CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STUDY OF THE MASSES CHAOTIC MOVEMENTS OF A MECHANICAL SYSTEM

Abstract


The well known mechanical model of Atwood’s machine was used for the experimental determination of gravitational acceleration. Considering the generalized model of this machine, a study was made to assess the chaotic behavior of the mechanical movement of its masses. The theoretical background is presented and also some numerical results, calculated with MatLab software, for different values of the mechanical characteristics of this machine.
