Question

Using MATLAB:

The following ODE models a spring with friction and forcing:

y'' + y' + 2y = sin(0t)

a) (role of friction in spring-mass system) Use the parameters below:

(i) (Over damped) Make a plot (WITH labels) of (y vs t) with = 5 and = 2.5 (same plot). What's going physically?

(ii) (Critically Damped) Make a plot using = 2.0. Change the initial data - can the graph cross the x-axis more than once? - can you prove your result?

(iii) (Under Damped) Make a plot using = 0.4. What is happening here?

b) (no friction and resonance) use the parameters below:

(i) Make plots of y vs t with 2 = 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.9, 0.99...

(ii) Describe the behavior of the plots as 2 approaches 1. Increase T if you have to in order to see what is going on.

Parameter Value 1 0 0 T 20 dt 0.1 y(0) 0.2 y'(0) -0.5

Explanation / Answer

Solution i):

W=1;

Wo=0;

T=20;

myoutput=[ y(2); sin(Wo*t)-2*W*y(2) - 5*y(1) ];

time=[0; 20];

initial=[0.2 ; 0.5];

[t , y]=ode45(myoutput,time,initial);

plot(t,y(:,1);

% Amplitude first Increases drastically then attain equilibrium .
