  • Question 1
    2 / -0.33
    A vibrating system consists of a mass of 50 kg, a spring with a stiffness of 30 kN/m and a damper. The damping provided is only 20% of the critical value. Determine the natural frequency of damped vibration.
    Solution

    Concept:

    \( {ω _d} = {ω _n}\sqrt {1 - {ξ ^2}} \)

    where, ωn = natural frequency, ξ = damping ratio

    Calculation:

    Given: C = 0.2 Cc , mass (m) = 50 kg, stiffness (k) = 30 kN/m

    \(ξ = \frac{C}{{{C_c}}} = 0.2\)

    \({ω _n} = \sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} = \sqrt {\frac{{30 \times {{10}^3}}}{{50}}} = 24.5\;rad/sec\)

    \({ω _d} = {ω _n}\sqrt {1 - {ξ ^2}} = 24.5 \times \sqrt {1 - {{\left( {0.2} \right)}^2}} = 24\;rad/sec\)
  • Question 2
    2 / -0.33
    The equation of motion of a forced damped vibration system is given as \(3\ddot x + 9\dot x + 27x = 0\), The damping factor is_______
    Solution

    Concept:

    \(\xi = \frac{C}{{{C_c}}}\)

    Equation of motion

    \(m\ddot x + c\dot x + kx = 0\)

    Calculation:

    Comparing, we get

    m = 3 kg, C = 9 Ns/m,  k = 27 N/m

    \({C_c} = \sqrt {{km}} = 2\sqrt {27 \times 3} = 18\;\;Ns/m\)

    \(\therefore \xi = \frac{C}{{{C_c}}} = \frac{9}{{18}}\)

    ξ = 0.5

  • Question 3
    2 / -0.33
    For steady-state forced vibrations what is the phase difference at resonance (in degrees) _____?
    Solution

    Concept:

    \({\rm{Phase\;difference\;}}\left( \phi \right) = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{2\xi \left( {\frac{\omega }{{{\omega _n}}}} \right)}}{{1 - {{\left( {\frac{\omega }{{{\omega _n}}}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)\)

    At resonance ω  = ωn

    ϕ = tan-1 (∞) = 90°

  • Question 4
    2 / -0.33
    A spring mass system has natural frequency of 5 rad/s and damping factor is 0.3. What is ratio of 2 successive amplitudes of vibration?
    Solution

    Concept:

    Logarithmic decreament \(\left( \delta \right) = \frac{{2\pi \xi }}{{\sqrt {1 - {\xi ^2}} }}\)

    Calculation:

    ξ = 0.3

    \(\therefore \delta = \frac{{2\pi\; \times\; 0.3}}{{\sqrt {1\; - \;{{0.3}^2}} }}\)

    δ = 1.976

    Ratio of 2 successive amplitude is always constant and given as,

    \(\frac{{{X_n}}}{{{X_{n + 1}}}} = {e^\delta } = {e^{1.976}}\)

    \(\therefore \frac{{{X_n}}}{{{X_{n + 1}}}} = 7.21\)

  • Question 5
    2 / -0.33

    A mass of 0.5 kg is suspended in a vertical plane by a spring having a stiffness coefficient of 300 N/m. If the mass is displaced downward from its static equilibrium position through a distance 0.01 m, determine the natural frequency of the system.

    Solution

    Equation of motion will be:

    \(0.5\;\ddot x + 300\;x = 0\) 

    \(0.5\;\ddot x + 300\;x = 0\) 

    Natural frequency:

    \(\omega = \sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} = \sqrt {\frac{{300}}{{0.5}}} = 24.5\;rad/s\) 

    \(f = \frac{\omega }{{2\pi }} = 3.9\;Hz\)

    Note:

    \(\omega = \sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} = \sqrt {\frac{g}{{{\delta _{st}}}}} \) 

  • Question 6
    2 / -0.33

    The equation of motion for a single degree of freedom system with viscous damping is \(16\ddot x + 5\dot x + 4x = 0\). The damping ratio of the system is

    Solution

    Concept:

    Damping ratio \(= \frac{C}{{{C_c}}} \)

    where Cc = 2√ km and c = damping coefficient.

