2 Marks Questions And Answers

1. What do you mean by Dynamic Response?
The Dynamic may be defined simply as time varying. Dynamic load is the load in
which its magnitude, direction and position varies with time. The structural response (i.e.,
resulting displacements and stresses) to a dynamic load is also time varying or dynamic
in nature. Hence it is called dynamic response.
2. What is mean by Frequency?
Frequency (f) is number of times the motion repeated in the same sense or alternatively. It
is the number of cycles made in one second (cps). It is also expressed as Hertz (Hz)
named after the inventor of the term. The circular frequency in units of sec -1 is given by
2 f.
3. Define damping.
Damping is a measure of energy dissipation in a vibrating system. The dissipating
mechanism may be of the frictional form or viscous form. In the former case, it is called
dry friction or column damping and in the latter case it is called viscous damping.
Damping in a structural system generally assumed to be of viscous type for mathematical
convenience. Viscous damped force (Fd) is proportional to the velocity (X) of a vibrating
body. The constant of proportionality is called the damping constant (C) and its unit is
NS/m.
4. Write a short note on Amplitude.
It is the maximum response or displacement of the vibrating body from its mean
position. Amplitude is generally associated with direction vertical, horizontal, etc. it can
be expressed in the form of displacement (X), velocity (X) or acceleration (X). In the
case of simple harmonic motion, these terms are related through the frequency of
oscillation (f). If X is displacement amplitude, then
Velocity (X) = 2 f .X
Acceleration (X) = (2 f ).(X) = 4 2 f2 X
When acceleration is used as a measure of vibration, it is measured in terms of
acceleration due to gravity, g (9.81 m/sec2).
5. What is mean by free vibration and forced vibration?
Free vibration:
A structure is said to be undergoing free vibrations if the exciting force that
caused the vibration is no longer present and the oscillating structure is purely under
influence of its own inertia or mass (m) and stiffness (k). Free vibration can be set in by
giving an initial displacement or by giving an initial velocity (by striking with a hammer)
to the structure at an appropriate location on it.
Forced vibrations:
Forced vibrations are produced in a structure when it is acted upon by the continuous
presence of external oscillating force acting on it. The structure under forced vibration
normally responds at the frequency ratio, i.e. (fm/fn) where fm is the frequency of
excitation and fn is the natural frequency of the structure.
6. Define Resonance.
This phenomenon is characterized by the build up area of large amplitudes of
any given structural system and as such, it has significance in the design of dynamically
loaded structures. Resonance should be avoided under all circumstances, whenever a
structure is acted upon by a steady state oscillating force (i.e., fm is constant). The
presence of damping, however, limits the amplitudes at resonance. This shows the
importance of damping in controlling the vibrations of structures. According to IS 1893
1975- Indian standard code of practice on Earthquake resistant design of structures,
following values of damping (expressed as percentage of critical damping) are
recommended for design purposes.
7. What are the effects of vibration?
i.
Effect on Human Sensitivity.
ii.
Effect on structural damage.
8. Write a short note on single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems.

At any instant of time, the motion of this system can be denoted by single coordinate (x in this case). It is represented by a rigid mass, resting on a spring of stiffness
k and coupled through a viscous dashpot (representing damping) having constant C.
Here, the mass m represents the inertial effects of damping (or energy dissipation) in the
system
Using the dynamic equilibrium relation with the inertial force included, according
to DAlemberts principle, it can be written as
FI
FD
+FS
P(t)
(Inertia
(Damping (Elastic
(Applied
Force)
force)
force)
force)
This gives
mx + Cx +Kx = P
x, x, x respectively denote the displacement, velocity and acceleration of the system. P(t)
is the time dependent force acting on the mass. The above equation represents the
equation of motion of the single degree freedom system subjected to forced vibrations.
9. What is the formula for Free vibration response?
The corresponding equation under free vibrations can be obtained by substituting the
right hand side of equation as zero. This gives
mx + Cx +Kx = 0.
10. What is the response for impulsive load or Shock loads?

Impulsive load is that which acts for a relatively short duration. Examples are
impact of a hammer on its foundation. Damping is not important in computing response
to impulsive loads since the maximum response occurs in a very short time before
damping forces can absorb much energy from the structure. Therefore, only the
undamped response to impulsive loads will be considered.
11. What is mean by theory of vibration?
Vibration is the motion of a particle or a body or a system of concentrated bodies
having been displaced form a position of equilibrium, appearing as an oscillation.
Vibration was first recognized in mechanical systems and hence the study of
vibrations fell into the heading Mechanical Vibrations as early about 4700 years ago.
12. What is mean by Degrees of freedom?
The number of independent displacement required to define the displaced
positions of all the masses relative to their original position is called Degree Of Freedom
(DOF)
13. Define static force.
A load or many loads on any system creates static displacement or deflection
depending on whether it is a lumped system or a continuous system; there is no excitation
and hence there is no vibration.
14. Define Dynamic Excitation.
Any load or force acting on the mass as disturbance leads to an excitation to the
system and therefore giving energy from external source and hence there will be
vibration.
Dynamic Excitation is classified into two types;
Transient vibrations
Steady state vibrations
15. Define Cycle.

One complete sequence of a repeated event is termed as cycle.
16. Write a short note on simple Harmonic motion.
Vibration is periodic motion; the simplest form of periodic motion is simple
harmonic. More complex forms of periodic motion may be considered to be composed of
a number of simple harmonics of various amplitudes and frequencies as specified in
Fourier series.
