Experimental observation of dynamic stabilization in a double-well Duffing oscillator

초록

Dynamic stabilization of an unstable periodic orbit, a new interesting non-equilibrium phenomenon in driven nonlinear systems, has been experimentally observed in an electronic analog circuit of a driven double-well Duffing oscillator. We suggest that the dynamic stabilization is a generic property of driven nonlinear systems with humped potentials. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
