Giving the necessary mathematical expressions, discuss the transient and steady state of a weakly damped forced oscillator. Show that the average power absorbed by a forced oscillator is given by
time average over one complete cycle of the power, i.e, F(t) v, given above, and using the relations
Using the expressions, for <E> and <P> ,we can now obtain, by using Eqn.(6.42), the expression for the quality factor, i.e.
A more useful definition of the quality factor can be given in terms of the amplitudes. The quality factor can be defined as the ratio of the amplitude, at resonance, to that at low frequencies ( i.e. as → 0).
We have seen above that the amplitude at resonance [see Eqn.(6.39],
and the amplitude at low frequencies has been obtained as
(See Eqn.(6.34))
Thus, the quality factor can be expressed as
which can be further simplified for the case when damping is small when
. In such a case, neglecting b2 in Eqn.(6.48), we get
