1 Introduction to Dynamical Modelling <strong>of</strong> <strong>Machines</strong> and Structures<br />

and Experimental Analysis <strong>of</strong> Mechanical Vibrations<br />

based on the Human Senses<br />

1.1 Summary<br />

The aim <strong>of</strong> this study is to show some theoretical and experimental examples to facilitate the<br />

understanding <strong>of</strong> the physical meaning <strong>of</strong> the main topics and definitions used in relation to<br />

vibrations in machines. Theoretical and experimental studies are led side-by-side, clarifying<br />

the definitions <strong>of</strong> stiffness, flexibility, natural frequency, damping factor, logarithmic decrement,<br />

resonance, phase, beating, unbalance, natural mode shape, modal node and so on. The experimental<br />

investigations are always carried out in low frequency ranges, aiming at making easy<br />

the visualization <strong>of</strong> the movements by the human eyes and the understanding <strong>of</strong> the mechanical<br />

vibrations without necessarily having to use sensors and electronic devices.<br />

1.2 Description <strong>of</strong> the Test Facilities<br />

Figures 1 and 2 show the simple elements used during the experimental investigations: a flexible<br />

beam (ruler), concentrated masses or magnets, a support, an accelerometer, a signal amplifier, a<br />

shaker and a signal analyzer. The beam or ruler already has a scale, enabling it to easily achieve<br />

the information about the position (length) where the magnets will be mounted. At each position<br />

more than one magnet can be mounted, allowing changes in the values <strong>of</strong> the concentrated<br />

masses. The masses or magnets can be easily moved and attached to different positions along<br />

the ruler, aiming at investigating changes in the natural frequencies <strong>of</strong> the magnet-ruler system<br />

(mass-spring system). The ruler is very flexible in one plane only due to the characteristic <strong>of</strong><br />

its cross-section (moment <strong>of</strong> inertia <strong>of</strong> area). The beam can easily be mounted with different<br />

boundary conditions, as free-free, clamped-free, simply supported in both ends, etc. allowing an<br />

investigation <strong>of</strong> the influence <strong>of</strong> the boundary conditions on its flexibility, and consequently on<br />

the natural frequencies <strong>of</strong> the system.<br />

Regarding rotating machines some analogies can be made between the mass-spring system presented<br />

here and a centrifugal compressor, while comparing the ruler (or flexible beam) to the<br />

flexible shaft, and the magnets (or concentrated masses) to the impellers or rigid discs. Changes<br />

in the montage <strong>of</strong> shaft into the bearings (boundary conditions) or changes in the positioning<br />

<strong>of</strong> the impellers along the shaft will lead to different critical speeds and mode shapes.<br />

As mentioned above, the mass-spring system was designed to have a very flexible behavior with<br />

very low natural frequencies. This allows the detection <strong>of</strong> natural frequencies, modes shapes<br />

and resonance using the human eyes as sensors (or sighting senses). Moreover, it is also made<br />

possible to excite the structure with human fingers, aiming at understanding the 90 degrees<br />

phase between displacement and excitation (while operating around resonance conditions) by<br />

means <strong>of</strong> tactile senses. Accelerometer, amplifier, shaker and signal analyzer are used aiming at<br />

confirming what the human senses detect.<br />
