Indeed, spiders are likely to move according to pendulums because unlike primates [2], [4], spiders do not need strong muscles on the tips of the limbs to resist their mass pulling their body downwards at the lowest point of the pendulum oscillation, since to attach to the silk, spiders use hardened claws that are fused to the exoskeleton [14].

The paper addresses problems of control of pendulum oscillations under high-frequency vertical vibration of the pivot.
The amplitude of pendulum oscillations decreased and became more prolonged in patients (Fig. 2B e 2C) with respect to control subject (Fig. 2A).
Thus, in experiments in which a pendulum oscillates faster or slower than normal, the observers rate the oscillations violating the physical length-period relation as less natural than the oscillations complying with physics [ 34].
In effect, the plane of the pendulum's oscillation rotates freely.
The systematically applied loading protocols indicate that vertical component of motion may create time-dependent variations on pendulum's oscillation period; yet most dramatic impact on response is produced by the tilting (rocking) component.
In a previous post, I referred to a controversial scientific claim known as the "Allais effect" -- an anomalous change in a pendulum's oscillation that purportedly occurs during a solar eclipse -- to provide sardonic contrast to the more celebrated "Allais paradox," both ideas having been proposed by economist Maurice Allais.
Centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers (CPVAs) are designed to respond to torsional excitation within a centrifugal field so that their dynamic reaction tends to reduce the torsional oscillation of the system in which they operate.
It was Latin America's misfortune in the 20th century to be caught in a pendulum-like oscillation between democracy and authoritarian rule.
Cranes have a simple pendulum-type oscillation that is useful for demonstrating basic ideas.
