Vibration Engineering

Vibration is the periodic motion of a body or system displaced from equilibrium. A vibrating system consists of a mass, spring, and damper which store kinetic, potential, and dissipate energy respectively. Degrees of freedom refer to the number of independent coordinates needed to describe the system. Single degree of freedom systems include slider-crank mechanisms and spring-mass systems. Vibration can be discrete/lumped with a finite number of degrees of freedom or continuous/distributed with an infinite number. Vibration is classified as free or forced depending on whether it is caused by restoring forces or external periodic forces, and as damped or undamped depending on whether energy is lost through friction. Vibration behavior can also be linear or

Basic Concepts

Vibration - is the periodic motion of a body or system of connected bodies displaced from a
position of equilibrium.

Elementary Parts of Vibrating Systems


1. Spring or Elasticity (k)
- A means for storing potential energy.
2. Mass or Inertia (m or J)
- A means for storing kinetic energy.
3. Damper (c)
- A means by which energy is gradually lost

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.

Single DOF Systems


1. Slider-Crank Mechanism
2. Spring-Mass System
3. Torsional System

Two DOF Systems

Three DOF Systems


Infinite DOF Systems

Discrete and Continuous Systems

Discrete/Lumped Parameter Systems


- Systems with a finite number of DOF.
Continuous/Distributed Systems
- Systems with an infinite number of DOF.

Free and Forced Vibration

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 and Damped Vibration

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 and Nonlinear Vibration

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.
