2Oscillations
- Oscillations (motions that repeat themselves) are
everywhere - A child on a swing
- A violin string being played
- The orbit of the moon around the earth
- Our ability to hear depends on oscillations as
does our sense of sight temperature
3Oscillations
- We will study simple harmonic motion the
underpinnings of all kinds of oscillations and
then look at some examples that should be
familiar to us - Then we will look at a more realistic example of
what happens in the real world damped simple
harmonic motion
4Oscillations
- Finally, we will briefly examine the concept of
forced oscillations and resonance
5Simple Harmonic Motion
- Here we can see that a particle is moving back
and forth around a central point as time marches
on (down in this case) - The particle is moving continuously we are
seeing are snapshots of its position at various
times
6Simple Harmonic Motion
- The particle is oscillating and the frequency (f)
is the number of oscillations the particle makes
in one second - Note that the particle has returned to its
starting position at xm in time T
7Simple Harmonic Motion
- The SI unit for frequency is the hertz (Hz) and
is defined as one oscillation per second - Related to the frequency is the period (T) of the
oscillation this is how long it takes to
complete one oscillation - So the relationship between period and frequency
is
8Simple Harmonic Motion
- Since the motion is repeating itself
periodically, it is called periodic motion or
harmonic motion - In this chapter we will be studying motion where
the displacement of an object as a function of
time is denoted by
9Simple Harmonic Motion
- When the displacement of an object as a function
of time can be given by this formulait is
called simple harmonic motion
10Simple Harmonic Motion
- Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is when the motion
of an object is a sinusoidal function of time as
is shown below - In this case the sinusoid is described by the
cosine function
11Simple Harmonic Motion
- Lets look at our equation a bit more
- The factors xm, ? and ? are all constants
- xm is the amplitude of the oscillation
- The time varying quantity (?t ?) is called the
phase of the motion and ? is called the phase
constant or phase angle
12Simple Harmonic Motion
- Finally, lets look at the last constant in our
equation - The constant ? is called the angular frequency of
the motion
13Simple Harmonic Motion
- Lets let ? 0 in the following discussion
- We can then see from our equationthat x(0)
xm - And given our definition of the period T, it
should be obvious that x(tT) has the same result
as x(t) for all t
14Simple Harmonic Motion
- The cosine function repeats itself when its
argument (the phase) has increased by the value
2p - so we can say that
15Simple Harmonic Motion
- So lets see what happens when we hold two of the
parameters in the equationconstant and vary
the remaining one - We will begin by varying xm
16Simple Harmonic Motion
- We can see that the curves look identical except
that one is taller than the other - These two curves have a different maximum
displacement or amplitude
17Simple Harmonic Motion
- Now lets vary the period (or frequency) of the
motion we do this by adjusting the value ? - In this case we let T T/2
18Simple Harmonic Motion
- Finally, we hold both xm and ? constant and vary
the phase angle ? - Here we can see that the 2nd curve has slid
over by a constant amount relative to the 1st
curve
19Checkpoint 1
- A particle undergoing SHM of period T is at xm
at t 0 (similar to what you see at the right..) - Is it at xm, xm, at 0, between xm and 0, or
between 0 and xm when at - t 2.00T
- t 3.5T
- t 5.25T
20The Velocity of SHM
- We know that the displacement of a particle
exhibiting SHM is - To get the velocity of the particle we then
simply differentiate the displacement function
21The Velocity of SHM
22The Velocity of SHM
- The displacement and velocity functions are
plotted here for comparison - Note the maximum magnitude of the velocity
function is ?xm
23The Velocity of SHM
- Note also that the velocity is now a sine
function which means that it is one-quarter
period out of phase with the displacement function
24The Acceleration of SHM
- Now lets differentiate once again to get the
acceleration functionwhich gives us
25- Now we see all three functions
- The acceleration function is one-half period (or
p radians) out of phase with the displacement and
the maximum magnitude of the acceleration is ?2xm
26The Acceleration of SHM
- We can combine our original equation for the
displacement function and our equation for the
acceleration function to get
27The Acceleration of SHM
- This relationship of the acceleration being
proportional but opposite in sign to the
displacement is the hallmark of SHM - Specifically, the constant of proportionality is
the square of the angular frequency
28- So we can see that when the displacement is at a
maximum, the acceleration is also at a maximum
(but opposite in sign) - And when the displacement and acceleration are at
a maximum, the velocity is zero
29- Similarly, when the displacement is zero, the
velocity is at a maximum - Does this remind you of anything you have seen
previously?
