MATHEMATICAL MODELLING
• In this approach, first a very crude or elementary model is used to get a quick
insight into the overall behavior of the system. Subsequently, the model is refined
by including more components and/or details so that the behavior of the system can
be observed more closely.

2. DERIVATION OF GOVERNING EQUATIONS
• Use the principles of dynamics and derive the equations that describe the vibration
of the system
• Draw the free-body diagrams of all the masses involved
• The free-body diagram of a mass can be obtained by isolating the mass and
indicating all externally applied forces, the reactive forces, and the inertia forces
• The equations of motion of a vibrating system are usually in the form of a set of
ordinary differential equations for a discrete system and partial differential
equations for a continuous system.
• Newton’s second law of motion, D’Alembert s principle, and the principle of
conservation of energy

4. INTERPRETATION OF THE RESULTS
• The solution of the governing equations gives the displacements, velocities, and
accelerations of the various masses of the vibrating system
• These results must be interpreted with a clear view of the purpose of the analysis
and the possible design implications of the results

ENERGY STORING (SPRING OR STIFFNESS) ELEMENT
• The work done (U) in deforming a spring is stored as strain or potential energy
in the spring, and it is given by, U= kx2/2

EXAMPLES
• Stiffness of a rod
• Stiffness of a cantilever beam

MASS OR INERTIA ELEMENT
• The mass or inertia element is assumed to be a rigid body; it can gain or lose
kinetic energy whenever the velocity of the body changes.
• From Newton’s second law of motion, the product of the mass and its
acceleration is equal to the force applied to the mass.
• Work is equal to the force multiplied by the displacement in the direction of the
force, and the work done on a mass is stored in the form of the mass’s kinetic
energy.
