Random Vibration Characteristics
Vibrationdata
One common characteristic of these examples is that the motion varies randomly with
time. Thus, the amplitude cannot be expressed in terms of a "deterministic"
mathematical function.
Dave Steinberg wrote:
The most obvious characteristic of random vibration is that it is
nonperiodic. A knowledge of the past history of random motion is
adequate to predict the probability of occurrence of various acceleration
and displacement magnitudes, but it is not sufficient to predict the precise
magnitude at a specific instant.

Optics Analogy
Vibrationdata

Sinusoidal vibration is like a laser beam

Random vibration is like “white light”

White light passed through a prism produces a
spectrum of colors

Music Analogy
Vibrationdata


Playing a single piano key produces sinusoidal
vibration (fundamental + harmonics)
Playing all 88 piano keys at once produces a
signal which approximates random vibration
5
Types of Random Vibration

Random vibration can be broadband or narrow band

Random vibration can be stationary or nonstationary


Vibrationdata
Stationary random vibration is where the key statistical parameters remain
constant with each consecutive time segment
Parameters include: mean, standard deviation, histogram, power spectral
density, etc.

Shaker table tests can be controlled to be stationary for the test duration

Measured data is usually nonstationary

White noise and pink noise are two special cases of random vibration

White Noise
Vibrationdata



Commercial white noise
generator designed to produce
soothing random noise which
masks household noise as a
sleep aid.

White noise and pink noise are two special cases
of random vibration
White noise is a random signal which has a
constant power spectrum for a constant
frequency bandwidth
It is thus analogous to white light, which is
composed of a continuous spectrum of colors
Static noise over a non-operating TV or radio
station channel tends to be white noise
7
Pink Noise
Vibrationdata



Waterfalls and oceans waves
may generate pink noise

Pink noise is a random signal which has a constant
power spectrum for each octave band
This noise is called pink because the low
frequency or “red” end of the spectrum is
emphasized
Pink noise is used in acoustics to measure the
frequency response of an audio system in a
particular room
It can thus be used to calibrate an analog graphic
equalizer

Histogram Comparison
Vibrationdata
Sine Vibration has bathtub shaped histogram
 Sine vibration tends to linger at its extreme values
Random Vibration has a bell-shaped curve histogram
 Random vibration tends to dwell near zero
Thus, there is no real way to directly compare sine and random vibration.
But we can “sort of” make this comparison indirectly by taking a rainflow cycle count of
the response of a system to each time.
Rainflow fatigue will be covered in future units.

Vibrationdata
Pure sine vibration has a peak value that is 2 times its RMS
value
Random vibration has no fixed ratio between its peak and RMS
values
Again, the ratio between the absolute peak and RMS values in
the previous example is
4.5 G / 1 G = 4.5

Statistics of Sample Time History
Vibrationdata

Random vibration is often considered to have a 3 peak for design purposes

Need to differentiate between input and response levels

Response is more important for design purposes, fatigue analysis, etc.

Both input and response can have peaks > 3 even for stationary vibration

SDOF Response to White Noise
Vibrationdata
The equation of motion was previously derived in Webinar 2.
Apply the white noise base input from the previous example as a base
input to an SDOF system (fn=600 Hz, Q=10).
21
Solving the Equation of Motion
Vibrationdata
A convolution integral is used for the case where the base input acceleration is
arbitrary.
The convolution integral is numerically inefficient to solve in its equivalent digitalseries form.
Instead, use…
Smallwood, ramp invariant, digital recursive filtering relationship!

SDOF Response, Close-up View
Vibrationdata
SDOF system tends to vibrate at its natural frequency. 60 peaks / 0.1 sec = 600 Hz.
24
Histogram of SDOF Response
Vibrationdata
The response time history is
narrowband random.
The histogram has a normal
distribution.
25
Histogram of SDOF Response Peaks
Vibrationdata
The histogram of the absolute
response peaks has a Rayleigh
distribution.

Rayleigh Distribution





Vibrationdata
Consider a lightly damped, single-degree-of-freedom system subjected to
broadband random excitation
The system will tend to behave as a bandpass filter
The bandpass filter center frequency will occur at or near the system’s natural
frequency.
The system response will thus tend to be narrowband random. The
probability distribution for its instantaneous values will tend to follow a
Normal distribution, which the same distribution corresponding to a
broadband random signal
The absolute values of the system’s response peaks, however, will have a
Rayleigh distribution

Unit 4 Exercise 1
Vibrationdata
Consider an avionics component. It is powered and monitored during a bench
test. It passes this "functional test."
Nevertheless, it may have some latent defects such as bad solder joints or bad
parts. A decision is made to subject the component to a base excitation test on a
shaker table to check for these defects. Which would be a more effective test:
sine sweep or random vibration? Why?
