Lecture 1 Introduction
For example:
1.The swinging of a pendulum.
2.The motion of a plucked string.
At point 1: KE = 0
PE = mgl(1 – cos θ)
At point 2: PE = 0
KE = Max
At point 3: KE = 0
PE = PE @ 1
Classification of Vibration
1. Free Vibration:
2. Forced Vibration:
A system that is subjected to a repeating external force. E.g.
oscillation arises from diesel engines
2. Damped Vibration:
When any energy is lost or dissipated in friction or other resistance
during oscillations
3. Linear Vibration:
When all basic components of a vibratory system, i.e. the spring, the
mass and the damper behave linearly
Classification of Vibration
• Nonlinear Vibration:
If any of the components behave nonlinearly. Most vibration
systems behave nonlinearly with increasing amplitude.
• Deterministic Vibration:
If the value or magnitude of the excitation (force or motion)
acting on a vibratory system is known at any given time
Using the principles of dynamics and free body diagram, derive the
equations that describe the vibration of the system.
Equations are in the form of Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) for the
discrete system and Partial Differential Equation (PDE) for a
continuous systems.
Methods:
1. Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion
2. D’Alembert’s Principle
3. Energy method.
