Catalog Description

Dynamic loads and undesired oscillations increase with higher speed of machines. At the same time,
industrial safety standards require better vibration reduction. This course covers parameter
identification, balancing of mechanisms, torsional and bending vibrations, vibration isolation, and the
dynamic behaviour of drives and machine frames as complex systems. Typical dynamic effects, such
as the gyroscopic effect, damping and absorption, shocks, nonlinear and self-excited vibrations are
covered in dynamics of machinery. Upon completion, students should be able to analyze the effect of
dynamic forces on systems and try to minimize negative impact of such effects.

The mass of each ball is 5 kg and the mass of the central sleeve is 30 kg. The radius of
 rotation of the balls is 150 mm when the sleeve begins to rise and reaches a value of
200mm for the maximum speed. Determine the speed range of the governor. If the
