For the Pioneer A11EC80-02F 4.5" Fullrange loudspeaker driver discussed in class:

  • Compute the moving mass, mechanical damping coefficient, and spring stiffness of the loudspeaker driver.
  • Given an input harmonic voltage of amplitude 1 V, plot the velocity amplitude in mm/s versus frequency over a frequency ranging from zero to twice the free air natural frequency. Assume that the driver operates in a vacuum.
  • Over the same frequency range, plot the power in milli-Watts dissipated in the coil resistance.

    Solutions in ME413_HW2_Solutions.pdf, and HW2.mcd, (HW2_MathCAD.pdf, if you don't have MathCAD).
