[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Combined with appendix Figure 1-11 As shown:

[0034] An experimental apparatus for measuring the coupled pendulum of an object using an unbalanced bridge and resistance strain gauge method includes a crossbar 1 and pendulum rods 2 hinged at both ends of the crossbar 1. A pendulum bob 3 is connected to the lower end of each set of pendulum rods 2, and a coupling spring assembly is adjustablely connected between the two sets of pendulum rods 2. An angular displacement sensor signal output device 4 is also connected to the middle of the crossbar 1. Angular displacement measurement sensing components are connected to both sides of the angular displacement sensor signal output device 4 and respectively between the two sets of pendulum rods 2. The angular displacement measurement sensing components include a tension sensing unit 5 and a signal amplification and conditioning module. The angular displacement sensor signal output device 4 is connected to an oscilloscope.

[0035] The tension sensing unit 5 contains a symmetrical DC bridge with resistors R1-R4, wherein:

[0036] Resistor R1 is a resistance strain gauge, resistors R2-R4 are fixed resistors, and resistors R1-R4 form the four arms of the bridge.

[0037] The resistors R1 and R2 are connected in series to form one arm of the bridge, and the resistors R3 and R4 are connected in series to form the other arm of the bridge. The output of the bridge is connected between the connection point of resistors R1 and R2 and the connection point of resistors R3 and R4.

[0038] The initial resistance of resistor R1 is equal to that of resistor R2, which is R; the resistance of resistor R3 is equal to that of resistor R4, which is R'.

[0039] When R≠R', and the resistance increment ΔR < R of arm R1, the output voltage ΔU of the bridge is: ΔU = U0xΔR / 4R;

[0040] In operation, the tension sensing unit 5 also includes a spring body 6 connected to the resistance strain gauge. The free end of the spring body 6 is connected to the swing rod 2 via a kit 7. The coupling spring assembly includes a position adjustment block 8 connected to the swing rod 2 and a spring plate 9 connected between the two sets of position adjustment blocks 8.

[0041] To ensure the equipment can be adapted for use,

[0042] It also includes a leveling base connected to the crossbar 1. The leveling base includes a device base 10, a column 11 connected to the device base 10, and multiple sets of partitions 12 connected between the columns 11.

[0043] The device base 10 is provided with adjustable feet 13 between itself and the ground. The crossbar 1 is connected to the bottom partition 12, and the angular displacement sensor signal output device 4 is connected to the next partition 12.

[0044] For the adjustment of kit 7 and position adjustment block 8, they are connected to the rocker arm 2 and secured with bolts tightened into the slots on their outer walls. Figure 4 As shown.

[0045] When using it, you can first teach the user the experimental principle of measuring the swing angle, that is, by using an unbalanced bridge and a resistance strain gauge to measure the voltage output of the unbalanced bridge, a voltage signal proportional to the swing angle can be obtained.

[0046] To understand the conditions for the formation of a "beat," an object participates in two movements with a very small difference in frequency, and their vibrations form a beat phenomenon, as well as the magnitude of the beat frequency (the difference between the two frequencies).

[0047] The equation of the pendulum is:

[0048]

[0049] The first factor in the formula changes slowly over time relative to the latter; it can be considered as a slow change in amplitude. Since only the absolute value of this factor represents the change in amplitude, the angular frequency of the amplitude change is twice the angular frequency of this factor, i.e., the beat frequency is...

[0050] ω 拍 =ω1-ω0

[0051] Master the method of measuring the period of a pendulum using a memory oscilloscope and how to adjust the oscilloscope, taking a conventional oscilloscope as an example:

[0052] X-axis timeline, scan parameters set to 10s / division;

[0053] Y-channel 1 and Y-channel 2 are set to: direct coupling mode, sensitivity 100mV / division;

[0054] Trigger settings: Trigger source CH1, DC coupled.

[0055] In use, each pendulum in this application experiences two torques: one from gravity, and the pendulum angle φ is often very small, so the gravitational torque can be written as...

[0056] M=mgLsinφ≈Dφ,

[0057] In the formula, D = mgL, where L is the pendulum length; the other torque comes from the spring plate, M′ = kΔxl, where k is the stiffness coefficient of the spring plate; l is the distance from the pendulum axis to the fixed point of the spring plate; Δx is the change in length of the spring plate relative to its original length, because Δx = lφ, therefore...

[0058] M′=kl 2 φ=D′φ

[0059] Where D′=kl 2 If pendulum P1 remains stationary at its equilibrium position, and pendulum P2 is deviated to the right by an angle φ2 from its equilibrium position, the total torque acting on pendulum P2 is (with pendulum P2 being to the right of its equilibrium position as positive).

[0060] like Figure 10 As shown:

[0061] When pendulum P2 deviates from φ2, if pendulum P1 deviates to the left by an angle of φ1, the total torque acting on pendulum P2 is...

