The group has used several forms of pendulumns in its research. Below are four examples.

The double pendulumn can show remarkably complicated dynamic motion.

The impacting pendulumn is an excellent experimental platform to study impacts and grazing bifurcations.

The spring pendulumn is a simple pendulumn with a spring connected to a mass at the end of the pendulumn. This adds an additional dimension to the problem.

While not a traditional pendulumn, the rocking block provides an interesting platform to study impacts and oscillations.
