Analogous System

Electrical circuits can be analogous to mechanical systems through either series or parallel analogies. In a series analogy, mechanical equations of motion are compared to electrical mesh equations, with elements connected to each mass appearing in separate loops of the electrical circuit. In a parallel analogy, mechanical equations of motion are compared to nodal equations, with elements connected to each mass appearing at separate nodes of the electrical circuit. Elements common to multiple masses appear between the corresponding loops or nodes in the analogy circuits. An example mechanical system is then shown and the process for deriving the equivalent electrical analogy circuits through both series and parallel methods is described.

ANALOGOUS SYSTEMS

ELECTRICAL ANALOGOUS OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS


Similarity between Electrical and Mechanical systems equations make
possible to convert one system to another.
If mechanical system equations (equations of motion) are compared
with mesh equations, the resultant electrical analogous circuit is termed as
SERIES ANALOG CIRCUIT.
If mechanical system equations (equations of motion) are compared
with nodal equations, the resultant electrical analogous circuit is termed as
PARALLEL ANALOG CIRCUIT.
