In other words, it represents the ability of the system to maintain its oscillations without losing energy. The concept of quality factor was first introduced in the field of electrical engineering, specifically in the study of resonant circuits. It has since been applied to various other systems...
Examples of free vibrations are oscillations of a simple pendulum in air free medium. The explanation for forced vibration Forced vibration is the term used to describe when an external periodic force causes a body to vibrate. Here, the system is given external energy, which causes the vibrat...
While go through the topic vibrations in longitudinal and transverse beam in Civil Engineering, I came across a term 'Damping'. I want to know what is damping, how the damping factor is defined. Please explain with some suitable examples. ...
This undamped system is subjected to a harmonic driving force of frequency 17.0 Hz which results in the forced motion of the oscillator. The amplitude of the oscillations iA coiled Hookean spring is stretched 10...
