Applied Mechanics 2A
Introduction
Rigid body
Linear and angular motion
Oscillates
Responds to applied disturbances
Structures to earthquakes
Vibrations of unbalanced rotating machinery etc.
Simplified model very accurate some
protions of a continuous system are massive
in comparison with other portions
1-D vibrations for this chapter
Applied Mechanics 2A
Free vibrations of particles
• Spring mounted body
disturbed from equilibrium
position
absence of imposed external
forces = free vibration
• Retarding forces excluded for
example friction

Equations of motion for un-damped
free vibrations

Graphical representation of motion
• Motion graphically x is seen to be the
projection onto a vertical axis of a rotating vector
of length C
• Vector rotates at constant angular velocity n
• Number of complete cycles per unit time = natural
frequency fn = n/2
• f hertz (Hz)
• Time to complete one motion cycle = Period =
1/ fn = 2/n

Damped Free vibrations
• Every system possesses a
degree of friction
dissipates mechanical enegy
viscous damper intentionally
added to a system to limit
vibration
• Constant of proportionality c
viscous damping
coefficient N.s/m
• Damping force is directed as
to oppose the velocity

Forced vibrations of particles
• Motion excited by disturbing force
• Force internally or externally generated
• May be caused by motion of the foundation of
the system
Applied Mechanics 2A
Harmonic Excitation
• Consider a body excited by an external force
F = F0 sin t; F0 = force amplitude & = driving
frequency
• Don’t mix up the two frequencies
