Undamped vibrations
Equation of motion by balance of inertial force mx and elastic force kx withmass m and stiffness k,
mx + k x = 0 (1.1)
Obtain normalized equation by division by m
x + ω2
0 x = 0 (1.2)
where the natural angular frequency ω0 is defined by
ω0 =
√
k
m(1.3)
Note that the (angular) frequency is determined by
ω2
0 =‘stiffness′
‘mass′
In many problems ‘stiffness’ and ‘mass’ can be estimated by use of energymethods.
Solution

Damped vibrations
Include energy dissipation through damping force cx,
mx(t) + c x(t) + k x(t) = 0 (1.7)
Note, that all three parameters m, c, k are positive, when the forces arerestoring.
Normalize equation by division by m
x + 2ζω0 x + ω2

using the natural angular frequency ω0,
ω0 =

k
m(1.9)
and the damping ratio ζ,
ζ =c
2√km
(1.10)
The characteristics of the free vibration behavior depends on the magnitudeof the damping ratio ζ.
Solutions
The free vibration solution is of exponential type and is found by substitutionof the partial solution x(t) = Aeλt into the homogeneous equation of motion,yielding the characteristic equation
λ2 + 2ζω0λ + ω2
0 = 0 (1.11)
There are three different cases of damped vibrations, depending on the mag-nitude of the damping ratio ζ. The solutions are given below for initialconditions (x, x)t=0 = (x0, v0).
Underdamped, 0 < ζ < 1 :
Two complex roots of characteristic equation, λ = ω0(−ζ ± i√

The period of the oscillatory factor in damped free oscillations is Td = 2π/ωd.
Critically damped, ζ = 1 :
The characteristic equation has the real double root, λ = −ω0, and in thiscase the amplitude A is replaced by a linear function A+Bt.
x(t) = [ x0 + (ω0x0 + v0) t ] e−ω0t (1.15)
Overdamped, 1 < ζ :
The characteristic equation has two real roots λ = ω0(−ζ ±√
ζ2 − 1). In-troducing the parameter ωd = ω0

Underdamping can also be characterized by the decrease in amplitude fromone maximum to the next. The ratio between any two maximum valuesfollowing each other is constant, and the logarithmic decrement is definedas

NOTE: Lightly damped structures may have ζ as low as 0.001 .
Energy balance
Form the rate of work by multiplication of the equation of motion with x,

Rewrite as time derivative,

)
= −c x2 ≤ 0 (1.20)
This defines the mechanical energy E as
E = Ekin + Eel (1.21)
with kinetic energy
Ekin = 1
2mx2 (1.22)
and elastic energy
Eel = 1
2k x2 (1.23)
The mechanical energy of undamped free vibrations is constant.
When the motion can be described (estimated) by a single degree of freedom,the equation of undamped motion can be determined from the time derivativeof the mechanical energy.

Structure of time-stepping algorithm
The exact solution (xn, xn) can be obtained at discrete times 0,∆t, 2∆t, · · ·by starting at the initial conditions (x0, x0) and multiplying with the matrixA, found above, in each step.
y0 = (x0,∆t x0)T
for i = 0 : n− 1
yi+1 = Ayi
(x,∆t x) = yT
Table 1.1: Direct time-stepping algorithm.
NOTE: The simplicity of the algorithm is obtained because the naturalfrequency and damping ratio is known. For multi-degree-of-freedom systems,this procedure requires a modal analysis, described later.
Exercise 1.1
The natural frequency of a single-degree-of-freedom-system depends on theratio of ‘stiffness’ to ‘mass’. For a simple mass–spring system the relation isω2
0 = k/m.
a) For the beam shown in the figure the force-displacement relation for atransverse force at the end is
F = 3EI
l3u
What is the natural frequency for transverse vibrations of a heavy massM fixed to the end of the beam, when the mass of the beam is neglected.
b) Let the mass M = 1000 kg be supported by a beam of length l = 10m. What is the bending stiffness EI necessary to give the frequencyf = 2.0 Hz.
Figure 1.6: Beam supporting a mass M .
Exercise 1.2
Consider the massm supported by a spring with stiffness k. The motion of themass m is described by x. The mass of the spring ms is small relative to themass m, and therefore the motion of the spring is quasi-static. This impliesthat the spring extends uniformly. Thus, the left end point is a rest, whilethe right end point moves x. A non-dimensional coordinate ξ is introducedsuch that the spring is described by 0 ≤ ξ ≤ 1. This implies that the motionof a point described by the position ξ is ξx.
a) Find the total kinetic energy of the mass m and the spring in terms of x.
b) Use energy balance to find an expression for the natural angular fre-quency ω0.
c) The contribution from the spring can be included as an extra contribu-tion to the effective mass meff ,
ω2
0 = k/meff with meff = m + (?)ms
Find the coefficient (?) of the spring mass.
Figure 1.7: Beam supporting a mass M .
Exercise 1.3
The figure shows a water column of total length l and cross-section area A.The mass density is ρ. When the water surface at the left side is displacedthe distance x downward, the water surface at the right side is lifted the samedistance x and conversely. The system is exposed to downward gravitationwith acceleration constant g.
a) Express the potential energy Epot and the kinetic energy Ekin as functionof x and x, respectively.
b) Use an energy balance argument to find an expression of the naturalangular frequency ω0.
c) The angular frequency ω0 is independent of the mass density ρ. Why?

The motion of the fluid may be constrained, whereby damping is introduced.This device can be used as damper of ship roll motion.
Summary
• Examples have been given of structures that often exhibit dynamic be-havior and must be analyzed for dynamic effects.
• Free vibrations of a single degree-of-freedom system constitute an ex-change between potential and kinetic energy. The time scale is charac-terized by the natural angular frequency ω0.
• The square of the natural (angular) frequency is determined by the ratio‘stifness’/‘mass’, i.e. ω2
0 = k/m.
• Damping is charactized by the non-dimensional damping ratio ζ, de-scribing attenuation per vibration cycle. Vibrations with ζ < 1 are‘underdamped’ and may have damping ratio as low as 0.001.
• Damping may be measured from attenuation of free vibration responsein terms of the logarithmic decrement δ = 2πζ.
• The equation of motion may be considered as the time derivative ofan energy balance equation. For simple systems with distributed massor stiffness the equation of motion may be obtained from the energybalance relation.
• The displacement and velocity may be combined into a state vector
(x, x) describing the response of the system. Initial conditions and re-sponse are conveniently represented in a phase-plane.
