The boundary conditions established by the machine design determine the freedom of movement permitted within the machine-train. A basic understanding of this concept is essential for vibration analysis. Free vibration refers to the vibration of a damped (as well as undamped) system of masses with motion entirely influenced by their potential energy. Forced vibration occurs when motion is sustained or driven by an applied periodic force in either damped or undamped systems. The following sections discuss free and forced vibration for both damped and undamped systems. 

The jump diffusion model with damped vibrations was applied to the analysis of the dynamic scattering laws S(Q,co) of the E-process far above the glass transition temperature Tg, where the conformational transitions are mainly dominated by the intramolecular interactions in a polymer chain, so that it is not necessary to take into accounts intermolecular cooperativity effects on the conformational transitions.

Similar information can be obtained from analysis by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (dmta). Dmta measures the deformation of a material in response to vibrational forces. The dynamic modulus, the loss modulus, and a mechanical damping are deterrnined from such measurements. Detailed information on the theory of dmta is given (128). 

Theoretical analysis indicates that the phononic damping depends strongly on resonance frequency of molecule vibrations. The experimental values of yi )ph in Table 2 are found much larger than the contributions from electronic damping, which is mainly due to the higher resonance frequency of perpendicular vibrations of hydrocarbons on Cu(lOO). 

Note The principal objective of shop verification by response to unbalance is to verify the existence of a critical speed (vibration peak) within tolerance of the calculated value, or if the analysis predicted a highly damped critical speed, the absence of a vibration peak within tolerance of calculated value. Shop verification by this method is feasible only for pumps that have sleeve bearings and are furnished with proximity probe pairs at each journal bearing. 

Chemical, Physical, and Mechanical Tests. Manufactured friction materials are characterized by various chemical, physical, and mechanical tests in addition to friction and wear testing. The chemical tests include thermogravimetric analysis (tga), differential thermal analysis (dta), pyrolysis gas chromatography (pgc), acetone extraction, liquid chromatography (lc), infrared analysis (ir), and x-ray or scanning electron microscope (sem) analysis. Physical and mechanical tests determine properties such as thermal conductivity, specific heat, tensile or flexural strength, and hardness. Much attention has been placed on noise /vibration characterization. The use of modal analysis and damping measurements has increased (see Noise POLLUTION AND ABATEMENT).
