Vibrations are defined as continuous cyclic motions and they can be
experienced by any system, living or not, from a person walking in a park to a
steel structure oscillating because of vibrating machinery.
Based on the excitation applied to the system, it could experience
either periodic vibrations, such as the oscillatory motion of a vibrating feeder
used in a mine, or random vibrations, such as the cyclic motion of a vehicle
traveling on a rough, bumpy road. Vibrations happen literally everywhere.
Drilling, blasting, construction or demolition work, jackhammers, piledrivers,
heavy loaders, turbines, blowers, generators, transformers, and
transportation: they’re all great examples of activities and equipment that
generate significant vibration levels for anyone or anything standing in their
viscinity.

vibrations
• Vibration is the motion of a particle or a body or a system of
concentrated bodies having been displaced from a position of
equilibrium , appearing as an oscillation.
• Vibrations are the oscillatory motions that can be experienced
by a building, usually through its floors.
• Vibrations are regular cyclic motions of a given frequency and
amplitude, typically being vertical vibrations, although
horizontal vibrations are possible.

FREQUENCY
• The length of a wave vibration is measured from the beginning of one point on a
wave to the same point on the next wave and is known as the frequency.
• This is expressed as Hertz (Hz).
A
AMPLITUDE
• The height of a wave vibration is measured from the centre line and is known as the
amplitude.
• This is expressed in metres.
.
OSCILLATION
• Oscillation is defined as the process of repeating variations of any quantity or
measure about its equilibrium value in time.
• Oscillation can also be defined as a periodic variation of a matter between two values
or about its central value.

STRUCTURAL DAMPING
Energy in a vibrating structure is dissipated due to the
Relative motion of components at structural joints.
Material damping is the damping provided by the material itself, where the energy dissipates in a vibrating material
Due to interactions occurring at the molecular level.
MATERIAL DAMPING
Dashpot
(dampering device)
A dashpot is a mechanical device, a damper which resists motion via viscous
friction.
The resulting force is proportional to the velocity, but acts in the opposite
direction,
slowing the motion and absorbing energy. It is commonly used in conjunction
with
a spring (which acts to resist displacement).

RESONANCE
Ever Heard of Resonance?
When a structure or human being is subject to a cyclic force whose frequency is equal or
nearly equal to their own natural frequency, they start presenting a very important
phenomenon in engineering called resonance. This phenomenon makes the structure or
person vibrate with larger amplitude than when the same cyclic force is applied at other
frequencies. Resonance may cause violent swaying motions and even catastrophic failure
in poorly designed structures including bridges, buildings, trains, and airplanes. Needless to
say, it can be harmful to humans too.
In structures, a high level of vibration can cause cracks, loose bolts, heavy noise or even
failure. In humans, vibrations can cause several health-related issues such as fatigue,
headaches, stomach problems, among others. Many regulations aim at controlling the
exposure of humans to vibrations. For instance, car manufacturers are required to reduce
vibration levels to ensure the comfort of passengers and prevent health hazards.

MODESHAPE
The special initial displacements of a system that cause it to
vibrate harmonically are called `mode shapes' for the system.
If a system has several natural frequencies, there is a
corresponding mode of vibration for each natural frequency.

How to Avoid Resonance or
High Vibration Levels?
As we have seen above, high vibration levels and resonance in structures or humans must be avoided since
they may cause several permanent
damages and even lead to a system’s catastrophic failure.
Therefore, it’s important that engineers first predict whether a system will present resonance and apply
corrective action beforehand.
Prediction of resonance is a widely investigated topic. Meanwhile, there are few simple cases where
estimating the vibrational characteristics of a system can be achieved by merely using basic equations.
Real-life scenarios tend to be very complex,
with many variables playing diverse roles in the dynamics of a system.
In such cases, the vibration engineer relies on advanced
computational techniques to analyze the system at hand.
Best Practice:Fixing resonance problems in structures that support machinery or people can turn out to be
people can turn out to be very expensive. For this reason, it’s always a good engineering practice to predict
the vibration properties of a system prior to daily usage.

Narrows Bridge

The Case of the 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge
One of the the most studied cases of vibration occurred at the Tacoma Narrows suspension bridge. Spanning across the Tacoma
Narrows strait of Puget Sound between Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula in the state of Washington, the first Tacoma Narrows
bridge was the world’s third-longest suspension bridge by main span, behind the Golden Gate Bridge and the George Washington
Bridge. It was constructed employing a new design approach and because of this, engineers were unable to predict high torsional
oscillations generated by typical wind speed. What shortly followed is now considered one of the biggest and most famous non-fatal
engineering disaster in U.S. history, as the bridge’s main span finally collapsed in 40 mph (64 km/h) winds on the morning of
November 7, 1940.
Aeroelastic Flutter Is What Took the Bridge Down
The vibrations that ultimately took the first Tacoma Narrows bridge down were a form of self-excited vibrations called aeroelastic flutter.
Aeroelastic flutter can be defined as “an unstable, self-feeding and potentially destructive vibration where aerodynamic forces acting on
a structure couple with the natural frequencies of this same structure to produce rapid periodic motion“. A completely unknown
phenomenon at the time of the 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge incident, aeroelastic flutter is now ubiquitous in a wide range of
engineering fields. In applications relying heavily on the structural integrity of flexible bodies, flow-induced motion is a great cause for
concern due to its key role in driving the dynamics of the structure. For this reason, aeroelastic flutter is widely researched across the
aerospace industry, with particular focus on understanding its effect on lift-generating surfaces, like aircraft wings, and its
consequences in aeronautical applications.