    Calculation:

    \(16\ddot x + 5\dot x + 4x = 0\)

    By comparing this equation with \(m\ddot x + c\dot x + kx = 0\)

    \(\begin{array}{l} m\; = 16,\;c = 5,k = 4\\ {C_c} = 2√ {km} \\ {C_c} = 2√ {4 \times 16} = 16 \end{array}\)

    ∴ Damping ratio \(= \frac{C}{{{C_c}}} = \frac{5}{{16}}\)

  • Question 7
    2 / -0.33
    In a system with a rotating unbalance of 1 kg at a radius of 1 cm rotates at very large speed, much above resonance speed. The mass of system is 100 kg. The amplitude of vibration will be in order of ____
    Solution

    Concept:

    \(X = \frac{{\frac{{{m_0}r{\omega ^2}}}{k}}}{{\sqrt {{{\left( {1 - {r^2}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {2\xi r} \right)}^2}} }}{\rm{\;and\;}}{\omega _n} = \sqrt {\frac{k}{{M\;}}\;} \)

    For large ω, the ratio ω/ωn ≫ 1

    \(\therefore X = \frac{{{m_0}r}}{M}\)

    Calculation:

    \(X = \frac{{{m_0}r}}{M}\)

    \(X = \frac{{1\; \times \;1}}{{100}}\)

    ∴ X = 0.01 cm   

  • Question 8
    2 / -0.33
    A cantilever beam of cross section area ‘A’, moment of Inertia I and length ‘L’ is having natural frequency ω1. If the beam is accidentally broken into two halves, the natural frequency of the remaining cantilever beam ω2 will be such that 
    Solution

    Concept:

    \(\omega = \sqrt {\frac{g}{\delta }} \;\)

    For cantilever beam:

    \(\begin{array}{l} \delta = \frac{{P{L^3}}}{{3EI}}\\ \omega = \sqrt {\frac{g}{\delta }} = \sqrt {\frac{{3EIg}}{{P{L^3}}}} \Rightarrow \omega \propto \sqrt {\frac{1}{{{L^3}}}} \\ \frac{{{\omega _2}}}{{{\omega _1}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{L_1^3}}{{L_2^3}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{L^3}}}{{{{\left( {\frac{L}{2}} \right)}^3}}}} = 2\sqrt2 \\ {\omega _2} > {\omega _1} \end{array}\)

  • Question 9
    2 / -0.33
    In an experiment a student by mistake took a force with excitation frequency. √2 times the natural frequency what do we expect his calculated transmissibility be?
    Solution

    Concept:

    \({\rm{Transmissibility\;}} = \frac{{{{\left[ {1 + {{\left( {2\xi \frac{\omega }{{{\omega _n}}}} \right)}^2}} \right]}^{1/2}}}}{{{{\left[ {{{\left( {1 - \frac{{{\omega ^2}}}{{\omega _n^2}}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {2\xi \frac{\omega }{{{\omega _n}}}} \right)}^2}} \right]}^{1/2}}}}\)

    Calculation:

    ω  = √2 ωn

    \(\therefore Transmissibility = \frac{{{{\left( {1 + 8{\xi ^2}} \right)}^{\frac{1}{2}}}}}{{{{\left( {1 + 8{\xi ^2}} \right)}^{\frac{1}{2}}}}} = 1.0\)

  • Question 10
    2 / -0.33

    A damped mass spring system has mass of 10 kg, spring stiffness of 4000 N/m and damping coefficient of 40 Ns/m. The amplitude of forcing function, F0 is 60 N and the forcing frequency is 40 rad/sec. Determine the amplitude of the force transmitted to the support (in N).

    Solution

    Concept:

    FT is the force transmitted to the foundation. The disturbing force is F. The ratio of FT to F is called transmissibility.

    \(T.R = \frac{{{F_T}}}{F} = \frac{{\sqrt {1 + {{\left( {2\xi \frac{\omega }{{{\omega _n}}}} \right)}^2}} }}{{\sqrt {{{\left( {1 - {{\left( {\frac{\omega }{{{\omega _n}}}} \right)}^2}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {2\xi \frac{\omega }{{{\omega _n}}}} \right)}^2}} }}\)

    The steady state amplitude for the system:

    \(A = \frac{{\frac{F}{k}}}{{\sqrt {{{\left( {1 - {{\left( {\frac{\omega }{{{\omega _n}}}} \right)}^2}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {2\xi \frac{\omega }{{{\omega _n}}}} \right)}^2}} }}\)

