In this section, we examine some examples of damped harmonic motion and see how to modify the equations of motion to describe this more general case. A guitar string stops oscillating a few seconds after being plucked.

Eq.(4) is the desired equation of motion for harmonic motion with air drag. It models what is known as damped harmonic oscillations, and is more realistic than the case where b is assumed to be zero. It can thus be readily applied to most every-day oscillating systems provided they can be defined one-dimensionally.
3 dni temu · Examples of damped harmonic oscillators include any real oscillatory system like a yo-yo, clock pendulum, or guitar string: after starting the yo-yo, clock, or guitar string vibrating, the vibration slows down and stops over time, corresponding to the decay of sound volume or amplitude in general.
Consider first the free oscillation of a damped oscillator. This could be, for example, a system of a block attached to a spring, like that shown in Figure \( 1.1\), but with the whole system immersed in a viscous fluid.
20 lip 2022 · Energy in the Underdamped Oscillator. For the underdamped oscillator, \((b / m)^{2}<4 k / m, \quad \gamma=\left(k / m-(b / 2 m)^{2}\right)^{1 / 2}\), and \(\alpha=b / 2 m\). Let’s choose \(t=0\) such that the phase shift is zero \(\phi=0\) The stored energy in the system will decay due to the energy loss due to dissipation.
Examples of damping include viscous damping in a fluid (see viscous drag), surface friction, radiation, [1] resistance in electronic oscillators, and absorption and scattering of light in optical oscillators.
Damped systems lose energy with time until they come to rest. The rate of energy loss is given by the dissipation function.
