FREE VIBRATION

Free vibrations
-are oscillations about a system’s equilibrium position
that occur in the absence of an external excitation.
- a result of a kinetic energy imparted to the system or
of a displacement from the equilibrium position that leads
to a difference in potential energy from the system’s
equilibrium position.

•Equation of motion
Differential equation governing any
SDOF system

Equation of motion for free vibration.

F=0 since free vib. occur in the absence
of any forcing

•Natural frequency of motion

frequency at which the undamped

free response occurs naturally.

•Damping Ratio • Roots of characteristic equation

•Standard form of equation of motion

- Is supplemented by two initial conditions:

FREE VIBRATION OF AN UNDAMPED SYSTEM

The undamped motion of a SDOF system is simple harmonic motion

•Free response of undamped system

Where:
A = amplitude of motion
n = natural frequency
φ = phase angle
