Such a system is capable of detecting the mechanical vibrations in a very short period of time as well as being sensitive enough to detect minimum displacements and over a very broad range of
vibrational amplitudes.
As
the vibrational amplitude decreases, the rate suddenly changes and the modes become decoupled, resulting in comparatively low decay rates, thus in very giant quality factors exceeding 1 million.
The team took the system, forced it out - of - equilibrium using a driving force, and subsequently switched the force off to measure
the vibrational amplitude as the energy of the system decayed.
The decay is well known to be linear, as it does not depend on
the vibrational amplitude.
Not exact matches
At these frequencies, even small periodic driving forces can produce large
amplitude oscillations, because the system stores
vibrational energy.»
An increased
amplitude «
Vibrational mode» (no matter how arrived at) amounts to a «higher temperature» locally.
