DOM Experiment No 3

This experiment aims to study damped natural oscillation and determine the damping coefficient. It uses an elastic shaft with a flywheel attached, which can oscillate. The flywheel is connected to a damping drum that can be immersed in water to provide damping. Oscillations are recorded on paper wrapped around a recording drum. Data like amplitude, time period, and damping factor are measured and used to calculate properties like torsional stiffness, damped natural frequency, and critical damping coefficient.

DOM Experiment No 8

AIM: To study the damped natural oscillation and to determine the damping coefficient.

DESCRIPTION: This experiment consists of a long elastic shaft gripped at the upper end by
chuck in the bracket. The bracket in clamped to upper beam of the main frame. A heavy steel
flywheel clamped at the lower end of the shaft suspended from bracket. Damping drum in
fixed to the lower face of the flywheel. This drum is immersed in water, which provides
damping. Rotor can be taken up and down for varying the depth of immersion of damping
drum. Recording drum in mounted to the upper face of the flywheel. Paper is to be wrapped
around the recording drum in mounted to the upper face of the flywheel. Paper is to be
wrapped around the recording drum. Oscillations are recorded on paper with the help of
specially designed piston of dashpot. This piston carries the attachment for fixing sketch pen

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE:

1. Put water in the drum and note the depth of immersion.


2. Put the sketch pen in its bracket.
3. Allow the flywheel to vibrate.
4. Allow the pen to descend. See that the pen always makes contact with paper & record
oscillation.
5. Note down amplitude at any position at start and amplitude after ‘n’ cycles. And also
note down time for ‘n’ cycles.
6. After complete the experiment drain the water.

STANDARD DATA:

Wire dia. = 5 mm
L = Length of suspension of shaft m.
W = Weight of disc. 5.16 Kg.
