Solved by: Andrea Vargas

Problem Statement

edit

For the following spring-dashpot-mass system (in series) find the values for the parameters   knowing that the system has the double real root  

Figure

edit

 

Solution

edit

Previously, we have derived the following equation for such a system:
(From Sec 1 (d), (3) p.1-5)
 
We can write this equation in standard form by diving through by  :
 
Here, we can take the coefficients of   and   as   and  :

 


Next,considering the double real root:
 
We can find the characteristic equation to be:
 
Which is in the form:
 

Then, we know that   and  :

Setting   and   from the first equation equal to these, we obtain:

                                                              



Clearly, there is an infinite amount of solutions to this problem because we have 2 equations but 3 unknowns. This can be solved by fixing one of the values and finding the other two.

Example of Solution

An example of fixing one of the constants to find the other two is provided here. By solving the simple equations above, we can illustrate how to find   . We had:
 

If we fix the mass to  . We find:
 

 

Then,
 

 

Finally, we obtain:
