Undamped Free Vibration Analysis

This document discusses undamped free vibration and provides examples. It explains that for an undamped single degree of freedom system undergoing free vibration, the equation of motion is mü + ku = 0. The solution is that the displacement u(t) is the sum of an initial displacement term and an initial velocity term, both involving the natural frequency ωn=√(k/m). An example calculates the natural frequency of a building as 1.62 seconds based on the roof mass and column stiffness. The document provides an overview of undamped free vibration and worked examples to illustrate the concepts and calculations.