    Calculation:

    Given: m = 10 kg, k = 4000 N/m, C = 40 Ns/m, F = 60 N

    ω = 40 rad/sec

    \({\omega _n} = \sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} = \sqrt {\frac{{4000}}{{10}}} = 20\;rad/sec\)

    Frequency Ratio:

    \(r = \frac{\omega }{{{\omega _n}}} = \frac{{40}}{{20}} = 2\)

    The critical damping coefficient:

    \({c_c} = 2m\;{\omega _n} = 2\sqrt {mk} = 2\sqrt {10 \times 4000} = 400\;N.s/m\)

    The damping factor, ξ:

    \(\xi = \frac{C}{{{C_c}}} = \frac{{40}}{{400}} = 0.1\)

    Transmissibility:

    \(T.R = \frac{{{F_T}}}{F} = \frac{{\sqrt {1 + {{\left( {2\xi \frac{\omega }{{{\omega _n}}}} \right)}^2}} }}{{\sqrt {{{\left( {1 - {{\left( {\frac{\omega }{{{\omega _n}}}} \right)}^2}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {2\xi \frac{\omega }{{{\omega _n}}}} \right)}^2}} }}\)

    \(T = \frac{{\sqrt {1 + {{\left( {2 \times 0.1 \times 2} \right)}^2}} }}{{\sqrt {{{\left( {1 - {2^2}} \right)}^2} + \left( {2 \times 0.1 \times 2} \right)^2} }} = \frac{{1.07703}}{{3.02654}} = 0.3559\)

    The amplitude of the force transmitted:

    FT = (T.R) F = (0.3379) × 60

    ∴ F= 21.35 N

  • Question 11
    2 / -0.33
    Two heavy rotors are mounted on a shaft. Considering each rotor separately the transverse natural frequencies obtained are 200 Hz and 310 Hz respectively. What is the lowest critical speed (rpm)?
    Solution

    Concept:

    To calculate lowest critical speed (w)

    \(\omega = 2\pi f = 2\pi \frac{N}{{60}}\) 

    f = frequency, N = rpm, ∴ f = N/60

    ⇒ N = 60 f

    Dunkerley’s empirical formula

    \(\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{{{f^2}}} + \frac{1}{{f_2^2}}\)

     Calculation:

    \(\frac{1}{{{f^2}}} = \frac{1}{{{{200}^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{{310}^2}}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow f = 168.059\) 

    N = 60 f = 10083.55 rpm

  • Question 12
    2 / -0.33

    A steel shaft of diameter 2 cm carries a disc of mass 19.2 kg supported in long bearings at it’s mid span of length 0.5 m. The critical speed of shaft (rpm) is ____ (Both the ends are fixed)

    (E = 200 GPa)

    Solution

    Concept:

    For long bearing: fixed-fixed end condition

    \(k = \frac{{192\;EI}}{{{\ell ^3}}}\)

    \({\omega _n} = \sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} = \sqrt {\frac{{192\;EI}}{{m{\ell ^3}}}} \)

    Calculation:

    \(I = \frac{{\pi {d^4}}}{{64}} = \frac{{\pi\; \times \;{{\left( {0.02} \right)}^4}}}{{64}} = 7.854 \times {10^{ - 9}}{m^4}\)

    \({\omega _n} = \sqrt {\frac{{192\; \times \;2\; \times \;{{10}^{11}}\; \times \;7.854\; \times \;{{10}^{ - 9}}}}{{19.2\; \times \;{{\left( {0.5} \right)}^3}}}} = 354.5\;rad/s\)

    \({f_n} = \frac{{{\omega _n}}}{{2\pi }} = \frac{{354.5}}{{2\pi }} = 56.42\;\;Hz\)

    N = 60 fn = 60 × 56.42

    ∴ N = 3385.13 rpm

  • Question 13
    2 / -0.33
    A machine weighing 4 kg is vibrating in a fluid medium. Harmonic force of magnitude 50 N acts on it and produces resonance amplitude of 20 mm with frequency of 12 Hz. The value of damping coefficient is ________Ns/m
    Solution

    Fluid medium ⇒ viscous damping

    m = 4 kg, F0 = 50 N

    Resonance amplitude (X) = 20 mm

    \(X = \frac{{{F_0}}}{{2\xi k}},\;T = \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{{12}}s\)

