MAE 340 – Vibrations Vibration •
Products that break if they vibrate too much:
MAE 340 – Vibrations Free vs. Forced Vibration
Free Vibration vs. Forced Vibration
MAE 340 – Vibrations SDOF vs. MDOF Systems
Single-Degree-of-Freedom ( SDOF )
The motion may be rectilinear or rotational . Image from D Inman, Engineering Vibration .
Discrete vs. Continuous Systems
A discrete system has rigid
masses connected by massless, flexiblemembers (e.g., massless springs and dampers) MAE 340 – Vibrations k m x c k^ c k^ c
Discrete vs. Continuous Systems
A continuous system has flexible members whose distributed mass issignificant to the vibrations MAE 340 – Vibrations Image from Dlubal Software GmbH Image from www.jeffkemp.com
