I am modelling a free damped simple pendulum and was wondering if anyone could refer me to a paper or perhaps provide me with an expression describing the motion of the pendlum with large initial amplitude. I have solved the equations numerically but am implementing an optimization routine and have been requested a closed form of the equations if possible to speed things up.
I have described the undamped case using elliptic integrals and jacobi functions and was wondering if there is some extension on this to include damping.
Equation to solve is
y'' + cy' -g/l siny = 0
Any help much appreciated!
