constant.
Any periodic function can be expanded into a Fourier series.

How do you connect several springs to increase the overall


stiffness?

motion from the corresponding rotating vector?
Problem 1.3

A reciprocating engine is mounted on a foundation as shown in Fig. 1.63. The unbalanced forces and
moments developed in the engine are transmitted to the frame and the foundation. An elastic pad is
placed between the engine and the foundation block to reduce the transmission of vibration.
Develop two mathematical models of the system using a gradual refinement
of the modeling process
Determine the equivalent spring constant of the system

1.7 Determine the equivalent spring constant of the system


shown in Fig. 1.67
Problem 1.8
1.8 Consider a system of two springs, with stiffnesses and , arranged in parallel as shown in Fig.
1.68. The rigid bar to which the two springs are connected remains horizontal when the force F is
zero. Determine the equivalent spring constant of the system ( that relates the force applied (F) to
the resulting displacement (x) as
Problem 1.20
Figure 1.76 shows a uniform rigid bar of mass m that is pivoted at point O and connected by
springs of stiffnesses k1 and k2. Considering a small angular displacement  of the rigid bar
about the point O, determine the equivalent spring constant associated with the restoring
moment.
Problem 1.65
A flat plate with a surface area of 0.25 moves above a parallel flat surface with a lubricant film of
thickness 1.5 mm in between the two parallel surfaces. If the viscosity of the lubricant is 0.5 Pa-s,
determine the following:

a. Damping constant
b. Damping force developed when the plate moves with a velocity of 2 m/s
Harmonic analysis
Motion of many vibratory systems is not harmonic. However, in many cases
the vibrations are periodic

Fortunately, any periodic function of time can


be represented by Fourier series as an infinite
sum of sine and cosine terms
If x(t) is a periodic function with period , its
Fourier series representation is given by

where is the fundamental


frequency and , , ….., , …. are
constant
coefficients
To obtain and the series is multiplied by cos(nwt) and sin(nwt) respectively and
integrated over one period ()

for example, from 0 to


Then we notice that all terms except one on the right-hand side of the
equation will be zero, and we obtain
e x a m p l e 1.19 Fourier series expansion

Therefore the Fourier series expansion of x(t) is
