  2. Motivation & Background • Simple system, chaotic motion • Chaos: small Δinitial➔ large Δfinal • Exponential separation characterized by Lyapunov Exponent UO Undergraduate Research Symposium

  3. Two Modes of Attack Simulation Physical Pendulum • MATLAB generated • Runge-Kutta Method • No Friction • Double-bar pendulum • Released from high angle • Circular dots for tracking • Casio EX-F1 at ~5 feet • 600 fps analyzed in MATLAB UO Undergraduate Research Symposium

  4. Circle Detection & Tracking • Circle Detection – Circular Hough • Accumulation Array • Circle Differentiation • Angles Extracted UO Undergraduate Research Symposium

  5. Phase Space Plots • 4 parameters: θ,Φ, δθ, δΦ • Angle 1 vs. its Angular Velocity • Chaotic ➔ Periodic UO Undergraduate Research Symposium

  6. Lyapunov Exponent • 4 parameters: θ,Φ, δθ, δΦ • |δZ(t)|≈|δZ(t0)|eλt • At least 1 positive to show chaotic behavior • Rosenstein Method • Nearest Neighbors • Temporal Separation UO Undergraduate Research Symposium
