Free Response Part 2 Spring-mass systems with damping

Intro to Vibrations

This module continues with the concepts covered in Part 1 and introduces the concept of viscous damping. The three different types of motion (under, over and critically damped motion) that result due to viscous damping are discussed. Numerical examples, interactive plots, and steps to create MapleSim simulations are included to enhance the learning experience.

Keywords & Topics:
Viscous damping, decaying motion, damped frequency, damping ratio, under-damped motion, over-damped motion, critically-damped motion
Main Topic: Intro to Vibrations
