FIRST SEMESTER 2016-2017


DE G611 DYNAMICS AND VIBRATION
Mid-Semester Examination (Regular) (Closed Book)
Date: 06.10.2016 Maximum Marks: 25 (Weightage 25%) Time: 90 min.

Q1. Describe how logarithmic decrement and coulomb damping methods can be used to find damping co-
efficient and co-efficient of friction respectively, by deriving proper equations. [2]

Q2. Derive the forced response function for a SDOF mass spring damper system(having Mass M, stiffness
K, damping co-efficient C) under rotating unbalance force(meω2). Where, m is unbalance mass, e is
eccentricity and ω is operating speed. Draw the graph between amplitude and frequency ration for different
damping ratio. [2]

Q3. A 500-kg tumbler has an unbalance of 1.26 kg, 50 cm from its axis of rotation. For what stiffness
values of an elastic mounting of damping ratio 0.06 will the tumbler 's steady-state amplitude be less than 2
mm at all speeds between 200 rpm and 600 rpm? [4]

Q4. Derive the equations of motion of the system shown in Fig:Q4 using Lagrange’s equation. The circular
cylinder has a mass m and radius r, and rolls without slipping inside the circular groove of radius R. [3]

Q5. Using matrix iteration method, determine the fundamental frequency and corresponding mode shape of
the system shown in Fig.Q5. Also find approximate fundamental frequency by using Rayleigh's method for
the system shown in Fig. Q5 [5+2]

Q6. Use the Holzer method to determine the natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes for torsional
vibration of the system as shown in Fig.Q6. [7]

The data for the torsional system is as follows:


J1 = 1000 kg-m2, J2 = 1500 kg-m2 , J3 = 2000 kg-m2, K1 = 4×105 Nm/rad, K2 =6×105 Nm/rad,
K3 = 8×105 Nm/rad.
