contents We study here the semiclassical dynamics of a superconducting circuit constituted by two Josephson junctions in series, in the presence of a voltage bias. We derive the equations of motion for the circuit through a Hamiltonian description of the problem, considering the voltage sources as semi-holonomic constraints. We find that the dynamics of the system corresponds to that of a planar rotor with an oscillating pivot. We show that the system exhibits a rich dynamical behaviour with chaotic properties and we present a topological classification of the cyclic solutions, providing insight into the fractal nature of the dynamical attractors.
