  2. Double pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_pendulum

    A double pendulum consists of two pendulums attached end to end.. In physics and mathematics, in the area of dynamical systems, a double pendulum, also known as a chaotic pendulum, is a pendulum with another pendulum attached to its end, forming a simple physical system that exhibits rich dynamic behavior with a strong sensitivity to initial conditions. [1]

  3. Chaos theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    Starting the pendulum from a slightly different initial condition would result in a vastly different trajectory. The double-rod pendulum is one of the simplest dynamical systems with chaotic solutions. Chaos theory (or chaology [1]) is an interdisciplinary area of scientific study and branch of mathematics.

    English: Six slow-motion videos of the same double pendulum (built with Lego), recorded with a high-speed camera. For each recording, the double pendulum was excited in the same manner. The videos are temporally aligned to show that the behaviour is similar in the beginning and considerably different later – which is due to the butterfly effect.

  5. Generalized coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_coordinates

    A double pendulum. The benefits of generalized coordinates become apparent with the analysis of a double pendulum. For the two masses m i (i = 1, 2), let r i = (x i, y i), i = 1, 2 define their two trajectories. These vectors satisfy the two constraint equations,

  6. Pendulum (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_(mechanics)

    A simple gravity pendulum [1] is an idealized mathematical model of a real pendulum. [2] [3] [4] It is a weight (or bob) on the end of a massless cord suspended from a pivot, without friction. Since in the model there is no frictional energy loss, when given an initial displacement it swings back and forth with a constant amplitude. The model ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duffing_equation

    The Duffing equation (or Duffing oscillator), named after Georg Duffing (1861–1944), is a non-linear second-order differential equation used to model certain damped and driven oscillators.

  9. Category:Dynamical systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Dynamical_systems

    Systems science portal; Dynamical systems deals with the study of the solutions to the equations of motion of systems that are primarily mechanical in nature; although this includes both planetary orbits as well as the behaviour of electronic circuits and the solutions to partial differential equations that arise in biology.
