Problem 1. If you have a spring-mass-damper system that is harmonically excited, its equation of motion will be in the form:
mx+cx+kx=F0cos(t)
We found out that the force transmissibility (force transmitted into the support of the system relative to the input force) can be written as:
FTF0=1+(2r)2(1-r2)2+(2r)22
Use the MATLAB file titled 'AmplitudeBodePlot_HarmonicExcitation.mlx' as a starting point to plot the force transmissibility (FTF0) vs normalized frequency (r) :
a. Plot force transmissibility (FTF0) vs normalized frequency (r) in linear scale.
b. force transmissibility (FTF0) in dB vs normalized frequency (r)(use log scale for r).
For both problems above:
Draw the response for =0.01,0.05,0.1,0.3,0.8 and for a range of r from 0.01 to 10 with a step size of 0.01.{These values are already used in the code. You don't have to change them
Label your axes properly.
Title your figures.
Draw grids on each figure.
Add a figure legend to mark each value.
List your observations related to your force transmissibility (FTF0) vs normalized frequency (r).
What happens at low r and why?
What happens at large r and why?
What happens at r~~1 and why?
What happens as increases and why?
Suppose that you want to design a system that isolates a sensitive device from harmonic forces. You would like your system to have as low force transmissibility as when exposed to a harmonic force with a particular frequency . How do you choose n and for your system based on your observations in part (2)?
