In this paper, we deal with two distinct discrete techniques named the discrete Tanh method and the differential-difference Jacobi elliptic functions sub-ODE method to extract abundant soliton solutions for a coupled nonlinear pendulum chains. According to the two straightforward schemes’, we construct various solutions likewise, kink, anti-kink, bright, dark, singular-bright solitary wave, traveling compacton, traveling gray soliton-like, periodic soliton-like have not reported on the most recently studied mechanical model. We extract the sought solutions with less approximation (introduction of a discrete wave transformation) and display some graphical representations showing well known, novel shapes discovered in a coupled nonlinear pendulum lattice. More often, the tediousness computations of discrete techniques lead some researchers to changing a nonlinear differential-difference equation into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation throughout the semi-discrete approximation before introducing a wave transformation. Nonetheless, the semi-discrete approximation involve a Taylor bounded expansion’s such as the threshold order depends on the ability and skills of researchers to get solutions through available methods and those that they can perform. Hence, while an algorithm can be lead us to avoiding approximation (eventual source of errors), tediousness analytical computations, we perform by using it, in addition of software availability. And therefore, we establish as is the case in the present work various soliton-like solutions by means of two direct discrete techniques. The effect of some physical parameters are displayed on the shaped through 2D and 3D graphical simulations. The used methods (tanh, sn, cn, dn Jacobi elliptic functions approaches) previously applied on other physical models (discrete electrical transmission lattices) are presented here in manner to be replicable for exploring more soliton solutions in different nonlinear discrete physical models.
