Damped and Forced Oscillations Introducing non-conservative forces § 13.7–13.8
Damping Force Such as viscous drag v Drag opposes motion: F = –bv
Poll Question How does damping affect the oscillation frequency? Damping increases the frequency. Damping does not affect the frequency. Damping decreases the frequency.
Light Damping x(t) = Ae cos(w't + f) – w' = If w' > 0: Oscillates –bt 2m x(t) = Ae cos(w't + f) k – b2 w' = m 4m2 If w' > 0: Oscillates Frequency slower than undamped case Amplitude decreases over time
Critical Damping – w' = If w' = 0: x(t) = (C1 + C2t) e–at k m 4m2 b2 – If w' = 0: x(t) = (C1 + C2t) e–at No oscillation If displaced, returns directly to equilibrium
Overdamping – w' = If w' is imaginary: x(t) = C1 e–a t + C2 e–a t k m 4m2 b2 – If w' is imaginary: x(t) = C1 e–a t + C2 e–a t 1 2 No oscillation If displaced, returns slowly to equilibrium
Energy in Damping Damping force –bv is not conservative Total mechanical energy decreases over time Power = F·v = –bv·v = –bv2
Forced Oscillation Periodic driving force F(t) = Fmax cos(wdt)
Forced Oscillation If no damping If wd = w', amplitude increases without bound
Resonance If lightly damped: greatest amplitude when wd = w' Critical or over-damping (b ≥ 2 km): no resonance Source: Young and Freedman, Fig. 13.28
