Iterative Method of Construction of a Bifurcation Diagram of Autorotation Motions for a System with one Degree of Freedom

摘要

The modification of the Picard approach is suggested that is targeted to the construction of a bifurcation diagram of 2π -periodic motions of mechanical system with a cylindrical phase space. Each iterative step is based on principles of averaging and energy balance similar to the Poincare-Pontryagin approach. If the iterative procedure converges, it provides the periodic trajectory of the system depending on the bifurcation parameter of the model. The method is applied to describe self-sustained rotations in the model of an aerodynamic pendulum.
