Lecture - 8 Forced Vibration

This document summarizes key concepts regarding forced vibration. It defines forced vibration as when a dynamic system is subjected to an external force that is usually time-dependent, such as harmonic, periodic, or random. It then examines the response of undamped and damped systems to a harmonic forcing function through solving the relevant differential equations. Key results shown include the total solution, amplification factor curves, and effects of damping. Practical applications to vibration testing are also briefly discussed.

Forced Vibrations
 A dynamic system is subjected to some type of
external force or excitation called the ‘forcing’ or
‘exciting function’.

 This excitation is usually time dependent and it


may be harmonic, periodic or random in nature.

When   1 the amplitude becomes infinite. This condition

indefinitely.

Total Solution

The totalsolution of the differential equation is


the sum of the exponential functions found from the
complementary function (which are just the same as for free
damped vibration) and the cosine function of the
particular integral defined by X and  as above.

The effects of the exponential terms will be damped out


shortly after the start of the vibration (referred to as the
transient vibration) leaving only the effect of the particular
integral term (referred to as the steady state vibration).
Total Solution

 It is the steady state vibration that is of most interest to us


in a forced vibration, the amplitude and phase of which has
been defined in our equations for X and  above.
Amplification factor
 The quantity X/st is called the
amplitude ratio, the amplification factor
or the magnification factor, and it is
shown plotted against /n in the figure
on next slide. The phase angle plot is
also shown.
Amplification factor and phase angle plot
Some points about forced vibration
 If = 0 (no damping) the phase angle  is zero below
resonance and 180 degree above resonance
 Damping reduces the amplitude ratio for all values of the
forcing frequency.
 The reduction of the amplitude ratio in the presence of
damping is very significant at or near resonance.
 It may be shown that the maximum amplitude ratio occurs
when
 f   n 1  2 2
which is lower than the undamped natural frequency, n, and
the damped frequency,
d  n 1   2

In a vibration test, if the maximum amplitude of vibration is


measured, the damping ratio of the system may be found using
this equation.

Rotating Unbalance
 A common source of vibration in
rotating machinery is unbalance.
Consider the machine shown here.
 We assume that only vertical motion
is possible (i.e. single degree of
freedom model). The unbalance is
represented by an eccentric mass, m,
with eccentricity, e, rotating with
angular velocity, ω rad/s.

Example
The vehicle has a mass of 1200
Kg, a suspension system spring
constant of 400 kN/m and a
damping ratio of 0.5. The road
surface varies sinusoidally with an
amplitude of 0.05 m and a
wavelength of 6 m. If the vehicle
speed is 100 km/hour what is the
displacement amplitude of the
vehicle?
Method: 1. Find ωn
2. Find ω 3. Calculate X/Y
Solution

n    18.2574 rad/s
m 1200
Speed = v = 100 Km/hour = 27.7778 m/s

f = v/ λand ω = 2πf
Thus ω = 29.0888 rad/s
