Extract

A convenient method is pointed out for calculating the response of a damped linear system with one degree of freedom to harmonic excitation. Results of such calculations are usually represented by the familiar “ resonance curves ”—one curve being plotted for each intensity of damping. These curves are not particularly convenient to use and Yates has overcome several of their defects by throwing them into a nomographic form. Yates' nomogram is based upon the concept of viscous damping and it does not give the information of a conventional set of resonance curves in that it relates to the velocity of vibration. By changing over to hysteretic damping, a nomogram of somewhat similar form may be constructed such that it gives amplitudes and phase angles of displacements while retaining the advantages, over resonance curves, of this form of representation.
