Transfer Function approach is used extensively in
design but is limited to linear, time-invariant systems.
SDOF Transfer Function
1. T.F. method to express output relative to input
2. T.F. system property independent of the nature
of excitation
3. T.F. contains necessary units but does not provide
physical structure of system
4. If T.F. is known, then response can be evaluated
due to various inputs
5. If T.F. is unknown, it can be established
experimentally by measuring output response due to
known measured inputs

This sign convention is simpler and useful for the given angle .
Thus,
Consider a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) torsional
system. The system consists of a shaft of torsional
stiffness K, a disk of mass-moment of inertia J, and a
torsional damper B. Derive the differential equation.
Solution. Applying the moment equation about the mass center
along the longitudinal axis.

Example Cart-Pendulum Problem
Consider the pendulum system
shown attached to a horizontal
cart
This is a mixed problem. First solve the pendulum and
then the cart translation.
Cart moves horizontally on
frictionless surface. Mass on
inextensible string
The general moment about point P (where the string is
attached to the cart mass) is needed to sum the forces
for Newtons Second Law.
