From Mechanical to Electrical Variables<br />

MECHANICAL VARIABLE ELECTRICAL ANALOGUE<br />

Force (F) Voltage (V)<br />

Velocity (v) Current (I)<br />

Compliance (1/keq) Capacitance (Cm)<br />

Damping (ceq) Resistance (Rm)<br />

Mass (meq) Inductance (Lm)<br />

• Mechanical variables can be made to correspond to equivalent<br />

electrical variables in order to model the behavior of a<br />

mechanical resonator with st<strong>and</strong>ard LCR parameters, <strong>for</strong> which<br />

well established electronic circuit design techniques already<br />

exist.
