Harmonic Oscillator¤

DampedHarmonicOscillator ¤

Bases: HarmonicOscillatorBase

Generate time series data for a damped harmonic oscillator.

The equation for a general un-driven harmonic oscillator is12

\[ \frac{\mathrm d x^2}{\mathrm d t^2} + 2\zeta \omega \frac{\mathrm d x}{\mathrm dt} + \omega^2 x = 0, \]

where \(x\) is the displacement, \(\omega\) is the angular frequency of an undamped oscillator (\(\zeta=0\)), and \(\zeta\) is the damping ratio.

The solution to the above harmonic oscillator is

\[ x(t) = \left( x_0 \cos(\Omega t) + \frac{\zeta \omega x_0 + v_0}{\Omega} \sin(\Omega t) \right) e^{-\zeta \omega t}, \]

where

\[ \Omega = \omega\sqrt{ 1 - \zeta^2}. \]

To use this generator,

params = {"omega": omega, "zeta"=0.2}

ho = DampedHarmonicOscillator(params=params)

df = ho(n_periods=1, n_samples_per_period=10)

df will be a pandas dataframe with two columns: t and x.

Bases: HarmonicOscillatorBase

Generate time series data for a simple harmonic oscillator.

In a one dimensional world, a mass \(m\), driven by a force \(F=-kx\), is described as

\[ \begin{align} F &= - k x \\ F &= m a \end{align} \]

The mass behaves like a simple harmonic oscillator.

In general, the solution to a simple harmonic oscillator is

\[ x(t) = A \cos(\omega t + \phi), \]

where \(\omega\) is the angular frequency, \(\phi\) is the initial phase, and \(A\) is the amplitude.

To use this generator,

params = {"omega": omega}

ho = SimpleHarmonicOscillator(params=params)

df = ho(n_periods=1, n_samples_per_period=10)

df will be a pandas dataframe with two columns: t and x.
