Presentation Transcript

  1. Lagrangian

  2. Using the Lagrangian • Identify the degrees of freedom. • One generalized coordinate for each • Velocities as functions of generalized coordinates and velocities • Find the Lagrangian • Kinetic energy in terms of velocity components • Potential energy in terms of generalized coordinates • Write Lagrange’s equations of motion.

  3. The 1-D simple harmonic oscillator has one force. F = - kx Conservative force Select x as the generalized coordinate. T, V in terms of generalized coordinate and velocity Use Lagrange’s EOM. Usual Newtonian equation Simple Harmonic Oscillator

  4. Plane Pendulum • The plane pendulum is a 2-D system. • Two degrees of freedom • One constraint r = R • Angle q as generalized coordinate y x R q m

  5. Oscillating Support • The moving support depends only on time. • Not a new degree of freedom – add to x • Angle q still the generalized coordinate y x R q m

  6. The support term is time dependent. Must take derivatives when needed Provides a driving force The Lagrangian method gives the equation of motion. Forced Oscillator
