Example 14-15 An Object on a Spring

An object of mass 1.5 kg on a spring that has a force constant equal to 600 N/m loses 3.0% ofits energy in each cycle. The same system is driven by a sinusoidal force with a maximumvalue of Fo = 0.50 N. (a) What is Q for this system? (b) What is the resonance (angular) fre-quency? (c) If the driving frequency is slowly varied through resonance, what is the width.:.lW of the resonance? (d) What is the amplitude at resonance? (e) What is the amplitude if thedriving frequency w = 19 rad/s?

PICTURE The energy loss per cycle is only 3.0%, so the damping is weak. We can find Qfrom Q = 27T/(6.E/Elcycle (Equation 14-47) and then use this result and 6.w/wo = l/Q(Equation 14-51) to find the width 6.w of the resonance. The resonance frequency is the nat-ural frequency. The amplitude both at resonance and off resonance can be found fromEquation 14-55, with the damping constant calculated from Q using Q = WOT (Equation 14-45)and T = m/b (Equation 14-42).

SOLVE

Cover the column to the right and try these on your own before looking at the answers.

(a) The damping is weak. Relate Q to the fractional energy lossusing Q = 27T/(6.E/E)cycle (Equation 14-47):

(c) Relate the width of the resonance 6.w to Q using 6.w/wo = l/Q(Equation 14-51):

(d) 1. Write an expression for the amplitude A for any drivingfrequency W (Equation 14-55):

3. Use Q = WOT (Equation 14-45) and T = m/b (Equation 14-42)to relate the damping constant b to Q:

4. Use the results of the previous two steps to calculate theamplitude at resonance:

(e) Calculate the amplitude for W = 19 rad/s. (We omit the units tosimplify the equation. Because all quantities are in 51units,A will be in meters.)

Q = (I6.E~/~)CYcle = ~ = ~

Wo = /!; = 120 rad/s I6.w = ~ = I 0.096 rad/s I

CHECK At a frequency just 1 rad/s below the 20 rad/s resonance frequency, the amplitudedrops by a factor of 20. This is not surprising, because the width 6.w of the resonance is only0.096 rad/s.

TAKING IT FURTHER Off resonance the term b2w2 is negligiblecompared with the other term in the denominator of the expres-sion for A. When W - Wo is more than several times the width 6.w,as it was in this example, we can neglect the b2w2 term and calcu-late A from A = Fo/[m(w5 - w2)]. Figure 14-26 shows the ampli-tude versus driving frequency w. Note that the horizontal scale isover a small range of w.

-------------------------------Moving to the Beat: Millennium Bridge

The three-span London Millennium footbridge opened in June of 2000. Between80,000 and 100,000 people crossed the suspension bridge during the course of theday. As the bridge became crowded with up to 2000 people on it at anyone time,*it began to sway from side to side. Soon the lateral swaying was so strong thatmany people had to hold onto the handrails.t The "Wobbly Bridge"+ was closedthree days after its opening and did not reopen until February 2002. The footbridgewas designed to withstand extremely strong winds, as well as hits from heavybarges on both piers. However, the lateral motion was a shock to the designers andengineers. After several months of study, researchers concluded that walking has alateral component of force, as well as vertical and forward/backward components.

The typical cadence of a walking person is such that his or her left foot strikesthe walkway at approximately one-second intervals. The same is true, of course, forthe right foot. When someone steps forward onto his or her left foot, nearly 25 N offorce is directed to the left; the force is directed to the right for the right foot.# Ateach step, a left or right lateral force is exerted on the walkway, so the lateral forcesshake the walkway with a frequency of 1 Hz. Unfortunately, the two lowest naturalfrequencies of sideways motion for the 144-meter-long center span were 0.5 Hz and1.0 Hz,o and the 100-meter-long southern span had a natural vibration mode at 0.8Hz. The footsteps of the crowd drove the motion of the bridge. When the crowdwas small, the combined force of the footsteps was not enough to cause motion. But after more than 200 people were on thebridge,§ the natural damping of the bridge was not high enough to resist the combined force of the crowd's footsteps push-ing the bridge sideways.

