Tutorial + Correction Mechanical Vibration Chapter 4

The document contains 10 exercises involving calculating forced vibration responses of 1 DOF systems. Exercise 1 asks to calculate the amplitude of transmitted displacement for a machine supported on a flexible floor vibrating near resonance. Exercise 2 involves determining amplitude and unbalanced mass values for an unbalanced machine. Exercise 3 asks for vibration amplitudes of a machine supported by four springs given unbalance mass and rotation speeds.

Applications: Forced Vibration of 1 DOF Systems
Exercise 1
A machine weighing 2000 N rests on a support as illustrated in Figure below. The support
deflects about 5 cm as a result of the weight of the machine. The floor under the support is
somewhat flexible and moves, because of the motion of a nearby machine, harmonically near
resonance (r =1) with an amplitude of 0.2 cm.
Model the floor as base motion, and assume a damping ratio of  = 0.01, and calculate the
amplitude of the transmitted displacement.

Exercise 2
Consider a typical unbalanced machine problem as given in Figure below with a machine mass
of 120 kg, a mount stiffness of 800 kN/m and a damping value of 500 kg/s. The out of balance
force is measured to be 374 N at a running speed of 3000 rev/min.
a) Determine the amplitude of motion due to the out of balance.
b) If the unbalanced mass is estimated to be 1% of the total mass, estimate the value of the e.

Typical unbalance machine problem.

Exercise 3
A 40 kg machine is supported by four springs each of stiffness 250 N/m. The rotor is unbalanced
such that the unbalance effect is equivalent to a mass of 5 kg located at 50mm from the axis of

1
rotation. Find the amplitude of vibration when the rotor rotates at 1000 rpm and 60 rpm. Assume
damping coefficient to be 0.15
Exercise 4
The static deflection of the vibrometer mass is 20 mm. The instrument when attached to a
machine vibrating with a frequency of 125 cpm records relative amplitude of 0.03 cm.
Determine
(a) The amplitude of vibration
(b) The maximum velocity of vibration
(c) The maximum acceleration.
Exercise 5
An eccentric mass exciter is used to determine the vibratory characteristics of a structure of
mass 200 kg. At a speed of 1000 rpm a stroboscope showed the eccentric mass to be at the
bottom position at the instant the structure was moving downward through its static equilibrium
position and the corresponding amplitude was 20 mm. If the unbalance of the eccentric is 0.05
kg-m, determine,
(a) The undamped natural frequency of the system
(b) The damping factor of the structure
(c) The angular position of the eccentric at 1300 rpm at the instant when the structure is moving
downward through its equilibrium position.
Exercise 6
Derive the equation of motion and find the steady-state response of the system shown in Figure
below for rotational motion about the hinge O for the following data k1 = k2 = 5000 N/m, a =
0.25 m, b = 0.5 m, l = 1 m, M = 50 kg, m = 10 kg, v = 1000 rpm. F0 = 500N

Exercise 7
The trailer shown is being pulled over an undulating road at a velocity v. The contour of the
road is such that it can be approximated by a sine wave having a wavelength of 3 m. and
amplitude of 1.5 mm. The total static deflection of the springs and tires of the trailer due to its

2
weight has been measured as 38 mm. Assuming that damping is viscous of magnitude 0.05,
determine:

a) The speed v at which the amplitude of the trailer will be maximum,


b) The maximum amplitude, and
c) The amplitude when the speed 90 Km/hr
Exercise 8
An electric motor of mass M, mounted on an elastic foundation, is found to vibrate with a
deflection of 0.15 m at resonance (Fig. 3.20). It is known that the unbalanced mass of the motor
is 8% of the mass of the rotor due to manufacturing tolerances used, and the damping ratio of
the foundation is =0.025. Determine the following:
a. the eccentricity or radial location of the unbalanced mass (e),
b. the peak deflection of the motor when the frequency ratio varies from resonance, and
c. the additional mass to be added uniformly to the motor if the deflection of the motor at
resonance is to be reduced to 0.1 m.

Assume that the eccentric mass remains unaltered when the additional mass is added to the
motor.

Exercise 9
Figure below shows a simple model of a motor vehicle that can vibrate in the vertical direction
while traveling over a rough road. The vehicle has a mass of 1200 kg. The suspension system

3
has a spring constant of 400 kN/m and a damping ratio of If the vehicle speed is 20 km/hr,
determine the displacement amplitude of the vehicle. The road surface varies sinusoidally with
an amplitude of y=0.05 m and a wavelength of 6 m.

Exercise 10
A single-cylinder air compressor of mass 100 kg is mounted on rubber mounts, as shown in
Figure below. The stiffness and damping constants of the rubber mounts are given by 106N/m
and 2000 N-s/m, respectively. If the unbalance of the compressor is equivalent to a mass 0.1 kg
located at the end of the crank (point A), determine the response of the compressor at a crank
speed of 3000 rpm. Assume r = 10 cm and l = 40 cm.
