Week 3 - Solving second order ODEs
Code:

from scipy.integrate import odeint
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

from PIL import Image

#function that returns dz/dt
def model(theta,t,b,g,l,m):
theta1 = theta[0]
theta2 = theta[1]
dtheta1_dt = theta2
dtheta2_dt = -(b/m)*theta2 - (g/l)*math.sin(theta1)
dtheta_dt = [dtheta1_dt,dtheta2_dt]
return dtheta_dt
b = 0.05
g = 9.81
l = 1
m = 0.5
#initial condition
theta_0 = [0,3]
#time points
t = np.linspace(0,15,300)
#solve ODE
theta = odeint(model,theta_0,t,args = (b,g,l,m))
#print(theta)
#plot results
plt.plot(t,theta[:,0],'b-', label = r'$frac {dtheta_1}{dt}=theta2$')
plt.plot(t,theta[:,1],'r--',label = r'$frac{dtheta2}{dt}= -frac{b}{m}theta_2-frac{g}{l}sintheta_1$')
plt.ylabel('plot')
plt.xlabel('time')
plt.legend(loc = 'best')
#plt.savefig('Graph_disvelo')
plt.show()
#plotting simple pendulum on graph at each angle.
x = theta[0,1]
y=theta[:,0]
ct=1
for ang in y :
x1=0;y1=0
x2=l*math.sin(ang)
y2=-l*math.cos(ang)
plt.figure()
plt.plot([-2.0,2.0],[0,0],'y',linewidth=5)
plt.plot([x1,x2],[y1,y2],linewidth=3)
plt.plot(x2,y2,'o',markersize=20,markerfacecolor='w')
plt.plot(x1,y1,'o',markersize=6,markerfacecolor='r')
plt.xlim([-2.0,2.0])
plt.ylim([-2.0,0.5])
filename = 'test%05d.png'%ct
plt.savefig(filename)
ct=ct+1
#creating 'gif' from the images saved
frames = []
imgs = glob.glob("*.png")
for i in imgs:
new_frame = Image.open(i)
frames.append(new_frame)
# Save into a GIF file that loops forever
frames[0].save('png_to_gif.gif', format='GIF',
append_images=frames[1:],
save_all=True,
duration=60, loop=0)
Results: The graph below shows the variation of Angular displacement and velocity of pendulum w.r.t time.
Blue line—Displacement curve.
Redline—Velocity curve.
