Normal modes of a double pendulum with a two-to-one length ratio
ID: normal-modes-of-a-double-pendulum-with-a-two-to-one-length-ratio
For equal point masses and upper/lower massless rods of length , angular coordinates from the downward vertical give mass matrix and stiffness matrix . The generalized eigenvalue problem reduces to , where . The slow mode has angular-amplitude ratio , and the fast mode has ratio .
