MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised Elastic Deformation of Solids A deformation is the change in size or shape of an object. An elastic object is one that returns to its original size and shape after contact forces have been removed. If the forces acting on the object are too large, the object can be permanently distorted.

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised Beyond Hooke’s Law Elastic Limit If the stress on an object exceeds the elastic limit, then the object will not return to its original length. Breaking Point An object will fracture if the stress exceeds the breaking point. The ratio of maximum load to the original cross-sectional area is called tensile strength.

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised Simple Harmonic Motion Simple harmonic motion (SHM) occurs when the restoring force (the force directed toward a stable equilibrium point) is proportional to the displacement from equilibrium.

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised Characteristics of SHM Repetitive motion through a central equilibrium point. Symmetry of maximum displacement. Period of each cycle is constant. Force causing the motion is directed toward the equilibrium point (minus sign). F directly proportional to the displacement from equilibrium.

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised The period of oscillation of an object in an ideal mass-spring system is 0.50 sec and the amplitude is 5.0 cm. What is the speed at the equilibrium point? At equilibrium x = 0: Since E = constant, at equilibrium (x = 0) the KE must be a maximum. Here v = v max = A .

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised (b) What is the mechanical energy of the diaphragm? Since mechanical energy is conserved, E = K max = U max. The value of k is unknown so use K max. The value is K max = 0.13 J. Example continued:

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised The Pendulum A simple pendulum is constructed by attaching a mass to a thin rod or a light string. We will also assume that the amplitude of the oscillations is small.

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised The pendulum is best described using polar coordinates. The origin is at the pivot point. The coordinates are (r, φ). The r-coordinate points from the origin along the rod. The φ- coordinate is perpendicualr to the rod and is positive in the counterclock wise direction.

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised Apply Newton’s 2 nd Law to the pendulum bob. If we assume that φ <<1 rad, then sin φ  φ and cos φ  1, the angular frequency of oscillations is then: The period of oscillations is

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised Damped Oscillations When dissipative forces such as friction are not negligible, the amplitude of oscillations will decrease with time. The oscillations are damped.

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised Graphical representations of damped oscillations:

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised  Overdamped: The system returns to equilibrium without oscillating. Larger values of the damping the return to equilibrium slower.  Critically damped : The system returns to equilibrium as quickly as possible without oscillating. This is often desired for the damping of systems such as doors.  Underdamped : The system oscillates (with a slightly different frequency than the undamped case) with the amplitude gradually decreasing to zero.

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised Damped Oscillations The larger the damping the more difficult it is to assign a frequency to the oscillation.

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised Forced Oscillations and Resonance A force can be applied periodically to a damped oscillator (a forced oscillation). When the force is applied at the natural frequency of the system, the amplitude of the oscillations will be a maximum. This condition is called resonance.

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised Tacoma Narrows Bridge Nov. 7, 1940

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised The first Tacoma Narrows Bridge opened to traffic on July 1, It collapsed four months later on November 7, 1940, at 11:00 AM (Pacific time) due to a physical phenomenon known as aeroelastic flutter caused by a 67 kilometres per hour (42 mph) wind. The bridge collapse had lasting effects on science and engineering. In many undergraduate physics texts the event is presented as an example of elementary forced resonance with the wind providing an external periodic frequency that matched the natural structural frequency (even though the real cause of the bridge's failure was aeroelastic flutter[1]). Its failure also boosted research in the field of bridge aerodynamics/ aeroelastics which have themselves influenced the designs of all the world's great long-span bridges built since Wikipedia Tacoma Narrows Bridge

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised Aeroelasticity is the science which studies the interactions among inertial, elastic, and aerodynamic forces. It was defined by Arthur Collar in 1947 as "the study of the mutual interaction that takes place within the triangle of the inertial, elastic, and aerodynamic forces acting on structural members exposed to an airstream, and the influence of this study on design." Aeroelasticity

MFMcGraw-PHY1401Chap 10d - Elas & Vibrations - Revised Flutter Flutter is a self-feeding and potentially destructive vibration where aerodynamic forces on an object couple with a structure's natural mode of vibration to produce rapid periodic motion. Flutter can occur in any object within a strong fluid flow, under the conditions that a positive feedback occurs between the structure's natural vibration and the aerodynamic forces. That is, that the vibrational movement of the object increases an aerodynamic load which in turn drives the object to move further. If the energy during the period of aerodynamic excitation is larger than the natural damping of the system, the level of vibration will increase, resulting in self-exciting oscillation. The vibration levels can thus build up and are only limited when the aerodynamic or mechanical damping of the object match the energy input, this often results in large amplitudes and can lead to rapid failure. Because of this, structures exposed to aerodynamic forces - including wings, aerofoils, but also chimneys and bridges - are designed carefully within known parameters to avoid flutter. It is however not always a destructive force; recent progress has been made in small scale (table top) wind generators for underserved communities in developing countries, designed specifically to take advantage of this effect. In complex structures where both the aerodynamics and the mechanical properties of the structure are not fully understood flutter can only be discounted through detailed testing. Even changing the mass distribution of an aircraft or the stiffness of one component can induce flutter in an apparently unrelated aerodynamic component. At its mildest this can appear as a "buzz" in the aircraft structure, but at its most violent it can develop uncontrollably with great speed and cause serious damage to or the destruction of the aircraft. In some cases, automatic control systems have been demonstrated to help prevent or limit flutter related structural vibration. Flutter can also occur on structures other than aircraft. One famous example of flutter phenomena is the collapse of the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Aeroelastic Flutter
