    Simple Harmonic Motion Applications in Engineering Field

    Simple harmonic motion is used in many engineering applications and can involve periodic or random oscillations around an equilibrium point. Vibration can be desirable when it enables the proper functioning of devices like tuning forks or speakers, but is often undesirable as it wastes energy and creates noise. The study of sound and vibration are closely related, as vibrations generate pressure waves that can then induce more vibrations. There are two main types of vibration: free vibration, which occurs when a system vibrates at its natural frequency after an initial input, and forced vibration, which involves continuous excitation at a specific frequency.

    Simple harmonic motion applications in engineering field

    Vibration a mechanical phenomenon whereby oscillations occur aboutan equilibrium point.


    The oscillations maybe periodicsuch a motion of a pendulum or random such as the movement of a
    tire on a gravel road.
    Vibration is aoccasionally [desirable] . for example the motion of a tuning fork, the reed in a
    woodwind intrument or harmonica, or mobile or the cone of aloudspeker is desirable vibration,
    necessary for the correc t functioning of the various devices.
    More often, vibration is desirable, wastng energy and creating un wanted sound- noise.
    The study of sound and vibration are closely related. Sound or presure waves are generated by
    vibration structures (e.g vocal cords), these presure waves canalso induce the vibration structures
    (e.g. ear drum), when trying to reduce noise it is often a problem in trying to reduce vibration.

    Types of vibration

    Free vibration occurs when a mechanical system is set off with an initial input and then allowed to
    vibrate freely. Example of this type of vibratio are pullinga child back on swingand then letting go or
    hitting a tuning fork and letting it ring. The mechanical system will then vibrate at one or moreof its (
    natural frequency) and damp down to zero.
    Forced vibration is when a time -
