The document discusses gyroscopic effects on naval ships and vehicles. It contains multiple examples calculating gyroscopic couples and effects on ships pitching, steering, and four-wheeled vehicles turning. The examples calculate values like maximum gyroscopic couple, angular acceleration during pitching, and limiting vehicle speed around a curve to maintain wheel contact.

NAVAL SHIP
1. The heavy turbine rotor of a sea vessel rotates at 1500 r.p.m. clockwise looking from the stern, its mass being 750 kg. The vessel pitches with an angular velocity of 1 rad/s. Determine the gyroscopic couple transmitted to the hull when bow is rising, if the radius of gyration for the rotor is 250 mm. Also show in what direction the couple acts on the hull? 2. The turbine rotor of a ship has a mass of 3500 kg. It has a radius of gyrationof 0.45 m and a speed of 3000 r.p.m. clockwise when looking from stern. Determine the gyroscopic couple and its effect upon the ship:1. when the ship is steering to the left on a curve of 100 m radius at a speed of 36 km/h. 2. when the ship is pitching in a simple harmonic motion, the bow falling with its maximum velocity. The period of pitching is 40 seconds and the total angular displacement between the two extreme positions of pitching is 12 degrees. 3. The mass of the turbine rotor of a ship is 20 tonnes and has a radius of gyration of 0.60 m. Its speed is 2000 r.p.m. The ship pitches 6° above and 6° below the horizontal position. A complete oscillation takes 30 seconds and the motion is simple harmonic. Determine the following: 1. Maximum gyroscopic couple, 2. Maximum angular acceleration of the ship during pitch-ing, and 3. The direction in which the bow will tend to turn when rising, if the rotation of the rotor is clockwise when looking from the left.
4. Example 14.9. The turbine rotor of a ship has a mass of 2000 kg and rotates at a speed of 3000 r.p.m. clockwise when looking from a stern. The radius of gyration of the rotor is 0.5 m. Determine the gyroscopic couple and its effects upon the ship when the ship is steering to the right in a curve of 100 m radius at a speed of 16.1 knots (1 knot = 1855 m/hr). Calculate also the torque and its effects when the ship is pitching in simple harmonic motion,the bow falling with its maximum velocity. The period of pitching is 50 seconds and the total angular displacement between the two extreme positions of pitching is 12°. Find the maximum acceleration during pitching motion.
Stability of a Four Wheel Drive Moving in a Curved Path
1. A four-wheeled trolley car of mass2500 kg runs on rails, which are 1.5 m apart and travels around a curve of 30 m radius at 24 km / hr. The rails are at the same level. Each wheel of the trolley is 0.75 m in diameter and each of the two axles is driven by a motor running in a direction opposite to that of the wheels at a speed of five times the speed of rotation of the wheels. The moment of inertia of each axle with gear and wheels is 18 kg-m .Each motor with shaft and gear pinion has a moment of inertia of 12 kg-m 2. The centre of gravity of the car is 0.9 m above therail level. Determine the vertical force exerted by each wheel on the rails taking into consideration the centrifugal and gyroscopic effects. State the centrifugal and gyroscopic effects on the trolley.
2. A rear engine automobile is travelling along a track of 100 metres mean radius. Each of the four road wheels has a moment of inertia of 2.5 kg-m2. and an effective diameter of 0.6 m. The rotating parts of the engine have a moment of inertia of 1.2 kg-m 2. The engine axis is parallel to the rear axle and the crankshaft rotates in the same sense as the road wheels. The ratio of engine speed to back axle speed is 3 : 1. The automobile has a mass of 1600 kg and has its centre of gravity 0.5 m above road level. The width of the track of the vehicle is 1.5 m. Determine the limiting speed of the vehicle around the curve for all four wheels to maintain contact with the road surface. Assume that the road surface is not cambered and centre of gravity of the automobile lies centrally with respect to the four wheels.