30The Force Law for SHM
- Since we now have an equation for the
acceleration a particle feels when in SHM, lets
now apply that to Newtons 2nd law
31The Force Law for SHM
- Since we now have an equation for the
acceleration a particle feels when in SHM, lets
now apply that to Newtons 2nd law - If we call the term in parens k, we then get the
familiar equation for Hookes law
32The Force Law for SHM
- So we can also say that SHM is defined as when a
particle of mass m experiences a force that is
proportional to the displacement of the particle,
but opposite in sign
33The Force Law for SHM
- The block-spring system shown here is a classic
linear simple harmonic oscillator where linear
means that the force F is proportional to the
displacement x rather than to some other power of
x
34The Force Law for SHM
- The angular frequency ? and period T are
therefore related to the spring constant k by the
formulas
35Checkpoint 2
- Which of these relationships implies SHM?
- F -5x
- F -400x2
- F 10x
- F 3x2
36Sample Problem 15-2
- At t 0 the displacement x(0) of the block is
-8.50 cm, the velocity is v(0) -0.920 m/s and
its acceleration is a(0) 47.0 m/s - What are the values for ?, xm and ??
37Sample Problem 15-2
- We know that, at t 0, we have
- Unfortunately, we dont know either xm or ?
38Sample Problem 15-2
- But we do have a relationship between the
acceleration and displacement functions that we
can exploitWe can rearrange this to get
39Sample Problem 15-2
- Plugging in our known values of x(0) and a(0) we
get
40Sample Problem 15-2
- Now that we know ?, we can solve for ? in a
similar way - In this case we use the displacement and velocity
functions
41Sample Problem 15-2
- Plugging in the values we get
42Sample Problem 15-2
- This will in fact give us two solutions for ? (a
calculator will typically only show the first
one) - We determine which is the correct solution by
using the value of ? to determine the value of xm
43Sample Problem 15-2
- Taking our equation for the displacement and
rearranging it a bit we get
44Sample Problem 15-2
- We know from our force equation F -kx that k
must be a positive constant - Therefore the correct solution for the phase
angle ? must be 155º and xm must therefore be
0.094 m or 9.4 cm
45Energy in SHM
- We already know from our work in Chapter 8 on
Potential Energy and Conservation of Energy that
kinetic and potential energy get transferred back
and forth as a linear oscillator moves - Remember also that the total mechanical energy E
remains constant
46Energy in SHM
- Well now look at this again in light of our new
knowledge of SHM - We know from Chapter 8 that the formula for
elastic potential energy isand we now know
the form that the function x(t) takes
47Energy in SHM
- So combining the two equations we getwhere
we note that cos2 (A) is the same as (cos A)2 and
not cos (A2)
48Energy in SHM
- Now lets look at the potential energy which we
know is - Using the velocity function and also making a
substitution of ?2 k/m we get
49Energy in SHM
- Finally, the mechanical energy iswhich gives
us
50Energy in SHM
- For any angle a, it is true that
- So we finally getwhich tells us that the
total energy of a linear oscillator is constant
and independent of time
51Energy in SHM
- So any oscillating system contains an element of
springiness (which stores the potential energy)
and an element of inertia (which stores the
kinetic energy) even if the system is not
mechanical in nature - The element of springiness in an electrical
system is the capacitor and the element of
inertia is a choke (a.k.a. a coil)
52Checkpoint 3
- In the figure the block has a kinetic energy of 3
J and the spring has an elastic potential energy
of 2 J when the block is at x 2.0 cm - (a) What is the KE when the block is at x 0?
