INTRODUCTION
We have seen that the forcing function in a forced vibration
system can have forcing function type as
Harmonic (including rotating eccentric mass)
Periodic
Transient
Random
Of this, we have seen system response to Harmonic function
like unbalance.

Transient Vibrations
Transient vibration is defined as a temporarily sustained vibration of a
mechanical system.
It may consist of forced or free vibrations, or both.
Transient loading, also known as impact, or mechanical shock, is a
non-periodic excitation, which is characterized by a sudden and
severe application.
In real life, mechanical shock is very common.
Some examples of shock could be a forging hammer, an automobile
passing trough a road bump, the free drop of an item from a height,
etc.

In analysis of systems involving mechanical shock, most of times is

necessary to idealize the forcing function (displacement, velocity,
acceleration or force) of such system, as a step or pulse function.
The equation of motion of SDOF for a transient force is written as.

The solution of this ODE is carried out using Laplace Transform.

The response is dependent on the type of function, but the system
vibrates at natural frequency of vibration.

It can be seen that to analyze transient vibrations,

The forcing function need to be clearly known
The system goes in to natural frequency of
vibration.
The transient dies down over a period of time.

Random Vibrations
In mechanical engineering, random vibration is motion which is non-
deterministic, meaning that future behavior cannot be precisely
predicted.
The randomness is a characteristic of the excitation or input, not the
mode shapes or natural frequencies.
Some common examples include an automobile riding on a rough
road, wave height on the water or the load induced on an airplane
wing during flight.

The discussions so far was on the deterministic type of vibration

here the forcing functions and the response both were deterministic.
In practice all the systems are random.
In actual practice, the precise value of displacement or response is not
possible to predict.
Structural response to random vibration is usually treated using
statistical or probabilistic approaches.
In mathematical terms, random vibration is characterized as an
ergodic and stationary process.
