PART B& C (13/15 MARK)
1 A single cylinder vertical petrol engine of total mass of 300Kg is mounted Apply 2.4.1
upon a steel chassis frame and causes a vertical static deflection of 2mm. The
reciprocating parts of the engine has a mass of 20kg and move through a
vertical stroke of 150mm with SHM. A dashpot is provided whose damping
resistance is directly proportional to the velocity and amounts to 1.5 kN/m/s,
calculate at steady state
a) The amplitude of forced vibrations at 480 rpm engine speed, and
b) The speed of the driving shaft at which resonance will occur.
2 A mass of 10 kg is suspended from one end of helical spring, the other end is Apply 2.4.1
being fixed. The stiffness of the spring is 10 N/mm. The viscous damping
causes the amplitude to decrease to one-tenth of the initial value in four
complete oscillations. If a periodic force of 150 Cos 50t (N) is applied at the
mass in the vertical direction, find the amplitude of the forced vibrations.
What is its value of resonance?
3 A machine part of mass 2 kg vibrates in a viscous medium. Determine the Apply 3.1.4
damping coefficient when a harmonic exciting force of 25 N results in
resonant amplitude of 12.5 mm with a period of 0.2 second. If the system is
excited by a harmonic force of frequency 4 Hz, what will be the percentage
increase in the amplitude of vibration when damper is removed as compared
with that with damping.
4 A machine has a total mass of 90Kg and unbalanced reciprocating parts of Apply 2.4.1
mass 2Kg which moves through a vertical stroke of 100mm with SHM. The
machine is mounted on four springs. The machine is having only one degree
of freedom and can undergo vertical displacement only. Calculate (i). The
 combined stiffness is the force transmitted to the foundation is one thirteenth
of the applied force. Neglect damping and take the speed of rotation of the
machine crank shaft as 1000 r.p.m. when the machine is actually supported on
the springs, it is found that the damping reduces the amplitude of the
successive free vibrations by 30%. Find (ii). The force transmitted to the
foundation at 900 r.p.m.
5 The mass of an electric motor is 120 kg and it runs at 1500 r.p.m. The Apply 3.1.4
armature mass is 35 kg and its C.G lies 0.5 mm from the axis of rotation. The
motor is mounted on five springs of negligible damping so that the force
transmitted is one-eleventh of the impressed force. Assume that the mass of
the motor is equally distributed among the five springs. (i) stiffness of each
spring; (ii) dynamic force transmitted to the base at the operating speed; and
(iii) natural frequency of the system.
6 Derive the equation of vibration isolation factor or transmissibility ratio and Apply 3.1.4
discuss the variation of transmissibility ratio along with a graph.
