Strongly coupled overdamped pendulums

Abstract: It is shown, by a first-order perturbation expansion, that the dimensionality of the dynamical equations for the angular variables of two strongly coupled identical overdamped pendulums can be reduced from two to one. The resulting dynamical equation is seen to be similar to the one of a single pendulum with an additional fictitious torque characterized by a second harmonic contribution.

“…The assumption that each generator is strongly overdamped is captured by the smallness of the perturbation parameter = M max /D min . This choice of the perturbation parameter and the subsequent singular perturbation analysis (in Section IV) is similar to the analysis of Josephson arrays [26], coupled overdamped mechanical pendula [47], flocking models [48], and also classic transient stability analysis [4,Theorem 5.2], [36]. In the linear case, this analysis resembles the well-known overdamped harmonic oscillator, which features one slow and one fast eigenvalue.…”
