1st of all - Hi everyone, this looks like a great resource, hopefully i'll be a frequent visitor!
Anyway, the reason for this post is to findout if anyone knows of any texts concerning the more practical (design) side of hydraulic damping used in suspension systems.
Im at uni in England at...
Could someone please give me a QUALITATIVE description of:
-critical damping
-over damping
-under damping
So I can understand the physics behind the oscillatios in a circuit. I know the mathematical explanations (ie. over damping is when the characteristic polynomial solutions are both...
A spring is stretched 6 inches by a mass that weighs 8 lb. The mass is attached to a dashpot mechanism that has a damping constant of 0.25 lb-sec/ft and is acted on by an external force of 4cos(2t) lb.
a) Determine the steady-state response of this system
b) If the given mass is replaced by...
How can we find practically,the damping of material...Actually we have Honeycomb Sandwich Panels of alumiunm & now we want to find out Damping from an experimental process...
Plz tell me the procedure to find out Damping...
Hi guys,
I am a bit stuck at the moment on this experiment I am doing.
I am trying to model an oscillating spring mass which is being damped using air resistance and a circle piece of polystyrene.
The equation of this will be in the form
d^2y/dt^2 + Rdy/dx + ky/x = 0
I...
Consider damped harmonic oscillations. Let the coeffient of friction gamma be half the value of the one that just gies critical damping.
How many times is the period T larger than it would be for gamma = 0??
WHen gamma is zero -
T = \frac{2 \pi}{\omega}
When gamma is half of the...
I have been given a question about damping that will form part of my A-level coursework, and I wondered if any of you could think of a decent way to go about it.
The brief is to investigate how the amplitude of a compound pendulum decreases with the degree of damping.
Equipment I will...
A 50.0-g hard-boiled egg moves on the end of a spring with force constant . It is released with an amplitude 0.300 m. A damping force acts on the egg. After it oscillates for 5.00 s, the amplitude of the motion has decreased to 0.100 m.Calculate the magnitude of the damping coefficient ...
