OBJECTIVE
f k =k x
And,
f b=b v
Are external forces associated with the element. Moreover, when the system
is under-damped, 0 < < 1. Such a response is sinusoidal.
The differential equation of the system in terms of the displacement is:

PROCEDURE
1) Connect the experiment rig to the power supply while keeping it off, along
with the DSO.
2) Disconnect the lead from the red input terminal on the DSO. Adjust the
settings on the DSO to obtain an optimal trace.
3) Reconnect the lead to the red input terminal on the DSO and turn on the
power supply. Adjust for any bias in the trace using the zero-trim control to
get DC output to 0V.

1. Calculate the damping ratio using P.O equation as well as the logarithmic
decrement for the three under-damped plots which you obtained. In each
case compare the results obtained from the two methods and discuss any
differences.

other words, the system oscillates more for b min. In addition, both results are
similar. The difference between both values for all three cases may be due to
the force applied in each case where the x 0 value may not have been
accurate since it was done manually. Moreover, in three cases, a clear
exponentially decaying sinusoid was observed for the under-damped
responses.

acceptable range. Just the fully opened situation received a much higher error
percentage than the partially opened situations.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the objective of the lab was met. This under-damped
mass-spring-damper system was studied and a damping ratio from such a
response was obtained experimentally. As the valve was turned
counterclockwise (opened), the system had a minimum value for damping
due to the intrinsic damping bmin. In addition, from
b
2 km
observe that the damping value and the intrinsic damping b min are
proportional. The graphs obtained also clearly showed a longer oscillation
period until the sinusoid reached its steady state. As the damping ratio
increased, the system reached a faster steady state.
From the appendix we can see that as we open the valve (we increase
the number of turn from closed position), the number of oscillation of the disk
increased to reach the equilibrium position. As we open the valve we are
decreasing the damping coefficient allowing the system to come to rest
naturally. This is shown in the simulation where it keeps oscillating even very
close to its equilibrium position. If the damping coefficient were to increase
the oscillation would stop much quicker near the equilibrium position.
Finally, from the simulated oscillation, we can conclude that the
experiment went according the theory.
