Name: Naser Alajmi Me 372 System Dynamics Homework # 2

This document contains homework problems involving system dynamics calculations. Problem 1 calculates the damping force F for two masses with given displacements x1 and x2 over time. Problem 2 sets up equations of motion for two masses m1 and m2 connected by springs with stiffness k1 and k2. Problem 3 sets up the equations of motion for the same two mass system, including damping and gravitational forces.

Me 372 System Dynamics


Homework # 2
Problem 1:

Damping force = b = 2.56 N-sec/cm


1
Displacement 1= 𝑥1 = t +2.5cos5t cm
2

Displacement 2=𝑥2 = cos15t cm

Force = F = ?

Sol :

As

F= b(𝑥̇ 1 + 𝑥̇ 2 )
1
𝑥̇ 1 =2 – 12.5sin5t

𝑥̇ 2 =-15sin15t
1
F=2.56×(2 – 12.5sin5t-15sin15t)

At t=6 sec

F= -53.12 N

Matlab Code:
t=0:0.1:6;

Func=2.56*(1/2-(12.5*(sin(5*t)))-15*sin(15*t));

plot(t,Func);
Problem 2: for m1

F(t)-k1x1-k2(x1-x2)-b1𝑥̇ 1 -M1𝑥1̈=0

F(t)=k1x1+k2(x1-x2)+b1𝑥̇ 1 +M1𝐶

for m2

K2(x1-x2)-M2𝑥2̈-b2𝑥2̇=0

Problem 3:

for mass 1:

M1𝑥1̈+ k2(x1-x2)+k1x1=M1g
M1𝑥1̈+ x1(k1+k2)-k2x1=M1g

For mass 2:

M2g + b𝑥2̇+k2x2+M2𝑥2̈=k2(x1-x2)

k1x1- M2g - b𝑥2̇-k2x2- x2(k1+k2)= M2𝑥2̈