The swaying increased because of human reaction to the sideways motion. Calculations show that the maximum lateral ac-celeration was between 0.2g and 0.3g,'ll enough to cause people to lose their balance. An instinctive method of regaining bal-ance on a moving surface is to walk so that the timing of footsteps matches the motion of the surface. This resonant walkingincreased the amplitude of the motion.

Measurements were made of test crowds on the bridge, which led to the solution of a series of dampers. Eight tuned-massdampers and 37 viscous dampers were installed to reduce the lateral swaying. The tuned-mass dampers are 2.5-ton steelblocks suspended on pendulums. They reduce lateral sway by vibrating 1800 out of phase with the bridge.** The viscousdampers are similar to the shock absorbers used to dampen vertical oscillations in automobiles; they work by moving a pis-ton back and forth through a viscous fluid. The main lateral damping is performed by 37 viscous dampers.tt Additional massdampers were installed to dampen any vertical oscillations. During the final tests before reopening, the peak measured ac-celerations on the bridge dropped by 97%, from 0.25g to 0.006g.++ The bridge has had no swaying problems since reopening.

Any##bridge with a lateral vibration mode below 1.3 Hz is susceptible to oscillation caused by the footsteps of a crowd.oo

Several different types of bridges had exhibited lateral swaying under pedestrian loads, including a cable-stayed bridge inJapan§§ and footbridges in Paris and Ottawa. Even highway bridges have shown the same behavior. '11'11 Because of the LondonMillennium footbridge, engineers have been motivated to look at vibration in a new manner.

Massive damped oscillators were attachedunder the walkway shortly after thissuspension bridge opened. The oscillators wereput there to prevent the excessive swaying thatwas driven by lateral forces exerted by thefootsteps of the walkers. (Alamy.)

1. Simple harmonic motion occurs whenever the restoring force is proportional to thedisplacement from equilibrium. It has wide application in the study of oscillations, waves,electrical circuits, and molecular dynamics.

2. Resonance is an important phenomenon in many areas of physics. It occurs whenthe frequency of the driving force is close to the natural frequency of the oscillatingsystem.

In simple harmonic motion, the acceleration (and thus the net force) is both proportional to,and oppositely directed from, the displacement from the equilibrium position.

If a particle moves in a circle with constant speed, the projection of the particle onto adiameter of the circle moves in simple harmonic motion.

If an object is given a small displacement from a position of stable equilibrium, it typicallyoscillates about this position with simple harmonic motion.

where I is the moment of inertia and K is the torsional constant. For small oscillations of aphysical pendulum, K = MgD, where D is the distance of the center of mass from therotation axis.

In the oscillations of real systems, the motion is damped because of dissipative forces.If the damping is greater than some critical value, the system does not oscillate whendisturbed, but merely returns to its equilibrium position. The motion of a weakly dampedsystem is nearly simple harmonic with an amplitude that decreases exponentially withtime.

(a) Show that the instantaneous power input of the drivingforce is given by P = Fv = - AwFo cos wt sin(wt - 0).

(b) Use the identity sin (°1 - (2) = sin °1 cas 02 - cas °1 sin 02 toshow that the equation in Part (a) can be written asP = AwFo sin 0 cos2 wt sin - AwFo cas 0 cas wt sin wt.

(e) Show that the average value of the second term in your re-sult for Part (b) over one or more periods is zero, and thattherefore Pay = !AwFo sin o. I

For a sharp resonance, the vari-ation in w in the numerator in this equation can be neglected.Then, the power input will be half its maximum value at the val-ues of w, for which the denominator is 2b2w~.(a) Show that w then satisfies m2(w - wo?(w + wo? = b2w~.(b) Using the approximation w + w2 = 2wo' show that

w - Wo = ~b/2m.(c) Express b in terms of Q.(d) Combine the results of Part (b) and Part (e) to show that there
