1.4 Basic Concepts of Vibration
Vibration = any motion that repeats itself after
an interval of time
Vibratory System consists of:
1) spring or elasticity
2) mass or inertia
3) damper
Involves transfer of potential energy to kinetic
energy and vice versa

2005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd.

1.4 Basic Concepts of Vibration
Degree of Freedom (d.o.f.) =
min. no. of independent coordinates required
to determine completely the positions of all
parts of a system at any instant of time

are termed continuous or distributed systems

22
1.5 Classification of Vibration
Free Vibration:
A system is left to vibrate on its own after an
initial disturbance and no external force acts on
the system. E.g. simple pendulum
Forced Vibration:
A system that is subjected to a repeating
external force. E.g. oscillation arises from diesel
engines
Resonance occurs when the frequency of the
external force coincides with one of the
natural frequencies of the system

2005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd.
23
1.5 Classification of Vibration
Undamped Vibration:
When no energy is lost or dissipated in friction
or other resistance during oscillations
Damped Vibration:
When any energy is lost or dissipated in
friction or other resistance during oscillations
Linear Vibration:
When all basic components of a vibratory
system, i.e. the spring, the mass and the
damper behave linearly
2005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd.
24
1.5 Classification of Vibration
Nonlinear Vibration:
If any of the components behave nonlinearly
Deterministic Vibration:
If the value or magnitude of the excitation (force
or motion) acting on a vibratory system is
known at any given time
Nondeterministic or random Vibration:
When the value of the excitation at a given
time cannot be predicted

Example 1.1
Mathematical Model of a Motorcycle
Figure 1.18(a) shows a motorcycle with a rider.
Develop a sequence of three mathematical
models of the system for investigating vibration in
the vertical direction. Consider the elasticity of the
tires, elasticity and damping of the struts (in the
vertical direction), masses of the wheels, and
elasticity, damping, and mass of the rider.
2005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd.
29
Example 1.1 Solution
We start with the simplest model and refine it
gradually. When the equivalent values of the
mass, stiffness, and damping of the system are
used, we obtain a single-degree of freedom model
of the motorcycle with a rider as indicated in Fig.
1.18(b). In this model, the equivalent stiffness (k
eq
)
includes the stiffness of the tires, struts, and rider.
The equivalent damping constant (c
eq
) includes
the damping of the struts and the rider. The
equivalent mass includes the mass of the wheels,
vehicle body and the rider.

30
Example 1.1 Solution
2005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd.
31
Example 1.1 Solution
This model can be refined by representing the
masses of wheels, elasticity of tires, and elasticity
and damping of the struts separately, as shown in
Fig. 1.18(c). In this model, the mass of the vehicle
body (m
v
) and the mass of the rider (m
r
) are
shown as a single mass, m
v
+ m
r
. When the
elasticity (as spring constant k
r
) and damping (as
damping constant c
r
) of the rider are considered,
the refined model shown in Fig. 1.18(d) can be
obtained.

Example 1.1 Solution

33
Example 1.1 Solution
Note that the models shown in Figs. 1.18(b) to (d)
are not unique. For example, by combining the
spring constants of both tires, the masses of both
wheels, and the spring and damping constants of
both struts as single quantities, the model shown
in Fig. 1.18(e) can be obtained instead of Fig.
1.18(c).

Torsional Spring Constant of a Propeller Shaft
Determine the torsional spring constant of the
speed propeller shaft shown in Fig. 1.25.
2005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd.
41
Example 1.3 Solution
We need to consider the segments 12 and 23 of
the shaft as springs in combination. From Fig.
1.25, the torque induced at any cross section of
the shaft (such as AA or BB) can be seen to be
equal to the torque applied at the propeller, T.
Hence, the elasticities (springs) corresponding to
the two segments 12 and 23 are to be considered
as series springs. The spring constants of
segments 12 and 23 of the shaft (k

Using mathematical model to represent the
actual vibrating system
E.g. In figure below, the mass and damping
of the beam can be disregarded; the system
can thus be modeled as a spring-mass
system as shown.

Equivalent Mass of a System
Find the equivalent mass of the system shown in
Fig. 1.31, where the rigid link 1 is attached to the
pulley and rotates with it.
2005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd.
56
Example 1.6 Solution
Assuming small displacements, the equivalent
mass (m
eq
) can be determined using the
equivalence of the kinetic energies of the two
systems. When the mass m is displaced by a
distance , the pulley and the rigid link 1 rotate by
an angle . This causes the rigid link 2
and the cylinder to be displaced by a distance
. Since the cylinder rolls without
slippage, it rotates by an angle .
The kinetic energy of the system (T) can be

1.9 Damping Elements
Viscous Damping:
Damping force is proportional to the velocity of
the vibrating body in a fluid medium such as air,
water, gas, and oil.
Coulomb or Dry Friction Damping:
Damping force is constant in magnitude but
opposite in direction to that of the motion of the
vibrating body between dry surfaces
Material or Solid or Hysteretic Damping:
Energy is absorbed or dissipated by material
during deformation due to friction between
internal planes

Example 1.9 Solution
The damping constant of the dashpot can be
determined using the shear stress equation for
viscous fluid flow and the rate of fluid flow
equation. As shown in Fig. 1.36(a), the dashpot
consists of a piston diameter D and length l,
moving with velocity v

in a cylinder filled with a
liquid of viscosity . Let the clearance between the
piston and the cylinder wall be d. At a distance y
from the moving surface, let the velocity and shear
stress be v and , and at a distance (y + dy) let the
velocity and shear stress be (v dv) and ( + d),
respectively (see Fig. 1.36b).
