Free Vibrations in SDOF Systems

This document discusses free vibrations in single degree of freedom mechanical systems. It covers: 1) Examples of single degree of freedom systems including pendulums, bicycles hitting bumps, and swinging children. 2) Modeling mechanical systems as single point masses and springs to simplify analysis. 3) Undamped free vibrations of translational spring-mass systems using D'Alembert's principle and the equation of motion. 4) Aspects of spring-mass systems including equilibrium positions and measuring displacement from static positions.

INTRODUCTION
 A system is said to undergo free vibration when it oscillates only under an initial disturbance
with no external forces acting afterward.
 Some examples are the oscillations of the pendulum of a grandfather clock, the vertical
oscillatory motion felt by a bicyclist after hitting a road bump, and the motion of a child on a
swing after an initial push.
 Several mechanical and structural systems can be idealized as
single-degree-of-freedom systems

 In many practical systems, the mass is distributed, but for a


simple analysis, it can be approximated by a single point mass

 Similarly, the elasticity of the system, which may be distributed


throughout the system, can also be idealized by a single spring

D’ ALEMBERT’S PRINCIPLE

 It is principle in mechanics which states that the reaction due to the inertia of an accelerated body
(as a baseball) is equal and opposite to the force causing the acceleration (as the blow of a bat
upon the baseball) and results in a condition of kinetic/dynamic equilibrium
VERTICAL MASS SPRING SYSTEM
VERTICAL MASS SPRING SYSTEM
 At rest, the mass will hang in a position called the static equilibrium position, in which the
upward spring force exactly balances the downward gravitational force on the mass

 This indicates that when a mass moves in a vertical direction, we can ignore its weight, provided
we measure x from its static equilibrium position

FREE UNDAMPED VIBRATIONS OF SDOF TORSIONAL SYSTEMS

 Angular vibration of any object twisted about its axis,


alternating from one direction to the other is called
torsional vibration

 In this case, the displacement of the body is measured in


terms of an angular coordinate

 The restoring moment may be due to the torsion of an


elastic member or to the unbalanced moment of a force or
couple

 Let the angular rotation of the disc about the axis of the
shaft be θ

 In viscous damping, the damping force is proportional to the velocity of the vibrating body