- What are the elastic potential energies when the
block is at (b) x -2.0 cm and (c) x -xm?
53An AngularSimple Harmonic Oscillator
- The figure shows an angular version of a simple
harmonic oscillator - In this case the mass rotates around its center
point and twists the suspending wire - This is called a torsion pendulum with torsion
referring to the twisting motion
54An AngularSimple Harmonic Oscillator
- If the disk is rotated through an angle (in
either direction) of ?, the restoring force is
given by the equation
55An AngularSimple Harmonic Oscillator
- Comparing this equationto the standard
Hookes law equationleads one to suspect that
a torsion pendulum follows the same rules where t
has replaced F, ? has replaced k, and ? has
replaced x
56An AngularSimple Harmonic Oscillator
- And similarly, we can surmise that the period of
the torsion pendulum will bewhere ? has
replaced k, and I (the moment of inertia of the
rotating bob) has replaced its counterpart the
mass m
57Pendulums
- When we were discussing the energy in a simple
harmonic system, we talked about the
springiness of the system as storing the
potential energy - But when we talk about a regular pendulum there
is nothing springy so where is the potential
energy stored?
58The Simple Pendulum
- As we have already seen, the potential energy in
a simple pendulum is stored in raising the bob up
against the gravitational force - The pendulum bob is clearly oscillating as it
moves back and forth but is it exhibiting SHM?
59The Simple Pendulum
- Lets look at the free-body diagram of the
pendulum - The tension in the string (of length L) must be
counterbalanced by the force of gravity acting on
the bob (of mass m)
60The Simple Pendulum
- The gravitational force is resolved into two
components one along the string (Fg cos ?) and
the other tangential to the path of the bob (Fg
sin ?) - We can see that the tangential component is
acting as a restoring force it works against
any displacement of the bob
61The Simple Pendulum
- Going back to our definition of torque, we can
see that the restoring force is producing a
torque around the pivot point ofwhere L is
the moment arm of the applied force
62The Simple Pendulum
- If we substitute t Ia, we get
- This doesnt appear too promising until we make
the following assumption that ? is small - If ? is small we can use the approximation
thatsin ? ? ? (as long as we remember to express
? in radians)
63The Simple Pendulum
- Making the substitution we then getwhich we
can then rearrange to getwhich is the
angular equivalent to a -?2x
64The Simple Pendulum
- So, we can reasonably say that the motion of a
pendulum is approximately SHM if the maximum
angular amplitude is small - The period of a pendulum is given bywhere I
is the moment of inertia of the pendulum
65The Simple Pendulum
- If all of the mass of the pendulum is
concentrated in the bob, then I mL2 and we get
66The Physical Pendulum
- Now suppose that the mass is not all concentrated
in the bob? - In this case the equations are exactly the same,
but the restoring force acts through the center
of mass of the body (C in the diagram) which is a
distance h from the pivot point
67The Physical Pendulum
- So we go back to our previous equation for the
period and replace L with h to get
68The Physical Pendulum
- The other difference in this case is that the
rotational inertia will not be a simple I mL2
but rather something more complicated which will
depend on the shape of the body
69The Physical Pendulum
- For any physical pendulum that oscillates around
a point O with period T, there is a simple
pendulum of length L0 which oscillates with the
same period - The point on the physical pendulum a distance L0
from O is called the center of oscillation
70Measuring g
- The equation for the period of a physical
pendulum gives us a very nice and neat
relationship between T, I and g - We can exploit that relationship to allow us to
precisely measure g
71Measuring g
- Suppose we have a uniform rod of length L which
we allow to rotate from one end as shown - Using the parallel axis theorem, we can calculate
the moment of inertia to be I mL2/3 - We also know that h (the distance to the center
of mass) will be L/2
72Measuring g
- Making those substitutions, we get
73Measuring g
- Solving for g we getwhich allows us to find
g if we can precisely measure L and T
74Sample Problem 15-5
- A 1 meter stick swings about a pivot point at one
end at a distance h from its center of mass - What is the period of oscillation?
