  2. Damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping

    It corresponds to the underdamped case of damped second-order systems, or underdamped second-order differential equations. [6] Damped sine waves are commonly seen in science and engineering, wherever a harmonic oscillator is losing energy faster than it is being supplied. A true sine wave starting at time = 0 begins at the origin (amplitude = 0).

  3. 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.

  4. Transient response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_response

    Damped oscillation is a typical transient response, where the output value oscillates until finally reaching a steady-state value. In electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, a transient response is the response of a system to a change from an equilibrium or a steady state. The transient response is not necessarily tied to abrupt ...

  5. Duffing equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duffing_equation

    The Duffing equation (or Duffing oscillator), named after Georg Duffing (1861–1944), is a non-linear second-order differential equation used to model certain damped and driven oscillators. The equation is given by ¨ + ˙ + + = ⁡ (), where the (unknown) function = is the displacement at time t, ˙ is the first derivative of with respect to ...

  6. Phase portrait - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_portrait

    Phase portrait of damped oscillator, with increasing damping strength. The equation of motion is x ¨ + 2 γ x ˙ + ω 2 x = 0. {\displaystyle {\ddot {x}}+2\gamma {\dot {x}}+\omega ^{2}x=0.} In mathematics , a phase portrait is a geometric representation of the orbits of a dynamical system in the phase plane .

    Phase portrait of damped oscillator, with increasing damping strength. The equation of motion is x ¨ + 2 γ x ˙ + ω 2 x = 0. {\displaystyle {\ddot {x}}+2\gamma {\dot {x}}+\omega ^{2}x=0.} In mathematics , a phase portrait is a geometric representation of the orbits of a dynamical system in the phase plane .

  8. Complex harmonic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_harmonic_motion

    Analysis of damped oscillatory forces in swimming a diagram of three types of damped harmonic motion. Damped harmonic motion is a real oscillation, in which an object is hanging on a spring. Because of the existence of internal friction and air resistance, the system will over time experience a decrease in amplitude.

  9. Van der Pol oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Pol_oscillator

    Near the origin = =, the system is unstable, and far from the origin, the system is damped. The Van der Pol oscillator does not have an exact, analytic solution. [ 13 ] However, such a solution does exist for the limit cycle if f ( x ) in the Lienard equation is a constant piece-wise function.
