Investigation of elastic pendulum oscillations by simulation technique

Abstract

In this study, elastic spring-mass pendulum oscillations are investigated. In order to solve a nonlinear differential equation system, Simulation Technique based on Modelica Language such as Dymola, SimulationX etc., is used. It's assumed that the spring coefficient in this system is linear and spring mass is neglected. Under these conditions, kinematic behavior of the pendulum was investigated. The governing equation of the system possessing two nonlinear differential equations which interacts each other are solved simultaneously. The obtained results are compared with previous works and seemed good agreements with others.
