Basic Calculations:: Equation of Motion

The document describes a MatLAB test for a basic single degree of freedom system. It provides the equation of motion for an undamped spring-mass system and defines the parameters used. These include a damping ratio of 0.1, mass of 1 kg, spring constant of 100 N/m, initial displacement of 0.02 m, and initial velocity of 0 m/s. It then calculates the natural frequency, damping frequency, and damping period. The response equation for the underdamped system is given. The MatLAB script defines the parameters, calculates the response over 5 cycles using a for loop, and plots the vertical displacement versus time graph.

Test 1 MatLAB

Course: MEC521
Name: AZHAR BIN BAHARUDDIN
Student ID: 2012455876
Group: EMD5M3A

Basic Calculations:

Equation of Motion:

+ + = 0

Where;

Equivalent mass, =
Equivalent damping constant, =
Equivalent spring constant, =

Initial/Known data:

Damping ratio, = 0.1


Mass, = 1
Spring constant, = 100 /
Initial displacement, 0 = 0.02
Initial velocity, 0 = 0 /

Calculated data:

100
Natural frequency, = = = = 10 /
1

Damping frequency, = 1 2 = 101 0.12 = 9.95 /


2 2
Damping period, = = 9.95 = 0.63

Time taken to complete 5 cycles; 5 = 5 = 5 0.63 = 3.16

Response equation:

Since the damping ratio is 0.1, the system is considered as underdamped. Therefore, the response
equation (after inserting all the related data) is:

() = (. . + . . )
