Notes Compiled by: VIJAYAVITHAL BONGALE ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING MALNAD COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING HASSAN -573 202. KARNATAKA Mobile:9448821954 E-mail:vvb@mcehassan.ac.in

INTRODUCTION: When man invented the wheel, he very quickly learnt that if it wasnt completely round and if it didnt rotate evenly about its central axis, then he had a problem! What the problem he had? The wheel would vibrate causing damage to itself and its support mechanism and in severe cases, is unusable. A method had to be found to minimize the problem. The mass had to be evenly distributed about the rotating centerline so that the resultant vibration was at a minimum. UNBALANCE: The condition which exists in a rotor when vibratory force or motion is imparted to its bearings as a result of centrifugal forces is called unbalance or the uneven distribution of mass about a rotors rotating centerline.

Rotating centerline: The rotating centerline being defined as the axis about which the rotor would rotate if not constrained by its bearings. (Also called the Principle Inertia Axis or PIA). Geometric centerline: The geometric centerline being the physical centerline of the rotor. When the two centerlines are coincident, then the rotor will be in a state of balance. When they are apart, the rotor will be unbalanced. Different types of unbalance can be defined by the relationship between the two centerlines. These include: Static Unbalance where the PIA is displaced parallel to the geometric centerline. (Shown above) Couple Unbalance where the PIA intersects the geometric centerline at the center of gravity. (CG) Dynamic Unbalance where the PIA and the geometric centerline do not coincide or touch. The most common of these is dynamic unbalance. Causes of Unbalance: In the design of rotating parts of a machine every care is taken to eliminate any out of balance or couple, but there will be always some residual unbalance left in the finished part because of 1. slight variation in the density of the material or 2. inaccuracies in the casting or 3. inaccuracies in machining of the parts. Why balancing is so important? 1. A level of unbalance that is acceptable at a low speed is completely unacceptable at a higher speed. 2. As machines get bigger and go faster, the effect of the unbalance is much more severe. 3. The force caused by unbalance increases by the square of the speed. 4. If the speed is doubled, the force quadruples; if the speed is tripled the force increases

by a factor of nine! Identifying and correcting the mass distribution and thus minimizing the force and resultant vibration is very very important BALANCING: Balancing is the technique of correcting or eliminating unwanted inertia forces or moments in rotating or reciprocating masses and is achieved by changing the location of the mass centers. The objectives of balancing an engine are to ensure: 1. That the centre of gravity of the system remains stationery during a complete revolution of the crank shaft and 2. That the couples involved in acceleration of the different moving parts balance each other. Types of balancing: a) Static Balancing: i) Static balancing is a balance of forces due to action of gravity. ii) A body is said to be in static balance when its centre of gravity is in the axis of rotation. b) Dynamic balancing: i) Dynamic balance is a balance due to the action of inertia forces. ii) A body is said to be in dynamic balance when the resultant moments or couples, which involved in the acceleration of different moving parts is equal to zero. iii) The conditions of dynamic balance are met, the conditions of static balance are also met. In rotor or reciprocating machines many a times unbalance of forces is produced due to inertia forces associated with the moving masses. If these parts are not properly balanced, the dynamic forces are set up and forces not only increase loads on bearings and stresses in the various components, but also unpleasant and dangerous vibrations. Balancing is a process of designing or modifying machinery so that the unbalance is reduced to an acceptable level and if possible eliminated entirely. BALANCING OF ROTATING MASSES When a mass moves along a circular path, it experiences a centripetal acceleration and a force is required to produce it. An equal and opposite force called centrifugal force acts radially outwards and is a disturbing force on the axis of rotation. The magnitude of this remains constant but the direction changes with the rotation of the mass.

In a revolving rotor, the centrifugal force remains balanced as long as the centre of the mass of rotor lies on the axis of rotation of the shaft. When this does not happen, there is an eccentricity and an unbalance force is produced. This type of unbalance is common in steam turbine rotors, engine crankshafts, rotors of compressors, centrifugal pumps etc.

