Estimating the chaos boundaries of a double pendulum

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Loss of the orbital stability of a double pendulum is considered in terms of Lyapunov exponents. The boundaries of the domain of stochastic motion caused by bifurcational and chaotic processes are estimated
