Basic Definitions
Natural Frequency
The natural frequency is the frequency at which a mass will vibrate if it is given an initial displacement and then released so that it may vibrate freely.
This free vibration is also called "simple harmonic motion, " assuming no damping.
An object has both mass and stiffness.
The spring stiffness will try to snap the object back to its rest position if the object is given an initial displacement. The inertial effect of the mass, however, will not allow the object to stop immediately at the rest position. Thus, the object “overshoots” its mark.
The mass and stiffness forces balance out to provide the natural frequency.
VibrationdataVibrationdata

Basic Definitions (continued)
Damping
Consider a mass that is vibrating freely. The mass will eventually return to its rest position. This decay is referred to as "damping.“
Damping may be due to
viscous sources
dry friction
aerodynamic drag
acoustic radiation
air pumping at joints
boundary damping

Basic Definitions (continued)
Single-degree-of-freedom System (SDOF)
A single-degree-of-freedom system is a system which only has one natural frequency. Engineers often idealize complex systems as single-degree-of-freedom systems.
Multi-degree-of-freedom System (MDOF)
A multi-degree-of-freedom system is a system which has more than one natural frequency.

Earth EARTH'S NATURAL FREQUENCY
The Earth experiences seismic vibration.
The fundamental natural frequency of the Earth is 309.286 micro Hertz.
This is equivalent to a period of 3233.25 seconds, or approximately 54 minutes.

Golden Gate Bridge
In addition to traffic loading, the Golden Gate Bridge must withstand the following environments:
1. Earthquakes, primarily originating on the San Andreas and Hayward faults
2. Winds of up to 70 miles per hour
3. Strong ocean currents
The Golden Gate Bridge has performed well in all earthquakes to date,
including the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. Several phases of seismic retrofitting have been performed since the initial construction.
Note that current Caltrans standards require bridges to withstand an equivalent static earthquake force (EQ) of 2.0 G.

The chair oscillates at a natural frequency which is dependent on the astronaut's mass.

Resonance
Resonance occurs when the applied force or base excitation frequency coincides with the system's natural frequency.
As an example, a bulkhead natural frequency might be excited by a motor pressure oscillation.
During resonant vibration, the response displacement may increase until the structure experiences buckling, yielding, fatigue, or some other failure mechanism.
The Tacoma Narrows Bridge failure is often cited as an example of resonant vibration. In reality, it was a case of self-excited vibration.

Excitation Methods
There are four methods by which a structure's natural frequency may be excited:
1. Applied Pressure or ForceHammer strikes massModal TestBat hits baseball, exciting bat’s natural frequenciesAirflow or wind excites structure such as an aircraftwingOcean waves excite offshore structureRotating mass imbalance in motorPressure oscillation in rocket motor

LOMA PRIETA EARTHQUAKE (continued)
The earthquake caused the Cypress Viaduct to collapse, resulting in 42 deaths. The Viaduct was a raised freeway which was part of the Nimitz freeway in Oakland, which is Interstate 880. The Viaduct had two traffic decks.
Resonant vibration caused 50 of the 124 spans of the Viaduct to collapse. The reinforced concrete frames of those spans were mounted on weak soil. As a result, the natural frequency of those spans coincided with the forcing frequency of the earthquake ground motion. The Viaduct structure thus amplified the ground motion. The spans suffered increasing vertical motion. Cracks formed in the support frames. Finally, the upper roadway collapsed, slamming down on the lower road.
The remaining spans which were mounted on firm soil withstood the earthquake.

Helicopter Ground Resonance
A new design undergoing testing may encounter severe vibration while it is on the ground, preparing for takeoff.
As the rotor accelerates to its full operating speed, a structural natural frequency of the helicopter may be excited.
This condition is called resonant excitation.

Guidance Systems
Consider a rocket vehicle with a closed-loop guidance system.
The autopilot has an internal navigation system which uses accelerometers and gyroscopes to determine the vehicle's attitude and direction.
The navigation system then sends commands to actuators which rotate the exhaust nozzle to steer the vehicle during its powered flight.
Feedback sensors measure the position of the nozzle. The data is sent back to the navigation computer.
Unfortunately, the feedback sensors, accelerometers, and gyroscopes could be affected by the vehicle's vibration. Specifically, instability could result if the vibration frequency coincides with the control frequency.

Unit 1A Exercise 2
A rocket vehicle is carried underneath an aircraft. It experiences an initial displacement because gravity causes it to bow downward while it is attached to the aircraft. It is suddenly released and allowed to vibrate freely as it falls. It continues falling for about 5 seconds prior to its motor ignition, as a safety precaution.
An acceleration time history of the drop is given in file: drop.txt.