    \(\omega = \frac{{2\pi }}{T} = 2\pi \times 12\)

    ω = 24π rad/s

    Now,

    \(\xi = \frac{C}{{2\sqrt {mk} }}\)

    \(\xi k = \frac{C}{2}\sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} = \frac{C}{2}\omega \)

    \(\therefore X = \frac{{2{F_0}}}{{2C\;\omega }} = \frac{{{F_0}}}{{C\omega }}\)

    \(C = \frac{{{F_0}}}{{X\omega }}\)

    \(C = \frac{{50}}{{24\pi }} \times \frac{1}{{0.020}}\)

    C = 33.157 Ns/m

  • Question 14
    2 / -0.33
    A 45 kg machine is mounted on four parallel springs each of stiffness 0.2 MN/m. When machine operates at 32 Hz, the machine’s steady state amplitude is measured as 1.5 mm. What is magnitude of excitation force provided to the machine at this speed?
    Solution

    Concept:

    \(X = \frac{{{F_0}/k}}{{\sqrt {{{\left( {1 - {r^2}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {2\xi r} \right)}^2}} }}\)

    Calculation:

    \({\omega _n} = \sqrt {\frac{{{k_{eq}}}}{M}}\)

    keq = 4 × k = 4 × 0.2 × 106 = 0.8 × 106 N/m

    M = 45 kg

    \(\therefore {\omega _n} = \sqrt {\frac{{0.8\; \times \;{{10}^6}}}{{45}}} = 133.33\;rad/s\)

    ω = 2πn = 2π × 32 = 201.06 rad/s

    \(r = \frac{\omega }{{{\omega _n}}} = \frac{{201.06}}{{133.33}}\)

    ∴ r = 1.508

    Now,

    Magnification factor of an undamped system is given as,

    \(MF = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{{\left( {1 - {r^2}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {2\xi r} \right)}^2}} }}\)

    For Undamped, ζ = 0

    \(\therefore MF = \frac{1}{{\left| {\left( {1 - {r^2}} \right)} \right|}}\)

    \(MF = \frac{1}{{\left| {1 - {{\left( {1.51} \right)}^2}} \right|}} = 0.7812\)

    Using equation of amplitude

    \(X = \frac{{{F_0}/{k_{eq}}}}{{\sqrt {{{\left( {1 - {r^2}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {2\xi r} \right)}^2}} }}\)

    \(\therefore {F_0} = \frac{{m\omega _n^2X}}{{MF}}\)

    \({F_0} = \frac{{45\; \times \;{{\left( {133.3} \right)}^2}\; \times \;0.0015}}{{0.7812}}\)

    ∴ F­0 = 1.536 kN ≈ 1.54 kN

  • Question 15
    2 / -0.33
    In a spring mass system, the mass is 0.2 kg and the stiffness of the spring is 1 kN/m. By introducing a damper of damping coefficient 8.5 Ns/m, by what percentage will the frequency of oscillation change w.r.t. original value?
    Solution

    Concept:

    Natural frequency:

    \({\omega _n} = \sqrt {\frac{k}{m}}\)

    2ξωn = c/m

    Damping factor:

    \(\xi = \frac{c}{{{c_c}}} = \frac{c}{{2\sqrt {km} }} = \frac{c}{{2m{\omega _n}}}\)

    Damped frequency:

    \({{\rm{\omega }}_{\rm{d}}} = \sqrt {1 - {\xi ^2}} {\omega _n}\)

    Calculation:

    Given: m = 0.2 kg, k = 1 kN/m = 1000 N/m, c = 8.5 Ns/m

    \({\omega _n} = \sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} = \sqrt {\frac{{1000}}{{0.2}}} = 70.71\;rad/s\)

    \(\xi = \frac{c}{{2\sqrt {km} }} = \frac{{8.5}}{{2\sqrt {1000 \times 0.2} }} = 0.3\)

    \({{\rm{\omega }}_{\rm{d}}} = \sqrt {1 - {\xi ^2}} {\omega _n} = \sqrt {1 - {{\left( {0.3} \right)}^2}} \times 70.71 = 67.45\;rad/s\)

    % change in frequency of oscillation = (ωd – ωn)/ωn

    = (67.45 - 70.71)/70.71 = -0.0461 = -4.6%

    The negative sign indicates the decrease.
