Stability of Levitrons
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Levitron is a magnetic spinning top which can levitate in the constant eld of a repelling base magnet. The present work develops an exact theory of the Levitron with six degrees of freedom. The stability of the symmetric relative equilibrium is calculated. The main result is a complete classiication of possible Levitrons that allow for an interval of stable spin rates. Stability of the relative equilibrium is lost in Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcations if either the spin rate is too large or too small.

Stability of the LevitronTM
The Levitron TM is a magnetic spinning top which can levitate in the constant eld of a repelling base magnet. An explanation for the stability of the Levitron TM using adiabatic approximation has been given by M.V. Berry. In experiment the top eventually looses stability at a critical spin rate which can not be predicted by Berry's approach. The present work develops an exact theory of the Levi...
متن کاملOf flying frogs and levitrons
Diamagnetic objects are repelled by magnetic fields. If the fields are strong enough, this repulsion can balance gravity, and objects levitated in this way can be held in stable equilibrium, apparently violating Earnshaw’s theorem. In fact Earnshaw’s theorem does not apply to induced magnetism, and it is possible for the total energy (gravitational + magnetic) to possess a minimum. General stab...
متن کاملFuzzy Lyapunov stability and exponential stability in control systems
Fuzzy control systems have had various applications in a wide range of science and engineering in recent years. Since an unstable control system is typically useless and potentially dangerous, stability is the most important requirement for any control system (including fuzzy control system). Conceptually, there are two types of stability for control systems: Lyapunov stability (a special case ...
متن کاملStability analysis of nonlinear hybrid delayed systems described by impulsive fuzzy differential equations
In this paper we introduce some stability criteria of nonlinear hybrid systems with time delay described by impulsive hybrid fuzzy system of differential equations. Firstly, a comparison principle for fuzzy differential system based on a notion of upper quasi-monotone nondecreasing is presented. Here, for stability analysis of fuzzy dynamical systems, vector Lyapunov-like functions are defined....
متن کاملStability analysis of impulsive fuzzy differential equations with finite delayed state
In this paper we introduce some stability criteria for impulsive fuzzy system of differential equations with finite delay in states. Firstly, a new comparison principle for fuzzy differential system compared to crisp ordinary differential equation, based on a notion of upper quasi-monotone nondecreasing, in N dimentional state space is presented. Furthermore, in order to analyze the stability o...
