ASE 365: Homework 3

Assigned Date: 12 February 2013 Due Date: 19 February 2013, by the beginning of class (Note: Late homeworks will not be graded) 1. The figure shown below simulates a vehicle travelling on a rough road. Let the vehicle velocity be uniform (v = constant). Derive an expression for the response z(t) as well as the force transmitted to the vehicle.

2. A machine can be modeled as a SDOF system with a rotating imbalance. The machine has a total mass M, and is mounted on a support of stiffness k and damping c. The imbalance can be represented by a mass m with an eccentricity e rotating at a frequency . a. Derive an expression for the amplitude of the oscillatory force transmitted to the base. b. If e = , where is the static deflection of the support due to the weight of the machine, show that the force transmitted to the base is equal to the weight of the machine when = 0 and = (k/m). 3. Derive the response of the control tab to the displacement y(t). When does resonance occur ?

4. The rotor of a turbine has the form of a disk on a uniform shaft mounted on bearings, as shown in the figure below. The mass of the disk is 15 kg and its diameter is 0.3 m. The disk has a circular hole of diameter 0.03 m at a distance of 0.12 m from the geometric center. The bending stiffness of the shaft is EI = 1,600 Nm2. Determine the

amplitude of vibration if the turbine rotor spins at an angular velocity of 6,000 rpm. The equivalent stiffness of the rotor shaft (clamped-clamped beam) is 192EI/L3.

5. Solve the forced response of a SDOF mass-spring-damper system for the square wave forcing shown below. Plot the forcing and the response including (a) only first three harmonics (b) first five harmonics (c) first 10 harmonics. What do you conclude from this ?
