  2. Damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping

    The effect of varying damping ratio on a second-order system. The damping ratio is a parameter, usually denoted by ζ (Greek letter zeta), [7] that characterizes the frequency response of a second-order ordinary differential equation. It is particularly important in the study of control theory. It is also important in the harmonic oscillator ...

  3. Duffing equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duffing_equation

    The number of parameters in the Duffing equation can be reduced by two through scaling (in accord with the Buckingham π theorem), e.g. the excursion and time can be scaled as: [2] = and = /, assuming is positive (other scalings are possible for different ranges of the parameters, or for different emphasis in the problem studied).

  4. Van der Pol oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Pol_oscillator

    See Poincaré–Lindstedt method for a derivation to order 2. See chapter 10 of [14] for a derivation up to order 3, and [15] for a numerical derivation up to order 164. For large μ, the behavior of the oscillator has a slow buildup, fast release cycle (a cycle of building up the tension and releasing the tension, thus a relaxation oscillation).

  5. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    The tuning application, for instance, is an example of band-pass filtering. The RLC filter is described as a second-order circuit, meaning that any voltage or current in the circuit can be described by a second-order differential equation in circuit analysis. The three circuit elements, R, L and C, can be combined in a number of different ...

  6. Newmark-beta method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newmark-beta_method

    here is the mass matrix, is the damping matrix, and are internal force per unit displacement and external forces, respectively. Using the extended mean value theorem , the Newmark- β {\displaystyle \beta } method states that the first time derivative (velocity in the equation of motion ) can be solved as,

  7. Harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator

    A simple harmonic oscillator is an oscillator that is neither driven nor damped.It consists of a mass m, which experiences a single force F, which pulls the mass in the direction of the point x = 0 and depends only on the position x of the mass and a constant k.

  8. Overshoot (signal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overshoot_(signal)

    For second-order systems, the percentage overshoot is a function of the damping ratio ...

  9. Stiff equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiff_equation

    For some problems this is not the case. In order for a numerical method to give a reliable solution to the differential system sometimes the step size is required to be at an unacceptably small level in a region where the solution curve is very smooth. The phenomenon is known as stiffness. In some cases there may be two different problems with ...
