Complementary Function
Complementary Function is a mathematical concept used to solve the differential equation of under damped forced vibrations, providing a complete solution.
Symbol: x1
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Amplitude of Vibration
Amplitude of Vibration is the maximum displacement of an object from its equilibrium position in a vibrational motion under external force.
Symbol: A
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Circular Damped Frequency
Circular Damped Frequency is the frequency at which an under damped system vibrates when an external force is applied, resulting in oscillations.
Symbol: ωd
Measurement: FrequencyUnit: Hz
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Phase Constant
Phase Constant is a measure of the initial displacement or angle of an oscillating system in under damped forced vibrations, affecting its frequency response.
Symbol: ϕ
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
cos
Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Syntax: cos(Angle)

How to Evaluate Complementary Function?

Complementary Function evaluator uses Complementary Function = Amplitude of Vibration*cos(Circular Damped Frequency-Phase Constant) to evaluate the Complementary Function, Complementary Function formula is defined as a mathematical representation of the oscillatory motion of a system under the influence of an external force, describing the frequency of under damped forced vibrations, where the system's natural frequency is affected by the damping force and the external force. Complementary Function is denoted by x1 symbol.

FAQs on Complementary Function

What is the formula to find Complementary Function?
The formula of Complementary Function is expressed as Complementary Function = Amplitude of Vibration*cos(Circular Damped Frequency-Phase Constant). Here is an example- 1.689698 = 5.25*cos(6-0.959931088596701).
How to calculate Complementary Function?
With Amplitude of Vibration (A), Circular Damped Frequency d) & Phase Constant (ϕ) we can find Complementary Function using the formula - Complementary Function = Amplitude of Vibration*cos(Circular Damped Frequency-Phase Constant). This formula also uses Cosine (cos) function(s).
Can the Complementary Function be negative?
No, the Complementary Function, measured in Length cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Complementary Function?
Complementary Function is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Complementary Function can be measured.
