GROUP ASSIGNMENT 1

1. The free vibrations of a system are governed by the differential equation


2𝑥̈ + 40𝑥̇ + 1800𝑥 = 0, with initial conditions x (0) = 0.001 m and ẋ (0) = 3 m/s.
Calculate or specify the following.
a) The natural frequency,
b) The damping ratio,
c) Whether the system is undamped, underdamped, critically damped, or overdamped
d) The undamped period,
e) The frequency in Hz,
f) The damped natural frequency (if appropriate),
g) The logarithmic decrement (if appropriate),
h) The amplitude,
i) The phase between the response and a pure sinusoid (if appropriate),
j) The free response of the system
2. A mass m is supported by two sets of springs oriented at 30° and 120° with respect to the X-
axis, as shown in Figure P2. A third pair of springs, each with a stiffness of k3, is to be
designed so as to make the system have a constant natural frequency while vibrating in any
direction x. Determine the necessary spring stiffness k3 and the orientation of the springs
with respect to the X-axis.

3. The system shown in Figure P3 has a natural frequency of 5 Hz for the following data: m =
10 kg, J0 = 5 kg-m2, r1 = 10 cm, r2 = 25 cm. When the system is disturbed by giving it an
initial displacement, the amplitude of free vibration is reduced by 80% in 10 cycles.
Determine the values of k and c.

Determine the time dependent response of the system if m = 2 kg, L = 80 cm, r = 10 cm, k =
20,000 N/m and c = 300 N-s/m.

6. A spring-mass-damper system, having an undamped natural frequency of 100 Hz and a
damping constant of 20 N-s/m, is used as an accelerometer to measure the vibration of a
machine operating at a speed of 3000 rpm. If the actual acceleration is 10 m/s 2 and the
recorded acceleration is 9 m/s2, find the mass and the spring constant of the accelerometer.
7. A vibrometer has an undamped natural frequency of 10 Hz and a damped natural frequency
of 8 Hz. Find the lowest frequency in the range to infinity at which the amplitude can be
directly read from the vibrometer with less than 2% error.
