VIBRATIONS – BASIC

DEFINITIONS
WHAT IS VIBRATION?•
VIBRATIONS ARE OSCILLATIONS OF A SYSTEM ABOUT AN EQUILBRIUM
POSITION
Basic Definitions
Periodic Motion: A motion that repeats itself after
equal interval of time.

Time Period: Time taken for one complete cycle.

Simple Harmonic Motion: Motion of particle with time


that moves round a circle with uniform angular velocity.
Trigonometric functions can be used to represent such
motion.
Amplitude (Z or 2Z): The maximum displacement of a vibrating
body from its mean position. The amplitude can either be single
amplitude (Z) when the distance from mean position to maximum
displacement is measured or double amplitude (2Z) when the
distance from negative maximum to positive maximum displacement
(motion) is measured.

Frequency: It is the number of cycles per unit time. Frequency and


time period are inversely proportional to each other. A vibratory
motion can have either a very high frequency or a very low frequency.
Frequency can be expressed either as angular (circular) frequency
(ω) or oscillatory frequency (f). ω is expressed in radians per second
and f is expressed in cycles per second or Hertz.
Damping: It is the resistance to motion. It is also the sluggishness.
Hence it is the delay in response to any action. Damping is observed
only under fast loading, and not during static loading.

Degree of freedom: The number of independent coordinate


systems required to specify a motion. If the motion is in one direction
due to the vibration of a single spring, then it is a Single degree of
freedom system. If a particle is likely to vibrate in space, it will have
six degrees of freedom, namely three translations and three
rotations along three axis. A continuum can have infinite degrees of
freedom.
Phase difference : The angle between two rotating vectors
representing Simple Harmonic Motion, In time domain, it can
be represented as the delay in one motion compared with
the other.

Wave : It is the vibratory motion of a body or a particle


represented in time domain or space domain. For
representing a one dimensional wave mathematically, the
partial differential equation is given by,