The unbalance forces exerted on machine members are time varying, impart vibratory motion and noise, there are human discomfort, performance of the machine deteriorate and detrimental effect on the structural integrity of the machine foundation. Balancing involves redistributing the mass which may be carried out by addition or removal of mass from various machine members Balancing of rotating masses can be of 1. Balancing of a single rotating mass by a single mass rotating in the same plane. 2. Balancing of a single rotating mass by two masses rotating in different planes. 3. Balancing of several masses rotating in the same plane 4. Balancing of several masses rotating in different planes STATIC BALANCING: A system of rotating masses is said to be in static balance if the combined mass centre of the system lies on the axis of rotation DYNAMIC BALANCING; When several masses rotate in different planes, the centrifugal forces, in addition to being out of balance, also form couples. A system of rotating masses is in dynamic balance when there does not exist any resultant centrifugal force as well as resultant couple.

CASE 1.

BALANCING OF A SINGLE ROTATING MASS BY A SINGLE MASS ROTATING IN THE SAME PLANE

Consider a disturbing mass m1 which is attached to a shaft rotating at rad/s. Let


r1 = radius of rotation of the mass m1 = distance between the axis of rotation of the shaft and the centre of gravity of the mass m1

The centrifugal force exerted by mass m1 on the shaft is given by,

Fc1 = m1 2 r1 (1)
This force acts radially outwards and produces bending moment on the shaft. In order to counteract the effect of this force Fc1 , a balancing mass m2 may be attached in the same plane of rotation of the disturbing mass m1 such that the centrifugal forces due to the two masses are equal and opposite.

VTU EDUSAT PROGRAMME - 17

Let,
r2 = radius of rotation of the mass m2 = distance between the axis of rotation of the shaft and the centre of gravity of the mass m2

Therefore the centrifugal force due to mass m2 will be,

Fc2 = m2 2 r2 (2)
Equating equations (1) and (2), we get

Fc1 =Fc2 m1 2 r1 = m2 2 r2 or m1 r1 = m2 r2 (3)

The product m 2 r2 can be split up in any convenient way. As for as possible the radius of rotation of mass m2 that is r2 is generally made large in order to reduce the balancing mass m2. CASE 2: BALANCING OF A SINGLE ROTATING MASS BY TWO MASSES ROTATING IN DIFFERENT PLANES. There are two possibilities while attaching two balancing masses: 1. The plane of the disturbing mass may be in between the planes of the two balancing masses. 2. The plane of the disturbing mass may be on the left or right side of two planes containing the balancing masses. In order to balance a single rotating mass by two masses rotating in different planes which are parallel to the plane of rotation of the disturbing mass i) the net dynamic force acting on the shaft must be equal to zero, i.e. the centre of the masses of the system must lie on the axis of rotation and this is the condition for static balancing ii) the net couple due to the dynamic forces acting on the shaft must be equal to zero, i.e. the algebraic sum of the moments about any point in the plane must be zero. The conditions i) and ii) together give dynamic balancing.

CASE 2(I): THE PLANE OF THE DISTURBING MASS LIES IN BETWEEN THE PLANES OF THE TWO BALANCING MASSES.

Consider the disturbing mass m lying in a plane A which is to be balanced by two rotating masses m1 and m2 lying in two different planes M and N which are parallel to the plane A as shown. Let r, r1 and r2 be the radii of rotation of the masses in planes A, M and N respectively. Let L1, L2 and L be the distance between A and M, A and N, and M and N respectively. Now, The centrifugal force exerted by the mass m in plane A will be,

Fc = m 2 r (1)
Similarly, The centrifugal force exerted by the mass m1 in plane M will be,

Fc1 = m1 2 r1 (2)

DYNAMICS OF MACHINES

VIJAYAVITHAL BONGALE

VTU EDUSAT PROGRAMME - 17


And the centrifugal force exerted by the mass m2 in plane N will be,

Fc2 = m2 2 r2 (3)
For the condition of static balancing,

Fc = Fc1 + Fc2 or m 2 r = m1 2 r1 + m2 2 r2 i.e. m r = m1 r1 + m2 r2 (4)


Now, to determine the magnitude of balancing force in the plane M or the dynamic force at the bearing O of a shaft, take moments about P which is the point of intersection of the plane N and the axis of rotation. Therefore,

Fc1 x L = Fc x L 2 or m1 2 r1 x L = m 2 r x L 2 Therefore , m1 r1 L = mr L 2 or m1 r1 = mr L2 (5) L

Similarly, in order to find the balancing force in plane N or the dynamic force at the bearing P of a shaft, take moments about O which is the point of intersection of the plane M and the axis of rotation. Therefore,

Fc2 x L = Fc x L 1 or m2 2 r2 x L = m 2 r x L 1 Therefore , m2 r2 L = mr L 1 or m2 r2 = mr L1 (6) L

For dynamic balancing equations (5) or (6) must be satisfied along with equation (4).

