Student Manual of Torsional Vibration Apparatus

This document describes an experiment to determine the period of torsional vibration using a simple torsional vibration apparatus. The period is measured as a function of the torsion rod length, diameter, and rotating mass. The apparatus consists of a base plate, ring, disc, and upper and lower chucks to hold the specimen rod. Formulas are provided for the moment of inertia, torsional stiffness, and polar moment of inertia. The procedure involves fixing the shaft at one end, attaching a rotor, measuring the shaft length, twisting and releasing the rotor, timing 50 oscillations, and repeating for different lengths. Observations are then recorded and analyzed to understand how period depends on length, diameter, and mass.

Simple Torsional Vibration Apparatus

Introduction: -

Torsional vibration is angular vibration of an object commonly a shaft along its axis of rotation. Torsional vibration is
often a concern in power transmission systems using rotating shafts or couplings where it can cause failures if not
controlled. In ideal power transmission system using rotating parts the torque applied or reacted are “smooth” leading to
constant speeds. In reality this is not the case. The torques generated may not be smooth (e.g., internal combustion
engines) or the component being

Objective:-
Determine of the period of torsional vibration as a function of:

i. Torsion rod length


ii. Torsion rod diameter.
iii. Rotating mass and its form

Apparatus:-

1. Base Plate 2. Ring

3. Disc 4. Upper Chuck

5. Specimen Rod 6. Lower Chuck

Formula Use:-

Moment of inertia:

m=mass of disc (kg)


D= diameter of disc (m)
Torsional Stiffness:

G= Modulus of rigidity (N/ )(for S.S 304 its value is 70.3 Gpa)
L= Length of Shaft(m)

1
Polar moment of inertia:

d=Diameter of shaft

Procedure:-

1. Fix the bracket at convenient position along the beam as shown in figure.
2. Grip the shaft at the bracket by means of chuck and tighten it with key.
3. Fix the rotor on the other end of the shaft.
4. Note down the length of shaft with a measuring tape.
5. Twist the rotor through some angle and release.
6. Note down the time required for 50 oscillations with a stop watch.
7. Repeat the procedure for 5 times and take average value to avoid error.
