THE KAPITZA-WHITNEY PENDULUM: AVERAGING OVER AN INFINITE INTERVAL IN THE CASE OF A NON-PERIODIC RIGHT-HAND SIDE
摘要
A generalization of the classical Kapitza pendulum — a planar mathematical pendulum on a vibrating base — is considered in the case where an additional horizontal force acts on the pendulum. It is shown that for a sufficiently high frequency of base vibrations there exists a one-parameter family of solutions to the system along which the pendulum does not become horizontal and is left strictly in the upper half-plane. The proof employs a topological-analytical approach to infinite-time averaging. Bibliography: 9 titles. Illustrations: 2 figures.
