the double pendulum is a classical problem in dynamics.
any book on the subject will have the development of the
associated equations of motion.  (e.g. Goldstein; Meirovitch).
Besides the equations of motion are not hard to derive.  Books on
multibody dynamics would have the development for the multi-pendulum.
