    Mechanical Vibrations: Fall 2016

    Uploaded by

    MuhammadKhizarSiddique
    This document discusses key concepts in mechanical vibrations from a lecture at the University of Engineering and Technology Lahore. It defines important terms like frequency of oscillation, natural frequency, and phase angle. The lecture introduces harmonic analysis, explaining that any periodic function can be represented by a series of harmonically related sine and cosine terms. It provides examples of periodic functions and discusses using numerical integration like the trapezoidal rule to calculate the coefficients needed to represent a periodic function through harmonic analysis.

    Equivalent mass (inertia)

    Harmonic motion
    Definitions: Cycle, Amplitude and Period of oscillation

    Definitions

    Frequency of oscillation: The number of cycle per unit time is called


    frequency of oscillation

    Sometimes f is also referred as linear frequency and its units are hertz

    Natural frequency: If a system is left to vibrate on its own after initial


    disturbance, then the frequency with which is vibrates is called natural
    frequency

    Phase angle: Amount of angle by which one signal leads or lags by


    another signal of same frequency
    3

    Phase angle
    Lets consider two signals of same frequency:

    New Topic:

    Harmonic Analysis

    Any periodic function can be represented by a series of sin and cosine


    which are harmonically related

    Here

    When is a function f(t) periodic though?

    A function is periodic if there is a positive, constant, and finite

    Note:

    is called the period of the function

    such that

    Periodic Functions, Examples

    Coefficients calculation

    Coefficients calculation
    Application of numerical integration (trapezoidal rule) gives us following
    formulas for coefficients
