Basic Nomenclature and Terms Used

Free vibration:
• System oscillation under action of forces inherent
in system and external forces absent

• Vibration occurs at one or more of the system

natural frequencies

• Natural frequencies are dynamic characteristics

Forced vibration:

• System oscillation under action of external forces

• If excitation is oscillatory, then the response will

occur at the excitation frequency

• If excitation occurs at one of the natural

frequencies, then the condition of resonance
occurs

Damping:
• All dynamic systems are subject to dissipative
forces - friction, structural resistances

• Generally, damping in structural systems is small

and has little effect on the natural frequency

• However, damping has a large effect on

minimizing the resonance of any structural system

Degrees of Freedom (DOF):

• the number of independent coordinates necessary to specify

the configuration or position of a system at any time is referred
to as the number of degrees of freedom.

• A rigid body will have 6 DOF to describe its

motion - 3 translation and 3 rotation

Harmonic Motion
Oscillatory Motion:
• Motion that repeats in regular intervals of time
is called periodic motion

Harmonic motion can best be seen in the figure

with the amplitude and period noted
