§4 The energy of the harmonic oscillations
By definition, the kinetic energy of a body of mass m, moving with speed equal
The potential energy is equal to
Total energy is equal
Quasi-elastic force
is conservative, so the total energy of the harmonic motion is
constant. In the process of oscillations is turning kinetic energy into
potential energy and vice versa. Fluctuations WK and WP have a frequency 2ω0, ie twice the frequency of harmonic oscillations.
§ 5 The addition of harmonic oscillations
Image fluctuations in vector diagram
1. Let oscillations are described by the equation
(1)
Laid from point A on the vector length, making an angle φ0 with Ox. If this vector to begin rotating with angular velocity ω0,
then the projection of the end of the vector will change with time as
the cosine (1), ie, harmonic motion can be described by a vector whose
length is equal to the amplitude of the oscillations A, and the direction of the vector form the x-axis angle of the initial phase φ0.
2. Addition of two harmonic oscillations of the same direction and the same frequency.
The resulting vector is equal to
And find on the parallelogram, its projection on the X axis equal to
X=X1 + X2.
Length of the resulting vector, or the amplitude of the resulting oscillation is on the law of cosines and equal
The initial phase of the resulting oscillation is determined by the condition
The addition of two
harmonic oscillations with the same frequency and the same direction,
the resulting motion is also a harmonic oscillation with the same period
and an amplitude A, which lies within
Fluctuations that have φ10 = φ20, А= А1 + А2are called in-phase.
Fluctuations that have φ10 - φ20 = π, А=| А2 – А1called antiphase.
If А1 = А2, when φ10 = φ20 А = 2А1, at φ10 - φ20 = π, А=| А2 – А1| = 0.
3. Beats
Beats - Addition of oscillations with close frequencies ω1 ≈ ω2.
With
the addition of harmonic oscillations differ slightly in frequency
resulting motion is a harmonic oscillation with pulsing amplitude. Such
vibrations are called beats.
For simplicity, assume
А= А1 = А2, φ10 = φ20 = 0.
Then
, where
(2)
The resulting expression is the product of two oscillations.
Factor has a frequency an average of two terms of vibrations. ie close to their frequencies ω1 and ω2. The second factor has in virtue of proximity ω1 and ω2
low frequency, ie large period. This allows us to consider the
resulting motion as nearly harmonic oscillation with an average
angular frequency and slowly varying amplitude .
1,2 - graph the slowly varying amplitude.
3 - graph of the resulting oscillation.
When φ1 ≈ φ2, Арез ≈ 2А. After a interval ,
one of the vibrations behind the other in phase by π and Аres → 0. This gradual increase and decrease the amplitude of the resulting oscillation is called a beat.
If ω1 and ω2 are comparable, ie can be found two numbers n1 and n2, that then after that interval of time
the arguments of both factors in (2) to change the whole (though different) number of times 2π, their product will take the same value as in the beginning of period τ. The value of τ is the time period of the resulting oscillation.
If the frequency is not comparable, the resulting oscillation will non-periodic.
4. Addition perpendicular vibrations.
Consider the result of the addition of two harmonic oscillations of the same frequency ω1 = ω2 = ω, occurring in mutually perpendicular directions along the x and y axes.
(1)
а) Let φ10 = φ20.
Then, т.е. - тtrajectory - the diagonal of a rectangle with sides 2A (x-axis) and 2B (y-axis)
b) Let φ10 = φ20 +π.
Then
c) Let φ10 = φ20 +π/2
- ellipse.
If А = В –circle.
d) φ10 = φ20 - π/2 – ellipse, but changes the direction of the circuit
e) Arbitrary φ10 and φ20 - also an ellipse with equation
In the general case
- φ20 - φ10 = 2kπ;
2. Δφ = (2k + 1)π;
3. Δφ = ±π/2k;
f) Lissajous figures.
In
the case where the frequency of oscillation perpendicular, in which
both involved the point under consideration are as integers, the
trajectory is a complex curves, known as Lissajous figures. The shape
of the curve depends on the ratio of amplitude, frequency and phase
difference summed vibrations.
Ratio of frequency foldable vibrations is the ratio of the number of
intersections of the Lissajous figures with lines parallel to the axes.
By type of Lissajous figures can be determined from the known unknown
frequency, or to determine the frequency ratio ω1 and ω2.
