How to Calculate and Solve for Undamped Natural Frequency | Dynamic Characteristics of Instruments

The image above represents undamped natural frequency. Two essential parameters are needed to calculate undamped natural frequency: co-efficient (ao) and co-efficient (a2).

The formula for calculating undamped natural frequency:

ωo = √(ao / a2)

Where:

ωo = Undamped Natural Frequency
ao = Co-efficient
a2 = Co-efficient

Let’s solve an example;
Find the undamped natural frequency when the co-efficient is 32 and the co-efficient is 3.

This implies that;

ao = Co-efficient = 32
a2 = Co-efficient = 3

ωo = √(ao / a2)
Then, ωo = √(32 / 3)
ωo = √(10.66)
ωo = 3.265

Therefore, the undamped natural frequency is 3.265.

Calculating for the Co-efficient when the Undamped Natural Frequency and the Co-efficient are Given

ao  = a2 x wo2

Where;

ao = Co-efficient
ωo = Undamped Natural Frequency
a2 = Co-efficient

Let’s solve an example;
Find the co-efficient when the undamped natural frequency is 12 and the co-efficient is 6.

This implies that;

ωo = Undamped Natural Frequency = 12
a2 = Co-efficient = 6

ao  = a2 x wo2
So, ao  = 6 x 122
ao  = 6 x 144
ao  = 864

Therefore, the co-efficient is 864.

Calculating for the Co-efficient when the Undamped Natural Frequency and the Co-efficient are Given

a2 = ao / wo2

Where;

a2 = Co-efficient
ωo = Undamped Natural Frequency
ao = Co-efficient

Let’s solve an example;
Find the co-efficient when the undamped natural frequency is 7 and the co-efficient is 21.

This implies that;

ωo = Undamped Natural Frequency = 7
ao = Co-efficient = 21

a2 = ao / wo2
That is, a2 = 21 / 72
a2 = 21 / 49
a2 = 0.428

Therefore, the co-efficient is 0.428.
