Assignment 1 2

The document contains 4 structural dynamics problems asking students to determine responses and forces for various mechanical systems subjected to vibrations and loads. Problem 1 asks students to determine the response of a mass dropped onto a cantilever beam. Problem 2 asks students to calculate the required static deflection of an isolator to achieve 80% isolation for an air conditioner. Problem 3 asks students to determine the steady-state response of a two degree-of-freedom system. Problem 4 asks students to calculate displacements, inter-story shear forces, and elastic forces in a shear building subjected to rectangular loading using modal superposition and response spectra methods.

Structural Dynamics

Assignment I & II (30%)

Please write answers neatly and briefly.

Problem #1
A mass of 5 kg is dropped onto the end of a cantilever beam with a velocity of 0.5 m/s. The
impact causes vibrations of the mass, which sticks to the beam. The beam is made of steel (E
=210 x109 N/m2), is 2.1 m long, and has a moment of inertia I = 3 x10 –6 m4. Neglect inertia of
the beam and assume no damping. Determine the response of the mass.

Problem #2
An air conditioner weighs 1 kN and is driven by a motor at 500 rpm. What is the required static
deflection of an undamped isolator to achieve 80 percent isolation? Assume no damping.
[5 points]

Problem #3
For two degree-of-freedom system shown below, determine the steady-state response of the
system. Assume no damping [5 points]

Problem #4
Calculate the displacement of the shear building structure shown in below subjected to
rectangular loading by modal superposition of spectral response method. Also, calculate inter-
story shear forces and the elastic force at each floor level. The total mass lumped at each floor
is m = 40,000 kg and the lateral stiffness of each story is k = 15 × 10 6 N/m. Assume no
damping. [15 points]
