Abstract EN
Rattleback is a canoe-shaped object, already known from ancient times, exhibiting a nontrivial rotational behaviour.
Although its shape looks symmetric, its kinematic behaviour seems to be asymmetric.
When spun in one direction it normally rotates, but when it is spun in the other direction it stops rotating and oscillates until it finally starts rotating in the other direction.
It has already been reported that those oscillations demonstrate chaotic characteristics.
In this paper, rattleback’s chaotic dynamics are studied by applying Kane’s model for different sets of (experimentally decided) parameters, which correspond to three different experimental prototypes made of wax, gypsum, and lead-solder.
The emerging chaotic behaviour in all three cases has been studied and evaluated by the related time-series analysis and the calculation of the strange attractors’ invariant parameters.
