Hooke’s Law
• For one dimensional simple harmonic motion force law is
• Corresponding potential function
• Significance
– Near an equilibrium Fx = ‒dU/dx = 0, so a quadratic
approximation is the approximation to the potential
with leading significance if k ≠ 0 by Taylor’s theorem
– If k > 0, the motion exhibits, and is the quintessential
example of, strong stability (motion under a
perturbation stays near the motion without the
perturbation)

Simple Harmonic Motion
• Energy Diagram
• The amplitude of the motion is denoted by A
Undergraduate Classical Mechanics Spring 2017
Solutions for Simple Harmonic Motion
• Equation of motion
• ω = 2π f is the angular frequency of the oscillation
• Period of oscillation is τ = 2π / ω
• General solution
• Equation is linear, and so superposition applies. Another way to
write the general solution is
• C+ and C‒ in general complex, and need for a real solution

Relation Between Expansion Coefficients
• Equating the two forms of the solution
• Or going in the other direction
• In other words
• Complex C+ (C‒) allows one to handle the oscillation phase!

Solution in Amplitude-Phase Form
• Suppose we wish to write the general solution in amplitude-
phase form
• Expression with complex representation even easier!

2D Isotropic Oscillator
• Oscillations in two directions at same frequency
Undergraduate Classical Mechanics Spring 2017
An-isotropic oscillations
• Lissajous figures when motion repeats itself (periodic)
Undergraduate Classical Mechanics Spring 2017
Damped Motion
• Add a friction force (linear drag)
• ω0 is the frequency without damping
• Solution ansatz to linear ordinary differential equation
(LCR circuit in electrical engineering)

• For solutions to homogeneous equation
• If β = 0 (undamped) reduces to case before
• If β << ω0 (called the underdamped case), the square root
is real, the angular frequency is adjusted to
and the oscillation damps with exponential damping rate β

• If β >> ω0 (called the overdamped case), the square root is
imaginary, the damping has two rates and no oscillation
• If β = ω0 (called the critically damped case), the square
root vanishes. Need another method to determine second
solution
• Motion dies out most quickly when the damping is critical
