Van der Pol equation potential

AI Thread Summary
The original article by B. van der Pol titled "The nonlinear theory of electric oscillations" was published in the Proceedings of the Institute of Radio Engineers (Proc. IRE) in September 1934. The discussion focuses on understanding how the nonlinear potential is derived when modeling the RLC circuit that leads to the Van der Pol equation. Participants are seeking online access to the article and clarification on the abbreviation "Proc." which stands for "Proceedings." Any references or guidance on locating the article would be appreciated. The conversation emphasizes the importance of the original work in comprehending the nonlinear dynamics in electrical circuits.

Hello guys, I am looking for the original article of Van der Pol.

B. van der Pol, "The nonlinear theory of electric oscillations," Proc. IRE, vol. 22, pp. 1051--1086, Sept. 1934.

do you have an idea of where i can find it? (online :blushing:, or what does proc. IRE means?)

The main idea is to find out how does the non linear potential arrives when modeling the RLC circuit that generates the Van der Pol equation.

Any reference would help.

Thx guys.

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...
Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario
Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
