Mode-locking in heavily damped, periodically and quasiperiodically driven nonlinear oscillators

In the case of certain nonlinear oscillators, both elapsed time t and the system’s primary state variable θ may be thought of as periodic, meaning that the state space for the oscillator may be projected on to a torus. Each orbit may therefore be characterised by a winding number. Such systems exhib...
