Paradoxical Stabilization of Forced Oscillations by Strong Nonlinear Friction
arXiv:1702.01645 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2017.06.007
Abstract
In a dissipative dynamic system driven by an oscillating force, a strong nonlinear highly oscillatory friction force can create a quasi-steady tug, which is always directed opposite to the ponderomotive force induced due to a spatial inhomogeneity of oscillations. When the friction-induced tug exceeds the ponderomotive force, the friction stabilizes the system oscillations near the maxima of the oscillation spatial amplitude.
