It is not easy to find periodic motions to chaos in a pendulum system even though the periodically
forced pendulum is one of the simplest nonlinear systems. However, the inherent complex dynam-
ics of the periodically forced pendulum is much beyond our imaginations through the traditional
approach of linear dynamical systems. Until now, we did not know complex motions of pendulum
yet. What are the mechanism and mathematics of such complex motions in the pendulum? The
results presented herein give a new view of complex motions in the periodically forced pendulum.
Thus, in this paper, periodic motions to chaos in a periodically forced pendulum are predicted
analytically by a semi-analytical method. The method is based on discretization of differential
equations of the dynamical system to obtain implicit maps. Using the implicit maps, mapping
structures for specific periodic motions are developed, and the corresponding periodic motions
can be predicted analytically through such mapping structures. Analytical bifurcation trees of
periodic motions to chaos are obtained, and the corresponding stability and bifurcation analysis
of periodic motions to chaos are carried out by eigenvalue analysis. From the analytical pre-
diction of periodic motions to chaos, the corresponding frequency-amplitude characteristics are
obtained for a better understanding of motions’ complexity in the periodically forced pendulum.
Finally, numerical simulations of selected periodic motions are illustrated. The nontravelable and
travelable periodic motions on the bifurcation trees are discovered. Through this investigation,
the periodic motions to chaos in the periodically forced pendulums can be understood further.
Based on the perturbation method, one cannot achieve the adequate solutions presented herein
for periodic motions to chaos in the periodically forced pendulum.
