Lecture 1 - Background from 1A Revision of key concepts with application to driven oscillators: • Aims: • Review of complex numbers: • Addition; • Multiplication. • Revision of oscillator dynamics: • Free oscillator - damping regimes; • Driven oscillator - resonance. • Concept of impedance. • Superposed vibrations.
Complex representation • Complex nos. and the Argand diagram: • Use complex number A, where the real part represents the physical quantity.Amplitude PhaseAmplitude follows from:Phase follows from: • Harmonic oscillation:
Manipulation of Complex Nos. I • Addition • The real part of the sum is the sum of the real parts.
Manipulation of Complex Nos. II • Multiplication • WARNING:One cannot simply multiply the two complex numbers. • Example (i): To calculate (velocity)2 .Take velocity v = Voeiwt with Vo real.Instantaneous value:Mean value: • Example (ii). Power, (Force . Velocity).Take f = Foei(wt+f) with Fo real. Instantaneous value:Mean value:
The damped oscillator • Equation of motion • Rearranging gives • Two independent solutions of the form x=Aept. Substitution gives the two values of p, (i.e. p1, p2), from roots of quadratic: • General solution to [1.2] Restoring force Dissipation (damping) Natural resonant frequency
Damping régimes • Heavy damping • Sum of decaying exponentials. • Critical damping • Swiftest return to equilibrium. • Light damping • Damped vibration.
Driven Oscillator • Oscillatory applied force (frequency w): • Force: • Equation of motion:Use complex variable, z, to describe displacement: i.e. • Steady state solution MUST be an oscillation at frequency w. So • A gives the magnitude and phase of the “displacement response”. Substitute z into [1.3] to get • The “velocity response” is
Impedance • Mechanical impedance • Note, the velocity response is proportional to the driving force, i.e. Force =constant(complex) x velocity • Z = force applied / velocity response • In general it is complex and, evidently, frequency dependent. • Electrical impedance • Z=applied voltage/current response • Example, series electrical circuit:We can write the mechanical impedance in a similar form: Mechanical impedance
