Relaciones entre los elementos de un polígono hiperbólico

In the present worksheet is shown a procedure to obtain the relations for the sides and angles of a hyperbolic polygon, no matter its number of sides. The study consists of two parts, the first for polygons in general and the second for right-angled polygons in particular. The results can be applied, for instance, to the construction of hyperbolic polygons. For that, the required number of data is 2p-3, p being the number of the sides of the polygon.

Stepwise precession of a double elastic-spherical pendulum

The physical effect known as stepwise precession is a surprising fact that takes place in the movement of an elastic pendulum. When this pendulum is initially set near the downward equilibrium vertical configuration, with the length of the spring stretched by the gravity force, there is a chance to move in such a way that the springing vibrational mode of movement and the rotational "swing" mode interchange periodically their respective energies, with a periodic change of the swing plane and stepwise precession. We simulate here numerically the same dynamical behaviour for the natural extension of a double elastic-spherical pendulum.
