Physical Modeling of Dynamic


Systems and Lumping of Parameters
Example 1: Equivalent spring constant of the system

The boom AB of crane is a uniform steel bar of length 10 m and x-section area of 2,500
mm2. A weight W is suspended while the crane is stationary. Steel cable CDEBF has x-
sectional area of 100 mm2. Neglect effect of cable CDEB, find equivalent spring constant
of system in the vertical direction.
Solution
Example 2: Spring combination

Find the equivalent spring constant of the system shown in


Fig. below.
Example 3: Equivalent mass of the System

Find the equivalent mass of the system shown, where the rigid link 1 is
attached to the pulley and rotates with it.
Solution
 Assuming small displacements, the equivalent mass can be determined
using the equivalence of the kinetic energies of the two systems.
 When the mass m is displaced by a distance x, the pulley and the rigid link 1
rotate by an angle 𝜃𝑃 = 𝜃1 = 𝑥 𝑟𝑃 .
 This causes the rigid link 2 and the cylinder to be displaced by a distance
𝑥2 = 𝜃𝑃 𝑙1 = 𝑥𝑙1 𝑟𝑃.
 Since the cylinder rolls without slippage, it rotates by an angle 𝜃𝑐 = 𝑥2 𝑟𝑐 =
𝑥𝑙1 𝑟𝑃 𝑟𝑐 .
 The kinetic energy of the system (T) can be expressed (for small
displacements) as:
Cont’d

 Where

 Substituting

 Taking we have;
 A cam-follower mechanism is used to convert the rotary motion
of a shaft into the oscillating or reciprocating motion of a valve.
The follower system consists of a pushrod of mass mp, a rocker
arm of mass mr, and mass moment of inertia Jr about its C.G., a
valve of mass mv, and a valve spring of negligible mass. Find
the equivalent mass meq of this cam-follower system by
assuming the location of as (i) point A and (ii) point C.
