    Introductory Remarks

    Until now our SDOFs were described as composed by asingle mass connected to a fixed reference by means of aspring and a damper.

    While the mass-spring is a useful representation, manydifferent, more complex systems can be studied as SDOFsystems, either exactly or under some simplifyingassumption.

    1. SDOF rigid body assemblages, where flexibility isconcentrated in a number of springs and dampers, canbe studied, e.g., using the Principle of Virtual

    Displacements and the DAlembert Principle.2. simple structural systems can be studied, in an

    approximate manner, assuming a fixed pattern ofdisplacements, whose amplitude (the single degree offreedom) varies with time.

    Further Remarks on Rigid Assemblages

    Today we restrict our consideration to plane, 2-D systems.In rigid body assemblages the limitation to a single shape ofdisplacement is a consequence of the configuration of the

    system, i.e., the disposition of supports and internal hinges.When the equation of motion is written in terms of a singleparameter and its time derivatives, the terms that figure ascoefficients in the equation of motion can be regarded as thegeneralised properties of the assemblage: generalised mass,damping and stiffness on left hand, generalised loading onright hand.

    Further Remarks on Continuous Systems

    Continuous systems have an infinite variety of deformation

    patterns.By restricting the deformation to a single shape of varyingamplitude, we introduce an infinity of internal contstraintsthat limit the infinite variety of deformation patterns, butunder this assumption the system configuration ismathematically described by a single parameter, so that

    our model can be analysed in exactly the same way as astrict SDOF system,

    we can compute the generalised mass, damping,stiffness properties of the SDOF system.

    Final Remarks on Generalised SDOF Systems

    From the previous comments, it should be apparent that

    everything we have seen regarding the behaviour and theintegration of the equation of motion of proper SDOFsystems applies to rigid body assemblages and to SDOFmodels of flexible systems, provided that we have the meansfor determining the generalised properties of the dynamicalsystems under investigation.

    each other by means of springs, dampers and smooth,bilateral constraints (read hinges, double pendulumsand rollers),

    ... and an hypothesis

    To study the previous problem, we introduce an approximatemodel by the following hypothesis,

    v(x, t) = (x)Z(t),

    that is, the hypothesis of separation of variablesNote that (x), the shape function, is adimensional, whileZ(t) is dimensionally a generalised displacement, usuallychosen to characterise the structural behaviour.In our example we can use the displacement of the tip of thechimney, thus implying that (H) = 1 because

    Z(t) = v(H, t) and

    v(H, t) = (H)Z(t)

    Vibration Analysis

    The process of estimating the vibration characteristicsof a complex system is known as vibration analysis.

    We can use our previous results for flexible systems,

    based on the SDOF model, to give an estimate of thenatural frequency 2 = k/m

    A different approach, proposed by Lord Rayleigh, startsfrom different premises to give the same results but theRayleighs Quotient method is important because itoffers a better understanding of the vibrationalbehaviour, eventually leading to successive refinements

    of the first estimate of 2

    .

    Our focus will be on the free vibration of a flexible,undamped system.

    inspired by the free vibrations of a proper SDOF we

    write

    Z(t) = Z0 sin t and v(x, t) = Z0(x) sin t,

    the displacement and the velocity are in quadrature:when v is at its maximum v = 0 (hence V= Vmax,T= 0) and when v = 0 v is at its maximum (henceV= 0, T= Tmax,

    disregarding damping, the energy of the system isconstant during free vibrations,

    Vmax + 0 = 0 + Tmax

    Rayleighs Quotient Method

    in Rayleighs method we know the specific timedependency of the inertial forces

    fI = m(x)v = m(x)2Z0(x) sin t

    fI has the same shape we use for displacements. if were the real shape assumed by the structure in

    free vibrations, the displacements v due to a loadingfI =

    2m(x)(x)Z0 should be proportional to (x)through a constant factor, with equilibrium respected inevery point of the structure during free vibrations.

    starting from a shape function 0(x), a new shape

    function 1 can be determined normalizing thedisplacements due to the inertial forces associated with

    0(x), fI = m(x)0(x), we are going to demonstrate that the new shape

    function is a better approximation of the true modeshape

    Selection of mode shapes

    Given different shape functions i and considering the trueshape of free vibration , in the former cases equilibrium isnot respected by the structure itself.To keep inertia induced deformation proportional to i we

    must consider the presence of additional elastic constraints.This leads to the following considerations

    the frequency of vibration of a structure with additionalconstraints is higher than the true natural frequency,

    the criterium to discriminate between different shapefunctions is: better shape functions give lower estimatesof the natural frequency, the true natural frequency

    being a lower bound of all estimates.

    Selection of mode shapes 2

    In general the selection of trial shapes goes through two

    steps,

    1. the analyst considers the flexibilities of different parts ofthe structure and the presence of symmetries to devisean approximate shape,

    2. the structure is loaded with constant loads directed asthe assumed displacements, the displacements arecomputed and used as the shape function,

    of course a little practice helps a lot in the the choice of aproper pattern of loading...

    Refinement R01

    We try to give a better estimate of Vmax computing theexternal work done by the inertial forces,

    p(0) = 2m(x)v(0) = Z(0)2(0)(x)

    the deflections due to p(0) are

    v(1) = 2v(1)

    2= 2(1)Z

    (1)

    2= 2(1)Z(1),

    where we write Z(1) because we need to keep the unknown2 in evidence. The maximum strain energy is

    Refinement R11

    With little additional effort it is possible to compute Tmaxfrom v(1):

    Tmax =

    m(x)v(1)2

    dx =

    1

    2 6

    Z(1)2

    m(x)(1)2

    dx

    equating to our last approximation for Vmax we have the R11approximation to the frequency of vibration,

    2 =Z(0)

    Z(1)

    m(x)(0)(1) dxm(x)(1)(1) dx

    .

    Of course the procedure can be extended to compute betterand better estimates of 2 but usually the refinements arenot extended beyond R11, because it would be contradictorywith the quick estimate nature of the Rayleighs Quotientmethod and also because R11 estimates are usually verygood ones.
