Analytical modelling of driven pendulum with small angular displacement using Undetermined Coefficients Method
Abstract
Abstract Many researchers have worked on dynamical systems in recent times because of its relevance in Engineering and Applied Physics. This paper attempts to model a damped driven simple pendulum as dynamical system and solve the model using Undetermined Coefficients Method. The model is a second order differential equation. The results obtained show that the motion of the pendulum is affected, significantly, by the driving force and the torque of the pendulum. Specifically, as driving force increases the response maximum amplitude of the pendulum decreases.
