Tech VI (Sixth) Semester Examination 2012-13

Course Code: EME603 Paper ID: 0966124

Mechanical Vibrations

Time: 3 Hours Max. Marks: 70


Max Marks: 75

Note: Attempt six questions in all. Q. No. 1 is compulsory.

1. Answer any five of the following (limit your answer to 50


words). (4x5=20)
a) Is the motion of a piston in a reciprocating engine a simple
harmonic motion? Explain clearly.
b) What are the main causes of vibration and how the
undesirable vibrations can be eliminated or reduced?
c) A spring-mass-dashpot system has a static deflection 1 cm.
Would the natural frequency obtained from this static
deflection be the undamped natural frequency? Give reasons.
d) Why is the use of an inertial block beneficial in the problems
of transmissibility?
e) When a mass-spring system is in a free oscillation, what is
the rate at which the potential or kinetic energy varies? why?
f) For coulomb friction what are the various parameters and
variables the equivalent viscous damping coefficient depend
upon? Are you surprised anything in this?
g) Define the term “whirling speed of shaft”. Also, briefly
explain the phenomena of whirling.
h) How does damping alter the performance of the dynamic
vibration absorber?

2. a) How the dampings has been classified in vibrating system?


Discuss about the coulomb damping. (5)
b) A unknown mass ‘m’ is attached to one end of a spring
stiffness ‘K’ having natural frequency of 6 Hz. When 1kg of
mass is attached with the ‘m’, the natural frequency is
lowered by 20%. Determine the value of unknown mass ‘m’
and stiffness ‘K’. (5)
3. a) Explain the working of fluid dashpot viscous damper with 7. For the system shown in Fig.2 , (a) Find flexibility matrix and
neat sketch. (5) write the differential equation of motion in terms of
b) A mass of 10 kg is supported by a steel wire 1m in diameter flexibility matrix. (b) Show that the product of stiffness
and 3 meters long. The system is made to move upwards with matrix and flexibility matrix is a unit matrix. (10)

suddenly stopped. Determine the frequency and the
amplitude of the resulting vibrations of the mass and the 8. Write short notes on the following: (2.5x4=10)
maximum stress in the wire. (5) a) Degree of Freedom
b) Beats Phenomenon
4. A vibratory body of mass 150 kg supported on springs of c) Vibration Measuring Instruments
total stiffness 1050 kN/m has a rotating unbalance force of d) Influence Numbers
525 N at a speed of 6000 r.p.m. If the damping factor is 0.3,
determine the amplitude caused by the unbalance and its
phase angle. (10)

5. In a two mass torsional system two wheels are mounted 0.15


m apart on a shaft 40mm diameter. If the moments of inertial
of the two wheels are J1 = 1.2 kg-m 2 and J2=2.0 kg-m2, find
the position of the node and the frequency of the free
torsional oscillations.
If both the rotors are coupled to the shaft through similar
torsional spring couplings, find the torsional stiffness of these
couplings so as to reduce to half the natural frequency of the
complete system in torsion. (10)

6. Find the lowest natural frequency of transverse vibrations for


the system shown schematically in Fig. 1 by Rayleigh’s
method. E = 1.96x1011 N/m2, I = 10-6 m4. (10)
