Vibrations of mechanical system

The example presented above will now be developed, as it is a problem which arises frequently in many applications. The vibrations of mechanical systems and oscillations in electrical circuits are illustrated by the following simple examples. The analogous subject of molecular vibrations is treated with the use of matrix algebra in Chapter 9.

This may be defined as the oscillatory movement of a mechanical system, and it may be sinusoidal or non-sinusoidal (also known as complex). Vibration can occur in many modes, and the simplest is the single freedom-of-movement system. A mass/spring diagram (Figure 42.7) can explain the vibration of a system. 

Tools for the predictive behavior of a design have developed from classical and numerical methods of the past to the current finite element analysis (FEA) utilized by today s engineers and chemists. FEA is a computer-based analytical tool used to perform stress, vibration, and thermal analysis of mechanical systems and structures. A set of simultaneous equations will represent the behavior of a system or structure under load. Because this is a very important tool, some time will be devoted to the discussion of it, but this is not meant to be a comprehensive study.

The advantage of this formulation is that the partition functions for all compounds featuring in the reaction can be calculated using statistical mechanics for vibrational and rotational motion of mechanical systems. While this is still a difficult problem, a detailed consideration of different reacting systems yields a mechanistic insight in how the reaction occurs on a molecular level.

We haven t yet considered what these vibrations might actually look like. In any system of vibrating objects, such as a molecule, there is a set of equations of motion (in classical physics) or vibrational wavefunctions (in quantum mechanics) called normal modes that describe the lowest-energy motions of the system. In the normal modes, each atom in the molecule oscillates (if it moves at all) back and forth across its equilibrium position at the same frequency and phase as every other atom in the molecule. At higher vibrational energy, the motions can be more complicated, but we can write those motions as a combination of different normal modes. Any vibration of the system can be expressed as a sum of the normal modes they are one possible basis set of vibrational coordinates.

In other words, the four equations of motion obtained for the entire system using H turn out to be the same as the two equations of motion obtained from the H function and the two equations of motion obtained from the H" function. This comes about because the vibration of the system, which is motion in the r-direction, does not affect and is not affected by the translation of the system, which is motion in the s-direction. Therefore, H alone is sufficient if only internal motion mechanics are of interest translational motion of the system is uncoupled or separated from the internal motion of vibration. 

Even with these complications due to anliannonicity, tlie vibrating diatomic molecule is a relatively simple mechanical system. In polyatomics, the problem is fiindamentally more complicated with the presence of more than two atoms. The anliannonicity leads to many extremely interestmg effects in tlie internal molecular motion, including the possibility of chaotic dynamics. 

Diatomic molecules have only one vibrational mode, but VER mechanisms are paradoxically quite complex (see examples C3.5.6.1 and C3.5.6.2). Consequently there is an enonnous variability in VER lifetimes, which may range from 56 s (liquid N2 [18]) to 1 ps (e.g. XeF in Ar [25]), and a high level of sensitivity to environment. A remarkable feature of simpler systems is spontaneous concentration and localization of vibrational energy due to anhannonicity. Collisional up-pumping processes such as... 

Molecular dynamics is a simulation of the time-dependent behavior of a molecular system, such as vibrational motion or Brownian motion. It requires a way to compute the energy of the system, most often using a molecular mechanics calculation. This energy expression is used to compute the forces on the atoms for any given geometry. The steps in a molecular dynamics simulation of an equilibrium system are as follows ...
