DUMPED VIBRATIONS

DAMPING

• The vibrations are resisted by

friction force.
• This frictional resistance is called
as damping force.
• The damping element of the body
is represented by the damping
coefficient ‘c’
DAMPING TYPES
FREQUENCY OF FREE DAMPED VIBRATION
FORCES ON THE SYSTEM

• Damping force

• Spring force

• Inertia force
FREQUENCY OF FREE DAMPED VIBRATION

• Equation of motion

• Solving the differential equation,

2. Under damping (imaginary roots)

• Imaginary roots or complex conjugate occur when,

• Underdamping system are the most applicable in real life.

• The system oscillates (at reduced frequency compared to
the undamped case) with the amplitude gradually
decreasing to zero
TYPES OF DAMPING

3. Critical damping (equal roots)

• Critical damping occurs when roots are equal

• Critically damped are find in automobile.

• The system returns to equilibrium as quickly as
possible without oscillating
FREQUENCY VS.
CIRCULAR FREQUENCY
• FREQUENCY • CIRCULAR FREQUENCY
• It is the number of radiant per second.
• It is the number of cycles (repeated movements)
• Unit is rad/s
per second
• The expression for natural circular
• Unit is 𝒔−𝟏 or Hz
frequency is
1 cycle = 2π rad
CRITICAL DAMPING COEFFICIENT

• Critical Damping Coefficient (𝒄𝒄 )

• The damping coefficient at which critical damping
occurs is called a critical damping coefficient
DAMPING RATIO

• The ratio of the actual damping coefficient (c) to the critical damping coefficient (𝐶𝑐 ) is
known as damping factor or damping ratio
• The damping factor is the measure of the relative amount of damping in the existing
system with that necessary for the critical damped system
LOGARITHMIC DECREMENT

• It is defined as the natural logarithm of the amplitude reduction factor

• The amplitude reduction factor is the ratio of any two successive amplitudes on the same
side of the mean position

• Where: a=𝑐Τ2𝑚
