DYNAMICS OF MACHINES
III MECH A CLASS TEST (23/08/2019)
PART A (5*2=10 MARKS)
1. Differentiate between transverse and torsional
vibration?
2. Define torsional equivalent shaft?
3. Define critical or whirling or whipping speed of a
shaft?
4. Explain the Dunkerley’s method used in natural
transverse vibration?
5. What is meant by free vibration and forced
vibrations?
PART B (2*10=20 MARKS)
6. The mass of a machine is 100 kg. Its vibrations are
damped by a viscous dash pot which diminishes
amplitude of vibrations from 40 mm to 10 mm in
three complete oscillations. If the machine is
mounted on four springs each of stiffness 25 kN/m,
find (a) the resistance of the dash pot at unit
velocity, and (b) the periodic time of the damped
vibration (10)
7. A shaft 12.5 mm diameter rotates in long bearings
and a disc of mass 16 kg is secured to a shaft at the
middle of its length. The span of the shaft between
the bearings is 0.5 m. The mass centre of the disc is
0.5 mm from the axis of the shaft. Neglecting the
mass of the shaft and taking E = 200 GN/m2, find :
1 critical speed of rotation in r.p.m., and 2. the
range of speed over which the stress in the shaft
due to bending will not exceed 120 MN/m2. Take
the static deflection of the shaft for a beam fixed at
both ends (10)
