There are mainly three basic types of vibration according to the axis of body move :
- Longitudinal vibration
- Transverse vibration
- Torsional vibration
Now we can check it out in detail below. Let us check out the different types of mechanical vibration here in this article. Before you start you can check some basic introduction of mechanical vibration.
- Longitudinal vibration :
- Transverse vibration :
- Torsional vibration :
There are also some more vibrations that are following below :
- Free and Forced vibration
- Linear and non-linear vibration
- Damped and Un-damped vibration
- Deterministic and Random vibration
Now we can check it out in detail below :
- Free vibration :
Example - Simple pendulum
- Forced vibration
The vibration which is under the influence of external force is called forced vibration.
Example - Machine tools, electric bells
- Linear vibration :
They are governed by linear differential equations.
They follow the law of superposition.
- Non-linear vibration :
If any of the basic components of a vibratory system behaves non-linearly that type of vibration is called non-linear in nature.
Linear vibration becomes non-linear for a very large amplitude of vibrations.
They do not follow the law of superposition.
- Damped and Un-damped vibration :
On the other hand, the system that has no damper is known as un-damped vibration.
- Deterministic and Random vibration :
The non-deterministic vibration is known as random vibrations.
