Description:
Assorted real life examples are indispensable to teaching, however, most engineering vibration textbooks are deficient in such examples, and most of them are exclusively mass-spring systems, especially the multi-degree-of-freedom case. To enrich lecture content, some triple-pendulum instances are presented. The parameters of these instances are tuned to have closed-form solutions. The principal vibration and free vibration of one instance are presented. These examples can be illustrated clearly and promptly in limited time and writing space.
