Generic-Type Results for Chaotic Dynamics in Equations with Periodic Forcing Terms

We prove that a class of equations containing the classical periodically forced pendulum problem displays the main features of chaotic dynamics for a set of forcing terms open and dense in suitable spaces. The approach is based on global variational methods.
