VIBRATION
• A body is said to vibrate if it has a to-and-fro motion.
• vibrations are due to elastic forces.
• Whenever a body is displaced from its equilibrium position,
work is done on the elastic constraints of the forces on the
body and is stored as stain energy.

TYPES OF VIBRATIONS
Longitudinal Vibrations
If the shaft is elongated and shortened so that the same moves up and down
resulting in tensile and compressive stresses in the shaft, the vibrations are
said to be longitudinal.

Transverse Vibrations
• When the shaft is bent alternately and tensile and compressive stresses due
to bending result, the vibrations are said to be transverse. The particles of the
body move approximately perpendicular to its axis.

Downloaded from Ktunotes.in

Torsional Vibrations
When the shaft is twisted and untwisted alternately and torsional shear
stresses are induced, the vibrations are known as torsional vibrations. The
particles of the body move in a circle about the axis of the shaft.

 BASIC FEATURES OF VIBRATING SYSTEMS
For mathematical analysis of a vibratory system, it is necessary to have an
idealized model of the same which appropriately represents the system.
Basic Elements
inertial and restoring and damping elements
Inertial elements
These are represented by masses for rectilinear motion and moment of inertia for angular
motion.
Restoring Elements
Massless linear or torsional springs represent the restoring elements for rectilinear and
torsional motions respectively.
Damping Elements
Massless dampers of rigid elements may be considered for energy dissipation in a
system.

 VIBRATION ISOLATION AND TRANSMISSIBILITY
• Machines having unbalanced force produces vibration.
• This vibration is transmitted to the foundation.
• To reduce this vibration we use spring/Dampers or vibration
isolating material.
“Transmissibility is defined as the ratio of the force
transmitted (to the foundation) to the force applied. It is a
measure of the effectiveness of the vibration isolating
material”

 WHIRLING OF SHAFTS
When a rotor is mounted on a shaft, its centre of mass does not usually coincide
with the centre line of the shaft.
Therefore, when the shaft rotates, it is subjected to a centrifugal force which
makes the shaft bend in the direction of eccentricity of the centre of mass.
This further increases the eccentricity, and hence the centrifugal force.
In this way, the effect is cumulative and ultimately the shaft may even fail. The
bending of the shaft depends upon the eccentricity of the centre of mass of the
rotor as also upon the speed at which the shaft rotates.
“Critical or whirling or whipping speed is the speed at which the shaft tends to
vibrate violently in the transverse direction.”

Thus when ω = 𝜔! , the deflection y is infinitely large
(resonance occurs) and the speed ω is the critical speed, i.e.

If the speed of the shaft is increased rapidly beyond the critical speed, ω > 𝜔!
"! $
or ( ) < 1 or y is negative.
#
This means that the shaft deflects in the opposite direction.
As the speed continues to increase, y approaches the value e or the centre of
mass of the rotor approaches the centre line of rotation. This principle is used in
running high-speed turbines by speeding up the rotor rapidly or beyond the
critical speed.
When y approaches the value of e, the rotor runs steadily.
