Assignment 2 PDF

This document contains 5 problems related to mechanical vibrations and damping. The problems involve determining natural frequencies and damping ratios of spring-mass systems, calculating required spring stiffness to reduce vibration amplitude, and comparing the amplitude of vibration with and without damping. The document shows the problems are mapped to CLO2 (analyze mechanical vibrations and damping) and PLO2 (apply vibration and damping analysis to machine design problems).

1. A machine weighing 250 lb is mounted on a supporting system consisting of four springs and
four dampers. The vertical deflection of the supporting system under the weight of the machine
is measured as 0.8 in. The dampers are designed to reduce the amplitude of vertical vibration
to one-eighth of the initial amplitude after two complete cycles of free vibration. Determine
the following properties of the system: (a) undamped natural frequency, (b) damping ratio, and
(c) damped natural frequency. Comment on the effect of damping on the natural frequency.

2. A heavy table is supported by flat steel legs (Fig. P2.1). Its natural period in lateral vibration
is 0.5 sec. When a 50-lb plate is clamped to its surface, the natural period in lateral vibration
is lengthened to 0.75 sec. Determine the weight and the lateral stiffness of the table.

3. A delicate instrument is to be spring mounted to the floor of a test laboratory where it has been
determined that the floor vibrates freely with harmonic motion of amplitude 0.1in at 10 cycles
per second, If the instrument weighs 100lb. Determine the stiffness of isolation springs
required to reduce the vertical motion amplitude of the instrument to 0.01 in. neglect damping.

4. A delicate instrument is to be spring mounted to the floor of a test laboratory where it has been
determined that the floor vibrates freely with harmonic motion of amplitude 0.1in at 10 cycles
per second, If the instrument weighs 100lb. Determine the stiffness of isolation springs
required to reduce the vertical motion amplitude of the instrument to 0.01 in. neglect damping.

5. A machine is supported on four steel springs for which damping can be neglected. The natural
frequency of vertical vibration of the machine–spring system is 200 cycles per minute. The
machine generates a vertical force p(t) = po sin ωt. The amplitude of the resulting steady state
vertical displacement of the machine is uo = 0.2 in. when the machine is running at 20
revolutions per minute (rpm), 1.042 in. at 180 rpm, and 0.0248 in. at 600 rpm. Calculate the
amplitude of vertical motion of the machine if the steel springs are replaced by four rubber
isolators that provide the same stiffness but introduce damping equivalent to ζ = 25% for the
system. Comment on the effectiveness of the isolators at various machine speeds.
