Vibration Under General Forcing Conditions

1. A general forcing function may be periodic (nonharmonic) or nonperiodic, lasting for short, long, or infinite durations. Examples include step forces, linearly increasing forces, and exponentially varying forces. 2. Shock is defined as a small forcing function compared to the natural time period of a system. A periodic force oscillates around a mean value with an angular frequency and amplitude. 3. The transient response of a system to general forcing can be found using the convolution integral. If the force is periodic but nonharmonic, it can be represented as a sum of harmonic functions using Fourier analysis.

Vibration Under General
Forcing Conditions
● Some examples of general forcing functions
include the motion imparted by a cam to the
follower; the vibration felt by an instrument
when its package is dropped from a height;
etc.
● The transient response of a system can be
found by using what is known as the
convolution integral.
Vibration Under General
Forcing Conditions
● If the forcing function is periodic but not
harmonic, it can be replaced by sum of
harmonic functions using the harmonic
analysis or Fourier transform.

GENERAL
PERIODIC FORCE
• If the forcing function is periodic, we can use the
Fourier series and the principle of superposition to get
the response. The Fourier series states that a periodic
function can be represented as a series of sines and
cosines:
• The equation of motion can be expressed as

• The steady-state solution of the equation is


derived as:
• Using the superposition principle, the
steady state solution is the sum of the
steady state solution for the following
equations:

NONPERIODIC
FORCE
• When the exciting force F(t) is
nonperiodic, such as that due to the
blast from an explosion, a different
method of calculating the response is
required.
• Various methods can be used to find
the response of the system to an
arbitrary excitation. Some of these
methods are as follows:
1. Representing the
excitation by a Fourier
integral 4. First approximating
F(t) by a suitable
2. Using the interpolation model and
superposition method then using a numerical
procedure

2. Using the method of 5. Numerically


convolution integral integrating the equation
of motion.
3. Using the method of
Laplace transforms