CASE 2(II): WHEN THE PLANE OF THE DISTURBING MASS LIES ON ONE END OF THE TWO PLANES CONTAINING THE BALANCING MASSES.

For static balancing,

Fc1 = Fc + Fc2 or m1 2 r1 = m 2 r + m2 2 r2 i.e. m1 r1 = m r + m2 r2 (1)


For dynamic balance the net dynamic force acting on the shaft and the net couple due to dynamic forces acting on the shaft is equal to zero. To find the balancing force in the plane M or the dynamic force at the bearing O of a shaft, take moments about P. i.e.

DYNAMICS OF MACHINES

VIJAYAVITHAL BONGALE

VTU EDUSAT PROGRAMME - 17


Fc1 x L = Fc x L 2 or m1 2 r1 x L = m2 r x L 2 Therefore , m1 r1 L = mr L 2 or m1 r1 = mr L2 (2) L

Similarly, to find the balancing force in the plane N , take moments about O, i.e.,

Fc2 x L = Fc x L 1 or m2 2 r2 x L = m 2 r x L 1 Therefore , m2 r2 L = mr L 1 or m2 r2 = mr L1 (3) L

CASE 3: BALANCING OF SEVERAL MASSES ROTATING IN THE SAME PLANE

Consider a rigid rotor revolving with a constant angular velocity rad/s. A number of masses say, four are depicted by point masses at different radii in the same transverse plane.

DYNAMICS OF MACHINES

VIJAYAVITHAL BONGALE

VTU EDUSAT PROGRAMME - 17


If m1, m2, m3 and m4 are the masses revolving at radii r1, r2, r3 and r4 respectively in the same plane. The centrifugal forces exerted by each of the masses are Fc1, Fc2, Fc3 and Fc4 respectively. Let F be the vector sum of these forces. i.e.

F = Fc1 + Fc2 + Fc3 + Fc4 = m1 2 r1 + m2 2 r2 + m3 2 r3 + m4 2 r4 (1)


The rotor is said to be statically balanced if the vector sum F is zero. If the vector sum F is not zero, i.e. the rotor is unbalanced, then introduce a counterweight ( balance weight) of mass m at radius r to balance the rotor so that,

m1 2 r1 + m2 2 r2 + m3 2 r3 + m4 2 r4 + m 2 r = 0 (2) or m1 r1 + m2 r2 + m3 r3 + m4 r4 + m r = 0 (3)
The magnitude of either m or r may be selected and the other can be calculated. In general, if m i ri is the vector sum of m 1 r1 , m 2 r2 , m 3 r3 , m 4 r4 etc, then,

m r + mr = 0 (4)
i i

The above equation can be solved either analytically or graphically. 1. Analytical Method: Procedure: Step 1: Find out the centrifugal force or the product of mass and its radius of rotation 2 exerted by each of masses on the rotating shaft, since is same for each mass, therefore the magnitude of the centrifugal force for each mass is proportional to the product of the respective mass and its radius of rotation. Step 2: Resolve these forces into their horizontal and vertical components and find their sums. i.e.,
Sum of the horizontal components = miri cos i = m1r1 cos 1 + m2 r2 cos 2 + m3r3 cos 3 +
i =1 n

Sumof the vertical components = miri sin i = m1r1 sin 1 + m2r2 sin 2 + m3r3 sin 3 +
i=1 n

Step 3: Determine the magnitude of the resultant centrifugal force

Step 4: If is the angle, which resultant force makes with the horizontal, then

Step 5: The balancing force is then equal to the resultant force, but in opposite direction. Step 6: Now find out the magnitude of the balancing mass, such that

R = mr
Where, m = balancing mass and r = its radius of rotation 2. Graphical Method: Step 1: Draw the space diagram with the positions of the several masses, as shown. Step 2: Find out the centrifugal forces or product of the mass and radius of rotation exerted by each mass. Step 3: Now draw the vector diagram with the obtained centrifugal forces or product of the masses and radii of rotation. To draw vector diagram take a suitable scale. Let ab, bc, cd, de represents the forces Fc1, Fc2, Fc3 and Fc4 on the vector diagram. Draw ab parallel to force Fc1 of the space diagram, at b draw a line parallel to force Fc2. Similarly draw lines cd, de parallel to Fc3 and Fc4 respectively. Step 4: As per polygon law of forces, the closing side ae represents the resultant force in magnitude and direction as shown in vector diagram.

