Nonlinear analysis of compound pendulum model

Abstract

This paper investigates the relationships among various nonlinear physi cal equations, with a particular focus on the standard form of the ϕ^4 equation. Based on the theoretical framework of the Jacobi elliptic function, an exact solution for the ϕ^4 equation is derived. A key innovation of this work is the discovery of the consistency between the ϕ^4 equation and the motion equation of the compound pendulum. By utilizing this correspondence, an exact solution for the compound pendulum equation is obtained, grounded in the Jacobi elliptic function theory. Compared to numerical methods, this solution provides higher accuracy and has the potential to be applied to
more complex nonlinear physical systems. This model can also be applied in areas such as vibration damping in building materials, mechanical system analysis, and spacecraft control.
