Mechanical Vibrations MDPN471 Fall 2014

Problem Set 05

Problem 1. A four-cylinder automobile engine is to be supported on three shock mounts, as


indicated in Fig. 01. The engine-block assembly weighs 225 kg. If the unbalanced force
generated by the engine is given by 900 sin 100 πt N, design the three shock-mounts (each of
stiffness k and viscous-damping constant c) such that the amplitude of vibration is less than
0.25 cm.
Problem 2. The propeller of a ship, of weight 100 kN and polar mass moment of inertia 10,000
kg.m2 is connected to the engine through a hollow stepped steel propeller shaft, as shown in
Fig. 02. Assuming that water provides a viscous damping ratio of 0.1, determine the torsional
vibratory response of the propeller when the engine induces a harmonic angular displacement
of 0.05 sin 314.16t rad at the base (point A) of the propeller shaft.
Problem 3. A video camera, of mass 2.0 kg, is mounted on the top of a bank building for
surveillance. The video camera is fixed at one end of a tubular aluminum rod whose other end
is fixed to the building as shown in Fig. 03. The wind-induced force acting on the video
camera, f(t), is found to be harmonic with f(t) = 25 cos 75.3984t N. Determine the cross-
sectional dimensions of the aluminum tube if the maximum amplitude of vibration of the video
camera is to be limited to 0.005 m.

Problem 4. A spring-mass-damper system is subjected to a harmonic force. The amplitude is found


to be 20 mm at resonance and 10 mm at a frequency 0.75 times the resonant frequency. Find
the damping ratio of the system.

Problem 5. A turbine rotor is mounted on a stepped shaft that is fixed at both ends as shown in
Fig. 05. The torsional stiffnesses of the two segments of the shaft are given by
kt1 = 3,000 N-m/rad and kt2 = 4000 N-m/rad. The turbine generates a harmonic torque given by
M(t) = Mo cos ωt about the shaft axis with Mo = 200 N-m and ω = 500 rad/s. The mass moment
of inertia of the rotor about the shaft axis is Jo = 0.05 kg-m2. Assuming the equivalent torsional
damping constant of the system as ct = 2.5 N-m-s/rad, determine the steady-state response of
the rotor, Ѳ(t).

Problem 6. For a vibrating system, m = 10 kg, k = 2500 N/m, and c = 45 N-s/m. A harmonic force
of amplitude 180 N and frequency 3.5 Hz acts on the mass. If the initial displacement and
velocity of the mass are 15 mm and 5 m/s, find the complete solution representing the motion
of the mass.
