08P056 MECHANICAL VIBRATIONS
TUTORIAL II Two Degrees of Freedom Systems
1. Find the natural frequencies and mode shapes for the torsional system shown in Fig. 1
for kt2 = 2kt1 and J2 = 2J1. (Take kt1=100 Nm/rad; J1= 500 kg.m2)

Fig. 1
2. Derive the equations of motion for each of the systems shown in Fig.2 to 5. Also determine
their natural frequencies and mode shapes.

(Assume m1 = m2=m; & l1 = l2=l)

3. Derive the equations of motion for the systems shown in Fig. 6 to 8 by using Lagranges
Equations. Also find the natural frequencies of each system.
