q, w, f, then the middle equation could be used in a linear regression to find k, m, G. G’, e. f is a cyclic variable, perfect for making Poincaré sections trivial to construct which then become two-dimensional and easy to display. Simulator uses the Runge-Kutte algorithm with these equations at 40 points per drive cycle. • definitions/initial conditions: • q --- position • w --- velocity • f --- drive phase Poincaré–Bendixson theorem: System at the minimum required dimensionality of three for chaos.

  37. Conclusions • Chaos is interesting to students • My pendulum and circuit allow for nearly paradigmatic studies including • Creation of multiple Poincaré sections • Analysis of equation of motion, fractal dimension, and Lyapunov exponent • Drop chaos adds return map analysis • Chaos experiments should be an integral part of the advanced lab
