Title On the stabilization of a double pendulum acted upon by a follower force by means of parametric excitation

Abstract For a double pendulum with linear viscoelastic joints acted upon by a follower force, it is shown that a parametric excitation applied to this system can stabilize (under certain conditions) the unstable equilibrium that appears in the system in the presence of small dissipation [1].

The application of two parametric excitations to this system leads to a sharp increase in the number of possible parametric resonances, in particular, to the appearance of parametric resonance of multiplicity 2 [2].

In the present paper, two problems of stabilization of the equilibrium of Ziegler's pendulum by means of two independent parametric excitations are considered. In the first problem, the frequencies of the parametric excitations are commensurable with the natural frequencies of the pendulum. In the second problem, stabilization is implemented by means of two high-frequency excitations. To solve this problem, the results of [3] are utilized. It is shown that the region of asymptotic stability can be increased either by one of the two excitations or by two excitations acting simultaneously.
