Each slice is represented by an equivalent mass-spring system that consists of a mass, a spring and a dashpot connecting the mass to the base rock. The neighboring masses are then connected to each other along the tunnel axis by springs and dashpots to simulate the connection between the ...
The ordinary differential equation governing the vibration of a spring, dashpot and mass system shown in Fig. 1 takes the formmd2xdt2=−Fs−Fd+F,where x is the displacement with respect to the equilibrium position, m is the mass, F denotes the external force, and Fs and Fd denote th...
Tags Amplitude Damped Mass-spring system System In summary, the conversation discusses finding the curve of the amplitude of oscillations for a damped spring with the given initial value problem. The general solution is a combination of a cosine and sine term, and the technique for finding the ...
Suppose we have a mass-spring-dashpot system with corresponding differential equation x'' + 5x' + 10.25x = 2e^{-2.5t} \sin^2(t) , where x(t) is the displacement of the mass from its equilibrium p An object of...
Direct lumping gives an obvious way to account fornonstructural massesin simple discrete models of the spring-dashpot-point-mass variety. For example, in a multistory building “stick model” wherein each floor is treated as one DOF in lateral sway under earthquake or wind action, it is natur...
The relationship between the weight of mass M and the static deflection of the spring can be calculated using the equation: W = KXi. If the spring is displaced downward some distance, X0, from Xi and released, it will oscillate up and down. The force from the spring, Fs, can be writ...
