Chimera States in Mechanical Oscillator Networks by Shashi Thutupalli

Explore chimera states in mechanical oscillator networks in this 45-minute lecture from the Dynamics of Complex Systems 2018 program. Delve into topics like longitude measurement, synchronization heuristics, the Kuramoto model, and global/local coupling. Examine experimental designs, hierarchical networks, and various chimera phenomena including intermittent chaotic chimeras. Gain insights into coupled rotators, oscillator populations, and the extension of Huygens' work through Pantaleone's generalization. Suitable for those interested in non-linear dynamics, complex systems, and network theory.
