*LINEAR SYSTEMS

 A linear system is defined as one in which the

relationship between the input and output
signals can be described by a linear differential
equation.
 Often in Vibrations and Acoustics,
the calculation of the effect of a certain physical
quantity termed as the input signal on another
physical quantity, called the output signal.
*SINGLE-DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM
SYSTEMS

 Discrete System Components A system is

defined as an aggregation of components acting
together as one entity. The component relating
forces to displacements is known as a spring.
 Viscous damper or a dashpot The component
relating forces to velocities is called a viscous
damper or a dashpot. The relation between the
damper force and the velocity of the
piston relative to the cylinder is in which c is the
coefficient of viscous damping; note that dots
denote derivatives with respect to time.
 where m is the mass.

 The spring constant k, coefficient of viscous

damping c, and mass m represent physical
properties of the components and are thesystem
parameters..
 Equivalent spring constant Springs can be
arranged in parallel and in series. Then, the
proportionality constant between the forces and
the end points is known as an equivalent spring
constant and is denoted by keq, as shown in Table
below:
 Certain elastic components, although distributed
over a given line segment, can be regarded as
lumped with an equivalent spring constant given
by keq = F/δ, where δ is the deflection at the point
of application of the force F. A similar relation
can be given for springs in torsion. Table given
above lists the equivalent spring constants for a
variety of components.
 Equation of Motion The dynamic behavior of
many engineering systems can be approximated
with good accuracy by the mass-damper spring
model.

 which is subject to the initial conditions

x(0)=x0, ẋ(0)=v0, where x0 and v0 are the initial
displacement and initial velocity,
respectively.
 Equation given above is in terms of a single
coordinate. namely x(t) is therefore said to be
a single-degree-of-freedom system.
