Transmissibility Analysis of Single DOF System

The document describes an experiment to measure the transmissibility of vibrations transmitted from a vibrating base to a sprung mass using a vibration shaker. The experimental setup consists of a base plate excited by rotating cams connected to four springs and an accelerometer-equipped mass. Transmissibility is calculated as the ratio of acceleration readings of the mass and base across different frequencies. Results are plotted as a transmissibility graph with frequency to show the motion transmitted from the base to the mass.

Transmissibility Analysis

of Single DOF System


EXPERIMENT NO:7

AIM OF THE EXPERIMENT:-

To plot motion transmissibility with base excitation using vibration shaker.

THEORY:

Many machine components or instruments are subjected to forces from the support.
For example while moving in a vehicle; the ground undulation will cause vibration which will be
transmitted to the passenger. Such a system can be modelled by a spring-mass-damper system
as shown in figure-1(a).

Figure 1

Let y(t) denote the displacement of the base and x(t) the displacement of the mass from its
static equilibrium position at time t. Then the net elongation of the spring is x− y and the
relative velocity between the two ends of the damper is ẋ− ẏ.

Here the support motion is considered in the form of y (t)=Ysint, which is transmitted to mass
m, by spring(stifness k) and damper (Damping coefficient c). let x be the vibration of the mass
about its equilibrium position.

From the free-body diagram shown in Figure-1(b), we obtain the equation of motion:

m ẍ + c ( ẋ− ẏ ) +k ( x− y ) =0

EXPERIMENTAL SETUP:

The setup diagram is as shown in figure 2. The base plate gets excited due to the
rotation of the cams. The two cams are in phase with each other. The sprung mass is supported
by the four springs.

The accelerometer is mounted on the sprung mass. The vibration data detected by the
accelerometer is sent to the FFT analyser. These signals can be analyzed using the RT-Pro
Photon software.
PROCEDURE:

1. Place the accelerometer on the top of the sprung mass


2. Connect the accelerometer to the FFT analyser and FFT analyser to computer
3. Set-up the software RT-Pro Photon
4. Enter the units and sensitivity value of the accelerometer and the other information for
the trial. Start the trial after setup has been completed
5. Store the reading in the form of the report using the quick report option in the software
6. From each plot, note the values of peak acceleration and corresponding frequency
