POD (K-L) Analysis of the Interaction Free Dynamics of a Beam/Pendulum Configuration: An Experimental Study

Abstract

Here we present an analysis of the experimental free dynamics of beam/pendulum configuration. We apply the method of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition. The method identifies the dominant dynamics. Depending on the level of energy a motion is initiated, the interaction dynamics bear distinct signatures of the slow reduced dynamics and distinct signatures of the interaction dynamics.
