damped and undamped- free and forced vibration
Balancing of rotating mass
 The high speed of engines and other machines is a
common phenomenon now-a-days. It is, therefore, very
essential that all the rotating and reciprocating parts
should be completely balanced as far as possible.
 If these parts are not properly balanced, the dynamic forces
are set up.
 These forces not only increase the loads on bearings
and stresses in the various members, but also
produce unpleasant and even dangerous vibrations
Intro……
 whenever a certain mass is attached to a rotating
shaft, it exerts some centrifugal force, whose
effect is to bend the shaft and to produce vibrations in
it.
 In order to prevent the effect of centrifugal force,
another mass is attached to the opposite side of
the shaft, at such a position so as to balance the effect
of the centrifugal force of the first mass.
Intro……
 centrifugal force of both the masses are made to be equal and opposite.
 The process of providing the second mass in order to
counteract the effect of the centrifugal force of the first mass, is
called balancing of rotating masses.

 The following cases are important from the subject point of view:
1. Balancing of a single rotating mass by a single mass rotating in
the same plane.
2. Balancing of a single rotating mass by two masses rotating in
different planes.
3. Balancing of different masses rotating in the same plane.
4. Balancing of different masses rotating in different planes.
Dynamic balancing

 Dynamic balancing, simply put, is a method through which we


balance the moving parts of a machine, or piece of industrial
machinery.
 To do this, we rotate these parts at high speeds.
 When we do this we are able to gain a measurement of the
imbalance within each individual rotating component.
Balancing of a Single Rotating Mass By a Single Mass Rotating in the
Same Plane
Balancing of a Single Rotating Mass By Two Masses Rotating in
Different Planes

In order to put the system in complete balance, two


balancing masses are placed in two different planes,
parallel to the plane of rotation of the disturbing
mass, in such a way that they satisfy the
following two conditions of equilibrium.

1.The net dynamic force acting on the shaft is equal


to zero.This requires that the line of action of three
centrifugal forces must be the same. In other words, the
centre of the masses of the system must lie on the axis of
rotation. This is the condition for static balancing.
2.The net couple due to the dynamic forces acting on the shaft is
equal to zero. In other words, the algebraic sum of the moments about
any point in the plane must be zero.

The conditions (1) and (2) together give dynamic balancing.

The following two possibilities


may arise while attaching the two balancing masses :
1.The plane of the disturbing mass may be in between the planes
of the two balancing masses, and
2.The plane of the disturbing mass may lie on the left or right of
the two planes containing the balancing masses.
It may be noted that equation (i) represents the condition for static
balance, but in order to
achieve dynamic balance, equations (ii) or (iii) must also be satisfied.
Balancing of Several Masses Rotating in the
Same Plane

Consider any number of masses (say four) of magnitude m1, m2, m3 and m4 at
distances of r1, r2, r3 and r4 from the axis of the rotating shaft. Let θ1, θ2,θ3 and
θ4 be the angles of these masses with the horizontal line OX, as shown in Fig.
. Let these masses rotate about an axis through O and perpendicular to the plane
of paper, with a constant angular velocity of ω rad/s
