โฆ Synopsis
A new application of the folded pendulum as a tiltmeter is proposed and its response to the crustal vibrations is studied. Theoretical analysis shows that the folded pendulum is very sensitive to the low-frequency components of the crustal tilt vibrations. Preliminary experimental results show that the resolving power of the folded pendulum to the tilt tides is in the order of about 3.5 = 10 y9 rad.

We consider here the dynamics of a planar pendulum whose pivot points is rapidly forced with a periodic driving. We focus attention on stable 'inverted' motions which exist on, or close to, the upright position. Following earlier studies, the initial emphasis is placed on the system with vertical si
