Report 1 - Review Question

(Selected from https://smartway2study.blogspot.com/2016/08/exercises-longitudinal-and-transverse.html)

1. What are the causes and effects of vibrations?

2. Define the terms Time period, Cycle and Frequency in Vibrations?

3. Define, in short, free vibrations, damped vibrations and forced


vibrations?

4. Discuss briefly with neat sketches the Longitudinal, Transverse and


Torsional free vibrations.

5. Derive an expression for the natural frequency of free transverse


and longitudinal vibrations by equilibrium method?

6. Discuss the effect of inertia of the shaft in longitudinal and


transverse vibrations.

7. Deduce an expression for the natural frequency of free transverse


vibrations for a simply supported shaft carrying uniformly distributed
mass of 'm' kg per unit length.

8. Deduce an expression for the natural frequency of free transverse


vibrations for a beam fixed at both ends and carrying a uniformly
distributed mass of 'm' kg per unit length.

9. Derive the differential equation characterizing the motion of an


oscillation system subject to viscous damping and no periodic
external force. Assuming the solution to the equation, find the
frequency of oscillation of the system.

10. Explain the terms 'under damping, critical damping' and 'over
damping'

11. Establish an expression for the amplitude of forced vibrations.
