Abstract

In this paper, we present a semi analytical solution for a damped driven pendulum with small amplitude, by using the differential transformation method. We begin by showing how the differential transformation method applies to the non-linear dynamical system. The method transformed the differential equation governing the motion of the pendulum into its algebraic form. The results obtained are in good agreement with the solution in the literature. The results show that the technique introduced is easy to apply to such dynamical system
