The Pendulum Lab
written by Franz-Josef Elmer
This site contains a combination of interactive simulations and lecture notes on harmonic oscillators, resonance, nonlinear dynamics, and chaos.  Users can change variables such as the length of the pendulum, damping, amplitude, and frequency and view the result of the changes.  Help for users is available with a single click.  The lecture page offers four detailed chapters that explain the physics and calculus-based mathematics behind the pendulum simulations.
