Bouncing states of a droplet on a liquid surface under generalized forcing 2018 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Droplets can exhibit complex dynamics when vertically and sinusoidally forced by a liquid surface from which they remain separated by a thin air cushion. Here we extend previous studies to include a family of periodic forcing functions that vary smoothly from sinusoidal to square wave by changing a single parameter. Through analytical and numerical work we find that the dynamics of the droplets and transitions between regular and chaotic regimes are effectively controlled by the impulse imparted on the droplets over a half-period. We also find that having nonsinusoidal forcing lowers the threshold amplitudes for most of the dynamical regimes. This is explained on the basis of a correlation between impulse increases and subsequent energy increases. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FIS2017-87519-P info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E36-17R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 2.353 2018 PHYSICS, MATHEMATICAL 7 / 55 = 0.127 2018 Q1 T1 PHYSICS, FLUIDS & PLASMAS 14 / 32 = 0.438 2018 Q2 T2 0.992 2018 Condensed Matter Physics 2018 Q1 Statistics and Probability 2018 Q1 Statistical and Nonlinear Physics 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-1625-2785 Martinez, P.J.
