Duffing Equation: From Hooke's Law to Chaos

from Intellectually Curious Hosted by Mike Breault

Dive into the nonlinear world of the Duffing oscillator. We explore how a simple spring with a nonlinear twist can jump between steady, predictable motion and chaotic behavior as damping, stiffness, and driving force interact. We'll unpack key parameters, jump resonance, history-dependent responses, and the numerical tools (like Runge–Kutta and homotopy methods) used to map order from chaos.
