The simple gravity pendulum [4] is an idealized mathematical model of a pendulum. [5] [6] ... The rods are connected by a frame, as shown in the drawing at the right ...
English: Diagram of simple gravity pendulum, an ideal model of a pendulum. It consists of a massive bob suspended by a weightless rod from a frictionless pivot, without air friction. When given an initial impulse, it oscillates at constant amplitude, forever
Simple pendulum, see picture (right). Simple harmonic oscillator where the phase portrait is made up of ellipses centred at the origin, which is a fixed point. Damped harmonic motion, see animation (right). Van der Pol oscillator see picture (bottom right).
The animations below depict the motion of a simple (frictionless) pendulum with increasing amounts of initial displacement of the bob, or equivalently increasing initial velocity. The small graph above each pendulum is the corresponding phase plane diagram; the horizontal axis is displacement and the vertical axis is velocity. With a large ...
English: Phase portrait of an undamped simple pendulum. The latest revision of the image was created in python using the source code provided below. The first revision of the image was plotted using with GNU Octave using gnuplot backend and saved as a standalone LaTeX file. The PDF generated was then converted to SVG using pdf2svg.

English: Simple nonlinear pendulum, instead of using both x and y coordinates, only the angle is needed to uniquely define the position of the pendulum. The constraint is the tension in the pendulum rod.
