Frequency ω of a forced mass-spring-dashpot system, you need to maximize the amplitude of the steady periodic forced oscillations C(ω). This occurs when the denominator of the amplitude equation is minimized. By taking the derivative of the denominator with respect to ω and setting it equal to zero,
The practical resonance frequency ω. The equation for the amplitude of steady periodic forced oscillations C(ω) is given by:
C(ω) = F0/√((k - mω²)² + (cω)²)
Where:
- F0 is the amplitude of the driving force.
- m is the mass of the system.
- c is the damping coefficient (dashpot).
- k is the spring constant.
- ω is the angular frequency of the external force.
The practical resonance frequency ω, you need to maximize the amplitude C(ω).
This occurs when the denominator is minimized since C(ω) is inversely proportional to the denominator.
The minimum of the denominator D(ω), you can take the derivative of D(ω) with respect to ω and set it equal to zero:
dD/dω = 0
Therefore, the amplitude C(ω) is maximized, representing the practical resonance frequency.
