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.
