Spring Damping On Matlab Platform

This experiment analyzes the dynamics of a mass-spring-damper system using a simulation platform. The objectives are to determine the system dynamics and express them in Simulink. The mass, spring, and damper components model the system dynamics according to D'Alembert's law. In the simulation, values of 16, 4, and 2 are used for the mass, damper, and spring respectively. The output waveform shows the displacement over time, with an initial delay before responding to the step input force.

Experiment No: 01

Name of the Experiment: Analysis the Dynamics of a Mass-Spring-


Damper System in Simulation Platform

Objectives:
1. To determine the dynamics of a mass-spring-damper system.
2. To express the dynamics in Simulink platform

Theory:
The mass of the dynamic system is lumped into a single point mass in the MSD
system. The inertial effect of the dynamic system is related through this lumped
mass.
The stored energy/internal energy of the dynamic system is modelled as a one-
dimensional spring in the MSD system. The spring is able to store energy inside
when it is stretched or compressed from its original length.
The energy dissipated out of the dynamic system is modelled through a one-
dimensional damper in the MSD system. The viscous damper, for instance, is able
to dissipate energy as heat outside the dynamic system.
These three components, mass, spring and the damper can model any dynamic
response situation in a general sense. Mathematically the linear dynamic equation
of equilibrium is represented as 
M ÿ ( t )+ D ẏ ( t )+ Ky ( t ) =f
1 D K
⇒ ÿ ( t )= f − ẏ ( t ) − y (t)
M M M

Where-
ÿ ( t ) =Acceleration
ẏ ( t ) =velocity
y ( t ) =Displacement

The dynamics of a mass-spring-damper model can be found by D Alembert’s law.


D Alembert’s law states that, for any body, the algebraic sum of externally applied
force and the forces resisting motion is zero.

Discussion:
The external force was a unit step that was delayed by 1 second. In command
window, the plot() function was used to show the output of the scope. There was
2 integrator blocks, 1 summer, 3 gain blocks, 1 mux and 1 scope.
Precautions:
1. The block diagram was represented carefully.
2. The values were given to the blocks as assumed.
