Understanding Forced Damped Oscillations at Resonance and Low Frequencies

In summary, at the natural frequency ω0, the real component of Avel(ω) is F0/k and the imaginary component is 0. A phasor diagram can be used to show the phase difference between Avel(ω) and the driving force at resonance. When ω<<ω0, the velocity either leads or lags the driving force, depending on the value of the damping constant γ. Latex is a formatting tool that can be used for equations to make them look cleaner and easier to read.

Homework Statement


At the natural frequency,ω0 what are the real and imaginary components of Avel(ω) ?

Sketch a phasor diagram with the velocity vector and driving force vector,and use this to provide the phase difference between Avel(ω) and the driving force if ω=ω0 (ι.e at resonance),

and in case ω<<ω0,state whether the velocity leads or lags the driving force


Homework Equations


Avel(ω)=(F0 iω )/[m (ω^2 -ω0^2 +iγω)] where γ=b/m


The Attempt at a Solution


in the first case where ω=ω0 ,maybe the imaginary part of Αvel(ω) is zero since ,Avel(ω)=F0/mω^2 =F0/k

What is Avel? Also, to get more responses it is best to use latex when posting equations.

I also don't completely agree with your answer at the end. When I plug in [itex]w_0[/itex] into your equation, I still retain the damping constant [itex]\gamma[/itex].

Avelocity is the Amplitude response to velocity,
What do you mean latex ?

Then you solved for [itex]A_{vel}(w_0)[/itex] wrong. Latex is a format that makes equations look cleaner. You use the format "tex" with brackets replacing the quotations. You can usually google the latex commands for symbols. One trick is to click on the equations people posted already and a window appears with the commands they used.

Thanks for the advise,
as i become more educated i will use more latex !
 

Related to Understanding Forced Damped Oscillations at Resonance and Low Frequencies

What is a forced damped oscillation?

A forced damped oscillation is a type of oscillatory motion where an object is subjected to a restoring force, such as a spring, and a damping force, such as friction, while also being driven by an external force.

What causes forced damped oscillations?

Forced damped oscillations are caused by an external driving force acting on an object that is also experiencing a restoring force and a damping force. This can occur in many systems, such as a mass-spring system or an electrical circuit.

What is the difference between forced and free damped oscillations?

Free damped oscillations occur when an object is subjected to a restoring force and a damping force without any external driving force. Forced damped oscillations, on the other hand, involve an external driving force in addition to the restoring and damping forces.

How is damping affected in forced damped oscillations?

In forced damped oscillations, damping is typically increased compared to free damped oscillations. This is because the external driving force can counteract the restoring force, causing the object to lose energy faster and dampen more quickly.

What are some real-world examples of forced damped oscillations?

Some real-world examples of forced damped oscillations include a swinging pendulum in the presence of air resistance, a car driving over a bumpy road, and a guitar string being plucked with a pick. These systems experience an external driving force while also being subjected to a restoring force and a damping force.
