Mechanism Monday: Analyzing Vibration Systems in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

Hi everyone,

I've been tinkering around in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and have created some really cool simulations of damped vibration systems. These systems can be found everywhere in the world around us, from the oscillations of a car suspension system to the vibrations of a guitar string. By understanding how these systems behave, we can make better designs and improve performance.

As you can see, the different types of systems have very different behaviors over time. The un-damped system oscillates indefinitely, while the over-damped and critically-damped systems decay to zero without oscillating, and the under-damped system oscillates with a decaying amplitude.

So, I created four different systems: un-damped, over-damped, critically-damped, and under-damped. Each of these systems has its own unique behavior, and I've made some awesome plots and videos to showcase them.

Type of SystemDamping Coefficient, cPlotSimulation
Undamped System0kg_s
Under Damped System0.175kg_s
Critically Damped system0.876kg_s
Over Damped System1.6kg_s
Note: 
Mass of the sphere, m = 0.008kg 
Elasticity, k = 24kg_s2
Free length of the spring, l = 15mm

I hope that this work will be helpful for those of you who are interested in analyzing vibration systems, and I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to share them in the comments below.
