Chaotic Dynamics and Stability Analysis of a Roller Bicycle
摘要
We analyze the stability of the straight-line motion of the bicycle depending onthe mass-geometric parameters of the bicycle and its translational velocity.We construct a region in phase space which corresponds to initial conditions under whichthe bicycle tends asymptotically to straight-line motion. To investigate thebifurcations of the periodic solutions of the system, we construct a chart ofdynamical regimes on the plane of two parameters and a three-dimensional Poincaré map.We analyze the possibility of acceleration or deceleration of the bicyclewhen the angular velocity of the rotor periodically changesin time.
