MATLAB sessions: Laboratory 5 MAT 275 Laboratory 5 The Mass-Spring System In this laboratory we will examine harmonic oscillation. We will model the motion of a mass-spring system with differential equations. Our objectives are as follows: 1. Determine the effect of parameters on the solutions of differential equations. 2.

Determine the behavior of the mass-spring system from the graph of the solution. 3. Determine the effect of the parameters on the behavior of the mass-spring. The primary MATLAB command used is the ode45 function. Mass-Spring System without Damping The motion of a mass suspended to a vertical spring can be described as follows.

When the spring is not loaded it has length ℓ0 (situation (a)). When a mass m is attached to its lower end it has length ℓ (situation (b)). From the first principle of mechanics we then obtain mg︸︷︷︸ downward weight force + −k(ℓ − ℓ0)︸ ︷︷ ︸ upward tension force = 0. (L5.1) The term g measures the gravitational acceleration (g ≃ 9.8m/s2 ≃ 32ft/s2). The quantity k is a spring constant measuring its stiffness. We now pull downwards on the mass by an amount y and let the mass go (situation (c)).

We expect the mass to oscillate around the position y = 0. The second principle of mechanics yields mg︸︷︷︸ weight + −k(â„“ + y − â„“0)︸ ︷︷ ︸ upward tension force = m d2(â„“ + y) dt2︸ ︷︷ ︸ acceleration of mass , i.e., m d2y dt2 + ky = 0 (L5.2) using (L5.1). This ODE is second-order. (a) (b) (c) (d) y â„“ â„“0 m k γ Equation (L5.2) is rewritten d2y dt2 + ω20y = 0 (L5.3) câƒ2011 Stefania Tracogna, SoMSS, ASU MATLAB sessions: Laboratory 5 where ω20 = k/m. Equation (L5.3) models simple harmonic motion. A numerical solution with ini- tial conditions y(0) = 0.1 meter and y′(0) = 0 (i.e., the mass is initially stretched downward 10cms and released, see setting (c) in figure) is obtained by first reducing the ODE to first-order ODEs (see Laboratory 4).

Let v = y′. Then v′ = y′′ = −ω20y = −4y. Also v(0) = y′(0) = 0. The following MATLAB program implements the problem (with ω0 = 2). function LAB05ex1 m = 1; % mass [kg] k = 4; % spring constant [N/m] omega0 = sqrt(k/m); y0 = 0.1; v0 = 0; % initial conditions [t,Y] = ode45(@f,[0,10],[y0,v0],[],omega0); % solve for 0<t<10 y = Y(:,1); v = Y(:,2); % retrieve y, v from Y figure(1); plot(t,y,’b+-’,t,v,’ro-’); % time series for y and v grid on; %----------------------------------------- function dYdt = f(t,Y,omega0) y = Y(1); v = Y(2); dYdt = [ v ; -omega0^2*y ]; Note that the parameter ω0 was passed as an argument to ode45 rather than set to its value ω0 = 2 directly in the function f.

The advantage is that its value can easily be changed in the driver part of the program rather than in the function, for example when multiple plots with different values of ω0 need to be compared in a single MATLAB figure window. −0.2 −0.15 −0.1 −0...1 0..2 Figure L5a: Harmonic motion 1.

Answer this question first graphically (by reading the period from the graph) and then analytically (by finding the period using ω0). (c) We say that the mass comes to rest if, after a certain time, the position of the mass remains within an arbitrary small distance from the equilibrium position.

Mass-Spring System with Damping When the movement of the mass is damped due to viscous effects (e.g., the mass moves in a cylinder containing oil, situation (d)), an additional term proportional to the velocity must be added.

Mass-Spring System Analysis Using MATLAB

Introduction

In this laboratory session, we will study the mechanics of a mass-spring system through simulation in MATLAB. The aim is to explore harmonic motion under varying conditions, analyze system behavior graphically, and investigate the effects of parameters on the mass-spring dynamics. We will also address quantitative relationships between system properties, highlighting their physical implications.

Part 1: Mass-Spring System Without Damping

The motion of a mass on a spring is characterized by Hooke's Law, which states that the force exerted by a spring is proportional to the displacement from its equilibrium position. When represented mathematically, we can derive the motion from the force balances acting on the system, leading to the following second-order ordinary differential equation (ODE):
\[
m \frac{d^2y}{dt^2} + k y = 0
\]
This can be normalized to:
\[
\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} + \omega_0^2y = 0 \quad \text{where } \omega_0^2 = \frac{k}{m}
\]

