• Abstract: Nonlinear dynamics plays a significant role in interdisciplinary fields spanning biology, engineering, mathematics, and physics. Under small-amplitude approximations, certain nonlinear systems can be effectively described by the linear Mathieu equation, which is widely recognized for modeling the response of systems with periodically modulated parameters. Here we investigated a collision-coupled double pendulum system within the framework of Lagrangian mechanics, further explored the nonlinear dynamical characteristics and parametric resonance phenomena at large angular displacements-features that cannot be described by the Mathieu equation alone. Our experiments demonstrate that parametric resonance consistently occurs within a characteristic frequency ratio range ($ \omega /{{\omega }_{0}} $) starting from 2, in agreement with theoretical predictions and numerical simulations. We also find, under periodic driving at moderate frequencies, the system requires initial perturbations to stabilize into periodic states. We propose a novel example in nonlinear dynamics demonstrating large-amplitude parametric resonance phenomena, which also serves as an experimental and theoretical paradigm for exploring classical-quantum correspondences in time crystal research.
