A new type of one-dimensional periodic ally driven Hamiltonian system (an harmonic) has been proposed and its characteristics discussed. Chaotic dynamics in the driven oscillator is controlled using an adjustable, passive limiter (a weight for the oscillator). The chaotic trajectories of the conservative system can be controlled to some of the low periodic (or low energy) orbits. The results demonstrate that chaos control can be accomplished using controllers that are very simple relative to the system being controlled.
