Introductory Remarks
Until now our SDOFs were described as composed by a single mass connected to a xed reference by means of a spring and a damper. While the mass-spring is a useful representation, many dierent, more complex systems can be studied as SDOF systems, either exactly or under some simplifying assumption. 1. SDOF rigid body assemblages, where exibility is concentrated in a number of springs and dampers, can be studied, e.g., using the Principle of Virtual Displacements and the DAlembert Principle. 2. simple structural systems can be studied, in an approximate manner, assuming a xed pattern of displacements, whose amplitude (the single degree of freedom) varies with time.

Further Remarks on Rigid Assemblages

Generalized SDOFs Giacomo Bo Introductory Remarks

Today we restrict our consideration to plane, 2-D systems. In rigid body assemblages the limitation to a single shape of displacement is a consequence of the conguration of the system, i.e., the disposition of supports and internal hinges. When the equation of motion is written in terms of a single parameter and its time derivatives, the terms that gure as coecients in the equation of motion can be regarded as the generalised properties of the assemblage: generalised mass, damping and stiness on left hand, generalised loading on right hand. m x + c x + k x = p (t)

Further Remarks on Continuous Systems

Generalized SDOFs Giacomo Bo Introductory Remarks

Continuous systems have an innite variety of deformation patterns. By restricting the deformation to a single shape of varying amplitude, we introduce an innity of internal contstraints that limit the innite variety of deformation patterns, but under this assumption the system conguration is mathematically described by a single parameter, so that our model can be analysed in exactly the same way as a strict SDOF system, we can compute the generalised mass, damping, stiness properties of the SDOF system.

Final Remarks on Generalised SDOF Systems

Generalized SDOFs Giacomo Bo Introductory Remarks Assemblage of Rigid Bodies

From the previous comments, it should be apparent that everything we have seen regarding the behaviour and the integration of the equation of motion of proper SDOF systems applies to rigid body assemblages and to SDOF models of exible systems, provided that we have the means for determining the generalised properties of the dynamical systems under investigation.

Assemblages of Rigid Bodies


planar, or bidimensional, rigid bodies, constrained to move in a plane, the exibility is concentrated in discrete elements, springs and dampers, rigid bodies are connected to a xed reference and to each other by means of springs, dampers and smooth, bilateral constraints (read hinges, double pendulums and rollers), inertial forces are distributed forces, acting on each material point of each rigid body, their resultant can be described by
a force applied to the centre of mass of the body, proportional to acceleration vector and total mass M = dm a couple, proportional to angular acceleration and the moment of inertia J of the rigid body, J = (x2 + y2 )dm.

Lets start with an example...


Consider a cantilever, with varying properties m and EJ, subjected to a load that is function of both time t and position x, p = p(x, t). The transverse displacements v will be function of time and position, v = v(x, t)

... and an hypothesis


To study the previous problem, we introduce an approximate model by the following hypothesis, v(x, t) = (x) Z(t), that is, the hypothesis of separation of variables Note that (x), the shape function, is adimensional, while Z(t) is dimensionally a generalised displacement, usually chosen to characterise the structural behaviour. In our example we can use the displacement of the tip of the chimney, thus implying that (H) = 1 because Z(t) = v(H, t) and

Principle of Virtual Displacements

Generalized SDOFs Giacomo Bo Introductory Remarks

For a exible system, the PoVD states that, at equilibrium, WE = WI . The virtual work of external forces can be easily computed, the virtual work of internal forces is usually approximated by the virtual work done by bending moments, that is WI M where is the curvature and the virtual increment of curvature.

are accettable shape functions for our example, as 1 (0) = 2 (0) = 0 and 1 (0) = 2 (0) = 0 better results are obtained when the second derivative of the shape function at least resembles the typical distribution of bending moments in our problem, so that between 1 = constant and x 2 cos 2 = 4H2 2H

the second choice is preferable.

Vibration Analysis

Generalized SDOFs Giacomo Bo Introductory Remarks

The process of estimating the vibration characteristics of a complex system is known as vibration analysis. We can use our previous results for exible systems, based on the SDOF model, to give an estimate of the natural frequency 2 = k /m A dierent approach, proposed by Lord Rayleigh, starts from dierent premises to give the same results but the Rayleighs Quotient method is important because it oers a better understanding of the vibrational behaviour, eventually leading to successive renements of the rst estimate of 2 .

Assemblage of Rigid Bodies Continuous Systems Vibration Analysis by Rayleighs Method Selection of Mode Shapes Renement of Rayleighs Estimates

Rayleighs Quotient Method


Our focus will be on the free vibration of a exible, undamped system. inspired by the free vibrations of a proper SDOF we write Z(t) = Z0 sin t and v(x, t) = Z0 (x) sin t, the displacement and the velocity are in quadrature: when v is at its maximum v = 0 (hence V = Vmax , T = 0) and when v = 0 v is at its maximum (hence V = 0, T = Tmax , disregarding damping, the energy of the system is constant during free vibrations, Vmax + 0 = 0 + Tmax

Rayleighs Quotient Method


in Rayleighs method we know the specic time dependency of the inertial forces fI = m(x) = m(x) Z0 (x) sin t v fI has the same shape we use for displacements. if were the real shape assumed by the structure in free vibrations, the displacements v due to a loading fI = 2 m(x)(x)Z0 should be proportional to (x) through a constant factor, with equilibrium respected in every point of the structure during free vibrations. starting from a shape function 0 (x), a new shape function 1 can be determined normalizing the displacements due to the inertial forces associated with 0 (x), fI = m(x)0 (x), we are going to demonstrate that the new shape function is a better approximation of the true mode shape

Selection of mode shapes

Generalized SDOFs Giacomo Bo Introductory Remarks

Given dierent shape functions i and considering the true shape of free vibration , in the former cases equilibrium is not respected by the structure itself. To keep inertia induced deformation proportional to i we must consider the presence of additional elastic constraints. This leads to the following considerations the frequency of vibration of a structure with additional constraints is higher than the true natural frequency, the criterium to discriminate between dierent shape functions is: better shape functions give lower estimates of the natural frequency, the true natural frequency being a lower bound of all estimates.

Selection of mode shapes 2

Generalized SDOFs Giacomo Bo Introductory Remarks

In general the selection of trial shapes goes through two steps, 1. the analyst considers the exibilities of dierent parts of the structure and the presence of symmetries to devise an approximate shape, 2. the structure is loaded with constant loads directed as the assumed displacements, the displacements are computed and used as the shape function, of course a little practice helps a lot in the the choice of a proper pattern of loading...
