## Examples of Numerical Analysis in Dynamics

### 1- Double Pendulum Kinematics

[double_pendulum.m](./double_pendulum.m) has a script to plot the velocity over time and
create an animation of the link positions. [double_pendulum.ipynb](double_pendulum.ipynb)
shows the output of the code. 

### 2- Rotating Pendulum Equations of motion

A pendulum is fixed to a rotating L-bracket, the solution to the rotating system is given
in [rotating pendulum solution](./rotating_pendulum.ipynb)
