2. Simple Harmonic Motion
Nature follows periodicity. The day and night, life and death, everything is repetitive. Periodic motion is the motion that repeats itself after a fixed interval of time. There are many type of periodic motion and the simplest of them is Simple harmonic motion. In SHM, displacement, velocity and acceleration all are sinusoidal.

3. Defn.
Any vibrating system where the restoring force is proportional to the negative of the displacement is in simple harmonic motion (SHM), and is often called a simple harmonic oscillator (SHO).
SHM is a motion that repeats itself after regular time interval such that the force acting on it is directed towards its mean position or any other fixed point in its path and the force is also proportional to displacement of the particle from that fixed point

4. Periodic Motion
Periodic motion of a body is that motion which repeats itself over and over again after a fixed interval of time. The fixed or regular interval of time after which the periodic motion is repeated again is called its time period.

5. Examples of periodic motion

The motion of moon around the earth with a time period of 27.3 days.

6. Oscillatory motion
A motion that repeats itself over and over again about its mean position, such that it remains confined within two well defined limits called extreme positions on either side of the mean position that is a fixed point, in a definite interval of time.
A periodic and bounded motion of a body about its mean position is called an oscillatory or vibratory motion.
It follows that all oscillatory motion are periodic motions but all periodic motions are not oscillatory.

7. Examples of Oscillatory Motion
When a liquid in a U – tube is displaced, it executes oscillatory motion.
When a load attached to a spring is pulled once a little from its fixed point and left.

11. HOOKE'S LAW The restoring force of an ideal spring is given by,
where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement of the spring from its unstrained length. The minus sign indicates that the restoring force always points in a direction opposite to the displacement of the spring.
oct. 8, 2012

12. Hooke's Law
One of the properties of elasticity is that it takes about twice as much force to stretch a spring twice as far. That linear dependence of displacement upon stretching force is called Hooke's law.

26. Oscillating Mass
Consider a mass m attached to the end of a spring as shown.
If the mass is pulled down and released, it will undergo simple harmonic motion.
The period depends on the spring constant, k and the mass m, as given below,

27. Simple harmonic motion is typified by the motion of a mass on a spring when it is subject to the linear elastic restoring force given by Hooke’s law. The motion is sinusoidal in time and demonstrates a single resonant frequency.

30. A mass on a spring will trace out a sinusoidal pattern as a function of time, as will any object vibrating in simple harmonic motion . One way to visualize this pattern is to walk in a straight line at constant speed while carrying the vibrating mass. Then the mass will trace out a sinusoidal path in space as well as time.

32. Oscillations of a Spring
If an object vibrates or oscillates back and forth over the same path, each cycle taking the same amount of time, the motion is called periodic. The mass and spring system is a useful model for a periodic system.

41. ENERGY IN SHM :- We already know that the potential energy of a spring is given by:
The total mechanical energy is then:
The total mechanical energy will be conserved, as we are assuming the system is frictionless.

42. If the mass is at the equilibrium point, the energy is all kinetic.
If the mass is at the limits of its motion, the energy is all potential.
If the mass is at the equilibrium point, the energy is all kinetic.
We know what the potential energy is at the turning points:
Figure Caption: Energy changes from potential energy to kinetic energy and back again as the spring oscillates. Energy bar graphs (on the right) are described in Section 8–4.

43. The total energy is, therefore, And we can write:
This can be solved for the velocity as a function of position:

48. The Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum consists of a mass at the end of a lightweight cord. We assume that the cord does not stretch, and that its mass is negligible.
Figure Caption: Strobe-light photo of an oscillating pendulum photographed at equal time intervals.
oct. 8, 2012 48

49. The Simple Pendulum
In order to be in SHM, the restoring force must be proportional to the negative of the displacement. Here we have:
which is proportional to sin θ and not to θ itself.
Figure Caption: Simple pendulum.
However, if the angle is small,
sin θ ≈ θ.

51. Therefore, for small angles, we have:
where
The period and frequency are:
oct. 8, 2012

52. So, as long as the cord can be considered massless and the amplitude is small, the period does not depend on the mass.
Figure Caption: The swinging motion of this lamp, hanging by a very long cord from the ceiling of the cathedral at Pisa, is said to have been observed by Galileo and to have inspired him to the conclusion that the period of a pendulum does not depend on amplitude.

53. If two component frequencies are very close and their difference is small. Therefore, the average frequency is much larger than modulating frequency. The phenomenon that the composite amplitude will change periodically is named a beat.

54. Free, Forced and Resonant vibrations
When a body capable of vibrating in the absence of any dissipative force under the action of a linear restoring force executes simple harmonic motion with a single natural frequency depending upon its dimensions and elastic constants, the period of motion is independent of of amplitude and the body vibrates indefinitely with constant amplitude. This type of vibrations are called free or undamped vibrations.

The vibrations of electric and magnetic fields in the electromagnetic wave propagating in free space is the best possible example of this type.

56. Damped Harmonic Motion
Damped harmonic motion is harmonic motion with a frictional or drag force. If the damping is small, we can treat it as an “envelope” that modifies the undamped oscillation.

58. Damped Harmonic Motion
If b2 > 4mk, ω’ becomes imaginary, and the system is over damped (C).
For b2 = 4mk, the system is critically damped (B) —this is the case in which the system reaches equilibrium in the shortest time.
Figure Caption: Underdamped (A), critically damped (B), and overdamped (C) motion.
oct. 8, 2012 58

59. Damped Harmonic Motion
There are systems in which damping is unwanted, such as clocks and watches.
Then there are systems in which it is wanted, and often needs to be as close to critical damping as possible, such as automobile shock absorbers and earthquake protection for buildings.
Figure Caption: Automobile spring and shock absorber provide damping so that a car won’t bounce up and down endlessly.

60. Forced Oscillations; Resonance
Forced vibrations occur when there is a periodic driving force. This force may or may not have the same period as the natural frequency of the system.
If the frequency is the same as the natural frequency, the amplitude can become quite large. This is called resonance.
Figure Caption: (a) Large-amplitude oscillations of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, due to gusty winds, led to its collapse (1940). (b) Collapse of a freeway in California, due to the 1989 earthquake.
oct. 8, 2012 60

61. Forced vibrations In case of forced vibrations:
The body vibrates with the frequency of applied force and not with its natural frequency.
The amplitude is finite and constant. It depends on the frequencies of applied force, body and damping. Lesser the difference in frequencies and lesser the damping, greater will be the amplitude of vibration.
The resulting displacement of the body is not in phase with the applied force. It will lag or lead the applied force as the frequency of applied force is lesser or greater than the natural frequency of the body.

63. Resonance
It is a special case of forced vibrations. If a body is set into vibration by an external periodic force whose frequency is equal to the natural frequency of the body, The amplitude of vibration increases at each step and becomes very large. Such vibrations are called resonant vibrations nd the phenomenon is called resonance.

65. Forced Oscillations; Resonance
The sharpness of the resonant peak depends on the damping. If the damping is small (A) it can be quite sharp; if the damping is larger (B) it is less sharp.
Figure Caption: Resonance for lightly damped (A) and heavily damped (B) systems.
Like damping, resonance can be wanted or unwanted. Musical instruments and TV/radio receivers depend on it.

The width of the resonant peak can be characterized by the Q factor:

67. Summary
