Q. 1. What is damping? Ans. Damping is the resistance offered by a body to the motion of a vibratory system. The resistance may be applied to liquid or solid internally or externally At the start of the vibratory motion the amplitude of vibration is maximum wkij6es on decreasing with time. The rate of decreasing amplitude depends upon the amount of damping. Q. 2. Classify different types of damping. Ans. Types of Damping 1. Viscous 2. Coulomb 3. Structural 4. Non-linear, Slip or interfacial damping 5. Eddy current-damping 1. Viscous damping: When the system is allowed to vibrate in viscous medium the damping is called viscous Viscosity is the property of the fluid by virtue of which it offers resistance to moment of one over the other. The force F required . to maintain the velocity x of plate is given by:

The force F can also be written as:

where c is called viscous damping coefficient From (1) and (2),

The main components of viscous damper are cylinder, piston and viscous fluid.

The damping resistance depends upon pressure difference on both sides of piston in viscous medium. The clearance is left between piston and cylinder walls. More the clearance, more will be the velocity of piston and less will be the value of viscous damping coefficient.

and B = specific damping capacity 2. Coulomb Damping: When a body is allowed to slide over the other body the surface of o offers resistance to the movement of 9Lod over it. This resisting force is called force of friction.

coefficient of friction

Some of the energy is wasted in friction and amplitude of vibrations goes on decreasing. Such type of damping is called coulomb damping. 3. Structural damping : This type of damping arises because of intermolecular friction beti- the molecules of structure which opposes its movement. The magnitude of this damping is very small as compared to other damping. Elastic materials during loading and unloading from a loop or stress strain curve known as_hysteresis loop. The area of this loop gives the amount of energy dissipated in one cycle during vibrations. This is also called hysteresis damping. The energy loss per cycle is given as;

If energy dissipated is treated equal to energy dissipated by viscous damping then;

The damping force, F =

The amplitude decay is of exponential nature. 4. &on-linear, p or Interfacial damping : Machine elements are connected through various joints and microscopic slip occurs over the joints of machine elements which usdisspoint of energy when machine elements are in contact with fluctuating load. The energy dissipated per cycle depends upon coefficient of friction, pressure at contacting surface and amplitude of vibration. There is an optimum value of contact pressure at which energy dissipated is maximum for different amplitudes.

5. Eddy current damping : If a non-ferrous conducting object (e.g. plater d etc.) moves in a direction perpendicular lines of magnetic flux is produced by current is induced in the object.1iiiiIrent is proportional to vlocity of the object. The current induced is called eddy current which set up its own magnetic field opposite to original magnetic field that has induced it. This provides resistance to motion object It forms magnetic field . This type of damping produced by eddy currents is called eddy current damping. it is used in vibrometers and in some vibration control systems.

Ans. Rate of Decay of oscillation: Let 1A be the amplitude of body from mean position to start and after half cycle, let x be its amplitude. The velocity of mass =0 at two extreme positions. (Refer Fig. 3.9) Therefore, total energy of the system at two extreme positions be

The difference between the two energies must be equal to energy dissipated or work done against friction.

Q. 6. Differentiate between Coloumb and Viscous damping. Ans. Differences between Viscous damping & Coulomb damping 1. In case of viscous damping ratio of any two successive amplitudes is constant whereas in coulomb damping difference between two successive amplitudes is constant. 2. In viscous damping envelope of the maximas in displacement-time plot is an exponential curve here as in coulomb damping envelope of maximise of displacement-time plot is a straight line. 3. In case of viscous damping the body once disturbed and from equilibrium position will come to rest in equilibrium position although it make theoretically infinite time to do so Whereas in case of coulomb damping the body may finally come to rest in equilibrium position or in displaced position depending upon initial amplitude and amount of friction present.

Critical damping constant and damping ratio The critical damping c is defined as value of damping coefficient c for which

This motion is also called a periodic motion. When t =0, x = A1 + A2. This system is non-vibratory in nature. When once the system is disturbed, it will take infinite time to come back to the equilibrium condition. The values of A1 and A2 can be found by initial conditions.

An underdamped system is an oscillatory system whose amplitude decreases with time. Theoretically the system will never come to rest although the amplitude of vibration may be very very small.

Q. 8. What is the importance of critical damping? Ans. Out of the three modes the vibrating body which has been displaced from its mean position would come to state of rest in smallest possible time without overshooting i.e. without executing oscillation about mean position in critical damping mode. So critical damping is used for practical applications in large guns so that after firing the returning to original position in minimum time without vibrating and ready for next firing without delay. If damping provided is overdamped or underdamped, then there will be delay. This property is also design of an instrument
