Abstract
Free undamped and damped vibration:
This experiment was conducted in order to study undamped free vibration, damped
vibration, and forced vibration. For the purpose of studying the undamped free vibration,
a setup with no damping current was used. For different masses, the motion of the
vibrating mass was recorded on a strip of teledeltos paper. Afterwards, the natural
frequencies corresponding to the masses were calculated, and the squared values of the
natural frequencies were plotted against the reciprocal of the masses. The slope of the
graph represents the value of the experimental spring constant, which equals (54.19 N/m).
This value was compared to the theoretical value of the spring constant, which equals (54
N/m). The error between the theoretical value and the experimental value of the spring
constant was found to be (% ¿.
In order to study the damped vibration, the same setup was used with an electromagnet
to provide a damping current. For different damping currents, the damping ratios were
calculated, and then plotted against the damping current. In addition, the values of the
damping coefficients were calculated, and then plotted against the damping currents. It
was concluded that the increase in the mass results in a decrease in the damping ratios,
but provides a higher damping coefficient.
Forced vibration:
In order to study the forced vibration, a motor was used to oscillate the setup-base, that
resulted in a forced vibration of the mass which is called an oscillation motion. The
purpose of the experiment was to get the theoretical and the experimental values of the
transmissibility ratio. The theoretical and the experimental transmissibility ratios were
then plotted against the frequency ratio. After that, the half-power-point method was used
in order to plot the transmissibility ratio against the frequency ratio for the case of
applying a damping current of (0.7 A) to the system. The damping ratio corresponding to
this damping current was found to be equal to ( ) while the experimental damping ratio
was found to be equal to ( ).It was concluded that the increase in the damping current
results in a decrease in the transmissibility ratio. In addition, it was found that the
theoretical values of the transmissibility ratios were greater than the experimental values.

Introduction:
Vibration dampers are used in many application where dissipation of energy is
required. Mostly, mechanical energy is converted into heat. When the dissipation is due
to internal friction or hysteresis characteristics of to the molecular structure, it is called
material damping. When the dissipation is generated by friction, snapping, rubbing,
slapping or impacting at the joints and interfaces of structural assemblies, it is called
structural damping. Dampers are used for increasing life, reducing noise, and preventing
premature failures. Dampers have become more popular recently for vibration control of
structures, because of their safe, effective and economical design. In addition, another
application is in cars where the damper protects components from premature wear,
therefore increasing life. It also isolates vibration and oscillation noise so that it is not
transmitted to the vehicle structure. Many other uses of dampers exist in the industry
where machinery is involved. Vibration is divided into:
(1)Free Vibration:
The free vibration results from an initial impact energy that is changes continually
from potential energy to kinetic energy. If a mechanical system was displaced by an
initial impact energy from its equilibrium position and then released, the restoring force
will return the system towards its equilibrium position. This initial impact energy can be
an initial velocity, or an initial displacement through an applied force. In this type of
vibration, the system vibrates at its natural frequency. However, due to various reasons,
some mechanical energy will be dissipated during each cycle of vibration, and this effect
is called damping.
In the first part of the experiment, the system is allowed to vibrate freely, without
damping, in order to study the effect of varying the mass on the natural frequency. In the
second part of the experiment, the mass is fixed while the current damping is increased in
order to study its effect on the system. After that, the readings are collected and used to
determine the damping coefficient.

The logarithmic decrement is the natural log of the ratio of the amplitudes of any two
successive peaks. This method states that the displacement of an underdamped system is
a sinusoidal oscillation with decaying amplitude. This method method is used in order to
find the damping ratio of the system.
(2)Forced Vibration:
When an external excitation input is added to the system, the resulting vibration is
called forced vibration. In the third part of the experiment, the setup-base is oscillated
using a motor that oscillates at a set angular speed in order to cause an oscillation motion.
In this case, the transmissibility ratio (X/Y), which is the ratio of the amplitude of the
response X to that of the base Y, is obtained.
To estimate the damping ratio from the frequency domain, the half-power bandwidth
method is used. The half-power point damping method is defined as the ratio of the
frequency range between the two half power points to the natural frequency at this mode.
In this method, the amplitude of the frequency response function of the system is
obtained first. Corresponding to each natural frequency, there is a peak in the amplitude
of the frequency response function. The half-power points are the frequencies at which
the value of response amplitude drops 3 decibels, or 70.7%, in relation to the amplitude
of the response at the center. The more the damping, the more the frequency range
between these two points.

