Experimental Huygens synchronization of oscillators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an experimental set-up that allows to study both controlled and uncontrolled synchronization between a variety of different type of oscillators. The setup consists of two fully actuated mass-damper-spring oscillators mounted on an actuated platform. By means of different types of feedback realized through computer controlled actuation it is possible to demonstrate different synchronization phenomena, i.e. synchronization of pendula, synchronization of Duffing oscillators, synchronization of rotating bodies, etc. Two experiments are presented where uncontrolled synchronization between two types of identical oscillators is investigated. First, uncontrolled synchronization between two Duffing oscillators is investigated and second, uncontrolled synchronization between two coupled rotating disks is discussed.

Synchronization of weakly nonlinear oscillators with Huygens' coupling.
In this paper, the occurrence of synchronization in pairs of weakly nonlinear self-sustained oscillators that interact via Huygens' coupling, i.e., a suspended rigid bar, is treated. In the analysis, a generalized version of the classical Huygens' experiment of synchronization of two coupled pendulum clocks is considered, in which the clocks are replaced by arbitrary self-sustained oscillators....
متن کاملSynchronization: from pendulum clocks to chaotic lasers and chemical oscillators
Many natural and human-made nonlinear oscillators exhibit the ability to adjust their rhythms due to weak interaction: two lasers, being coupled, start to generate with a common frequency; cardiac pacemaker cells fire simultaneously; violinists in an orchestra play in unison. Such coordination of rhythms is a manifestation of a fundamental nonlinear phenomenon—synchronization. Discovered in the...
متن کاملOn the problem of synchronization of identical dynamical systems: The Huygens’s clocks
In 1665, Christiaan Huygens reported the observation of the synchronization of two pendulum clocks hanged on the wall of his workshop. After synchronization, the clocks swung exactly in the same frequency and 180o out of phase — anti-phase synchronization. Here, we propose and analyze a new interaction mechanism between oscillators leading to exact anti-phase and in-phase synchronization of pen...
متن کاملHuygens ’ clocks revisited Allan
In 1665, Huygens observed that two identical pendulum clocks, weakly coupled through a heavy beam, soon synchronized with the same period and amplitude but with the two pendula swinging in opposite directions. This behaviour is now called anti-phase synchronization. This paper presents an analysis of the behaviour of a large class of coupled identical oscillators, including Huygens’ clocks, usi...
متن کامل11 Synchronization of Chaotic Systems
The first observation of a synchronization phenomenon in physics is attributed to C. Huygens (1673) during his experiments for developing improved pendulum clocks (Huygens, 1673). Two clocks hanging on the same beam of his room were found to oscillate with exactly the same frequency and opposite phase due to the (weak) coupling in terms of the almost imperceptible oscillations of the beam gener...
