• Free Vibration: When a structure is disturbed from its equilibrium position and allowed to vibrate without any external force.
• Components of Dynamic System:
i. Mass
ii. Elastic Properties (Stiffness)
iii. Energy Loss Mechanism (Damping)
iv. The External Force Acting on the System
• The First Derivation
Use d’Alembert’s Principle to express equilibrium of forces acting on the block
------Equation 1
Equation of Motion of The Basic Dynamic System
2 Fawad Muzaffar
Note: D’Alembert’s Principle (named after French Mathematician Jean le Rond d’Alembert) states that different of sum of forces acting on a system of mass particles and time derivative of momenta of the system is equal to zero.
From Newton’s Second Law:
Assuming Viscous Damping:
Finally, the Elastic Force can be obtained from
Plugging all of the above values into Equation 1, we have

• The virtual work Derivation
If mass is given a virtual displacement 𝛿𝑣 , the total work done by
equilibrium of forces must be equal to zero.
The negative signs in the above equation indicates
that force act in the negative direction relative to the
direction of motion.
Plugging in all constituent values, we have
Since 𝛿𝑣 ≠ 0

• Influence of Gravitational Forces
From Equilibrium of forces
Expressing
The component forces can be evaluated as
The equation of motion can then be written
Noting that , we have
5 Fawad Muzaffar
Equation of Motion of The Basic Dynamic System
Since Δ𝑠𝑡 does not vary with time
The equation of motion can then be written as
Note: equation of motion expressed with reference to static-equilibrium position of dynamic system is not effected by gravity.
• Influence of Support Excitation Dynamic deflections can be induced by motion of support points e.g. i) Excitation of supports by E.Q. ii) Motions of base of equipment due
to vibration of foundation

• Assumptions – The Girder is Rigid.
– The Columns are Weightless.
– The Columns are Inextensible in Axial Direction.
– Resistance to Lateral Displacement id Provided by Columns.
– The Damper Provides a Velocity Proportion Response to Displacement
From Equilibrium in Horizontal Direction.
The Inertial Force is given by
where 𝑣 𝑡 represents total displacement of mass from fixed reference axis.
7 Fawad Muzaffar
Equation of Motion of The Basic Dynamic System
The total motion of mass, 𝑣𝑡 can be expressed as
Plugging this value of 𝑣𝑡 back into equation of motion results in
The above expression can then be manipulated to yield
Note: 𝑝𝑒𝑓𝑓(𝑡) is called effective support excitation
An alternate form of above equation can be obtained by using 𝑣𝑡 𝑡 instead of 𝑣(𝑡).
R.H.S. depends on velocity and displacement of earthquake motion.
L.H.S. depends on quantities depending on total displacement. 8 Fawad Muzaffar

plane.
where 𝐺 = |𝐺| is the length of the vector.
• Using Euler’s Identity, the polar form can be expressed as
• Note: Multiplying G by 𝑖 rotates it by 𝜋/2 e.g.
