Simple Harmonic Motion Nature follows periodicity. The day and night, life and death, everything is repetitive. Periodic motion is the motion that repeats itself after a fixed interval of time. There are many type of periodic motion and the simplest of them is Simple harmonic motion. In SHM, displacement, velocity and acceleration all are sinusoidal. oct. 8, 2012

Defn. Any vibrating system where the restoring force is proportional to the negative of the displacement is in simple harmonic motion (SHM), and is often called a simple harmonic oscillator (SHO). SHM is a motion that repeats itself after regular time interval such that the force acting on it is directed towards its mean position or any other fixed point in its path and the force is also proportional to displacement of the particle from that fixed point oct. 8, 2012

Periodic Motion Periodic motion of a body is that motion which repeats itself over and over again after a fixed interval of time. The fixed or regular interval of time after which the periodic motion is repeated again is called its time period. oct. 8, 2012

Examples of periodic motion The rotation of earth about its axis with period of rotation of one day. The motion of moon around the earth with a time period of 27.3 days. The phases of moon . Revolution of earth around sun with a period of one year. oct. 8, 2012

Oscillatory motion A motion that repeats itself over and over again about its mean position, such that it remains confined within two well defined limits called extreme positions on either side of the mean position that is a fixed point, in a definite interval of time. A periodic and bounded motion of a body about its mean position is called an oscillatory or vibratory motion. It follows that all oscillatory motion are periodic motions but all periodic motions are not oscillatory. oct. 8, 2012

Examples of Oscillatory Motion When a liquid in a U – tube is displaced, it executes oscillatory motion. When a load attached to a spring is pulled once a little from its fixed point and left.

HOOKE'S LAW The restoring force of an ideal spring is given by, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement of the spring from its unstrained length. The minus sign indicates that the restoring force always points in a direction opposite to the displacement of the spring. oct. 8, 2012

Hooke's Law One of the properties of elasticity is that it takes about twice as much force to stretch a spring twice as far. That linear dependence of displacement upon stretching force is called Hooke's law.                                                                         oct. 8, 2012

Oscillating Mass Consider a mass m attached to the end of a spring as shown. If the mass is pulled down and released, it will undergo simple harmonic motion. The period depends on the spring constant, k and the mass m, as given below, oct. 8, 2012

Simple harmonic motion is typified by the motion of a mass on a spring when it is subject to the linear elastic restoring force given by Hooke’s law. The motion is sinusoidal in time and demonstrates a single resonant frequency. oct. 8, 2012

The motion equation for simple harmonic motion contains a complete description of the motion, and other parameters of the motion can be calculated from it.                                                                                                                              The velocity and acceleration are given by                                                                oct. 8, 2012

The motion equations for simple harmonic motion provide for calculating any parameter of the motion if the others are known. oct. 8, 2012

A mass on a spring will trace out a sinusoidal pattern as a function of time, as will any object vibrating in simple harmonic motion . One way to visualize this pattern is to walk in a straight line at constant speed while carrying the vibrating mass. Then the mass will trace out a sinusoidal path in space as well as time. oct. 8, 2012

Oscillations of a Spring If an object vibrates or oscillates back and forth over the same path, each cycle taking the same amount of time, the motion is called periodic. The mass and spring system is a useful model for a periodic system. Figure 14-1. Caption: A mass oscillating at the end of a uniform spring. oct. 8, 2012 32

ENERGY IN SHM :- We already know that the potential energy of a spring is given by: The total mechanical energy is then: The total mechanical energy will be conserved, as we are assuming the system is frictionless. oct. 8, 2012

If the mass is at the equilibrium point, the energy is all kinetic. If the mass is at the limits of its motion, the energy is all potential. If the mass is at the equilibrium point, the energy is all kinetic. We know what the potential energy is at the turning points: Figure 14-10. Caption: Energy changes from potential energy to kinetic energy and back again as the spring oscillates. Energy bar graphs (on the right) are described in Section 8–4. oct. 8, 2012 42

The total energy is, therefore, And we can write: This can be solved for the velocity as a function of position: where oct. 8, 2012

Energy in SHM:- A particle executing SHM possesses both potential and Kinetic energy Potential Energy oct. 8, 2012

Kinetic Energy:- If v is the velocity of the particle executing SHM, when displacement is y, then Total Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy oct. 8, 2012

The Simple Pendulum A simple pendulum consists of a mass at the end of a lightweight cord. We assume that the cord does not stretch, and that its mass is negligible. Figure 14-13. Caption: Strobe-light photo of an oscillating pendulum photographed at equal time intervals. oct. 8, 2012 48

