Vibration of Discrete Systems: Brief Review2.1 VmRATION OF A
SINGLE-DEGREE-OF -FREEDOM SYSTEMThe number of degrees of freedom of
a vibrating system is defined by the minimum number of displacement
components required to describe the configuration of the system
during vibration. Each system shown in Fig. 2.1 denotes a
single-degree-of-freedom system. The essential features of a
vibrating system include (1) a mass m, producing an inertia force:
mx; (2) a spring of stiffness k, producing a resisting force: kx;
and (3) a damping mechanism that dissipates the energy. If the
equivalent viscous damping coefficient is denoted as c, the damping
force produced is eX.
2.1.1 Free Vibration In the absence of damping, the equation of
motion of a single-degree-of-freedom system is given by
mx +kx
= f(t)
(2.1)
where f(t) is the force acting on the mass and x(t) is the
displacement of the mass m. The free v~bration of the system, in
the absence of the forcing function f(t), is governed by the
equation

where X is the amplitude and 0, the force acts in the negative
direction. As can be seen from Eqs. (3.1) and (3.3), Newton's
second law of motion and D' Alembert's principle are equivalent.
However, Newton's second law 6f motion is more commonly used in
deriving the equations of motion of vibrating bodies and systems.
The equations of motion of the axial vibration of a bar, transverse
vibration of a thin beam, and the transverse vibration of a thin
plate are derived using the equilibrium approach in the following

3.6 EQUATION OF MOTION OF A PLATE IN TRANSVERSE VIBRATIONThe
following assumptions are made in deriving the differential a
transversely vibrating plate: equation of motion of
1. The thickness h of the plate is small compared to its other
dimensions.2. The middle plane of the plate does not undergo
in-plane deformation middle plane is a neutral surface). 3. The
transverse deflection w is small compared (i.e., the
to the thickness of the plate.
4. The influence of transverse shear deformation is neglected
(i.e., straight lines normal to the middle surface before
deformation remain straight and normal after deformation). S. The
effect of rotary inertia is neglected. The plate is referred to a
system of orthogonal coordinates xyz. The middle plane of the plate
is assumed to coincide with the xy plane before deformation, and
the deflection of the middle surface is defined by w(x, y, t), as
shown in Fig. 3.3(a).

3.6.1 State of Stress For thin plates subjected to bending
forces (i.e., transverse loads and bending moments), the direct
stress in the z direction (0",,) is usually neglected. Thus, the
nonzero stress components are O"xx. O"yy. (J'xy, O"yl.' and O"Xl.'
As we are considering flexural (bending) deformations only. there
will be no resulting force in the x and y directions; that is.

It can be noted that in beams, which can be considered as
one-dimensional analogs of plates, the shear stress (J'xy will not
be present. As in beam theory, the stresses O"xx (and O"yy) and
(J'Xl. (and O"Yl.) are assumed to vary linearly and parabolically,
respectively, over the thickness of the plate, as indicated in Fig.
3.3(a). The shear stress O"xy is assumed to vary linearly over the
thickness of the plate, as shown in Fig. 3.3(a). The stresses O"xx,
O"yy. O"xy, (J'Yl.' and O"xz are used in defining the following

3.6.2 Dynamic Equilibrium Equations By considering an element of
the plate, the differential equation of motion in terms of force
and moment resultants can be derived. For this we consider the
bending moments and shear forces to be functions of x, y. and t. so
that if M x acts on one side of the element, Mx + dMx = Mx +
(aMx/ax)dx acts on the opposite side. The resulting equations of
motion can be written as follows. Dynamic equilibrium of forces in

Strain-Displacement RelationsTo derive the strain-displacement
relations, consider the bending deformation of a small element (by
neglecting shear deformation), as shown in Fig. 3.4. In the edge
view of the element (in the xz plane), PQRS is the undeformed
position and P' Q' R' S' is the deformed position of the element.
Due to the assumption that "normals to the middle plane of the
undeformed plate remain straight and normal to the middle plane
after deformation," line AS will become A' B' after deformation.
Thus, points such as K will have in-plane displacements u and v
(parallel to the x and y axes), due to rotation of the normal AB
about the y and x axes, respectively. The in-plane displacements of
K can be expressed as (Fig. 3.4b and c) u =

