Lagrangian approach : The file MF01.nb / MF01.mws attempts, but failed, to solve this analytically. Example 2-1: Parametric Excitation: Example 2-1.nb02-1.nb
2.1.2. The Eardrum Forced simple harmonic oscillator Harmonic force: After an initial transient period, respond only to
Eardrum is asymmetrically loaded Helmholtz’s eardrum equation, 1895
2.1.3. Nonlinear Damping For an ellipsoidal object moving in a fluid without creating turbulence Equation of motion for an object moving near the earth’s surface Stoke’s Law of Resistence: n =1 Newton’s Law of Resistence: n = 2
Motion of a military shell in air • n ~ 1 for v 24 m/s or 86 km/h • n ~ 2 for 24 m/s < v < vs ( ~300 m/s ) • For v≥ vs , there is a “bump” in the |Fdrag| vs |v| curve • n ~ 1 above ~600 m/s.

2.1.4. Nonlinear Lattice Dynamics E. Fermi, J.Pasta, S. Ulam: FPU problem N 64 (eardrum problem )
If springs are harmonic ( 0 ), motion is linear combinations of normal modes. which conserve energies. A system of harmonic springsis NOT ergodic. ( can’t reach thermal equilibrium) FPU showed that their problem was also non-ergodic. This is known as the FPU anomaly. If > C , there is a transition into chaos. equi-partition of energy, if not actual ergodicity.
For small r, (FPU problem)
