Vibration Assignment 3

This document contains 4 assignments for a Theory of Vibration course. Assignment 1 involves determining the natural frequencies and modes of a 2 degree of freedom and 3 degree of freedom spring-mass system. Assignment 2 involves finding the natural frequencies, mode shapes, and response of a 4 degree of freedom spring-mass system. Assignment 3 involves using modal superposition to find the steady-state and step response of a 3 degree of freedom spring-mass system subjected to different excitations. Assignment 4 involves determining the natural frequencies and modes of a printing machine system and finding the vibration response when a torque is applied to one of the cylinders.

1. The two degree of freedom system of Figure 1a has a natural frequency of m corresponding
to a rotational mode and a natural frequency of m corresponding to transnational mode. A
block of mass m is attached to the mass center of the bar through the spring adding to a degree
of freedom.Determine k1 such that another degree of freedom of Figure 1b coincides with the
rotational degree of freedom. Determine the natural modes of the system.

Figure 1: a) 2DOF system b) 3 DOF system.

2. Find the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the spring-mass system shown in Figure 2
where ki = k for i = 1; 2; 3; 4; m1 = m3 = m and m2 = 3m. Let k = 500 N/m and m = 2 kg.
Also nd the free-vibration response for the initial conditions x1 (0) = x3 (0) = 1, x2 (0) = 0 mm;
x_ i (0) = 0 for i = 1; 2; 3. Plot the mode shapes and response in MATLAB/SCILAB.

Figure 2: Three DOF system

3. The spring mass system in Figure 3(a) has following system parameters: mi = 20 kg, ki = 10; 000
N/m and the damping ratio in each normal mode is given by i = 0:015, for i = 1; 2; 3. Two
separate excitation cases are given below:

(a) Masses and m2 are subjected to the harmonic forces F1 (t) = F2 (t) = F0 cos
t , where
m1
F0 = 450 N and
= 40 rad/s. Find the steady-state response using modal superposition.

(b) Mass m3 is subjected to a step force as shown in Figure 3(b). Find the response to the
step input using modal superposition.

For both the cases, use MATLAB/SCILAB to generate the response plots.

4. Determine the natural frequencies and normal modes of the printing machine problem (Q2
in Assignment 1). Assume CT 1 = CT 2 = CT 3 = 10  105 Nm/rad, CT 4 = 3:5  105 Nm/rad,
CT 5 = 4:2  105 Nm/rad; J1 = J2 = J3 = 3:5 kgm2 , J4 = 0:65 kgm2 , J5 = 2:5 kgm2 and J6 = 1:30
kgm2 . Also use rr34 = 5:12 and rr12 = 2:46 for your calculations. If a torque M (t) = M0 cos
t,
with M0 = 500 Nm and
= 180 rad/s is applied on the plate cylinder, nd the amplitude of
vibration of each cylinder. Assume the damping ratio  = 0:04 for all modes.
