University Dynamics and Control Report: Mass-Spring-Damper System

This report presents a detailed analysis of a mass-spring-damper system, simulating its behavior and investigating the impact of various parameters on its dynamics. The report begins with an introduction to vibration and its significance, followed by a theoretical background explaining the differential equation governing the system. It then describes the experimental setup and results obtained from a simulator, varying parameters such as mass, spring constant, damping constant, and input force. The analysis explores the effects of these parameters on the system's transient and steady-state responses, including observations on oscillation behavior, damping effects, and the influence of input force on displacement. The report concludes by summarizing the key findings and validating the observed results against the theoretical expressions. The study provides a comprehensive understanding of the mass-spring-damper system, crucial in mechanical engineering applications, and the report's findings are supported by relevant references.
