MIT Vibrations and Waves Problem Solving Help Videos, Fall 2012 - 4. Coupled Oscillators without Damping

View the complete OCW resource: http://ocw.mit.edu/resources/res-8-005-vibrations-and-waves-problem-solving-fall-2012/ Instructor: Wit Busza In this session, we solve problems involving harmonic oscillators with several degrees of freedom - i.e., several discreet oscillators which are coupled or interconnected to each other. Only systems where damping can be ignored are considered. *NOTE: These videos were originally produced as part of a physics course that is no longer available on OCW.* Chapters 0:00:00 Title slate 0:00:21 Overview of two, coupled oscillators problems 0:01:42 First problem: coupled oscillators w 3 degrees of freedom 0:23:45 Three masses connected by two ideal springs 0:25:59 Second problem: double pendulum License: Creative Commons BY-NC-SA More information at http://ocw.mit.edu/terms More courses at http://ocw.mit.edu
