A single cylinder vertical petrol engine of total mass 320 kg is mounted upon a steel chassis frame and causes a vertical state deflection of 0.2 cms. The reciprocating parts of the engine have a mass of 24 kg and moves through a vertical stroke of 15 cms with SHM. ‘e’ can be considered to be half the stroke length. A dashpot is provided, the damping resistance of which is directly proportional to the velocity and amounts to 490 N at 0.3 m/sec. Determine the following: i) Speed of driving shaft at which resonance will occur. ii) Amplitude of steady forced vibrations when driving shaft of the engine rotates at 490 rpm. 6. A motor mass of 60 kg is mounted on a simply supported beam that has a stiffness of 39200 N/m. The rotor of the motor has a mass of 10 kg and has an eccentricity of 0.1 mm. What will be the amplitude of vibrations of the motor when it runs at 1440 rpm? Neglect damping, the weight of the beam and deflection of the motor shaft. Derive the equation used, starting from the fundamentals. 7. Time of free vibration of a mass hung from the end of a helical spring is 0.8 sec. When the mass is stationary, the upper end is made to move upwards with displacement ‘y’ mm given by 𝑦 = 18 𝑆𝑖𝑛 2𝜋𝑡, where ‘t’ is the time in seconds measured from the beginning of the motion. Neglecting the mass of spring and damping effects, determine the vertical distance through which the mass is moved in the first 0.3 seconds. 8. The support of a spring mass system is vibrating with an amplitude of 5 mm and a frequency of 1150 cycles/min. If the mass is 0.9 kg and the spring has a stiffness of 1960 N/m, determine the amplitude of vibration of the mass. What amplitude will result if a damping factor of 0.2 is included in the system? 9.
