MOTION OF CONICAL PENDULUM,

Abstract

The motion of a conical pendulum has been studied by means of an analog computer simulation. The pendulum was excited by motion of the attachment point due to the application of a sinusoidal forcing function. Also the pendulum was initially displaced in the plane perpendicular to the direction of the forcing function. A damping ratio of 3% to 5% was used in order to attain a steady state frequency response record in a reasonable amount of computing time. Equations of motion and other formulae are given. (Author)