resulting stress into the first three equations of (3.27), we

Initial and Boundary ConditionsAs the equation of motion, Eq.
(3.38) or (3.39), involves fourth-order partial derivatives with
respect to x and y, and second-order partial derivatives with
respect to t, we need to specify four conditions in terms of each
of x and y (Le., two conditions for any edge) and two conditions in
terms of t (usually, in the form of initial conditions) to find a
unique solution of the problem. If the displacement and velocity of
the plate at t = 0 are specified as wo(x, y) and wo(x, y), the
initial conditions can be expressed as'w(x, aw(x,
y, 0) = wo(x, y) y, 0) = wo(x, y)
(3.43) (3.44)
at
The general boundary conditions that are applicable for any type
of geometry of the plate can be stated as follows. Let n and s
denote the coordinates in the directions normal and tangential to
the boundary. At a fixed edge, the deflection and the slope along
the normal direction must be zero:
w=o aw =0 an w=oMn =0 where the expression by [5] for Mn in
terms of normal and tangential coordinates
(3.45) (3.46)
For a simply supported edge, the deflection and the bending
moment acting on the edge about the s direction must be zero; that
is, (3.47) (3.48) is given

3.7 ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONSIn the equilibrium approach, the
principles of equilibrium of forces and moments are used by
considering an element of the physical system. This gives the
analyst a physical feel of the problem. Hence, the approach has
been used historically by many authors to derive equations of
motion. For example, Love [6] considered the free-body diagram of a
curved rod to derive coupled equations of motion for the vibration
of a curved rod or beam. Timoshenko and Woinowsky-Krieger derived
equations of motion for the vibration of plates and cylindrical
shells [7]. Static equilibrium equations of symmetrically loaded
shells of revolution have been derived using the equilibrium
approach, and the resulting equations have subsequently been
specialized for spherical, conical, circular cylindrical, toroidal,
and ellipsoidal shells by Ugural [3] for determining the membrane
stresses. The approach was also used to derive equilibrium
equations ofaxisymmetrically loaded circular cylindrical and
general shells of revolution by including the bending behavior. In
the equilibrium approach, the boundary conditions are developed by
considering the physics of the problem. Although the equilibrium
and variational approaches can give the same equations of motion,
the variational methods have the advantage of yielding the exact
form of the boundary conditions automatically. Historically, the
deyelopment of plate theory, in terms of the correct forms of the
governing equation and the boundary conditions, has been associated
with the energy (or variational) approach. Several investigators,
including Bernoulli, Germain, Lagrange, Poisson, and Navier, haye
attempted to present a satisfactory theory of plates but did not
succeed completely. Later, Kirchhoff [8] derived the correct
governing equations for plates using minimization of the
(potential) energy and pointed out that there exist only two
boundary conditions on a plate edge. Subsequently, Lord Kelvin and
Tait [9] gave physical insight to the boundary conditions given by
Kirchhoff by converting twisting moments along the edge of the
plate into shearing forces. Thus, the edges are subject to only two
forces: shear and moment.

4Derivation of Equations: Variational Approach4.1 INTRODUCTIONAs
stated earlier, vibration problems can be formulated using an
equilibrium, a variational, or an integral equation approach. The
variational approach is considered in this chapter. In the
variational approach, the conditions of extremization of a
functional are used to derive the equations of motion. The
variational methods offer the following advantages: 1. Forces that
do no work, such as forces of constraint on masses, need not be
considered. 2. Accelerations of masses need not be considered; only
velocities are needed. 3. Mathematical operations are to be
performed on scalars, not on vectors, in deriving the equations of
motion. Since the variational methods make use of the principles of
calculus of variations, the basic concepts of calculus of
variations are presented. However, a brief review of the calculus
of a single variable is given first to indicate the similarity of
the concepts.
4.2 CALCULUS OF A SINGLE VARIABLETo understand the principles of
calculus of variations, we start with the extremization of a
function of a single variable from elementary calculus [2]. For
this, consider a continuous and differentiable function of one
variable, defined in the interval (X"X2), with extreme points at a,
b, and c as shown in Fig. 4.1. In this figure the point x = a
denotes a local minimum with f(a) ::: f(x) for all x in the
neighborhood of a. Similarly, the point x = b represents a local
maximum with f(b) ::::f(x) for all x in the neighborhood of b. The
point x = c indicates a stationary or inflection point with f(c)
::: f(x) on one side and f(c) ::::f(x) on the other side of the
neighborhood of c. To establish the conditions of extreme values of
the function f(x), consider a Taylor series expansion of the
function about an extreme point such as x a:

This equation. known as the Euler-Lagrange equation, is, in
general, a second-order differential equation. The solution of Eq.
(4.19) gives the function t/>(x) that makes the integral I
stationary.
4.4
VARIATION OPERATOREquation (4.17) can also be deriyed using a
variation operator 0, defined as ot/>= (x) - t/>(x)
(4.20)
where t/>(x) is the true function of x that extremizes I, and
(x) is another function of x which is infinitesimally different
from t/>(x) at every point x in the interval XI < X < X2
The variation of a function t/> (x) denotes an infinitesimal
change in the function at a given value of x. The change is virtual
and arbitrary. The variation differs from the usual
differentiation, which denotes a measure of the change in a
function (such as t/ resulting from a specified change in an
independent variable (such as x). In view of Eq. (4.8), Eq. (4.20)
can be represented as ot/>(x) = (x) - t/>(x)
= ST/(x)
(4.21)
where the parameter S tends to zero. The variation operator has
the following important properties, which are useful in the
extremization of the functional I. 1. Since the variation operator
is defined to cause an infinitesimal change in the
functiont/>for a fixed value of x, we have
ox
=0
(4.22)
and hence the independent variable x will not participate in the
variation process. 2. The variation operator is commutative with
respect to the operation of differentiation. For this, consider the
derivative of a variation: d -ot/> dx
=
d -ST/(x) dx
dT/(x) = s-dx
(4.23)

Thus, Egs. (4.23) and (4.24) indicate that the operations of
differentiation and variation are commutative:d -o> dx

(4.25)
3. The variation operator is commutative with respect to the
operation of integration. For this, consider the variation of an
integral:2 o X >(x)dx= 1Xl = x2 1x2 (x)dxxl
1xl-

2 X [(x) 1xl

Equation (4.26) establishes that the operations of integration
and variation are commutative:o

(4:27)
For the extremization of the functional I of Eq. (4.7), we
follow the procedure used for the extremization of a function of a
single variable and define the functional I to be stationary if the
first variation is zero: OJ = 0 (4.28)
Using Eg. (4.7) and the commutative property of Eg. (4.27), Eg.
(4.28) can be written asOJ

Then Eq. (4.161) can be expressed as8[12 LdtI]

(4.164)
where L=rr-T+W(4.165)
is called the Lagrangian function and Eq. (4.164) is known as
Hamilton's principle. Note that a negative sign is included, as
indicated in Eq. (4.163), for the potential energy of loading (W).
Hamilton's principle can be stated in words as follows: The time
integral of the Lagrangian function between the initial time t1 and
the final time t2 is an extremum for the actual displacements
(motion) with respect to all admissible virtual displacements that
vanish throughout the entire time interval: first, at all points of
the body at the instants tl and t2, and second, over the surface
51, where the displacements are prescribed. Hamilton's principle
can be interpreted in another way by considering the displacements
Uj(xj, X2, X3, t), i = 1, 2, 3, to constitute a dynanlic path in
space. Then Hamilton's principle states: Among all admissible
dynamic paths that satisfy the prescribed geometric boundary
conditions on 51 at all times and the prescribed conditions at two
arbitrary instants of time t1 and t2 at every point of the body,
the actual dynamic path (solution) makes the Lagrangian function an
extremum.

Torsional Vibration of a Shaft (Free Vibration) Strain EnergyTo
derive a general expression for the strain energy of a shaft,
consider the shaft to be of variable cross section under a
torsional load as shown in Fig. 4.5. If O(x, t) denotes the angular
displacement of the cross section at x, the angular displacement of
the cross section at x + dx can be denoted as B(x, t) + [oO(x,

strain at a radial distance r is given by y = r(aOjox). The
corresponding shear stress can be represented as r Gy Gr(aO jox),
where G is the shear modulus. The strain energy density Jro can be

where a(x,~) is the flexibility influence function that
satisfies the boundary conditions of the system and f (~, t) is the
distributed load at point ~ at time t. For a system undergoing free
vibration, the load represents the inertia force, so that f() x, t
= -m (x )a2w(x,

where m (x) is the mass per unit length. Assuming during free

W(x) =

(5.33)
It can be seen that Eq. (5.33) is a homogeneous integral
equation of the second kind and represents the eigenvalue problem
of the system in integral form. Consider a membrane of area A whose
equilibrium shape lies in the xy plane. Let the membrane be fixed
at its boundary, S, and subjected to a uniform tension P (force per
unit length). Let the transverse displacement of point Q (x, y) due
to the transverse load f (~, 1]) d ~ d 1] applied at the point R
(~, 1]) be w( Q). By considering the equilibrium of a small element
of area d.x dy of the membrane, the differential equation can be
derived as

and h (Q, R) is a hannonic function whose values on the boundary
of the membrane, S, are the same as those of log(l / r) so that K
(Q, R) will be zero on S. For example, if the membrane is circular
with center at (0,0) and radius a, the variation of the function
K(Q, R) will be as shown in Fig. 5.2. Since the membrane is fixed
along its boundary S, the transverse displacement of point Q can be

g(x, ~)m(~)W(~)dV(~)
(5.34)
where W(x) and W(O denote the displacements at points x and ~,
respectively. Depending on the dimensionality of the problem,
points x and ~ may be defined by one, two, or three spatial
coordinates. The general flexibility influence function g(x, ~),
also known as the Green'sfunction, is symmetric in x and~, [i.e.,
g(x,~) = g(~, x)] for a self-adjoint problem. Note that the kernel,
g(x, ~)m(~), in Eq. (5.34) is not symmetric unless m(~) is a
constant. However, the kernel can be made symmetric by noting the
fact that m(~) > 0 and introducing the function (x):(x)
= Jm(x)W(x)
(5.35)
By multiplying both sides of Eg. (5.34) by' .Jm(x) and using Eg.
(5.35), we obtain(x) = A
i
K(x, ~)(~) dV(~)
(5.36)
where the kernel (5.37) can be seen to be symmetric. An
advantage of the transformation above is that a symmetric kernel
usually possesses an infinite number of eigenvalues, A, for which
Eq. (5.36) will have nonzero solutions. On the other hand, a
nonsymmetric kernel mayor may not have eigenvalues [1]. For any
specific eigenvalue Ai, Eq. (5.36) has a nontrivial solution i(X),
which is related to Wi(x) by Eq. (5.35). The function Wi(x)
represents the eigenfunction corresponding to the eigenvalue Ai of
the system.

5.5.1
Method of Undetermined Coefficients In this method the unknown
function is assumed to be in the form of a power series of a finite
number of terms. The assumed function is then substituted into the
integral equation and the regular part is integrated. This results
in a set of simultaneous equations in terms of the unknown
coefficients. Solution of these simultaneous equations yields the

Iterative Method An iterative method similar to the matrix
iteration method for the solution of a matrix eigenvalue problem
can be used for the solution of the integral Eq. (5.34). The
iteration method assumes that the eigenvalues are distinct and well
separated such that A) < A2 < A3 .... In addition, the
iteration method is based on the expansion theorem related to the

Equation (5.44) indicates that any function W(x) that satisfies
the boundary conditions of the system can be represented as a
linear combination of the eigenfunctions Wi (x) of the system.

of a trial function wil) (x) as an approximation to the first
eigenfunction or mode shape, WI (x). Substituting Wil)(x) for W(x)
on the right-hand side of Eq. (5.34) and evaluating the integral,
the next (improved) approximation to the eigenfunction WI (x) can
be obtained: (5.46) Using Eq. (5.44), Eq. (5.46) can be expressed

Derivation of Equations: Integral Equation Approach Numerical
Integration Method
5.5.6
In the numerical integration method, the regular part of the
integral equation is decomposed into the form of a sum, and the
equation is then reduced to a set of simultaneous linear equations
with the values of the unknown function at some points in the
domain of integration treated as the unknown quantities. The
procedure is illustrated through the following example.

SOLUTION We use the Gauss integration method for the numerical
solution of Eg. (E5.7.1). In Gauss integration, the integral is
evaluated by using the formula1

n
(5.7.3)
where n is called the number of Gauss points, Wi are called
weights, and ti are the specified values of t in the range of
integration. For any specified n, the values of Wi and ti are
chosen so that the formula will be exact for polynomials up to and
including degree 2n - 1. Since the range of integration in Eq.
(E5.7.3) for x is -1 to + 1, the formula can be made applicable to
a general range of integration using a transformation of the
variable. Thus, an integral of the form f(x) dx can be evaluated,
using the Gauss integration method, as

derivatives of , we choose. for convenience, (10.159) to be the
boundary condition. Next we derive a relation between the unknown
angle ,B(angle of twist per unit length) and the torque (Mt) acting
on the rod. For this. consider the cross section of the twisted rod
as shown in Fig. 10.9. The moment about the x axis of all the
forces acting on a small elemental area dA located at the point

integrating the expression in Eq. (10.160) over the entire area of
cross section of the bar as (10.161)

Eq. (10.164) produces an equation of the form M, = GJfJ = CfJ,
where J is called the torsional constant (J is the polar moment of
inertia of the cross section for a circular section) and C is
called the torsional rigidity. Thus, Eq. (10.164) can be used to
find the torsional rigidity (C). Note There are very few
cross-sectional shapes for which Eq. (10.164) can be evaluated in
closed form to find an exact solution of the torsion problem. The
following example indicates the procedure of finding an exact
closed-form solution for the torsion problem for an elliptic cross

Torsional Vibration of Shafts
10.10 PRANDTL'S MEMBRANE ANALOGYPrandtl observed that the
differential equation for the stress function, Eq. (10.153), is of
the same form as the equation that describes the deflection of a
membrane or soap film under transverse pressure [see Eq. (13.1)
without the right-hand-side inertia term]. This analogy between the
torsion and membrane problems has been used in determining the
torsional rigidity of rods with noncircular cross sections
experimentally [3, 4]. An actual experiment with a soap bubble
would consist of an airtight box with a hole cut on one side (Fig.
10.11). The shape of the hole is the same as the cross section of
the rod in torsion. First, a soap film is created over the hole.
Then air under pressure (p) is pumped into the box. This causes the
soap film to deflect transversely as shown in Fig. 10.11. If P
denotes the uniform tension in the soap film, the small transyerse
deflection of the soap film (w) is governed by the equation [see
Eq. (13.1) without the right-band-side inertia term] (10.165) or
(10.166) in the hole region (cross section) and
w=O
(10.167)
on the boundary of the hole (cross section). Note that the
differential equation and the boundary condition, Eqs. (10.166) and
(10.167), are of precisely the same form as for the stress function
4>,namely, Eqs. (10.153) and (10.159):V 4> = -2Gf32
(10.168)
in the interior, and (10.169) on the boundary. Thus, the soap

with a rectangular cross section is presented by Vet [8). An
overview of the vibration problems associated with turbomachinery
is given by Vance [9]. The free vibration coupling of bending and
torsion of a uniform spinning beam was studied by Filipich and
Rosales [16]. The exact solution was presented and a numerical
example was presented to point out the influence of whole coupling.
Torsional Vibration of Thin- Walled Beams The torsional vibration
of beams of thinwalled open section has been studied by Gere [11).
The behavior of torsion of bars with warping restraint is studied
using Hamilton's principle by Lo and Goulard [12]. Vibration of a
Cracked Rotor The coupling between longitudinal, lateral, and
torsional vibrations of a cracked rotor was studied by Darpe et al.
[13]. In this work, the stiffness matrix of a Timoshenko beam
element was modified to account for the effect of a crack and all
six degrees of freedom per node were considered. Torsional
Vibration Control The torsional vibration control of a shaft
through active constrained layer damping treatments has been
studied by Shen et al. [14). The equation of motion of the
arrangement, consisting of piezoelectric and viscoelastic layers,
is derived and its stability and controllability are discussed.
Torsional Vibration of Machinery Drives The startup torque in an
electrical induction motor can create problems when the motor is
connected to mechanical loads such as fans and pumps through
shafts. The interrelationship between the electric motor and the
mechanical system, which is effectively a multimass oscillatory
system, has been examined by Ran et al. [15).
