THE SOMMERFELD EFFECT

Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration - Year 2015, Vol 12, Issue 1

Abstract

The Sommerfeld effect is a universal phenomenon which appears as a result of the law of energy conservation. Arnold Sommerfeld discovered this phenomenon in 1902, while making an experiment with a cantilever beam connected with an energy source at its free end. He detected the change of energy between the source and the beam. He observed that the motor has a speed which remains the same until it suddenly jumps to a much higher value when the driving frequency is closer to the natural frequency of the beam and the drive power increases further. Its amplitude jumps to a much lower value upon exceeding a critical input power.
