<strong>Strain</strong>-<strong>Based</strong> Measurement Introduction:FIGURE 1-27. <strong>The</strong> Second-Order System Mechanical Model:q i InputMassq o OutputSpringK Lbf/InRDamper Lbf/ft/secR proportional to velocityFoundation<strong>The</strong> electrical output <strong>of</strong> the strain-based sensor is a direct <strong>and</strong> proportionalfunction <strong>of</strong> the spring member displacement. For this reason, thefunction q o (t) is taken as being proportional to the output that wouldresult from the second-order sensor structure. <strong>The</strong> velocity <strong>of</strong> the massis defined as dq o (t)/dt <strong>and</strong> the acceleration <strong>of</strong> the mass is defined asd 2 q o (t)/dt 2 . <strong>The</strong> force that the spring will exert upon on the mass will beopposite to the forcing input <strong>and</strong> will equal -K q o (t), where K is thespring constant having units <strong>of</strong> force-per-unit-displacement. <strong>The</strong>mechanical damper will also provide a force that is opposite to the forcinginput as a function <strong>of</strong> the mass velocity <strong>and</strong> will equal -Rdq o (t)/dt,where, R is in units <strong>of</strong> force-per-unit <strong>of</strong> mass velocity.Since Force = mass X acceleration or F = MA, then:MA = S <strong>of</strong> all forces acting upon the massMA = Input force - Spring force - Damping forcedMA = q i () t Ð Kq 0 () t Ð R q0 () t dt(EQ 1-21)CHAPTER 1-52 <strong>The</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Practical</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Precise</strong> <strong>Strain</strong> <strong>Based</strong> Measurement 2nd Edition © 1999
