Double Spring Mass Systems & Matlab’s ODE 45

Lissajous curves From orbits around Lagrange Points, to double pendulums, we often run into a family of loopy, beautiful, curves. These are called Lissajous curves, and describe complex harmonic motion.  In layman terms, Lissajous curves appear when an object’s motion’s have two independent frequencies. Today, we’ll explore another system that produces Lissajous curves, a double…