75Sample Problem 15-5
- The stick is clearly not a simple pendulum so we
use the formula for the period of a physical
pendulum - From the previous discussion, we know that the
moment of inertia for a stick rotated around one
end is I mL2/3
76Sample Problem 15-5
- We also know that h L/2, so plugging those
values in we get
77Sample Problem 15-5
- What is the distance L0 between the pivot point
of the stick and the center of oscillation of the
stick?
78Sample Problem 15-5
- Here we use the relationship
- By inspection we can see that L0 2L/3 66.7 cm
which is marked as P
79Checkpoint 4
- Three physical pendulums, of masses m0, 2m0 and
3m0 have the same shape and size and suspended
from the same point - Rank the masses according to the periods of the
pendulums, greatest period first
80Simple Harmonic Motion Uniform Circular Motion
- At the right we have a plot of data recorded by
Galileo of an object (the moon Callisto) that
moved back and forth relative to the disk of
Jupiter
81Simple Harmonic Motion Uniform Circular Motion
- The circles are Galileos data points and the
curve is a best fit to that data - This would strongly suggest that Callisto
exhibits SHM
82Simple Harmonic Motion Uniform Circular Motion
- But in fact Callisto is moving with pretty much a
constant speed in a nearly circular orbit about
Jupiter - So what is it that we are seeing in the data?
83Simple Harmonic Motion Uniform Circular Motion
- What Gallileo saw and what the data tells us
is that SHM is the projection of uniform circular
motion in the plane of the motion - In other words, SHM is uniform circular motion
viewed edge-on - More formally SHM is the projection of uniform
circular motion on a diameter of the circle in
which the latter motion takes place
84Simple Harmonic Motion Uniform Circular Motion
- We have at the right a reference circle the
particle at point P is moving on that circle at
a constant angular speed ? - The radius of our reference circle is xm
- Finally, the projection of the position of P
onto the x axis is the point P
85Simple Harmonic Motion Uniform Circular Motion
- We can easily see that the position of the
projection point P is given by the
formulawhich is the formula for the
displacement of an object exhibiting SHM
86Simple Harmonic Motion Uniform Circular Motion
- Similarly, if we look at the velocity of our
particle (and use the relationshipv ?r) we can
see that it obeys
87Simple Harmonic Motion Uniform Circular Motion
- And finally, if we look at the acceleration of
our particle (and use the relationship ar ?2r)
we can see that it obeys
- So regardless of whether we look at displacement,
velocity or acceleration, we see that the
projection of uniform circular motion does indeed
obey the rules of SHM
88Damped SHM
- So far we have been examining SHM with the
implicit and rather unrealistic assumption
that there is no friction involved - However friction is inherent in pretty much any
real-world system and so we should examine the
effect that it has on SHM
89Damped SHM
- Lets look at an idealized model of our (now more
realistic) view of the world - Here we have a mass suspended from a spring which
is in turn suspended from a rigid support - We would expect this system to exhibit SHM in the
vertical direction
90Damped SHM
- Now to add realism (friction) we introduce a vane
which is submerged in a liquid - As the vane moves up and down the liquid exerts a
damping force that is proportional to the
velocity of the vane (and block)
91Damped SHM
- The resistive force can therefore by expressed in
the form Fd -bv where b is a damping constant
that depends on the characteristics of both the
vane and the liquid
92Damped SHM
- We know from Hookes law that the relationship
between the force F applied to an object and the
objects displacement x is given by F -kx - Furthermore, we know from Newtons 2nd law that F
ma
93Damped SHM
- And we now also have a resistive force of the
form Fd -bv involved - Putting all of this together (and ignoring the
effects of gravity) we get
94Damped SHM
95Damped SHM
- This equationis a second-order, linear,
homogeneous differential equation
96Damped SHM
- The solution to the previous equation is
97Damped SHM
- Now lets look at the other factor in our
solution - At t 0, we can see this function has a value of
1 - Furthermore, we can also see that as t ? ?, the
