Then equations (5.5.1) and (5.5.2) become
m1d2x1dt2=-k1(x1-L1)+k2(x2-x1-L2)+b(p2m2-p1m1)
m2d2x2dt2=-k2(x2-x1-L2)-b(p2m2-p1m1),
and our new first-order system is
dx1dt=p1m1
dx2dt=p2m2
dp1dt=-k1(x1-L1)+k2(x2-x1-L2)+b(p2m2-p1m1)
dp2dt=-k2(x2-x1-L2)-b(p2m2-p1m1).
Indeed,
dHdt=-b(p2m2-p1m1)2=-b(dx2dt-dx1dt)2.
Equation (5.5.3) tells us that dHdt0. Moreover, dHdt0 whenever the distance
between the two masses is changing. Thus, energy decreases whenever the second mass is
moving relative to the first. Thus, if the wind or an earthquake starts our building (m1)
swaying back and forth, then the tuned mass-damper (m2) located on one of the top floors
of the building will start to move relative to the building and energy will be removed from
the system by the dampers.
Of course, m1 and k1 involve the building and are set by the architects and engineers.
We, however, are free to choose m2,k2 and b. We want to choose b fairly large so that there
is a rapid loss of energy; i.e., the magnitude of dHdt is large. We should choose m2 large
enough so that this mass oscillates with respect to m1. If we choose m2 two small, then
the strong damper will almost serve as a rigid connection between m1 and m2. Therefore,
we wish to choose m2 to be large so that we guaranteed that this mass will oscillate with
respect to m1. We should, however, remember that m2 is sitting on top of a very tall
building. Finally, we should choose k2 to maximize the rate at which the second mass
oscillates with respect to the first and to maximize the oscillations of m2. If we choose k2 so
that the second spring is in resonance with the first, the oscillations of the first mass force
the second at its resonance frequency. Thus, we will have relatively large oscillations of the
second mass and a large loss of energy.
Let us consider example. Suppose that m1=1,k1=1, We will also choose m2 to be
0.05 and b=0.1. If the initial conditions for our system are
x1(0)=10
x2(0)=0
p1(0)=0
p2(0)=0,
