Hi all, I have a problem with calculating frequency response function from measured acceleration and excitation force. The following sentences tell the method to follow. "In each test case, excitation signals from the shaker to the base were random. Each time signal gathered consisted of...

Dear all In case of a material that instantaneous responds to an external applied field is P(r,t)=χE(t) Is the suseptibility then time independent? And if so, how it is possible to derive from the above equation an equation in the frequency domain? Yours

I'm not sure I'm providing enough information in order to get a meaningful reply, but I'll try anyway: Lets say you have a regulator of some sort, with a LC filter on the output, and some sort of feedback loop with an unknown transient response (i.e. you lack info on the system's phase...

the problem statement is attached. i've begun by converting everything into phasor notation but I'm not quite sure where to go from here. when i try to add the C and the L phasors, i get zero. this doesn't seem right. another problem is i have no idea what to do when i get the impedances of...

y'' + 6y' + 4y = x(t) I found the eigenvalues to be -.764 and -5.24, no problems here. Next, since the order of the response is greater than the order of the excitation, I assumed the unit response took the form: h(t) = k_1e^{-.764t} + k_2e^{-5.24t} So now I must find the values for k_1 and...

I would like to know the difference between pulse response and impulse response. I looked for "pulse" and "impulse" on the internet and found that on some websites they had been used interchangeably. Apart from that I checked out some books and found that they use the term "impulse response"...

Hi, I am a little bit confused about the impulse response of one electron. Assume that we have LTI system characterized by impulse response h(t) with unit gain, int{h(t)} = 1. Let the input is current i(t) [Amp]. So the output current will be i(t)*h(t). We can view it as i(t) is...
