Free undamped vibrations

Whenever an object/system displaces in either side of its equilibrium position with the help of an external/internal means, then the object/system moves regularly or randomly on both sides of its equilibrium position. This motion is called vibration. Gen…

Textbook Question

Chapter 19.4, Problem 19.126P

A small trailer and its load have a total mass of 250 kg. The trailer is supported by two springs, each of constant 10 kN/m, and is pulled over a road, the surface of which can be approximated by a sine curve with an amplitude of 40 mm and a wavelength of 5 m (i.e., the distance between successive crests is 5 m and the vertical distance from crest to trough is 80 mm). Determine (a) the speed at which resonance will occur, (b) the amplitude of the vibration of the trailer at a speed of 50 km/h.

A sensitive electronic system, of mass 25 kg, is supported by a spring-damper isolator that rests on the floor of a manufacturing plant. The operation of nearby rotating equipment causes the floor to vibrate with an amplitude of 8 mm at a frequency of 35 Hz. The electronic system can only operate effectively if the amplitude of its acceleration is less than 40 m/s2. It is known that the damping ratio of the isolator is 0.1. i. Determine the maximum stiffness of the isolator needed for the transmitted acceleration level to be acceptable and hence facilitate effective operation of the electronic system. Using the calculated stiffness value, also determine the largest deformation of the spring in millimetres when the system is in motion. ii. If the damping ratio is allowed to increase by only increasing the equivalent damping coefficient (c) of the isolator, discuss the effect this change would have on the response of the electronic system when operating in the same environment. In your…

A 25-kg mass is suspended from a spring with a constant of 2 N/mm, which is in turn suspended at the end of a steel cantilever beam with a thickness of 3mm, a width of 20 mm, and a length of 250 mm. Determine the natural frequency of the motion of the weight. + Hints: Please use stainless steel for the cantilever beam in this problem. Table 5 attached at the end of this assignment may come in handy. m The natural frequency w₂ can be found as wn = where k is the spring stiffness of the system and m is the mass.
