Application of Product Design Concepts and Hybrid System Dynamics to Demonstrate Zeno Behavior and Zeno Periodic Orbits in a Physical Double Pendulum Setup

This thesis aims to explain how the concepts of functional modeling are implemented in the development and validation of real-world hybrid dynamic systems. I also discuss how control theory is integrated with the design process in order to understand the significance of periodic orbits on a simple...
