Forced oscillations #1
Learning objectives
- To observe the solutions of a second-order differential equation.
- To describe what transient and a steady state solutions are
- To describe the resonance phenomenon and phase differences.
This applet models the behavior of a resonant system. The graph plots the solution of a second-order, constant coefficient differential equation in real time.
You can alter the different parameters in order to observe the different characteristic responses: transitory, steady state, resonance…
