Free vibration of single degree

of freedom (SDOF)
Chapter 2
Introduction
A system is said to undergo free vibration when
it oscillates only under an initial disturbance
with no external forces acting after the initial
disturbance
Introduction - SDOF
One coordinate (x) is sufficient to specify the
position of the mass at any time
There is no external force applied to the mass
Since there is no element that causes
dissipation of energy during the motion of
the mass, the amplitude of motion remains
constant with time, undamped system
Introduction - SDOF
If the amplitude of the free vibration diminished
gradually over time due to the resistance the
resistance offered by the surrounding medium,
the system are said to be damped
Examples: oscillations of the pendulum of a
grandfather clock, the vertical oscillatory motion
felt by a bicyclist after hitting a road bump, and
the swing of a child on a swing under an initial
push
Free Vibration of an Undamped
Translation System
Equation of Motion using Newtons Second Law
Select a suitable coordinate to describe the
position of the mass or rigid body
Determine the static equilibrium configuration of
the system and measure the displacement of the
mass or rigid body
Draw the free body diagram of the mass or rigid
body when a positive displacement and velocity
are given

FV of an undamped Harmonic
Previous equations are harmonic function of
time
The motion is symmetric about the equilibrium
position of the mass
The velocity is maximum and the acceleration is
zero at the equilibrium position
At the extreme displacement the velocity is zero
and the acceleration is a maximum

Free Vibration of an Undamped
Torsional System
If a rigid body oscillate about a specific reference
axis, the resulting motion is called torsional
vibration
The displacement of the body is measured in
terms of a angular coordinate
The restoring moment may be due to the torsion
of an elastic member or to the unbalanced
moment of a force or couple

position of rest in the
shortest possible time

Example- FV viscous damping
The human leg has a measured natural
frequency of around 20 Hz when in its rigid
(knee-locked) position in the longitudinal
direction ( i.e., along the length of the bone) with
damping ratio of = 0.224. Calculate the
response of the tip of the leg bone to an initial
velocity of v
0
= 0.6m/s and zero initial
displacement ( this would correspond to the
vibration induced while landing on your feet,
with your knee locked from a height of 18 mm.
What is the maximum acceleration experience
by the leg assuming no damping?
Example- FV viscous damping
Highway crash barrier are design to absorb a
vehicles kinetic energy without bringing the vehicle
to such an abrupt stop that the occupants are
injured. Knowledge of the barriers materials
provide the spring constant k and the damping
coefficient c; the mass m is the vehicle mass. For this
application , t=0 denotes the time at which the
moving vehicle contacts the barrier at x=0; thus v(0)
is the speed of the vehicle at the time of contact and
x(0) =0. The applied force is zero. Most of the
barriers resistance is due to the term cv, and it stops
resisting after the vehicle comes to rest; so the
barrier does reverse the vehicle motion. Cont
Example- FV viscous damping
A particular barriers construction gives
k=18000 N/m and c = 20000 N s/m. A vehicle
1800 kg vehicle strikes the barrier at 22 m/s.
Determine how long it takes for the vehicle to
come to rest, how far the vehicle compress the
barrier, and the maximum deceleration of the
vehicle

An underdamped shock absorber is to be design
for a motorcycle of mass 200 kg. When the
shock absorber is subjected to an initial vertical
velocity due to a road bump, the resulting
displacement-time curve is to be as shown. Find
the necessary stiffness and damping constants
of the shock absorber if the damped period is to
be 2 s and the amplitude x
1
is to be reduced to
one-fourth in one half cycle (i.e., x
1.5
= x
1
/4 ).
Also find the minimum initial velocity that leads
to a maximum displacement of 250 mm
Example- Solution
Approach: We use the equation for the logarithm
decrement in term of the damping ratio,
equation for the damped period of vibration,
time corresponding to maximum displacement
for an underdamped system, and envelop
passing through the maximum points of an
underdamped system

Coulomb damping, while it is linear with viscous
damping
The natural frequency of the system is unaltered
with the addition of Coulomb damping, while it
is reduced with addition of viscous damping
The motion is periodic with Coulomb damping,
while it can be nonperiodic in a viscouly damped
(overdamped) system
FV with Coulomb Damping

Coulomb damping, whereas the motion
theoretically continues forever with viscous and
hysteresis damping
The amplitude reduces linearly with Coulomb
damping, whereas it reduces exponentially with
viscous damping
FV with Coulomb Damping

internal planes that slip or slide as the material
deforms is called hysteretic damping
This causes a loop to be formed in the stress-

cycle is equal to the area enclosed by the loop
The energy loss per cycle is independent of the