[0062]

[0063] In the formula, J is the moment of inertia of pendulum P2. Similarly, the total torque acting on pendulum P1 is:

[0064]

[0065] Equations (2-8-1) and (2-8-2) are the system of differential equations for the coupled pendulum, which can be rewritten as follows:

[0066]

[0067] In the formula: Solving the system of differential equations (3) and (4) yields the following results:

[0068]

[0069] In the formula: ω1 is related to coupling, a1, a2, b1, b2 are parameters related to the initial states of the two pendulums. Taking the derivatives of equations (2-8-5) and (2-8-6), we can obtain the expressions for the angular velocities of the two pendulums.

[0070]

[0071] Discuss the motion under three initial states:

[0072] In-phase motion, such as Figure 5

[0073] The initial conditions are t = 0, φ1 = φ2 = φ a ; The two pendulums will deflect in the same direction by the same angle φ. a Simultaneously released, the two pendulums move in the same phase. Substituting the initial conditions into formulas (2-8-5) to (2-8-8), we obtain the equations of motion for the two pendulums.

[0074] φ1(t)=φ2(t)=φ a cosω0t (2-8-9)

[0075] At this time, the frequency ω of the in-phase vibration 同 =ω0, coupling has no effect, and the oscillation periods of the two pendulums are the same.

[0076] Reverse phase motion, such as Figure 6

[0077] The initial conditions are: t = 0, -φ1 = φ2 = φ a ; That is, the two pendulums are deflected from their equilibrium positions by φ1 = -φ. a ,φ2=φ a Then they are released simultaneously. Afterward, the spring plates will continuously extend and retract, significantly affecting the coupled vibration of the pendulums. Substituting the initial conditions into formulas (5) to (8), we can obtain the equations of motion for the two pendulums as follows:

[0078] φ1(t)=φ a cosω1t (2-8-10)

[0079] φ2(t)=-φ a cosω1t (2-8-11)

[0080] It can be seen that the frequencies of the two pendulums The coupling works, and the oscillation periods of the two pendulums are the same. Since ω1 > ω0, therefore we should have

[0081] Normal vibrations such as Figure 7

[0082] The initial conditions are: t = 0, φ1 = 0, φ2 = φ a ; With pendulum P1 fixed, pendulum P2 deviates from its equilibrium position by an angle φ. a That is, φ1=0, φ2=φ a Then, both pendulums are released simultaneously. Initially, only pendulum P2 oscillates. As time increases, the oscillation of pendulum P2 gradually decreases, while the oscillation of pendulum P1 gradually increases, until pendulum P2 stops oscillating, while pendulum P1 reaches its maximum oscillation, completing all energy transfer. Then, the reverse process begins. Substituting the initial conditions into formulas (2-8-5) to (2-8-8), we can obtain the equations of motion for the two pendulums as follows:

[0083]

[0084] At this point, a distinct "beating" phenomenon can be observed. φ1(t) and φ2(t) undergo normal vibrations with slowly changing amplitudes, also known as beat vibrations. The frequency of the beat vibration is ω. 拍 =ω1-ω0, the oscillation frequency of each pendulum is The period is The oscilloscope display of the pendulum vibrations shows that after the impact between pendulums P1 and P2, the amplitude of pendulum P1 gradually increases due to coupling, while the amplitude of pendulum P2 gradually decreases, indicating energy conservation between the two. After half a beat, the energy of pendulum P2 is completely converted into the energy of pendulum P1, and then the reverse occurs, with the energy of pendulum P1 being converted back into the energy of pendulum P2, and so on. In this way, both pendulums undergo "beat" vibrations, and the beat period can be measured from the vibration diagram.

[0085] Ratio The coupling degree of the pendulum can be written in the following form.

[0086]

[0087] because ω 同 =ω0, so the coupling degree of the pendulum can be expressed as

[0088]

[0089] When using the system, the motion characteristics of the coupled pendulum system under different initial conditions should be studied. To reduce errors when measuring each motion cycle of the system, 10 to 20 complete waveforms should be selected from the vibration waveform and the time intervals should be measured to obtain the required cycle value.

[0090] 1. Measure the natural frequency of a single pendulum and adjust it so that the vibration frequencies (or periods) of the two pendulums are the same, that is, the two systems have the same vibration mode (the experimental setup has been set, and the natural frequency can be obtained from the in-phase vibration frequency).

[0091] 2. Connect the pendulum at different positions using spring coupling, and measure the in-phase motion frequency ω of the coupled system. 同 and the frequency table of anti-phase motion ω 反 The normal frequencies of the coupled pendulum were measured; the linear relationship between the square of the coupling length and the square of its antiphase oscillation frequency was verified.

[0092] 3. Measurements showed that the square of the coupling length l was linearly related to the beat frequency at different coupling lengths. 2 ~ω 拍 .
