nonlinear coupling

In this paper the dynamics of two elastically coupled pendulums is studied. The pendulums oscillate under the influence of external rotational moments, their masses are considered to be equal. The current work is motivated by multiple applications in physics and biology that the model has.

One-parameter study of system of two nonlinearly coupled nonidentical Lang–Kobayshi oscillators is presented. The time delay influence on oscillation regimes in the system is studied. The posibility of periodic and quasiperiodic oscillations is shown. Variation of delay time leads to bifurcations and an alternation of periodic and quasiperiodic oscillations. Quasiperiodic oscillations are excited as a result of Neimark–Sacker bifurcation.
