ME313: Dynamics of Machinery: Sheet 4: Free Vibration Response

This document contains 3 problems related to free vibration response of mechanical systems: 1) A mass-spring-damper system's damping ratio and coefficient are found given the ratio of 1st to 4th displacement amplitudes. 2) For a beam-pivot-mass system, the maximum upward displacement and time are calculated. 3) For a rack-pinion system, the natural frequency and damping ratio are found, and with an initial velocity, the maximum displacement is calculated.

SHEET 4 : FREE VIBRATION RESPONSE


1. A mass of 2 kg is suspended from a spring of stiffness 1 kN/m in parallel with a viscous damper. When the mass is lifted and released, it is observed that in the ensuing oscillations the first downward displacement from the equilibrium position is four times as large as the fourth downward displacement. Find the damping ratio and the damping coefficient for the system. 0.0735; 6.57 Ns/m 2. The rigid beam shown in Fig Q2 has a moment of inertia of 10 kgm2 about the pivot at A. End C is displaced downwards by 10 mm from its equilibrium position and then released from rest. Find the maximum upward displacement of C from its equilibrium position and the elapsed time at which this occurs. 6.55 mm; 42.3 ms

In the rack and pinion gear system shown diagrammatically in Fig Q3, the pinion has a pitch circle diameter of 200 mm and a moment of inertia of 0.005 kgm2 and is connected to ground by a shaft with a torsional stiffness of 80 Nm/rad. The rack has a mass of 2 kg and is connected to ground on each side by springs with stiffness 25 kN/m and viscous dampers with damping coefficients of 50 Ns/m. (i ) (ii) Find the undamped natural frequency and the damping ratio of the system. If an impulse is applied to the rack when it is at rest such that it acquires an instantaneous velocity of 1 m/s, find the maximum displacement of the ensuing vibration.

(i) 24.2 Hz; 0.131; (ii) 5.43 mm
