Problem 4.25 (Palm III)
The figure shown models the three shafts as massless torsional
k3T
springs. When 𝜃1 = 𝜃2 = 0, the springs are at their free I2
lengths. Derive the equations of motion with the torque 𝑇2 as
k2T
the input. I1 T2
• The restoring torque by spring 𝑘1 is against 𝜃1 . k1T θ2
• The restoring torque by spring 𝑘3 is against 𝜃2 .
• Assuming 𝜃1 < 𝜃2 , the restoring torque by spring 𝑘2 θ1
– on rigid body 𝐼1 favors 𝜃1 .
– on rigid body 𝐼2 is against 𝜃2 .
• Accordingly, the moment equations are:
𝐼1 𝜃̈1 = −𝑘1𝑇 𝜃1 + 𝑘2𝑇 (𝜃2 − 𝜃1 )
𝐼2 𝜃̈2 = 𝑇2 − 𝑘3𝑇 𝜃2 − 𝑘2𝑇 (𝜃2 − 𝜃1 )

Example 4.3.1 (Palm III) W
The figure shows a representation of a spring system to isolate the foundation h Platform

The given values are 𝑘1 = 104 N∕m, 𝑘2 = 1.5 × 104 N∕m, 𝑑 = 0.1 m, and
ℎ = 0.5 m. Consider two cases: (a) 𝑊 = 64 N and (b) 𝑊 = 256 N.
Since the weight must come to rest when the spring compression is maximum,
