Oscillations (definitions)An oscillation is a repeated motion about a fixed point.
The fixed point, known as the equilibrium position, is where the oscillating object returns to once the oscillation stops.
The time period, T of an oscillation is the time taken for an object to perform one complete oscillation.

Simple Harmonic MotionMany oscillating systems undergo a pattern of oscillation that is, or approximately the same as, that known as Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM).
Examples (including some that are approximate):A mass hanging from the end of a springMolecular oscillationsA pendulum or swingA ruler oscillating on the end of a benchThe oscillation of a guitar or violin stringTides Breathing

The pattern of SHM motionThe pattern of SHM is the same as the side view of an object moving at a constant speed around a circular path
The amplitude of the oscillation is equal to the radius of the circle.
The object moves quickest as it passes through the central equilibrium position.
The time period of the oscillation is equal to the time taken for the object to complete the circular path.

Conditions required for SHMWhen an object is performing SHM:
1. Its acceleration is proportional to its displacement from the equilibrium position.
2. Its acceleration is directed towards the equilibrium position.
Mathematically the above can be written: a = - k xwhere k is a constant and the minus sign indicates that the acceleration, a and displacement, x are in opposite directions

Free oscillationA freely oscillating object oscillates with a constant amplitude.
The total of the potential and kinetic energy of the object will remain constant.EP + ET = a constant
This occurs when there are no frictional forces acting on the object such as air resistance.

QuestionA simple pendulum consists of a mass of 50g attached to the end of a thread of length 60cm. Calculate: (a) the period of the pendulum (g = 9.81ms-2) and (b) the maximum height reached by the mass if the mass’s maximum speed is 1.2 ms-1.

Energy variation with an oscillating spring
The strain potential energy is given by:
EP = ½ k x2
Therefore the maximum potential energy of an oscillating spring system= ½ k A2
= Total energy of the system, ET
But: ET = EP + EK
½ k A2 = ½ k x2 + EK
And so the kinetic energy is given by:EK = ½ k A2 - ½ k v2
EK = ½ k (A2 - x2)
![Page 27: 4.1c Further Mechanics SHM & Oscillations](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/568164ad550346895dd6b478/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Energy versus displacement graphsThe potential energy curve is parabolic, given by:
EP = ½ k x2
The kinetic energy curve is an inverted parabola, given by:
EK = ½ k (A2 - x2)
The total energy ‘curve’ is a horizontal line such that:
ET = EP + EK

Energy versus time graphsDisplacement varies with time according to:x = A cos (2π f t)Therefore the potential energy curve is cosine squared, given by:EP = ½ k A2 cos2 (2π f t)
½ k A2 = total energy, ET.and so: EP = ET cos2 (2π f t)Kinetic energy is given by:EK = ET - EP
EK = ET - ET cos2 (2π f t)EK = ET (1 - cos2 (2π f t))EK = ET sin2 (2π f t)EK = ½ k A2 sin2 (2π f t)

DampingDamping occurs when frictional forces cause the amplitude of an oscillation to decrease.
The amplitude falls to zero with the oscillating object finishing in its equilibrium position.
The total of the potential and kinetic energy also decreases.
The energy of the object is said to be dissipated as it is converted to thermal energy in the object and its surroundings.
![Page 30: 4.1c Further Mechanics SHM & Oscillations](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/568164ad550346895dd6b478/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Types of damping1. Light DampingIn this case the amplitude gradually decreases with time.
The period of each oscillation will remain the same.
The amplitude, A at time, t will be given by: A = A0 exp (- C t)where A0 = the initial amplitude and C = a constant depending on the system (eg air resistance)
![Page 31: 4.1c Further Mechanics SHM & Oscillations](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/568164ad550346895dd6b478/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
2. Critical DampingIn this case the system returns to equilibrium, without overshooting, in the shortest possible time after it has been displaced from equilibrium.
3. Heavy DampingIn this case the system returns to equilibrium more slowly than the critical damping case.

Forced oscillationsAll undamped systems of bodies have a frequency with which they oscillate if they are displaced from their equilibrium position.This frequency is called the natural frequency, f0.
Forced oscillation occurs when a system is made to oscillate by a periodic force. The system will oscillate with the applied frequency, fA of the periodic force.
The amplitude of the driven system will depend on:1. The damping of the system.2. The difference between the applied and natural frequencies.
![Page 33: 4.1c Further Mechanics SHM & Oscillations](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/568164ad550346895dd6b478/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
ResonanceThe maximum amplitude occurs when the applied frequency, fA is equal to the natural frequency, f0 of the driven system.
This is called resonance and the natural frequency is sometimes called the resonant frequency of the system.
![Page 34: 4.1c Further Mechanics SHM & Oscillations](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/568164ad550346895dd6b478/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Notes on the resonance curvesIf damping is increased then the amplitude of the driven system is decreased at all driving frequencies.
If damping is decreased then the sharpness of the peak amplitude part of the curve increases.
The amplitude of the driven system tends to be: - Equal to that of the driving system at very low frequencies.- Zero at very high frequencies.- Infinity (or the maximum possible) when fA is equal to f0 as damping is reduced to zero.

Phase differenceThe driven system’s oscillations are always behind those of the driving system.
The phase difference lag of the driven system depends on:1. The damping of the system.2. The difference between the applied and natural frequencies.
At the resonant frequency the phase difference is π/2 (90°)
