We have announced the first exam related to single degree of freedom systems, damped and undamped, for September 21.  You will be allowed 2 pages 8.5 x 11 of formulas, but no solutions. This quiz is related to what we covered in class. A review of those topics are in videos 1-7.

 

 

Here is Lecture 7 video: we look at underdamped systems, derived logarithmic decrement and talk about two problems. 

 

 

Look at Problems 2.1-2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.17 to 2.19, 2.28, 2.38, 2.45, 2.52, 2.60, 2.80, 2.82, 2.83, and 2.97.  These are from the handout you obtained from the secretary’s office. .  I will release the solutions on Sept 15 in preparation for your exam.

 

Now for underdamped systems: the logarithmic decrement, δ, equals  where ζ is the damping ratio. NOTE δ IS NOT EQUAL TO Dst THE STATIC DISPLACEMENT

 

 

Also we showed that δ = (1/N) * ln(xo/xN) = (1/N) * ln(xi/xi+N)

 

where N = the number of cycles between the first and last measurement.  x here is the displacement and the subscript “o” means the first measurement value.  The formula also applies between any N cycles, meaning starting from cycle i and going to cycle i+N.

 

We will discuss the forced vibration of systems and cover the topic of resonance in a future lecture.

 

 

Here is Lecture 8 video: we now begin to look at forced vibration and derive the displacement function for a harmonic force F(t)=P sinwft.  We discussed the effect of frequency ratio r=wf/wn and damping ratio ζ.

 

 

I am adding one more videotape in which problems on problems related to rotating unbalance and how to find the displacement due to forced vibrations Lecture 8a.  Please see it before the second exam.  The book from which the problems are taken are Vierck, Vibration Analysis.

Even though I will not be here, THERE WILL BE A CLASS TOMORROW, Sept 21.  I have asked Dr. Aravelli to substitute and teach the class tomorrow.  You will be covering the forced vibration of a single degree of freedom system.  She is very familiar with this material.

 

Tomorrow and the next set of lectures, please ensure that you bring the two handouts that I gave out at the end of the class on Wednesday.

 

Also, please look at the videotape for lesson 8 which reviews the materials related to Forced Vibration of a single degree of freedom system, either before or after.  This material will be covered by your second examination.

 

Lastly, I will have office hours on Wednesday from 11-1230 if you have any questions.

 

Remember that the first exam is Sept 21 and that you are allowed 2 8.5 x11 inch formula sheets that deal with the materials we have spoken about from the beginning of the semester until the end of Wednesday's class.  No Forced vibrations materials will be on the first examination.
