Tutorial-5

1. A precision grinding machine Fig. is supported on an isolator that has a stiffness of 1


MN/m and a viscous damping constant of 1 kN-s/m. The floor on which the machine
is mounted is subjected to a harmonic disturbance due to the operation of an unbalanced
engine in the vicinity of the grinding machine. Find the maximum acceptable
displacement amplitude of the floor if the resulting amplitude of vibration of the
grinding wheel is to be restricted to 10-6 m. Assume that the grinding machine and the
wheel are a rigid body of weight 5000 N.

2. An air compressor of mass 100 kg is mounted on an elastic foundation. It has been


observed that, when a harmonic force of amplitude 100 N is applied to the compressor,
the maximum steady-state displacement of 5 mm occurred at a frequency of 300 rpm.
Determine the equivalent stiffness and damping constant of the foundation.
3. Find the frequency ratio 𝑟 = 𝜔/𝜔0 at which the amplitude of a single-degree-of-
freedom damped system attains the maximum value. Also find the value of the
maximum amplitude.
4. A spring-mass-damper system is subjected to a harmonic force. The amplitude is found
to be 20 mm at resonance and 10 mm at a frequency 0.75 times the resonant frequency.
Find the damping ratio of the system.
5. A video camera, of mass 2.0 kg, is mounted on the top of a bank building for
surveillance. The video camera is fixed at one end of a tubular aluminum rod whose
other end is fixed to the building as shown in Fig. The wind-induced force acting on
the video camera, f(t), is found to be harmonic with 𝑓(𝑡) = 25𝑐𝑜𝑠75.3984𝑡 N.
Determine the cross-sectional dimensions of the aluminum tube if the maximum
amplitude of vibration of the video camera is to be limited to 0.005 m.
6. It is required to design an electromechanical system to achieve a natural frequency of
1000 Hz and a Q factor of 1200. Determine the damping factor and the bandwidth of
the system.
7. The peak amplitude of a single-degree-of-freedom system, under a harmonic excitation,
is observed to be 0.2 in. If the undamped natural frequency of the system is 5 Hz, and
the static deflection of the mass under the maximum force is 0.1 in., (a) estimate the
damping ratio of the system, and (b) find the frequencies corresponding to the
amplitudes at half power.

8. The landing gear of an airplane can be idealized as the spring-mass-damper system


shown in Fig. If the runway surface is described 𝑦(𝑡) = 𝑦0 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜔𝑡, determine the values
of k and c that limit the amplitude of vibration of the airplane (x) to 0.1 m. Assume m
= 2000kg, 𝑦0 = 0.2m, and 𝜔 =157.08 rad/s.
