The dynamics of a coupled mechanical system with spherical pendulum

The nonlinear response of a three degree of freedom vibratory system with spherical pendulum in the neighbourhood internal and external resonance is investigated. It was assumed that spherical pendulum is suspended to the main body which is suspended by the element characterized by elasticity and damping and is excited harmonically in the vertical direction. The equation of motion have bean solved numerically. In this type system one mode of vibration may excite or damp another one, and for except different kinds of periodic vibrations there may also appear chaotic vibration.
