Abstract
This paper considers stochastic dynamics of a pendulum, motion of which is described by a nonlinear Mathieu equation subjected to a stochastic parametric excitation. Investigation of the rotational motion exhibited for some parameters ranges is on the center of attention. Different ways of modeling the stochastic excitation are examined in the frame of pursuing robust rotations of the realistic pendulum. Namely, the excitation is first modeled as a pure Gaussian white noise, then as a narrow-band stochastic process. The effects of damping, intensity and the direction of the excitation are also taken into consideration.
