Important Notes:
The course notes were compiled
mostly from
1) The book by Graham Kelly,
“Mechanical Vibrations,
Theory and Applications”,
2012.
2) Bruel Kjaer Technical notes,
3) Dan Russel’s webpage:

Vibration parameters
All mechanical systems
can be modeled by
containing three basic
components:
spring, damper, mass
Equilibrium pos.
Forced Vibration
If an external force applied to a
system, the system will follow the
force with the same frequency.
However, when the force
frequency is increased to the
’ system’s natural frequency,
amplitudes will dangerously
increase in this region. This
phenomenon called as
“Resonance”

Example 3:
DOF= 3 if body 1 has no rotation
SDOF DOF=2 DOF= 4 if body 1 has rotation
body 1
What are their DOFs?

Helical springs Shear stress:

Springs in combinations:
Parallel combination Series combination
Elastic elements as springs
Moment of Inertia
What are the equivalent stiffnesses?
Example
A 200-kg machine is attached to the end of a cantilever beam of length L=
2.5 m, elastic modulus E= 200x109 N/m2, and cross-sectional moment of
inertia I = 1.8x10–6 m4. Assuming the mass of the beam is small compared to
the mass of the machine, what is the stiffness of the beam?
Damping