MATLAB Implementation

To solve the above ODE numerically, we will implement the following MATLAB script using the `ode45` function, which is ideal for solving ODEs.
```matlab
function LAB05ex1
m = 1; % mass [kg]
k = 4; % spring constant [N/m]
omega0 = sqrt(k/m);
y0 = 0.1;
v0 = 0; % initial conditions
[t,Y] = ode45(@f, [0,10], [y0,v0], [], omega0); % solve for 0 y = Y(:,1);
v = Y(:,2); % retrieve y, v from Y
figure(1);
plot(t,y,’b+-’,t,v,’ro-’); % time series for y and v
grid on;
function dYdt = f(t,Y,omega0)
y = Y(1);
v = Y(2);
dYdt = [v; -omega0^2*y];
end
end
```

Results and Analysis

1. Graph Interpretation:
- (a) The blue curve represents \(y(t)\) as it describes the displacement of the mass from its equilibrium position. The red curve represents \(v(t)\), the velocity.
- (b) The period of the motion can be derived from the equation \(T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega_0}\). Given \(\omega_0 = 2\) (as it is derived from \(k=4\) and \(m=1\)), we find \(T = \pi\) (approximately 3.14 seconds). Graphically, we can verify this by identifying the time interval from one peak to the next on the displacement curve.
- (c) The mass never comes to rest due to perpetual oscillation in an ideal mass-spring system without damping.
- (d) The amplitude of oscillation is equal to the initial displacement, which is \(0.1\) m.
- (e) The maximum velocity occurs at the equilibrium position, where displacement \(y=0\). It can be calculated as \(v_{max} = A\omega_0\) which is \(0.1 \times 2 = 0.2 \, \text{m/s}\), achieved through periodicity in the velocity function.
- (f) The effects of mass \(m\) and spring constant \(k\) on oscillation frequency are significant; high mass leads to slower oscillations and a larger spring constant results in faster oscillations. Theoretical examination shows \(T\) is proportional to \(\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\).

Part 2: Energy Conservation in Mass-Spring System

The total mechanical energy \(E\) in the mass-spring system is conserved in the absence of damping and can be represented as:
\[
E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}ky^2.
\]

MATLAB Script for Energy

```matlab
function LAB05ex2
m = 1;
k = 4;
omega0 = sqrt(k/m);
y0 = 0.1;
v0 = 0;
[t,Y] = ode45(@f,[0,10],[y0,v0],[],omega0);
y = Y(:,1);
v = Y(:,2);
E = (1/2)mv.^2 + (1/2)ky.^2; % Total Energy
figure(2);
plot(t,E);
grid on;
title('Conserved Mechanical Energy')
xlabel('Time (s)');
ylabel('Energy (Joules)');
end
```
1. Observation:
The energy plot exhibits a constant value over time, confirming the conservation of mechanical energy in the absence of damping.
2. Analytical Derivation:
Using the chain rule, we can demonstrate:
\[
\frac{dE}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}m \cdot 2v\frac{dv}{dt} + \frac{1}{2}k \cdot 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = mv \frac{dv}{dt} + ky \frac{dy}{dt}.
\]
Since \(v\) and \(\frac{dv}{dt}\) involve second derivatives leading back into the ODE, it results in \(dE/dt = 0\).
3. Phase Plot:
Creating a phase plot \(v\) against \(y\) indicates that the system maintains energy oscillation without approaching zero, reflecting continual motion.

Part 3: Damping Effects in Mass-Spring System

For damped oscillations, the ODE becomes:
\[
m \frac{d^2y}{dt^2} + c \frac{dy}{dt} + ky = 0,
\]
leading to:
\[
\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} + 2p \frac{dy}{dt} + \omega_0^2 y = 0,
\]
where \(p = \frac{c}{2m}\).

MATLAB Implementation for Damped System

The implementation requires modification of our previous scripts to incorporate damping effects.
```matlab
function LAB05ex1a
m = 1;
k = 4;
c = 1; % viscosity coefficient
omega0 = sqrt(k/m);
p = c/(2*m);
y0 = 0.1;
v0 = 0;
[t,Y] = ode45(@f,[0,10],[y0,v0],[],omega0,p);
y = Y(:,1); v = Y(:,2);
figure(1);
plot(t,y,’b+-’,t,v,’ro-’);
grid on;
function dYdt = f(t,Y,omega0,p)
y = Y(1); v = Y(2);
dYdt = [v; -2pv - omega0^2*y];
end
end
```

Observations

1. Damping Analysis: As the viscosity coefficient \(c\) increases, the oscillations dissipate more energy until reaching a critical damping point.
2. Energy Plot: Similar to the previous section, energy levels decrease over time, confirming energy loss due to damping.
3. Phase Plot: The trajectory approaches the origin over time as oscillations decay, indicating the system's transition towards equilibrium.
Overall, insights from this laboratory session are crucial for understanding harmonic systems subject to both idealized mechanical conditions and real-world damping effects.
