Introduction to Vibrations Any motion that repeats itself after an interval of time is called vibration or oscillation. Examples of vibration are we hear because our eardrums vibrate we see because light waves undergo vibration breathing is vibration of lungs walking involves oscillatory motion of legs and hands we speak due to the oscillation of tongue destruction of Tacoma Narrows bridge 83 Mechanical Vibrations A vibratory system includes mass (to store kinetic energy), spring (to store potential energy), and damper (means by which energy is gradually lost.). Degrees of Freedom Degrees of Freedom is the minimum number of independent coordinates required to determine completely the positions of all parts of a system at any instant of time. For example, a free particle undergoing general motion in space has three degrees of freedom (x,y,z) a rigid body in space has six degrees of freedom (three components for position and three components for orientation) a continuous elastic body has infinite number of degrees of freedom The coordinates necessary to describe the motion of a system constitute a set of generalized coordinates.

. Categories of Vibrations Discrete versus Continuous Systems Systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom are called discrete systems or lumped parameter systems. Systems with an infinite number of degrees of freedom are called continuous systems or distributed systems. Most of the time, continuous systems are approximated as discrete systems, and solutions are obtained in a simpler manner. Free versus Forced Vibrations Free vibration is vibration of a system, after an initial disturbance, is left to vibrate on its own without external force acting on the system. Forced vibration is vibration of a system that is subjected to an external force. The system under free vibration will vibrate at one or more of its natural frequencies. When the system is excited (forced), the system is forced to vibrate at the excitation frequency. Undamped versus Damped Vibrations If no energy is lost or dissipated in friction or other resistance during oscillation, the vibration is known as undamped vibration. If any energy is lost in this way, it is called damped vibration. Linear versus Nonlinear Vibrations A linear system obeys principle of superposition shown in Figure 3. If the system does not obey principle of superposition, the system is said to be nonlinear system and hence having nonlinear vibration. au u y Vibrating System u y Vibrating System + bu ay + by Vibrating System Figure 3: Principle of superposition of a linear system. 83 Mechanical Vibrations Deterministic versus Random Vibrations Vibration that results from excitation (force or motion) that can be predicted at any given time is called deterministic vibration. If the excitation at a given time cannot be predicted, the vibration is called nondeterministic or random vibrations. Harmonic Motion Figure 4: Deterministic and random excitations Harmonic motion is motion of an oscillating system that vibrates at one fixed frequency. Consider Figure 5, the harmonic motion can be represented by a vector OP of magnitude A rotating at a constant angular velocity ω. The projection of the tip of the vector OP on the vertical axis is given by y = Asin ωt, and the projection on the horizontal axis is given by x = Acos ωt. If we replace the x-y plane with a complex plane where x-axis represents real axis and y-axis represents imaginary axis, we can write the vector OP in complex format as Z = x+ iy = Acosωt+ i Asin ωt, where i =. 6 Copyright 7 by Withit Chatlatanagulchai

(6) x = Acosωt We can see from both (6) and (7) that the acceleration vector leads the velocity vector by 9 degrees, and the velocity vector leads the displacement vector by 9 degrees as shown in Figure 6.

3 Periodic Motion Periodic motion is motion of an oscillating system that vibrates at several different frequencies simultaneously. Examples of periodic motions are the vibration of a violin string is composed of the fundamental frequency f and all of its harmonics, f,3 f, and so on free vibration of a multidegree-of-freedom system, to which the vibrations at each natural frequency contribute. 83 Mechanical Vibrations Example 3: [5] Find the Fourier series of the following periodic function f ( x) k, < x< = k,< x< f with f ( x+ ) = f ( x) ( x) k 3. Fourier Series A French mathematician J. Fourier (768-83) showed that any periodic signal can be approximated by a series of sines and cosines that are harmonically related. Any periodic signal with period Fourier series τ = L can be approximated by the nx nx f ( x) = a + ancos + bnsin. n= L L (8) a,, a n and b n are called Fourier coefficients with following equations x k L a = f ( x) dx, L L L n x an = f ( x) cos dx, L L L L n x bn = f ( x) sin dx.

4 Vibration Terminology Certain terminologies used in vibration analysis are as follows. Peak Value generally means the maximum value of a vibrating body. Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a vibrating body from its equilibrium position. Average Value or Mean Value indicates a steady or static value. It can be found by the time integral x = lim xt () dt. T T If the signal x( t ) is periodic, the formula above reduces to T 83 Mechanical Vibrations Example 4: [4] Find the mean value and the mean square value of the following signals: a) x t) = Asin t ( b) a rectified sine wave x( t) Asin t t where τ is the period of the signal x( t ). τ x = xt () dt, τ () Mean Square Value is the average of the squared values, integrated over some time interval T T = T T () x lim x t dt. If the signal x( t ) is periodic, the formula above reduces to τ x x t dt, where τ is the period of the signal x( t ). () = τ () 4 Copyright 7 by Withit Chatlatanagulchai

Solution a) Since the signal ( ) sin x t = A t has period, 83 Mechanical Vibrations using (), we get Using (), we have x = Asint dt =. () x = x t dt = A sin A cost = dt A = t sin t 4 A = A =. ( ) t dt b) Since the rectified sine wave has period, using (), we get x = Asin t dt A A = ( cos t ) =. 5 Copyright 7 by Withit Chatlatanagulchai

Using (), we get x = x t dt = A = A () sin t dt cos t dt A = t sin t 4 A = A =. Root Mean Square Value is the square root of the mean square value Decibel is a unit of measurement that is frequently used in vibration measurements. It is defined in terms of a power ratio p db = log. p Since power is proportional to the square of the amplitude or voltage, we have x x x x db = log = log. 83 Mechanical Vibrations Thus an amplifier with a voltage gain of 5 has a decibel gain of ( ) log 5 = + 4. Octave is any frequency span with the maximum value twice the minimum value. For example, each of the ranges 8-6 Hz, - Hz, 3-6 Hz can be called an octave. Cycle describes the movement of a vibrating body from its undisturbed or equilibrium position to its extreme position in one direction, then to the equilibrium position, then to its extreme position in the other direction, and back to equilibrium position. Period of Oscillation is the time taken to complete one cycle of motion τ =, ω when ω is called the circular frequency. Frequency of Oscillation is the number of cycles per unit time ω f = =. τ Phase Difference generally means the phase difference between two signals. Consider x = Asin ωt, x = A sin t+, ( ω φ ) the phase difference is φ that means the maximum of the second vector would occur φ radians earlier than that of the first vector. Natural Frequency is the frequency of any system left to vibrate on its own without external force. A vibratory system having n degrees of freedom has n distinct natural frequencies of vibration. Beating Phenomenon describes motion resulting from adding two harmonic motions with frequencies close to each other. For example, if we add the two signals 6 Copyright 7 by Withit Chatlatanagulchai
