MEC 521: Vibration

1. A 10 kg body is suspended from a spring of constant k = 2.5 kN/m. At


time t = 0, it has a downward velocity of 0.5 m/s as it passes through the
position of static equilibrium. Determine
(a) the static spring deflection st
(b) the natural frequency of the system in both rad/sec ( n) and
cycles/sec (n)
(c) the system period
(d) the displacement x as a function of time, where x is measured
from the position of static equilibrium
(e) the maximum velocity vmax attained by the mass
() the maximum acceleration amax attained by the mass

k = 2.5 kN/m

m = 10kg

2. The seismic instrument is mounted on a structure which has a vertical


vibration with a frequency of 5 Hz and a double amplitude of 18 mm. The
sensing element has a mass m = 2 kg and the spring stiffness is k = 1.5
kN/m. The motion of the mass relative to the instrument base is recorded
on a revolving drum and shows a double amplitude of 24 mm during the
steady-state condition. Calculate the viscous damping constant c.

3. The small sphere of mass m is mounted on the light rod pivoted at O and
supported at end A by the vertical spring of stiffness k. End A is
displaced a small distance y0 below the horizontal equilibrium position and
released. By the energy method, derive the differential equation of
motion for small oscillations of the rod and determine the expression for
its natural frequency n of vibration. Damping is negligible.

4. Determine the natural frequency n of vertical vibration of the 3-kg collar


to which are attached the two uniform 1.2-kg links, which may be treated
as slender bars. The stiffness of the spring, which is attached to both
the collar and the foundation, is k = 1.5 kN/m, and the bars are both
horizontal in the equilibrium position. A small roller on end B of each link
permits end A to move with the collar. Frictional retardation is negligible.

5. The 8-kg body is moved 0.2 m to the right of the equilibrium position and
released from rest at time t = 0. Determine its displacement at time t = 2
s. The viscous damping coefficient c is 20 and the spring stiffness k is 32
N/m.
