摘要：A computer experiment is an experiment conducted using data obtained from a computer model or simulator in lieu of the physical process. A physics-based experiment known as a simple pendulum experiment was performed as a demonstrative example for a computer experiment. A true model called a simulator or a computer model of a simple pendulum was used to mimic a real life pendulum experiment.The inputs to the computer code were varied in order to determine the effect of different inputs on the output(s). The outputs of such computer model or simulator served as a proxy for the real life observations of the study. Our interest in this study is to determine the output which is the time it takes the bob of a pendulum to return to rest. This time is also called the stoppage time in this research. MATLAB 2012a computer package (www.mathworks.com/) was used for the development of the program that generates the time it takes the pendulum to return to rest
