The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes,


is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its causes.

Fundamental of Vibration

• Most engineering structures vibrate :

Cars, aircraft, machinery, fan, turbomachinery

• Lighter material is developed and widely used

• Faster transportation vehicle needed.


Example: Aircraft Vibration

Physical Components of Vibration:

1. Mass – Store of Kinetic Energy

2. Stiffness – Store of Potential Energy mass

3. Damping – Dissipate Energy

4. Force – Provide Energy stiff ness damping


All this course assume that the forces and resulting motion are in
time harmonic: periodic motion that repeats at regular interval.

F (t)
Written as :

x (t) = X cos(ωt +φ) x (t)


For short, we just write :

x t   Xe jt

where :

cosωt ± sinωt
e± jωt = mass
Three important terms in vibration measurements:

• Amplitude –
How much
x (t) = X cos(ωt +φ)
• Frequency –
How fast

• Phase – How it is vibrating


Amplitude

Frequency

Phase
Amplitude

Is the level of vibration from


‘equilibrium’ position.
max Amplitude :

ymax = A

instantaneous Amplitude

y =B
(t = to)
• Frequency

Is the number of cycles per second (Hertz)

f = 1

T
T is the period: time
required to complete 1
cycle
• Phase
Any part of the path described by a particle or body in making a complete
vibration

• Displacements
The distance travel by the mass, how far up and down it is moving

• Velocity
Rate change of displacement. For example, how far it can cover in one
second

• Accelerations
Rate change of velocity. How quickly the mass is speeding up or slowing
down
• Displacements

x (t ) =
Xejωt

• Velocity

dx (t) dt
v (t) = =x= jωXe jωt
• Accelerations

dv (t) dt
a (t) = = x = −ω2 Xejωt
Types of
Vibration F (t)
• Free Vibration

NO external forces act on the system


mass
• Forced Vibration

Forces act on the system

• Damped/Undamped Vibration

Damping does / doesn’t exist

Modelling

Degree of freedom: number of independent coordinates to describe the


motion

Coordinates may be:


• Displacement of some points
• Rotation
• Other (modal amplitudes, wave, etc.)

Number depends on:


• How complex the system is
• Modelling simplifications + assumptions (How we decide to model it)