Step 5: The balancing force is then , equal and opposite to the resultant force. Step 6:

Determine the magnitude of the balancing mass ( m ) at a given radius of rotation ( r ), such that,

Fc = m2 r or mr = resultant of m1 r1 ,m2 r2 , m3 r3 andm4 r4

CASE 4: BALANCING OF SEVERAL MASSES ROTATING IN DIFFERENT PLANES When several masses revolve in different planes, they may be transferred to a reference plane and this reference plane is a plane passing through a point on the axis of rotation and perpendicular to it.

When a revolving mass in one plane is transferred to a reference plane, its effect is to cause a force of same magnitude to the centrifugal force of the revolving mass to act in the reference plane along with a couple of magnitude equal to the product of the force and the distance between the two planes. In order to have a complete balance of the several revolving masses in different planes, 1. the forces in the reference plane must balance, i.e., the resultant force must be zero and 2. the couples about the reference plane must balance i.e., the resultant couple must be zero. A mass placed in the reference plane may satisfy the first condition but the couple balance is satisfied only by two forces of equal magnitude in different planes. Thus, in general, two planes are needed to balance a system of rotating masses.

Example: Consider four masses m1, m2, m3 and m4 attached to the rotor at radii r1, r2, r3 and r4 respectively. The masses m1, m2, m3 and m4 rotate in planes 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively.

a) Position of planes of masses Choose a reference plane at O so that the distance of the planes 1, 2, 3 and 4 from O are L1, L2 , L3 and L4 respectively. The reference plane chosen is plane L. Choose another plane M between plane 3 and 4 as shown. Plane M is at a distance of Lm from the reference plane L. The distances of all the other planes to the left of L may be taken as negative( -ve) and to the right may be taken as positive (+ve). The magnitude of the balancing masses mL and mM in planes L and M may be obtained by following the steps given below.

Step 1: Tabulate the given data as shown after drawing the sketches of position of planes of masses and angular position of masses. The planes are tabulated in the same order in which they occur from left to right.

Step 2: Construct the couple polygon first. (The couple polygon can be drawn by taking a convenient scale) Add the known vectors and considering each vector parallel to the radial line of the mass draw the couple diagram. Then the closing vector will be mM rM LM.

The vector d o on the couple polygon represents the balanced couple. Since the balanced couple CM is proportional to mM rM LM , therefore,

CM = mM rM L M = vector d' o' or vector d' o' mM = rM L M

From this the value of mM in the plane M can be determined and the angle of inclination of this mass may be measured from figure (b). Step 3: Now draw the force polygon (The force polygon can be drawn by taking a convenient scale) by adding the known vectors along with mM rM. The closing vector will be mL rL. This represents the balanced force. Since the balanced force is proportional to mL rL , mL rL = vector eo

or

mL =

vector eo rL

From this the balancing mass mL can be obtained in plane L and the angle of inclination of this mass with the horizontal may be measured from figure (b).

Problems and solutions


Problem 1. Four masses A, B, C and D are attached to a shaft and revolve in the same plane. The masses are 12 kg, 10 kg, 18 kg and 15 kg respectively and their radii of rotations are 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm and 30 mm. The angular position of the masses B, C and D are 600 , 1350 and 2700 from mass A. Find the magnitude and position of the balancing mass at a radius of 100 mm. Solution: Given: Mass(m) kg mA = 12 kg (reference mass) mB = 10 kg mC = 18 kg mD = 15 kg Radius(r) m rA = 0.04 m rB = 0.05 m rC = 0.06 m rD = 0.03 m Centrifugal force/2 (m r) kg-m mArA = 0.48 kg-m mBrB = 0.50 kg-m mCrC = 1.08 kg-m mDrD = 0.45 kg-m

Analytical Method: Step 1: Draw the space diagram or angular position of the masses. Since all the angular position of the masses are given with respect to mass A, take the angular position of mass A 0 as A = 0 .

