Underdamped spring–mass system with ζ < 1. In physical systems, damping is the loss of energy of an oscillating system by dissipation. [1] [2] Damping is an influence within or upon an oscillatory system that has the effect of reducing or preventing its oscillation. [3]
In a mass–spring system, with mass m and spring stiffness k, the natural angular frequency can be calculated as: = In an electrical network , ω is a natural angular frequency of a response function f ( t ) if the Laplace transform F ( s ) of f ( t ) includes the term Ke − st , where s = σ + ω i for a real σ , and K ≠ 0 is a constant ...
Pick a frequency f, and assume that there is a hypothetical Single Degree of Freedom (SDOF) system with a damped natural frequency of f ; Calculate (by direct time-domain simulation) the maximum instantaneous absolute acceleration experienced by the mass element of your SDOF at any time during (or after) exposure to the shock in question.
Therefore, the damped and undamped description are often dropped when stating the natural frequency (e.g. with 0.1 damping ratio, the damped natural frequency is only 1% less than the undamped). The plots to the side present how 0.1 and 0.3 damping ratios effect how the system “rings” down over time.
The mass-spring-damper model consists of discrete mass nodes distributed throughout an object and interconnected via a network of springs and dampers. This model is well-suited for modelling object with complex material properties such as nonlinearity and viscoelasticity .
where = is called the damping ratio of the system, = is the natural angular frequency of the undamped system (when c=0) and = is the angular frequency when damping effect is taken into account (when ).
The logarithmic decrement can be obtained e.g. as ln(x 1 /x 3).Logarithmic decrement, , is used to find the damping ratio of an underdamped system in the time domain.. The method of logarithmic decrement becomes less and less precise as the damping ratio increases past about 0.5; it does not apply at all for a damping ratio greater than 1.0 because the system is overdamped.
The natural frequency of the very simple mechanical system consisting of a weight suspended by a spring is: = where m is the mass and k is the spring constant.For a given mass, stiffening the system (increasing ) increases its natural frequency, which is a general characteristic of vibrating mechanical systems.
