Spring-Mass-Damper
Kit

Spring-mass-damper plants are found on virtually every textbook related to vibrations, dynamic systems and controls. This kit is designed to explore and study many configurations of free and forced vibration systems.​

Learning Objectives Include

  • ​Modeling and simulation of dynamic systems

  • System identification and model validation

  • 1DOF and 2DOF system, 3DOF (optional)

  • Principles of free and forced vibrations

  • PID control

  • Discrete State-Space controller
