Sample Probs - Lect 28

This document contains sample problems from a lecture on vibration isolation. Problem 2.76 describes a vibration isolation unit made of rubber blocks bonded to a plate and rigid supports. It asks the reader to determine the effective spring constant of the system given the force applied and deflection. Problem 3.10 considers reducing the mass of an assembly by using a smaller diameter shaft, and calculates the minimum diameter needed to avoid increasing the maximum shearing stress.

PROBLEM 2.76

A vibration isolation unit consists of two blocks of hard rubber with a


modulus of rigidity G = 19 MPa bonded to a plate AB and to rigid
supports as shown. Denoting by P the magnitude of the force applied
to the plate and by δ the corresponding deflection, determine the
effective spring constant, k = P/δ , of the system.

PROBLEM 3.10

In order to reduce the total mass of the assembly of Prob. 3.9, a new design
is being considered in which the diameter of shaft BC will be smaller.
Determine the smallest diameter of shaft BC for which the maximum value
of the shearing stress in the assembly will not increase.

SOLUTION 3.10

Shaft AB: TAB = 300 N ⋅ m, d = 0.030 m, c = 0.015 m


Tc 2T (2)(300)
τ max = = =
J π c3 π (0.015)3
= 56.588 × 106 Pa = 56.6 MPa

Shaft BC: TBC = 300 + 400 = 700 N ⋅ m


d = 0.046 m, c = 0.023 m
Tc 2T (2)(700)
τ max = = 3
=
J πc π (0.023)3
= 36.626 × 106 Pa = 36.6 MPa

The largest stress (56.588 × 106 Pa) occurs in portion AB.

Reduce the diameter of BC to provide the same stress.

c = 19.895 × 10−3 m d = 2c = 39.79 × 10−3 m
d = 39.8 mm t
