29.1.3 Second Order Systems

 

· Basically these systems tend to vibrate simply. This vibration will often decay naturally. The contrast is the first order system that tends to move towards new equilibrium points without any sort of resonance or vibration.

·

 

· Some basic relations,

 

 

· These generally have an effects on the Bode plot that are very evident.

 

 

· Under the influence of damping, the natural frequency will shift slightly,

 

 

· To continue the example with numerical values
