Appdynsys Spherical Pendulum Initial Conditions - Detailed Analysis & Overview
Spherical pendula, like planar pendula, exhibit chaotic dynamics when coupled together. This double This is the exact same simulation as the previous double let's see what happens when we simulate a What is chaotic dynamics? One of the hallmarks of chaos is something called SDIC = sensitive dependence on and, of course, things can be taken to an unsightly extreme when it comes to building chaotic compound pendula. Let's take a look at that same simulation of a double
Let's repeat the simulation of the (chaotic!) double you can build (or find for sale) pendular configurations built from objects other than rigid rods. this one, made from solid rings, ...
