Analysis of Coupled Mass-Spring-Damper System by Changing Spring Constant, Mass, and Force

Abstract

Mass-Spring-Damper System has been widely used in both structural and technological aspect. In thispaper a second degree of freedom mass-spring-damper forced system is used to study the effect ofchanging some parameters value (spring constant, mass and self-excitation force) to the systemstabilization. MATLAB program is part of the aiding tools to do the simulation of the whole system andresulting infrequency Response Graph, “Frequency versus Amplitude” and “Frequency versus Phase”.The mentioned three parameter value affects mostly the amplitude but little on the system phase.
