Abstract: In single degreeoffreedom (DOF) oscillators, impacts can occur with a barrier while in a system with multiple DOF, one can additionally observe impacts among interacting bodies. On the one hand, impacts are intrinsic for ...

Abstract: We study the synchronization of two rotating pendula mounted on a horizontal beam, which can roll on the parallel surface. The pendula are forced to rotate by different driving torques. It has been shown that after a ...
