Two Degree of freedom Damped free vibration

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the force and velocity in a two degree of freedom mechanical system with two masses, each supported by springs and dampers. The user has the necessary parameters, including spring constants, damping constants, and mass values, but is unsure how to apply them to find the desired outputs. The goal is to determine the forces and velocities in the dampers when the system is allowed to stroke 1 inch. Clarification on the specific calculations and expressions needed for this analysis is sought. Understanding the relationship between time, displacement, force, and velocity in this context is crucial for solving the problem.

I am trying to calculate the force and velocity of a primary and secondary suspension. I know the damping constant of the dampers and the spring constant of the springs. I see where an expression can be calculated where you input time and get x.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

What exactly is your question?
 
I am trying to solve a two degree of freedom mechanical translational problem. The system has two masses and a spring and damper arrangement uder each mass. I was given the spring constant, damping constant, and mass. I want to dtemine the force and velocity into the damper if it is allowed to stroke 1 inch.
 

Thread '2:1 Pulley Question'

I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...

Thread 'Why do all my clocks run slow?'

Hi. I noticed that all electronic devices in my household that also tell time eventually lag behind, except the ones that get synchronized by radio signal or internet. Most of them are battery-powered, except my alarm clock (which runs slow as well). Why does none of them run too fast? Deliberate design (why)? Wrong temperature for quartz crystal? Decreasing battery voltage? Or just a coincidence?
