Project
Spring-damper mechanical system
Project statement
Design an experimental setup to investigate the dynamic characteristics of a Second Order
Mechanical System.
Objective
1) Find the best possible arrangement of the spring damper system so it produces the least
amount of frequency and hence the number of oscillations.
2) Determine damped and undamped natural frequencies
3) Use those in the equation to determine spring and damper constants.
4) Compare the theoretical values to the experimental values to find the accuracy of the best
combination.
Function decomposition helps define a system in terms of its functions before it can complete the
physical design.
