Vibrations Assignment: SDOF System Analysis

This document provides an assignment on fundamentals of vibrations and free vibration of single degree of freedom systems. It contains two questions. The first question asks students to describe examples of positive and negative impacts of vibration, draw a free body diagram of a vibrating system, formulate the equation of motion, and evaluate the natural frequency. The second question asks students to determine the free vibration response of a system given its equation of motion and initial conditions, and explain how changing the damping constant would affect the response.

2 The equation of motion of a system is described by:
4𝑥̈ + 200𝑥̇ + 2500𝑥 = 0

a. Determine the free-vibration response of the system when the initial


displacement, 𝑥𝑜 is 1 m and initial velocity, 𝑥̇ 𝑜 is -10 m/s.

b. Evaluate and explain the changes that could be observed in the free-
vibration response of the system when the initial displacement, 𝑥𝑜 , initial
velocity, 𝑥̇ 𝑜 , mass, m and spring constant, k remain the same, while the
damping constant, c is changed to 100 Ns/m.
