Vibration definition
Vibration : Any motion that repeats itself after an
interval of time is called vibration or oscillation.
The swinging of a pendulum and the motion of a plucked string are typical examples of vibration. The study of vibration deals with the study of oscillatory motions of bodies and the forces associated with them.

From Encyclopedia Britannica:


periodic back-and-forth motion of the particles of an elastic body or medium, commonly resulting when almost any physical system is displaced from its equilibrium condition and allowed to respond to the forces that tend to restore equilibrium.

Why study vibration?


Vibrations can lead to excessive deflections and failure on the machines and structures To reduce vibration through proper design of machines and their mountings To utilize profitably in several consumer and industrial applications (quartz oscillator for computers, vibration conveyor,
electric tooth brushes, electric massaging unit)

To improve the efficiency of certain machining, casting, forging & welding processes To stimulate earthquakes for geological research and conduct studies in design of nuclear reactors

Brief History of Vibration Greek philosopher & mathematician Pythagora (582-507BC): first to study musical sound on a scientific basis. He conducted experiments on a vibrating string by using a simple apparatus called a monochord. He further developed the concept of pitch.

pitch = property of sound that varies with variation in the frequency of vibration = frequency of a given tone

Classification of Vibration

1. Free Vibration: A system is left to vibrate on its own after an initial disturbance and no external force acts on the system. E.g. simple pendulum 2. Forced Vibration: A system that is subjected to a repeating external force. E.g. oscillation arises from diesel engines - Resonance occurs when the frequency of the external force coincides with one of the natural frequencies of the system

Example 1.1 Mathematical Model of a Motorcycle


Fig 1.18(a) shows a motorcycle with a rider. Develop a sequence of three math. models of the system for investigating vibration in the vertical direction. Consider the elasticity of the tires, elasticity and damping of the struts (in the vertical direction), masses of the wheels, and elasticity, damping, and mass of the rider.

Example 1.1 Solution We start with the simplest model and refine it gradually. When the equivalent values of the mass, stiffness, and damping of the system are used, we obtain a singledegree of freedom model (1 DOF) of the motorcycle with a rider as indicated in Fig. 1.18(b). In this model, the equivalent stiffness (keq) includes the stiffness of the tires, struts, and rider. The equivalent damping constant (ceq) includes the damping of the struts and the rider. The equivalent mass includes the mass of the wheels, vehicle body and the rider.

Example 1.1 Solution This model can be refined by representing the masses of wheels, elasticity of tires, and elasticity and damping of the struts separately, as shown in Fig. 1.18(c). In this model, the mass of the vehicle body (mv) and the mass of the rider (mr) are shown as a single mass, mv + mr. When the elasticity (as spring constant kr) and damping (as damping constant cr) of the rider are considered, the refined model shown in Fig. 1.18(d) can be obtained.
