Vibration simple harmonic motion concept


Single Degree of Freedom Systems
The single degree-of-freedom system is so interesting to

study because it gives us information on how a systems characteristics are influenced by different quantities.
Fig. shows a mechanical single degree-of-freedom (sdof)

system consisting of a rigid mass m, a spring with spring rate k, and a viscous damper with a damping coefficient dv. The spring and the viscous damper are located between the mass and the foundation, and are considered to be massless.

1. MECHANICAL POWER
A harmonically-varying dependencies force and velocity have respective time

cos(t ) + F sin(t ) = F cos(t + ) = Re( F e i (t + F ) ) F (t ) = F F 1 2


1 cos( t ) + v 2 sin( t ) = v cos( t + v ) = Re( v e i (t + v ) ) v (t ) = v

From fundamental mechanics, the instantaneous mechanical power can be calculated from

W (t ) = F (t )v(t ) = Re(F(t )) Re( v (t )) =

= (F(t ) v(t ) + F(t ) * v(t ) * + F(t ) v(t ) * + F(t ) * v(t ))/ 4,
which can be expressed in the form

(3)

W (t ) = (Re( F (t ) v (t )) + Re( F (t ) v (t ) * )) / 2 =
v v e i 2t +i F +i v ) / 2 + Re( F e i F i v ) / 2 = = Re( F
(4)

v (cos(2t + F + v ) + cos( F v ))/ 2 =F


Typically, it is the time average of the power that is of interest, and which corresponds to the power that is fed into a mechanical system. The time average of the first term, above, is zero, so that the timeaveraged power can be expressed as

where the over-bar indicates time-averaging. Thus,

W=

(6)

From equation (6), it is evident that maximal power is delivered when force and velocity are in phase, i.e., F = v , whereas no power, at all, is delivered when the phase shift between those quantities is 90. In that latter case, one can speak of the force being 90 ahead of the velocity, F - v = 90, or 90 behind the velocity, v - F = 90.

2. LINEAR SYSTEMS
Often in Vibrations our interest resides in the calculation of what effect a certain physical quantity, called the input signal, has on another physical quantity, called the output signal.

Figure 1 A linear time-invariant system describes the relationship between an input signal and an output signal. For example, the input signal could be a velocity v(t), and the output signal a force F(t), or the input signal an acoustic pressure p(t) and the output signal an acoustic particle velocity u(t).

From a purely mathematical standpoint, a linear system is defined as one in which the relationship between the input and output signals can be described by a linear differential equation. If the coefficients are, moreover, independent of time, i.e., constant, then the system is also time invariant. A linear system has several important features. The superposition principle implies that if the input signal a(t) gives rise to an output signal b(t), and the input signal c(t) gives rise to an output signal d(t), then the input signal a(t)+c(t) yields the output signal b(t)+ d(t). The homogeneity principle states that if the input signal a(t) is multiplied by a constant a, then the output signal is b(t). A linear system is also frequency-conserving, in the sense that only those frequency components that exist in the input signal can exist in the output signal.

The figure shows an example in which the forces that excite an automobile are inputs to a number of linear systems, the outputs from which are vibration velocities at various points in the structure. The vibration velocities are then, in turn, inputs to a number of linear systems, the outputs from which are sound pressures at various points in the passenger compartment. By adding up the contributions from all of the significant excitation forces, the total sound pressures at points of interest in the passenger compartment can be found. In this case, the linear system is described in the frequency domain by so-called frequency response function. Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee

The engine is fixed to the chassis via vibration isolators. If the force F1 that influences the chassis can be cut in half, then, for a linear system, all vibration velocities v1 vN caused by the force F1 are also halved. In turn, the sound pressures p1 pN, which are brought about by the velocities v1 vN, are halved as well. With the simplifying assumption that all of the forces acting on the car are uncorrelated, and that those forces are the only sound sources acting, it implies that if all of them can be reduced by 5 dB, then both the linear sound pressure level Lp and the A-weighted sound pressure level LA, are reduced by 5 dB Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee

Two degree-of-freedom systems

The simple single degree-of-freedom system can be


coupled to another of its kind, producing a mechanical system described by two coupled differential equations

To each mass, there is a corresponding equation of motion


(see Figure). To specify the state of the system at any instant, we need to know time t dependence of both coordinates, x1 and x2, from which follows the designation two degree-offreedom system.

