• Zeroing

Q: What are the important physical principles in
the design of an invasive pressure monitoring
system?
Natural
frequency (FN)
Damping
Frequency at which a
system oscillates most
freely
Tendency for a system to
resist oscillation through
friction
Q: What are the important physical principles in
the design of an invasive pressure monitoring
system?
Natural
frequency (FN)
Frequency at which a
system oscillates most
freely
The FN is the same frequency as the
upstroke of trace  resonance and
overshoot

system?

Damping
Underdamped
D = ~ 0.3
Optimal
D = 0.64
Critical
D = 1.0
Optimal
In a totally undamped
system the system
would oscillate at the
undamped natural
frequency without any
decrease in amplitude
In an underdamped
system, overshoot is
common and the
system oscillates at the
Fn with progressively
diminishing amplitude.
This system would
result in distortion and
over-reading from
overshoot
In an optimally
damped system,
there is only 7 %
overshoot. Ideal
compromise
between minimal
overshoot and
response speed
In a critically
damped system,
damping has
increased to the
point where
overshoot is just
avoided. The
response speed of
this system would
be too slow

Time
delay
All elements of the waveform are
delayed by the same time interval
If the same time delay is applied
to both component waveforms, the
1 Hz waveform will be delayed by
90 and the 2 Hz waveform by
180. Thus the phase delay would
be proportional to the frequency.
This will only occur if damping is
optimal.
