 Introduction
For proper design of machine which are
subjected to low vibratory forces, it is essential to
estimate their natural frequency conditions.
In such cases their is a always a certain amount of
damping associated with the system.
Their is a device called shock absorber which is
generally used in automobiles.
Shock Absorber refers specially to the hydraulic
piston that absorbs and dissipates vibrations.
 Need of the project

To Analyse Transmissibility at various speeds and

load with minimum errors.

To Avoid jump phenomena.

To Avoid unwanted vibrations from old setup.

 Shock Absorber
Shock Absorber – Shock absorber is a
mechanical or hydraulic devise design to
absorb and damp shock impulses.

Damper: Damper is a unit which absorb the energy of vibratory
System there by reducing the amplitude of vibration.
 Theory of vibration
Vibration : Cyclic motion of a body or a system due to a elastic deformation under the
Action of external forces is known as vibration.

 FORCED VIBRATION DUE TO BASE
EXCITATION
Base excitation : The excitation of the system is through the base or the support of
being applied to mass is called forced vibration due to base excitation.
 The analysis of forced vibration due to excitation of support can be done by considering
Absolute amplitude and relative amplitude of mass with respect to base or support.

Steady-state absolute amplitude (X)

=
observation :

1) When When << then ≈1: It means that complete system can move as rigid
body at low frequencies.

2) When >> then ≈0: It means that the mass is stationary at high frequencies.
Z= Steady state amplitude

Z=

Phase angle
 Transmissibility
Transmissibility : It is defined as the amplification and maximum application occurs when
Forcing frequency and natural frequency of the system coincide.

The transmission of the vibration can be specified by

1)Force transmissibility
2) Motion transmissibilty.

Force transmissibilty : it is defined as the ratio of the force transmitted to the supporting
Structure or foundation .

Force transmissibility is given by ,

FTR
 Observation transmissibility vs
frequency ratio curve
When =0, the transmissibility is maximum

When < √2 , the transmissibility is greater than one.

When = √2 , the transmissibility is equal to one

.
When > √2, the transmissibility is less than one.

The value of transmissibility must be kept in

>√2.
 Jump phenomenon
Jump phenomenon :The follower may loose contact with the cam surface due to inertia
forces acting on the follower this phenomenon is known as jump phenomenon.

The jump phenomenon can be understood by response curve .

The jump phenomenon can be avoided by

1) increasing the stiffness of retaining spring

2) Limiting the speed of cam
3) Increasing the preload in the spring

To avoid jump the cam speed Is less than

< <
