1. Introduction

1.1. A harmonic motion has a circular frequency 2.5 rad/s. For each of the following
initial conditions, write down the equation of motion and plot it over one cycle.
a) x (0) = 4 mm, x (0) = 0.
b) x (0) = - 4 mm, x (0) = 0.
c) x (0) = 0, x (0) = 15 mm/s.
d) x (0) = 0, x (0) = - 15 mm/s.
e) x (0) = 4 2 mm, x (0) = 10 2 mm/s.
f) x (0) = 4 2 mm, x (0) = - 10 2 mm/s.

1.2. A harmonic motion is described by the equation:


x = 15 sin (3t + 3/4) - 20 cos (3t - /6),
where x is in mms and t is in seconds. Analytically and graphically determine:
a) The amplitude.
b) The phase angle.
Also, determine the displacement, velocity and acceleration at t = 5 seconds.

1.3. For each of the following periodic functions, determine the frequency and then plot
the function over one cycle.
a) x = 3 cos 50t + 5 cos 20t,
b) x = 4 cos 25t + 3 sin 50t,
where x is mms and t is in seconds.

1.4. Determine the harmonic analysis (Fourier analysis) of each of the periodic functions
shown in Fig. 1.

Answers to Exercise 1

1.1 a) x = 4cos(2.5t) mm

b) x = 4cos(2.5t - 180 ) mm

c) x = 6cos(2.5t - 90 ) mm

d) x = 6cos(2.5t - 270 ) mm

e) x = 8cos(2.5t - 45 ) mm

f) x = 8cos(2.5t + 45 ) mm
1.2 The amplitude = 21.67 mm

The phase angle = 108


The displacement at (t = 5 seconds) = -8.316 mm
The velocity at (t = 5 seconds) = 60.04 mm/s
The acceleration at (t = 5 seconds) = 74.84 mm/s2
1.3 a) The frequency = 5 Hz
b) The frequency = 3.979 Hz
