2.4 Free Vibration

An object is freely vibrating when it is initially excited and then free to move without any

long-term, external excitation restraint. Decaying oscillation with a relatively short duration

is caused due to damping. For example, when a child pulls back on a swing and let’s go, the

swing vibrates at its natural frequencies and eventually damps to down to being still with minimal energy.

2.5 Forced Vibration

An object is under forced vibration when the object undergoes external excitation

periodically and attains the same frequency as the forcing function after the decay of initial

transients for example, the swing is pushed on each downswing for the swing to be

excited.

2.6 Practical Applications in Engineering Industry

In the washing machine industry, the design of the machine is always being optimized. Current trends are

towards lightweight designs and cheaper yet high quality materials. But lightweight results into more

oscillatory motion during the spin cycles of the drum. The vibrational effect under one or more SDOF’s (single

degree of freedom) is considered for calibration. Factors considered for the design should be the masses,

dimensions, rotational, speeds etc.)

2.7 Objectives of this Lab

In this lab experiment, two conditions are considered. Firstly, when the spring undergoes natural vibration.

Secondly, when the spring vibrates under a forced vibration. In both cases the displacement time graph is to

be recorded within a time duration of 10 & 15 seconds respectively. The frequency response also needs to be

plotted with respect to amplitude for the forced vibration. While the free vibration is perceived in the time

domain, forced vibration is measured in the frequency domain. The displacement can be compared from ideal

to real values.

3 THEORY

Let us consider a SHM (simple harmonic system) to help us understand the

dynamics under free and forced vibrations when at a SDOF.

∞ Newton’s 2

nd

law says: -

Net force = mass*acceleration

∑F = Ma

Or using “dot” notation or as a function of displacement

∑F = M𝑥̈ [𝑥̈ = 𝑎] [Inertial Force] ( 2 )

∞ Viscous Damping Force (F d

) is proportional to velocity: -

𝑑

= 𝑐𝑥̇ [where c is the constant of proportionality or the damper rate; units: Nsec/m]

[𝑥̇ = 𝑣, 𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦]

∞ Hooke’s Law says: -

F = kx [where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement or change in length] ( 4 )

∞ Since the motion is in the vertical direction, the effect of gravity will not influence the dynamics.

∞ According to D’Alembert’s Principle: -

∑ (Inertial forces + External Forces) = 0

∞ Once we apply Newton’s 2

nd

law to this system, it can be rearranged and converted into standard form

as

∞ The undamped natural frequency of this SHM can be denoted by ω n

and can be calculated as:

3.2 External Sources for Forced Damped Vibration

∞ While the free vibration is perceived in the time domain, forced vibration is

measured in the frequency domain. This emphasizes the magnitude and phase

dependence on frequency and enables the convenient identification of natural

frequencies.

Figure 3 FBD of

Forced Vibration

∞ A typical source of forced vibration in mechanical systems is rotating imbalance. In forced vibration,

large vibrations occur when the forcing frequency, ω, is near a system natural frequency, ω

𝑛

∞ The external force exciting a forced vibration is assumed to be sinusoidal. Considering a sinusoidal or

a harmonic excitation or force acting in the positive direction on the system, any external excitation

force can be thought of as a sum of sinusoidal forces. Hence the force F on the mass m is

6.1 Free Vibration

The spring-mass system when faced with a base excitation, retracts to equilibrium eventually due to damped

force or through the transient moment will decay as time passes. Such a freely damped system can have

transient solutions for a fairly stretched amount of time as the vibration has not reduced from 2secs till 10

seconds in [Figure 15]. The displacement of the wave is proportional to the initial force applied to the system.

Frequency of the free vibration changes with respect to the mass and spring coefficient. As we can see there

is hardly a difference between the natural and the damped frequency as the system is underdamped (the

damping factor was close to 0). The frequencies both, natural and damped, when equal to each other would

create resonance which could impact the spring and further create more vibrations causing the nuts and bolts

to get loose.

6.2 Forced Vibration

The system is an underdamped sinusoidal wave as the damping factor is less than zero. The viscous fluid is

water. From the graph, we can see that due to the sinusoidal movement of the wave, each frequency response

reaches its peak a short time after the forces reaches a peak. The phase angle was calculated to be

approximately 90 deg (exactly 87. 2241

𝑜

) out of phase with a displacement and has the opposite sign from

velocity. So, the delay between the force reaching the peak and the response reaching its peak is almost 90

deg. The viscous damping force is inversely proportional to velocity. The frequencies both, natural and

damped, when equal would create resonance which could impact the spring and further create more vibrations

causing the nuts and bolts to get loose. [Figure 16]

6.3 Frequency Plot

Due to the eccentricity of the rotor, the amplitude is maximum when the speed of the rotor is not too fast

allowing the uneven diameter of the rotor to apply more pressure on the spring. Whereas, when the speed

increases, the rotor spins even quickly such that time allows the damping factor to increase which decreases

the amplitude of the wave. The eccentric nature of the rotor makes the amplitude and frequency plot to be

linear and parabolic, but the consistency of the data sets allows the wave to have a harmonic pattern.

Experience has shown that 10 to 15 iterations are generally adequate to study the trendline of the wave.

[Figure 17 ]

6.4 Risk & Recommendations : -

∞ Risk Assessment form is to be understood and signed by all members of the group before any

professional lab experiment.

∞ Since the tachometer reading is done as the instrument is freely held by hand, there can be an error of

200 – 300 units of RPM to increase or decrease.

∞ The accelerometer reading is manually adjusted and there is no way to automatically set a desired

RPM for the rotor. So, it would be recommended to get a metered accelerometer as an advancement.

∞ As the values of both the natural and the damped frequencies get very close to each other, the vibration

reaches a state of resonance which would affect the grip of the screws resulting it to become loose and

wobbly.

∞ The atmosphere should be calm as the vibrations from our voices could be picked up by the sensors

which can influence the results.