The Simple Pendulum In order to be in SHM, the restoring force must be proportional to the negative of the displacement. Here we have: which is proportional to sin θ and not to θ itself. Figure 14-14. Caption: Simple pendulum. However, if the angle is small, sin θ ≈ θ. oct. 8, 2012 49

oct. 8, 2012

Therefore, for small angles, we have: where The period and frequency are: oct. 8, 2012

So, as long as the cord can be considered massless and the amplitude is small, the period does not depend on the mass. Figure 14-15. Caption: The swinging motion of this lamp, hanging by a very long cord from the ceiling of the cathedral at Pisa, is said to have been observed by Galileo and to have inspired him to the conclusion that the period of a pendulum does not depend on amplitude. oct. 8, 2012 52

If two component frequencies are very close and their difference is small. Therefore, the average frequency is much larger than modulating frequency. The phenomenon that the composite amplitude will change periodically is named a beat. oct. 8, 2012

Free, Forced and Resonant vibrations When a body capable of vibrating in the absence of any dissipative force under the action of a linear restoring force executes simple harmonic motion with a single natural frequency depending upon its dimensions and elastic constants, the period of motion is independent of of amplitude and the body vibrates indefinitely with constant amplitude. This type of vibrations are called free or undamped vibrations. oct. 8, 2012

Its solution is of the form y = a sin (wt + φ The vibrations of electric and magnetic fields in the electromagnetic wave propagating in free space is the best possible example of this type. Its solution is of the form y = a sin (wt + φ oct. 8, 2012

Damped Harmonic Motion Damped harmonic motion is harmonic motion with a frictional or drag force. If the damping is small, we can treat it as an “envelope” that modifies the undamped oscillation. Figure 14-19. Caption: Damped harmonic motion. The solid red curve represents a cosine times a decreasing exponential (the dashed curves). If then oct. 8, 2012 56

Damped Harmonic Motion If b2 > 4mk, ω’ becomes imaginary, and the system is over damped (C). For b2 = 4mk, the system is critically damped (B) —this is the case in which the system reaches equilibrium in the shortest time. Figure 14-20. Caption: Underdamped (A), critically damped (B), and overdamped (C) motion. oct. 8, 2012 58

Damped Harmonic Motion There are systems in which damping is unwanted, such as clocks and watches. Then there are systems in which it is wanted, and often needs to be as close to critical damping as possible, such as automobile shock absorbers and earthquake protection for buildings. Figure 14-21. Caption: Automobile spring and shock absorber provide damping so that a car won’t bounce up and down endlessly. oct. 8, 2012 59

Forced Oscillations; Resonance Forced vibrations occur when there is a periodic driving force. This force may or may not have the same period as the natural frequency of the system. If the frequency is the same as the natural frequency, the amplitude can become quite large. This is called resonance. Figure 14-25. Caption: (a) Large-amplitude oscillations of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, due to gusty winds, led to its collapse (1940). (b) Collapse of a freeway in California, due to the 1989 earthquake. oct. 8, 2012 60

Forced vibrations In case of forced vibrations: The body vibrates with the frequency of applied force and not with its natural frequency. The amplitude is finite and constant. It depends on the frequencies of applied force, body and damping. Lesser the difference in frequencies and lesser the damping, greater will be the amplitude of vibration. The resulting displacement of the body is not in phase with the applied force. It will lag or lead the applied force as the frequency of applied force is lesser or greater than the natural frequency of the body. oct. 8, 2012

Forced Oscillations; Resonance The equation of motion for a forced oscillator is: The solution is: where and oct. 8, 2012 62

Resonance It is a special case of forced vibrations. If a body is set into vibration by an external periodic force whose frequency is equal to the natural frequency of the body, The amplitude of vibration increases at each step and becomes very large. Such vibrations are called resonant vibrations nd the phenomenon is called resonance. oct. 8, 2012

Forced Oscillations; Resonance The sharpness of the resonant peak depends on the damping. If the damping is small (A) it can be quite sharp; if the damping is larger (B) it is less sharp. Figure 14-23. Caption: Resonance for lightly damped (A) and heavily damped (B) systems. Like damping, resonance can be wanted or unwanted. Musical instruments and TV/radio receivers depend on it. oct. 8, 2012 65

Forced Oscillations; Resonance The width of the resonant peak can be characterized by the Q factor: Figure 14-26. Caption: Amplitude of a forced harmonic oscillator as a function of ω. Curves A, B, and C correspond to light, heavy, and overdamped systems, respectively (Q = mω0/b = 6, 2, 0.71). oct. 8, 2012 66

Summary For SHM, the restoring force is proportional to the displacement. The period is the time required for one cycle, and the frequency is the number of cycles per second. Period for a mass on a spring: SHM is sinusoidal. During SHM, the total energy is continually changing from kinetic to potential and back. oct. 8, 2012
