摘要
The Space Circle is a toy whose motion is chaotic. A modified version of the device with a tunable stress parameter exhibits a variety of periodic and chaotic states. We have derived and numerically solved the equations of motion for the system and find excellent agreement with experimental results. The problems with some widely used algorithms for diagnosing experimental chaos are discussed. For the Space Circle we find that estimates of the dominant Lyapunov exponent are more robust than estimates of the fractal dimension.
