SPECIFICATION

  • Demonstrations may be carried out to illustrate free and damped vibrations of a simple spring mass system having one degree of freedom and the response of a second order mechanical system to a step input.
  • The main structure of the unit is a rigid frame, made of steel and aluminum, with two vertical guides, an upper mounting plate for the spring and a lower mounting plate for the damper.
  • This rigid frame supports the different elements of the unit.
  • Experiments can be carried out by the students to investigate the relationship between the mass of the body, the stiffness of the spring and the period frequency of oscillation and to observe the effect of viscous damping on the system.
