Vibration Engineering
Vibration - is the periodic motion of a body or system of connected bodies displaced from a
position of equilibrium.
Degrees of Freedom
- The minimum number of independent coordinates required to determine completely the
positions of all parts of a system at any instant time.
Free Vibration
- Occurs when the motion is maintained by gravitational or elastic restoring forces.
Forced Vibration
- Is caused by an external periodic or intermittent force applied to the system.
Undamped Vibration
- No energy is lost or dissipated in friction or other resistance during oscillation.
Damped Vibration
- Energy is lost or dissipated in friction or other resistance during oscillation.
Linear Vibration
- All the basic components of a vibratory system.
- Spring, mass, damper
- Behaves linearly
Nonlinear Vibration
- Some of the basic components of a vibratory system.
- Spring, mass, damper
- Behaves nonlinearly
Deterministic and Random Vibration
Deterministic Vibration
- The value of magnitude or excitation (force or motion) acting on a vibratory system is
known at any given time.
Random Vibration
- The value of excitation at a given time cannot be predicted.
