heal.abstract	The free plane motion of a compound pendulum is studied using the Lagrange equations of motion. The specific compound pendulum consists of a main plane disk from which are suspended two chains, each of which is composed of m and n rigid plane disks, respectively. A nonlinear system of m + n + 1 ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with respect to the properly selected generalized coordinates, is obtained. For small-amplitude swing the above system becomes a linear differential system. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors constitute the eigenfrequencies and the modeshapes, respectively, of the free swing of the considered compound pendulum. Also, relations are extracted which ensure a unique swing with no relative rotation between any two disks. Finally, several numerical results are given. © 1991.	en
