What are the relationships between frequency, amplitude (double) and acceleration?

Hi all, I´m sorry for my sort of trivial issue to solve. Anyway, imagine two discs rotating at the same rpm. They are the same size - same radius, same thickness. The mass is ideally distributed around the axis, so there is originally no disbalance. One of the disc is made of iron, the...

I am designing a plate that will attach to the roll cage of my off-road vehicle. The plate will be supported on each end by the frame. I want to make sure that vibrations from the engine do not cause the plate to oscillate out of control. How do I calculate this out?

Normal modes of vibration, two masses, two spring, arranged vertically with m2 at the top, m1 underneath arranged (top to bottom) m2, k2, m1, k1, rigid support I have solved the first part of an undamped coupled spring problem to give m_1m_2 \omega ^ 4 + ((m_1+m_2)k_2+m_2k_1)\omega ^2...

In some questions I am doing, you set of a pair of simultaneous equations and in the notes we have that . For a non trivial solution of X1 and X2,the determinant of coefficients of X1 and X2 must be zero. An equation might typically look like this (m \omega^2 +k_1)x_1 +k_2 x_2=0 Why must...

An atom has the following energy of vibration: E= nhv. n can only be in the range of whole numbers. So if an vibrating atom changed energy, say from 6hv to 2hv, it means that 4hv of energy is released in light/photons Does that mean that 4 photons are "released" by the atom (?), because...

Hi guys, I hope we got some expert out here for vibration profile problems. I have a device that need to be on a shaker table but I need to "find" its profile to see if the shaker table can actually run this experiment. The Shaker table is Unholtz-Dickie system SA30-560B and I have data...

Hey all! Does vibration create a wave or a disturbance? If I have something like a particle or something more massive like a molecule, and it vibrates, does it create a wave function? If you have a stadium of people (yea I know, silly example) and one line of people start a wave or...

I know this question is probably fairly basic but I had a hard time finding an answer on google. Does a single atom vibrate/jiggle/oscillate if it has a temperature (ie is not at absolute zero)? Is this vibration random in direction? If it is random, wouldn't this violate the law of...

Hi, I have forgotten quite a bit of my vibration studies, so I have a fairly basic question. Essentially, when you want to find the natural frequency of a single dof system, you use ω=√k/m. However, does anyone know a general procedure (not problem-specific) for finding "k" that is applicable to...

Hi! I'm trying to find a good way to predict fatigue caused by a random vibration (given PSD). I know at least 2 ways of doing it but I'm questioning them both. One of them is using the rain flow count algorithm at a simulated acceleration/time signal to generate a certain amount of...

I have read that every body possesses some energy of vibration due to the thermodynamic character and it is equal to 1/2 kT. Does this mean that we can detect the vibrations of bodies? Or ,as it is, does it ultimately end up as heat? Regards, Boltzmann2012
