Abstract:
We discuss how the presence of frustration brings about
irregular behaviour in a pendulum with nonlinear
dissipation. Here frustration arises owing to
particular choice of the dissipation. A preliminary
numerical analysis is presented which indicates the transition
to chaos at low frequencies of the driving force.