value of the function asymptotically approaches
zero - We can also see that the rate at which this
function approaches zero is determined by the
damping constant b and the mass of the object m
98Damped SHM
- Taken together, what we have is a SHM oscillator
whose amplitude gradually decreases over time
99Damped SHM
- Because friction is present, the energy of this
damped oscillator is not constant - If the damping constant b is small, we find that
the energy of the oscillator over time is given
by
100Checkpoint 5
- Below are 3 sets of values for the spring
constant, damping constant and mass for a damped
oscillator - Rank them according to the time required for the
mechanical energy to decrease to ¼ of its initial
value, greatest first
101Forced Oscillations Resonance
- An oscillator that has been set in motion and
then left alone is exhibiting what is known as
free oscillation - An example of this is a child in a swing who was
given an initial push but then no additional
pushes
102Forced Oscillations Resonance
- The converse situation when someone continues
to push the swing periodically is called a
forced, or driven oscillation - We wont go into the details of driven
oscillations other than to note that there are
two frequencies involved the natural angular
frequency (?) of the oscillator (when undriven)
and the angular frequency (?d) of the driving
force
103Forced Oscillations Resonance
- Going back to this diagram, imagine that the
structure marked rigid support was in fact
moving up and down with some constant angular
frequency ?d
104Forced Oscillations Resonance
- Ignoring the initial transients, the system will
eventually oscillate at the driven frequency ?d
as given by the equationwhere xm is the
amplitude of the oscillation
105Forced Oscillations Resonance
- However, the value xm is not the same as the
amplitude would be in an undriven system - Instead the value of the displacement amplitude
is a complicated function which involves both the
natural frequency (?) of the oscillator as well
as the driving frequency (?d)
106Forced Oscillations Resonance
- Lets go back to the example of the swing
- If you gave it a push only very occasionally you
would not expect the average amplitude of the
swing to be very much
107Forced Oscillations Resonance
- Now imagine the other case suppose you gave it
a push very frequently - In this case you should be able to see that
sometimes your push would be in the direction of
the swings motion and so would help it along - On the other hand, about half the time the
converse would be true your pushes would be
working against the direction of travel of the
swing and would tend to slow it down
108Forced Oscillations Resonance
- Now imagine that you push the swing at a
frequency that closely matches the natural
frequency of the swing - In this case your pushes would reinforce the
motion of the swing and should increase the
amplitude of its oscillations - So you would expect that the greatest amplitude
from a driven oscillator would be at the natural
frequency of the oscillator
109Forced Oscillations Resonance
- And that would be true if there werent any
damping, but we are assuming there is so its a
little more complicated - But as it turns out, the maximum amplitude of a
driven, damped oscillator occurs when the driving
frequency is very close to the natural frequency
of the oscillator
110Forced Oscillations Resonance
- The figure at the right shows the relationship
called a resonance peak - The x axis is the ratio ?d/? and the y axis is
the amplitude of the oscillations
111Forced Oscillations Resonance
- You can see that the peak occurs at a little less
than ?d/? 1
112Forced Oscillations Resonance
- More importantly, you can see that the height and
breadth of the peak depends on the damping
constant b the higher the value of the
constant, the lower and broader is the peak
113Forced Oscillations Resonance
- All mechanical structures have resonance
frequencies and if the structure is driven at a
frequency near to a resonance frequency, the
structure may begin to oscillate uncontrollably - This was very ably demonstrated years ago by Ella
Fitzgerald in a series of TV commercials for
Memorex audio tape
114Forced Oscillations Resonance
- And as a final illustration of this phenomena, I
will leave you with a short video of the Tacoma
Narrows bridge - Bridge video 1