Theoretical Background:
Mathematical Model:
In an ideal, 1-DOF system a rigid mass, m, is connected to a fixed, rigid support by a
light spring of stiffness k and a viscous damper with damping coefficient c, and is
constrained to move in the x-direction only. An external force F(t) acts on the mass.
The resulting equation of motion of the system is:
Case 1: Free Vibration
If a system, after an initial disturbance, is left to vibrate on its own, the ensuing
vibration is known as free vibration. When all externally applied forces F(t) are zero
Equation 1.1 becomes:
In the case of un-damped free vibration,
with a circular frequency, wn
where , wn is the natural frequency of the system and Equation 1.4 is a second order
homogeneous, linear differential equation. It has a solution of the form x = A sin wn t, or
x = A cos wn t. Introducing the damping ratio

Experimental procedure:
Part 1: Variation of undamped natural frequency with vibrating mass:
1) Prepare the setup for free un-damped vibrations by setting the eccentric to zero radius
and zero damping current. Adjust the air bearing pressure so that the mass floats. Set
up the recorder and time it for mm/sec of paper speed.
2) For a given value of vibrating mass make three measurements of the time taken for 10
n cycles of free vibration, where n is chosen to give a time of between 35 and 50
seconds. From the average time for one cycle, Tn, the un-damped natural frequency,
wn, can be computed from wn = 2p/Tn.
3) Repeat for different values of the vibrating mass, m, chosen to give approximately
equal intervals for 1/m.
4) Plot a graph of wn2 against m-1 which should be a straight line with slope equal to
the spring stiffness, k. Be consistent in units (if the unit of m is kg and Tn is sec, then
the unit of wn is rad/sec and of k is N/m).

Part 2: Damped free vibration and determination of the damping ratio
1) Set a given value of the damping current and hold it constant throughout the test.
Remember the safety precaution.
2) Measurement of the damping ratio,x, is from a record of the free vibration in which
the vibration mass is displaced to one of the stops limiting its motion and released
from rest. The equilibrium position of the mass should be recorded before and after
the free vibration and the initial position of the mass (x = X0) should be recorded
before the mass is released.
3) For x < 0.05: determine the mean value of the ratio of successive maxima, and
calculate the value of x from Equation 1.13.
4) For 0.05<=x<0.1: determine the mean value of the ratio of successive maxima and
obtain the value of x
5) For 0.1<=x ,0.3: determine the mean value of the ratio of successive maxima and
minima and obtain the value of x
6) For 0.3<=x <0.6: determine the ratio of the amplitude of the first minimum to the
initial displacement X 12
/X 0 and obtain ξ
7) Plot a graph of x against damping current to use as a calibration curve to guide in
setting x in other experiments. Note that the graph will apply for particular values of
m and k, but it can be adjusted for other values using V1.4a.
Part 3: Forced vibration excited by oscillating the support
1) Using the results of Part 2, set the damping current to give the required value of x
and hold it constant throughout the test.
2) Set the eccentric to give a suitable amplitude of frame oscillation, Y, and measure it
using a ruler. If Y is made too large with low values of x the motion of the vibrating
mass will be limited by the stops for that part of the forced vibration response in the
region of resonance.
3) Switch on the frame drive (selector D in Figure (1)).
4) Select the appropriate forcing frequency by controlling knob C of Figure (1). Count
the RPS using the photoelectric probe assembly.

5) Set up the recorder as before to record several cycles of steady-state forced vibration
for values of the forcing frequency, w, from approximately 0.5wn to 2.5wn, with close
spacing of the readings in the region of resonance.
6) Measure the amplitude of vibration of the vibrating mass, X, from the recorded traces
and plot X/Y against w /wn. Compare this graph with the theoretical response given
by Equation 1.19, evaluated for the appropriate value of x.

Tables (11), (12), (13), (14) list the data obtained for a damped, forced vibration of a
single degree of freedom system. The damping current is fixed to (0.7 A) in table (11), to
(0.9 A) in table (12), to (1.1 A) in table (13), and to (1.3 A) in table (14). The mass is
fixed at (3.35 kg) for tables (11) through (14). The first column represents the serial
number of runs taken, while the second column represents the desired frequency ratio.
The third column displays the desired motor speed in (rpm), while the fourth column
displays the actual motor speed in (rpm). The fifth column lists the doubled amplitude of
vibration in (mm), while the sixth column lists the amplitude of vibration in (mm). The
seventh column shows the actual frequency ratio. The eighth and ninth columns
represents the experimental and theoretical amplitude ratios, respectively. The first row
of the table displays the damping coefficient in (N-s/m) and the damping ratio.