Tabulate the given data as shown. Since the magnitude of the centrifugal forces are proportional to the product of the mass and its radius, the product mr can be calculated and tabulated. Step 2: Resolve the centrifugal forces horizontally and vertically and find their sum. Resolving mArA, mBrB, mCrC and mDrD horizontally and taking their sum gives,

Resolving mArA, mBrB, mCrC and mDrD vertically and taking their sum gives,

m r sin = m r sin
i i i A A i=1

= 0.48 x sin 00 + 0.50 x sin 600 + 1.08 x sin1350 + 0.45 x sin2700 = 0 + 0.433 + 0.764 + (0.45) = 0.747 kg m (2)

Step 3: Determine the magnitude of the resultant centrifugal force


n n R = miri cos i + miri sin i i=1 i=1 2 2

( 0.034 )

+ (0.747 ) = 0.748 kg m

Step 4: The balancing force is then equal to the resultant force, but in opposite direction. Now find out the magnitude of the balancing mass, such that

R = mr = 0.748kg m Therefore, m = R 0.748 = = 7.48 kg Ans r 0.1

Where, m = balancing mass and r = its radius of rotation Step 5: Determine the position of the balancing mass m. If is the angle, which resultant force makes with the horizontal, then

Remember ALL STUDENTS TAKE COPY i.e. in first quadrant all angles ( sin , cos and tan ) are positive, in second quadrant only sin is positive, in third quadrant only tan is positive and in fourth quadrant only cos is positive. Since numerator is positive and denominator is negative, the resultant force makes with the horizontal, an angle (measured in the counter clockwise direction)

= 92.6 0

The balancing force is then equal to the resultant force, but in opposite direction. The balancing mass m lies opposite to the radial direction of the resultant force and the 0 angle of inclination with the horizontal is, M = 87.4 angle measured in the clockwise direction.

Graphical Method: Step 1: Tabulate the given data as shown. Since the magnitude of the centrifugal forces are proportional to the product of the mass and its radius, the product mr can be calculated and tabulated. Draw the space diagram or angular position of the masses taking the actual angles( Since all angular position of the masses are given with respect to mass A, take the angular 0 position of mass A as A = 0 ).

Step 2: Now draw the force polygon (The force polygon can be drawn by taking a convenient scale) by adding the known vectors as follows. Draw a line ab parallel to force FCA (or the product mArA to a proper scale) of the space diagram. At b draw a line bc parallel to FCB (or the product mBrB).

The corresponding radii of rotations are 22.5 cm, 17.5 cm, 25 cm and 30 cm and the angles measured from A are 450, 1200 and 2550. Find the position and magnitude of the balancing mass, if the radius of rotation is 60 cm.

Step 1: Draw the space diagram or angular position of the masses. Since all the angular position of the masses are given with respect to mass A, take the angular position of mass A 0 as A = 0 . Tabulate the given data as shown. Since the magnitude of the centrifugal forces are proportional to the product of the mass and its radius, the product mr can be calculated and tabulated.

Step 2: Resolve the centrifugal forces horizontally and vertically and find their sum. Resolving mArA, mBrB, mCrC and mDrD horizontally and taking their sum gives,

m r cos = m r cos + m r cos + m r cos + m r cos

Resolving mArA, mBrB, mCrC and mDrD vertically and taking their sum gives,

m r sin = m r sin + m r sin + m r sin + m r sin


i i i A A A B B B C C C D D i =1

= 22.5 x sin 0 0 + 26.25 x sin 45 0 + 30 x sin 120 0 + 39 x sin 255 0 = 0 + 18.56 + 25.98 + ( 37.67) = 6.87 kg m (2)

Step 3: Determine the magnitude of the resultant centrifugal force


n n R = m i ri cos i + m i ri sin i i =1 i =1 2 2

(15.97)

Step 4: The balancing force is then equal to the resultant force, but in opposite direction. Now find out the magnitude of the balancing mass, such that

R = m r = 17.39 kg m R 17.39 Therefore, m = = = 28.98 kg Ans r 0.60


Where, m = balancing mass and r = its radius of rotation Step 5: Determine the position of the balancing mass m. If is the angle, which resultant force makes with the horizontal, then
