Parameters of Vibration System

Every vibrating system, in general, comprises of three parameters, these are Inertia, Stiffness, and Damping.

Inertia and Stiffness are generally modelled as simple elements like:

Parameters   Rectilinear   Angular
   Inertia   Mass   Moment of Inertia
  Stiffness   Linear Spring   Torsional Spring

 

Spring element

Spring constants



  D - Coil diameter
  d - wire diameter
  n - no. of turns
  G - shear modulus

  E: modulus of elasticity
  I:  area moment
  l:  length of candilever beam
  E: modulus of elasticity
  I:  area moment
  l:  length of candilever beam

  E: modulus of elasticity
  I:  area moment
  l:  length of candilever beam

 



  E: modulus of elasticity