(ii) a diagonal element in the stiffness or damping matrix is the sum of the spring rates or damping coefficients, respectively, of all springs / dampers connected to the mass indicated by the row number of the element. (iii) an off-diagonal element at a specific row and column position in the stiffness or damping matrix has the opposite (negative) of the value of the spring rate or damping coefficient, respectively, for the connection between the mass indicated by the row number and that indicated by the column number.

Frequency response functions
A frequency response function is defined as the relation between an output signal Y() from a linear system, expressed as a function of the circular frequency w, and the corresponding input signal X(),

H ( ) = Y( ) X( )
In other words, it can be interpreted as the proportionality constant in the linear relation between the complex input and output amplitudes. It is one of the most important quantities used in the analysis of sound and vibration problems. If the input signal is a force on a structure, knowledge of the frequency response function permits the computation of the resulting vibration at different points in the structure; if the input signal is a pressure at a point in a ventilation duct, it permits the calculation of the sound pressure at the outlet.

Damping
For a single degree-of-freedom system, we have thus far only used the viscous damping coefficient dv or the damping constant to describe the losses. For structures, it is more common to use the so-called loss factor to describe the influence of different types of damping. In order to demonstrate how the loss factor is defined, it will be useful to first introduce energy quantities for a single degree-of-freedom system.

Vibration Monitoring Equipment

In principle, only a vibration signal is required for machine monitoring. It has been found, however, that tachometer signals, synchronized with various axle speeds of interest, give valuable information for the vibration signal processing. Since machine monitoring requires high quality vibration signals, it is recommended to spend some time on selecting suitable sensors and sensor locations. In general, the sensors should be placed as close to the monitored element as possible. Also, the sensor should be oriented in a direction where the vibration from the monitored element is most significant.

The most important signal acquisition system parameters


are the frequency resolution, the bandwidth and the dynamic range.

A successful monitoring often requires high frequency


bands measured with very high resolution in order to resolve and identify the vibration signature components. Also the high frequency components are often weak as compared to the low frequency components.

Accurate results in these cases require a data acquisition


system with sufficiently high dynamic range. Both these problems are particularly severe for low speed bearings Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee

When the accelerometer, which is firmly mounted to the measurement object, is subjected to vibrations along its axis of symmetry, the mass gives rise to a force that varies as the acceleration varies. That force deforms the piezoelectric discs, which then produce, because of their piezoelectric properties, a charge on the surfaces of the discs proportional to the force, and thereby to the acceleration as well. Piezoelectric accelerometers are connected to preamplifiers, the primary purpose of which is to match the high output impedance of the accelerometer to the low input impedance of the measurement system.

The main equipment used to measure and analyze


vibrations includes a vibration level meter, level recorder, audio recorder and frequency analyzer. A frequency that qualifies as vibration pollution is a 1/3 octave band center frequency in the 1 ~ 80 Hz range, therefore a data recorder capable of recording from low (DC) frequencies is preferable as the audio recorder.

pickup that senses the vibrations comes in piezoelectric and electrodynamic types, but the piezoelectric type is normally used for vibration pollution measurements. A piezoelectric pickup uses a piezoelectric material (normally ceramic) that flexes and subsequently generates a charge when force is applied to it. An electrodynamic pickup uses a coil that moves within a magnetic field to create an exciting force proportional to the velocity of the movement.
The output terminals of the vibration level meter are found The

in the three locations of X, Y and Z, which are based on the directions of vibration. Each can output vibrations in the respective direction. Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee

It is also possible to select between sensation-weighted VL

and un-weighted VAL. Z is the vertical direction to the XY plane. Only vibrations in the Z direction are treated as vibration pollution. In selecting X and Y axes, one approach is to use the measurement point as the origin, while another is to use the direction of movement of the vibration source as the origin. With this former, the direction from the surveyor to the vibration source is taken as the X axis, but, if the vibration is obviously unidirectional, that direction of vibration may be taken as the X axis.
The vibration level meter has input terminals for input from

the pickup and for external input. Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee
