Objectives
• Recognize a SDOF system
• Be able to solve the free vibration equation
of a SDOF system with and without

Single degree of freedom systems
• When one variable can describe the
motion of a structure or a system of
bodies, then we may call the system a 1-D
system or a single degree of freedom
(SDOF) system. e.g. x(t), q(t) Z(t), y(x).

Natural Frequency of Oscillation
• In the previously obtained solution:
• The frequency of oscillation is 
• It depends only on the characteristics of the
oscillating system. That is why it is called the
natural frequency of oscillation

1. The amplitude of vibration of an undamped
system is measured to be 1 mm. the phase
shift is measured to be 2 rad and the
frequency 5 rad/sec. Calculate the initial
conditions.
2. Using the equation:
evaluate the constant A1 and A2 in terms of
the initial conditions

3. An automobile is modeled as 1000 kg
mass supported by a stiffness k=400000
N/m. When it oscillates, the maximum
deflection is 10 cm. when loaded with the
passengers, the mass becomes 1300 kg.
calculate the change in the frequency,
velocity amplitude, and acceleration if the
maximum deflection remain 10 cm.

Adding Damping

#WikiCourses
Mohammad Tawfik
Objectives
• Understand the damping as a force
resisting motion
• Adding viscous damping to the equation of
motion of a SDOF
• Understand the difference in the
responses of different systems depending
on the value of the damping

#WikiCourses
Mohammad Tawfik
Damping
• Damping is some form of friction!
• In solids, friction between molecules result
in damping
• In fluids, viscosity is the form of damping
that is most observed
• In this course, we will use the viscous
damping model; i.e. damping proportional
to velocity

#WikiCourses
Mohammad Tawfik
Viscous Damping
• A mathematical form
called a dashpot or
viscous damper
somewhat like a shock
absorber the constant c
has units: Ns/m or kg/s
