1. In class, we derived expressions for the response of a simple spring mass damper that is hanging down (with gravity acting downwards). Similarly, devire equations of motion and the response when ( < 1), for the cases in which the spring-mass-damper is horizontal, and iwhen the spring-mass-damper is vertical with the mass above the spring and damper. Highlight the key differences in the three cases. (Please ask if these descriptions are not clear, the figures were provided in class and hence not included here). 2. List at least two examples of day-to-day vibratiing or oscillating systems (either small or large) that can be approximated as a spring-mass-damper system (examples from around campus are preferred). 3. For forced vibrations with damping ( > 0), determine the frequency ratio at which the amplitude of the response will be maximum. Also, determine the value of , above which there would be no maximum in the frequency reponse maghnitude plot. 4. Consider the imbalanced rotor assembly shown in Figure 1 with four imbalance masses and four bearing supports as shown. If m1=200g, m2=150g, m3=250g, m4=200g, and the radial distances and distances along the shaft are as marked in the figure (e.g. 10 units distance between first bearing and plane A), determine if it is possible to achieve complete static and dynamic balance by attaching balance masses in planes A and B alone. Determine the values of the masses and radial distances for achieving balancing. If it is not possible to completely balance the assembly by simply using planes A and B, add additional plane(s) as appropriate and calculate balance masses and distances to completely balance the assembly.
