VIBRATION THEORY: EQUATION OF
MOTION
Newton’s 2nd law of motion: ‘the rate of change of
momentum of any mass particle m = the force acting
on it’.
p(t) = d(m dv ) (1)
dt dt
P (t) : applied force vector
v (t) : position vector of particle mass m
If m does not vary with time,
p(t) = m d 2 v =m (t)

p(t) - m (t) = 0 (2)

• Equation (2) also known as D’Alembert
Principle: ‘A mass develops an inertial
(t)
force proportional to its acceleration v
and opposing it.

The type of motion given by (8) depends on the amount
of damping in the system.

For un-damped vibration, c=0, the two values of s given by
(8) are:
S 1,2 = ± i ω (9)

Alternatively, equation (13) may be
expressed as
v(t) = ρ cos ( ωt + θ ) (16)

Q2. The building frame shown in Figure 10 supports a rotating machine.
Neglect the axial and shear deformations and the weight of the columns,
and assume that the girder is rigid. Take E=200 GPa; I=12x106 mm4;
m=2500 kg and L=5 m. Calculate the natural frequency of vibration
sidesway and the natural period of vibration for the frame.
Q3. Same as Q2 for frame shown in Figure 11. Assume E 200 GPa;
I=10x106 mm4; m=2700 kg; and L=4 metres.
