Abstract

This paper investigates the impulse response of a longitudinally vibrating rod with a mass-damper-spring termination. The equations of motion of the system are derived using Lagrange's method. The vibration of the rod consists of rigid-body and elastic motions. The impulse response is predicted with a particular solution method which constructs the response as the summation of the solution satisfying homogeneous boundary conditions and a particular solution dealing with non-homogeneous boundary conditions. The particular solution method transforms the original partial differential equation to discrete dynamic systems represented in a state-space form. The transient and total impulse responses at selected locations on the rod are studied in detail. The vibration reduction of the rod by tuning the mass-damper-spring system is discussed with the help of root locus with respect to the mass, damping and stiffness parameters. The tuning of the mass-damper-spring system can change coupling between the rigid-body and elastic motions, which in turn can significantly affect the response of the rod. The method of particular solution is validated through the error analysis and response comparison of a rod with free-free boundary conditions.
