Angular Natural Frequency vs Spring Stiffness (k)

Formula

Natural Frequency of a Spring-Mass System

Every elastic system has a natural frequency at which it tends to vibrate when disturbed.

Formulas

omega_n = sqrt(k / m) (angular frequency in rad/s)

f_n = omega_n / (2 pi) (frequency in Hz)

T = 1 / f_n = 2 pi / omega_n (period in seconds)

Resonance occurs when the excitation frequency matches the natural frequency, leading to large amplitude vibrations that can cause structural failure.

Esempio Risolto

A 5 kg mass on a spring with stiffness 10,000 N/m.

  1. 01omega_n = sqrt(10000 / 5) = sqrt(2000) = 44.72 rad/s
  2. 02f_n = 44.72 / (2 x 3.1416) = 7.12 Hz
  3. 03T = 1 / 7.12 = 0.1405 s

What is resonance and why is it dangerous?

Resonance occurs when an external vibration matches the natural frequency. At resonance, vibration amplitudes grow dramatically (limited only by damping), potentially causing fatigue failure. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse in 1940 is a classic example.

How does damping affect natural frequency?

Damping slightly lowers the actual oscillation frequency. The damped frequency is f_d = f_n x sqrt(1 - zeta^2), where zeta is the damping ratio. For typical structural damping (zeta < 0.1), the difference is negligible.

How do I avoid resonance in machine design?

Design the system so that operating frequencies are at least 20-30% away from any natural frequency. Alternatively, add damping, change mass, change stiffness, or use vibration isolators.
