Transient state
The transient, Eng. transient, is taking place in an oscillatory system after installing a forced excitation transition from the idle state to the steady state forced vibration.
Basics
The transient is generally asymptotically. When Settling often denotes the length of time that elapses until the size considered no longer leaves the range of ± 10 % around the final value. For linear vibration systems, the settling time is inversely proportional to the Abklingkoeffizienten. In response systems and filtering the transient therefore the longer it takes, the lower its frequency bandwidth. The settling of band filters for example, limited the Analysiergeschwindigkeit of spectrum analyzers that operate according to the principle of superposition. In the transient linear vibration systems exponentially damped natural oscillation and the steady forced oscillation superimposed with such values of the free parameters, amplitudes and phases that the initial conditions are satisfied. For special initial conditions of the transient may disappear, but in general it is necessary for reasons of continuity. For a quantitative treatment of transients in linear systems particularly the Laplace transform is, because on the one hand, the differential equations to be solved replaced by algebraic equations and on the other hand takes into account the initial conditions from the outset.
Now known to very fast, pulse -like, electric or acoustic transients with the word transients. These are higher-frequency, steep signals ( vibrations ).
Examples
In acoustics and music, it is often the transient, such as the painting of a bow string that uniquely identifies the sound of an instrument for our ears.
As a quality requirement applies in the control engineering, the time that elapses until a system follows with only a small deviation of a step function and is called the step response.
