Assignment2 - Part 1

The document contains instructions for an assignment on advanced vibration engineering. It includes 5 questions related to modeling and analyzing the response of various vibrating systems, including: 1) A truck tire modeled as a single-degree-of-freedom oscillator, determining its damped natural frequency and response to non-zero initial conditions. 2) A shaft-disk system, finding the critical damping for the torsional viscous damper. 3) A lathe model, analyzing its free response for given initial displacement and velocity. 4) A quarter-car model hitting a road bump, determining the displacement response over time. 5) A diving platform model, finding the resulting vibrations from an initial

Assignment No-2 on Advanced Vibration Engineering (MEE-549)


M.Tech CAD-CAM Winter Semester 2016
E2 Slot- Dr M C Lenin Babu
General Instructions:
Assignments should be submitted in HARD COPY ONLY.
Due date - 23-02-2016
Assignment should be written legibly with all assumptions clearly mentioned

1. A wide-base truck tire is characterized with a stiffness of 1.23 106 N/m, an undamped natural
frequency of 30 Hz, and a damping coefficient of 4400 N.s/m. In the absence of forcing, we shall
determine the response of the system assuming non-zero initial conditions, evaluate the damped natural
frequency of the system, and discuss the nature of the response
2. A shaft undergoing torsional vibrations is held fixed at one end, and it has attached at the other end
a disk with a rotary inertia of 4 kg.m2 about the rotational axis. The rotary inertia of the shaft is
negligible compared to that of the disk, and the torsional stiffness of the shaft is 8 N.m/rad. The disk
is placed in an oil housing, and the associated dissipation is modeled by using an equivalent torsional
viscous damper with damping coefficient ct . What should the value of ct be so that the system is
critically damped?
3. Consider the translational vibrations of a small rigid lathe along the cutting direction. A model of
this system has a stiffness element k=20 106 N/m, an inertia element m=22.5 kg, and a damping
coefficient c=21205 N.s/m. Determine the free response of this system for a 5 mm initial displacement
and zero initial velocity. Plot the response and discuss it. How does the nature of the response of the
system change when the damping coefficient is increased to 43000 N.s/m?
4. A quarter-car model of a heavy vehicle is shown in Figure 1. This vehicle is traveling with a constant
speed v on a flat road. It hits a bump, which produces an initial displacement of 0.2 m and an initial
velocity of 0.1 m/s at the base of the system. If the mass m of the vehicle is 5000 kg, the stiffness k is
2800 kN/m, and the damping coefficient c is 18 kN.s/m, determine the displacement response of this
system and discuss when the system returns to within 2% of its equilibrium position
5. Consider the diving platform that is shown in Figure 2. The damping factor associated with this
platform, which is made from reinforced concrete, is 0.012, and the first natural frequency of the
platform-slab vibrations is designed to be 12 Hz. When a diver jumps off this platform, an initial
displacement of 1 mm and an initial velocity of 0.1 m/s are induced to the platform. Determine the
resulting vibrations
