Stability analysis of two coupled oscillators

Mickhail A. Guzev and Alexandr A. Dmitriev

Vol. 4 (2016), No. 2, 139–152
DOI: 10.2140/memocs.2016.4.139
Abstract

We study a system of two coupled oscillators linked by a linear elastic spring and positioned vertically in a uniform gravity field. It is demonstrated that the system has different equilibrium configurations below and above the oscillators’ suspension centers. We obtained the relations of the string stiffness and the distance between the suspension centers identifying the stability region of the oscillators.

Keywords
coupled oscillators, equilibrium configurations, stability, linear interaction
