APPLICATION EXERCISE: COMPLEX CALCULATION

N.B : This is an extremely detailed application exercise for solving complex equations of
the system reflecting dynamic balancing (2 planes) (MacdaraMacCamhaoil, Brüel &
Kjær, application notes).

One considers that we have a dynamic balancing problem (2 planes) governed by the
following two equations:

( ) (
Q1 V1,1 − V1, 0 + Q2 V1, 2 − V1, 0 = −V1,0 (1) )
Q (V
1 2 ,1 − V2 , 0 ) + Q (V 2 2, 2 )
− V2, 0 = −V2, 0 (2)

The writing of Q1 in function of Q2 in the equation (1) gives:

Q1 =
− V1, 0 − Q2 V1, 2 − V1, 0( )
(V 1,1 − V1, 0 )
The injection of the expression of Q1 in function of Q2 in the equation (2) gives:

(
− V1, 0 − Q2 V1, 2 − V1, 0 ) (V ) (
− V2 , 0 + Q2 V2, 2 − V2, 0 = −V2 , 0 )
(V 1,1 − V1, 0 ) 2 ,1

( ) (
− V1,0 V2 ,1 − V2 ,0 − Q2 V1, 2 − V1,0 V2 ,1 − V2 , 0 )( ) + Q (V )(
− V2, 0 V1,1 − V1, 0 ) = −V
(V − V ) (V )
2 2, 2

− V1, 0
2,0
1,1 1, 0 1,1

( ) ( )(
 −V1, 0 V2,1 − V2, 0 − Q2 V1, 2 − V1, 0 V2,1 − V2, 0 + Q2 V2, 2 − V2, 0 V1,1 − V1, 0 = −V2, 0 V1,1 − V1, 0) ( )( ) ( )
[( )( ) ( )(
 Q2 V2, 2 − V2, 0 V1,1 − V1,0 − V1, 2 − V1,0 V2,1 − V2, 0 = −V2,0 V1,1 − V1,0 + V1, 0 V2,1 − V2, 0 )] ( ) ( )

 Q2 =
(
− V2, 0 V1,1 − V1,0 + V1, 0 V2,1 − V2, 0) ( )
(V 2, 2 )( ) (
− V2, 0 V1,1 − V1, 0 − V2,1 − V2, 0 V1, 2 − V1, 0 )( )
By writing the complex values of the vibrations involved, one obtains:

− (5.92 − 12.13 j )(1.82 + 10.6 j ) + (−3.82 − 6.12 j )(3.04 + 10.06 j )

 Q2 =
(− 1.42 + 1 j )(1.82 + 10.6 j ) − (3.04 + 10.06 j )(4.58 + 10.05 j )

Further simplifications permit to obtain:

(−139.35 − 40.68 j ) + (49.96 − 57.03 j )

 Q2 =
(− 13.18 − 13.23 j ) + (87.18 − 76.63 j )

(−89.39 − 97.71 j )
 Q2 =
(74 − 89.86 j )

One multiplies the denominator by its conjugate product, we get:

(−89.39 − 97.71 j )(74 + 89.86 j )

 Q2 =
(74 − 89.86 j )(74 + 89.86 j )

 Q2 = 0.16 − 1.13 j

In order to obtain the complex value of Q1 , one injects the complex value of Q2 in the
expression:

Q1 =
(
− V1,0 − Q2 V1, 2 − V1,0 )
(V1,1 − V1, 0 )
And one applies the same calculation tools as those detailed previously.

One obtains:

 Q1 = 0.75 + 0.9 j
