Study Notes
Vibration Concepts
- Energy Exchange: Transfer of energy between kinetic and potential forms during vibration.
- Logarithmic Decrement: Decay of amplitude over time in a damped vibration.
- Factors Affecting Damping Ratio: Damping and frequency.
- Forced Vibration: Vibration occurring when an external force is continuously applied.
- Resonance: Point of maximum forced vibration amplitude, in phase with the exciting force.
- Inertia Force: Force required to displace a vibrating system from its equilibrium position.
- Resonant Frequency: Frequency at which a system naturally vibrates without external forces.
- Period: Time taken for one complete vibration cycle.
- Damping Ratio: Ratio of actual damping to critical damping.
- Beat Frequency: Difference in frequency between two interacting vibrations.
- Initial Conditions: Starting displacement and velocity of a vibrating system.
- Mode Shape: Spatial pattern of vibration exhibited by a structure at a particular mode.
- Underdamped System: System with a damping ratio less than one.
- Factors Affecting Natural Frequency: Mass and stiffness.
- Free Vibration: Motion of a swing moving back and forth freely.
- Frequency (from period): If a mass-spring system oscillates with a period of 2 seconds, its frequency is 0.5 Hz.
- Amplitude: Maximum displacement from equilibrium position during vibration.
- Magnification Factor: Ratio of forced vibration amplitude to exciting force amplitude.
- Beat Frequency (phenomenon): Occurs when an external force frequency is slightly different from the system's natural frequency.
- Damping: Energy lost by a vibrating system due to friction and dissipation.
- Logarithmic Decrement (time): Time taken for a system to reach 63.2% of its maximum displacement during a damped vibration.
- Damping Ratio (measure): Measures how quickly a vibrating system loses energy over time.
