Refer to the figure which shows a ship's propeller, drive train, engine, and flywheel. The diameter ratio of the gears is D1/D2=2/3. The inertias in kg-m2 of gear 1 and gear 2 are 100 and 500, respectively. The flywheel, engine, and propeller inertias are 104, 103, and 2500, respectively. The torsional stiffness of shaft 1 is 5×106 N-m/rad, and that of shaft 2 is 106 N-m/rad. Because the flywheel inertia is so much larger than the other inertias, a simpler model of the shaft vibrations can be obtained by assuming the flywheel does not rotate. In addition, because the shafts between the engine, gears and propeller are short, we will assume that they are very stiff compared to shaft 2. However, there are losses in the gear system which are represened by a damper with a damping coefficient of 300 Ns/rad. If we also disregard the shaft inertias, the resulting model consists of two inertias, one obtained by lumping the engine and gear inertias, and one for the propeller as seen in the figure below. kr2 C1 a. Develop the system of dynamic equations for this engine / propeller. b. Find the characteristic equation using the Laplace transform method. C. Based on the roots of the CE, how will the propeller behave?
Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements
Measurement is a term that refers to analyzing a manufactured component regarding the degree of accuracy for dimensions, tolerances, geometric profile, roundness, flatness, smoothness, etc. Measurement always involves comparing the manufactured component or the prototype with a standard specimen whose dimensions and other parameters are assumed to be perfect and do not undergo changes with respect to time.Precisely in mechanical engineering the branch that deals with the application of scientific principles for measurements is known as metrology. The domain of metrology in general deals with various measurements like mechanical, chemical, thermodynamic, physical, and biological measurements. In mechanical engineering, the measurements are limited to mechanical specific such as length, mass, surface profile, flatness, roundness, viscosity, heat transfer, etc.
Basic principles of engineering metrology
Metrology is described as the science of measurement, precision, and accuracy. In other words, it is a method of measurement based on units and predefined standards.
