Oscillations In An LC Circuit01:30

Oscillations In An LC Circuit

3.1K
An idealized LC circuit of zero resistance can oscillate without any source of emf by shifting the energy stored in the circuit between the electric and magnetic fields. In such an LC circuit, if the capacitor contains a charge q before the switch is closed, then all the energy of the circuit is initially stored in the electric field of the capacitor. This energy is given by

Forced Oscillations01:06

Forced Oscillations

7.7K
When an oscillator is forced with a periodic driving force, the motion may seem chaotic. The motions of such oscillators are known as transients. After the transients die out, the oscillator reaches a steady state, where the motion is periodic, and the displacement is determined.

Damped Oscillations

6.8K
In the real world, oscillations seldom follow true simple harmonic motion. A system that continues its motion indefinitely without losing its amplitude is termed undamped. However, friction of some sort usually dampens the motion, so it fades away or needs more force to continue. For example, a guitar string stops oscillating a few seconds after being plucked. Similarly, one must continually push a swing to keep a child swinging on a playground.
Although friction and other non-conservative...

Oscillations about an Equilibrium Position

6.8K
Stability is an important concept in oscillation. If an equilibrium point is stable, a slight disturbance of an object that is initially at the stable equilibrium point will cause the object to oscillate around that point. For an unstable equilibrium point, if the object is disturbed slightly, it will not return to the equilibrium point. There are three conditions for equilibrium points—stable, unstable, and half-stable. A half-stable equilibrium point is also unstable, but is named so...

Equation of Motion: General Plane motion

In the context of a rigid body's movement within a general plane, it is important to understand that this motion is typically triggered by external forces or couple moments exerted onto it. This principle can be explained through Newton's second law, which stipulates the translational motion of the body's center of mass along each axis.
Moreover, the body's center of mass experiences a rotational effect as a result of these couple moments. This rotation can be articulated as the...

Absolute Motion Analysis- General Plane Motion

Visualize a drone, with its propellers spinning rapidly, hovering mid-air. The fascinating movements and operations of this drone can be comprehended by applying the principle of general plane motion.
As the drone's propellers rotate, an upward force is generated that counteracts the force of gravity, enabling the drone to lift off from the ground. This initial movement of the drone is along a straight path, representing a form of translational motion. In this phase, every point on the...

This summary is machine-generated.

This study extends a mathematical model of eyeball and pupil motion to better understand postsaccadic oscillations (PSO). New extensions and analyses reveal how PSO emerge critically with varying saccade sizes and system parameters.

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Ophthalmology
  • Mathematical Modeling

Background:

  • A prior model explained postsaccadic oscillations (PSO) as inertial effects of pupil motion during eyeball rotation.
  • This model successfully reproduced experimental eye-tracking data for PSO profiles and saccade size dependence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To extend and analyze a mathematical model of eyeball and pupil motion.
  • To investigate the dynamics of postsaccadic oscillations (PSO) with more general conditions and parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Developed extensions to the existing eyeball and pupil motion model.
  • Derived analytical solutions, including those using hypergeometric functions.
  • Introduced a model version with inhomogeneous viscosity for improved experimental fitting.

Main Results:

  • The extended model analyzes PSO dynamics for saccades with vanishing initial acceleration.
  • PSO emerge in critical-like ways as iris elasticity, eyeball velocity, or saccade size are varied.
  • Specific PSO profiles observed experimentally are linked to regions near model criticality.

Conclusions:

  • The enhanced model provides deeper insights into the inertial dynamics governing pupil motion and PSO.
  • Critical phenomena in the model dynamics correlate with observed experimental PSO characteristics.
  • The study offers a refined framework for understanding the biomechanics of eye movements.
