VIBRATIONS & ELEMENTS OF AEROELASTICITYTWO MARK QUESTION AND ANSWER

1. What is simple harmonic motion? The motion of a body to and fro about a fixed point is called simple harmonic motion. The motion is periodic and its acceleration is always directed towards the mean position and is proportional to its distance from mean position. 2. Explain the term natural frequency? When no external force acts on the system after giving it an initial displacement the body vibrates. These vibrations are called free vibrations and their frequency as natural frequency as natural frequency. it is expressed in rad!sec or "ert#. $. %efine the term resonance? When the frequency of external excitation is equal to the natural frequency of a vibrating body the amplitude of vibration becomes excessively large. This concept is &nown as resonance. '. Explain free and forced vibration? (fter disturbing the system the external excitation is removed then the system vibrates on its own. This type of vibration is &nown as free vibration. )imple pendulum is one of the examples. The vibration which is under the influence of external force is called forced vibration. *achine tools electric bells are the suitable examples. +. %efine damped and undamped vibration? ,f the vibratory system has a damper the motion of the system will be opposed by it and the energy of the system will be dissipated in friction this type of vibration is called damped vibration. -n the contrary the system having no damper is &nown as un damped vibration.
