Mechanical Vibration 1
Specific Objectives
At the end of the chapter everyone of you are expected
to understand the following:
Find the responses of undamped and viscously
damped single-degree-of-freedom systems
subjected to different types of harmonic force,
including base excitation and rotating unbalance.
The variations of magnification factor and phase
angles with the frequency of excitation and the
phenomena of resonance
Solve harmonically excited single-degree-of-
freedom vibration problems using Laplace
transforms.

What is Forced Vibration?
A mechanical or structural system is said to undergo
forced vibration whenever external energy is supplied
to the system during vibration.
External energy can be supplied through either an
applied force or an imposed displacement excitation.
The applied force or displacement excitation may be
harmonic, nonharmonic but periodic, nonperiodic, or
random in nature.
The response of a system to a harmonic excitation is
called harmonic response.

Equation of Motion
If a force F(t) acts on a viscously damped spring-mass
system as shown in Fig.

Undamped System Under
Harmonic Force
Consider an undamped system subjected to a harmonic
force, for the sake of simplicity
If a force acts on the mass m of an
undamped system, the equation of motion becomes,

The quantity represents the ratio of the dynamic to
the static amplitude of motion and is called the
magnification factor, amplification factor, or
amplitude ratio.
Case 1. When the denominator is positive
and the response is given without change. The
harmonic response of the system is said to be in
phase with the external force

Case 2. When the denominator is negative, and
the steady-state solution can be expressed as

Since xp(t) and F(t) have opposite signs, the response
is said to be 180° out of phase with the external force.
Further, as
Thus the response of the system to a harmonic force of
very high frequency is close to zero.
Case 3. When the amplitude X becomes infinite.
This condition, for which the forcing frequency is
equal to the natural frequency of the system is called
resonance.
