Abstract

The study of transient vibrations in mechanical systems is an important subject for the physics of vibrations and waves as well as mechanical engineering. Since the damping factor for this type of vibrational system is highly dependent on several factors such as the vibration time of the spring, the friction coefficient of the medium, and the stiffness coefficient of the spring, as well as the mass of the vibration system. However, it is sometimes difficult to determine the factors that influence the speed of damping, i.e., the loss of system energy over time, because these factors are dependent on each other. In this study, we used computer simulations to translate the practical readings through a microprocessor that is connected to the computer to observe vibration movement and spectral analysis. The results showed that the average damping factor at different times of the first spring was 0.91, while the mean damping coefficient of the second spring was 0.93. The results also showed that the higher the stiffness coefficient, the greater the damping coefficient; and the lower the displacement occurred in the spring, the less the damping coefficient would be. Also, the longer the periodic time of vibrations in the system, the longer the damping occurred in the system.
