CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering MECH 443/4 T: Mechanical Vibrations Assignment 1: Dead line: The hard-copy of the solution must be submitted in class on Jan 21, Show cach step of your solution and present it neatly Question 1: The displacement x of a moving-point satisfies the simple-harmonic-motion equation % = -o? x where w = 500 rad/s (a) Calculate the period in milli-seconds and frequency in Hertz (b) If x(0) =- 0.3 mm and x(0) = - 200 mm/s determine the solution in the form @ — x=acoset+bsinet — (provide the values of a and b) (i) x= Acos (ot) (provide the values of A and @) (©) Provide the rms-values of the amplitude and velocity of motion. Question 2: Expand the periodic variation as Fourier series. Here, x is in mm and t is in milli- seconds, T= 0.01 s. (a) Determine the rms-value of the variable x (b) Determine the rms-value of the mean and the rms-values of each of the first five harmonics. (©) In an approximation of x where the sixth and higher harmo determine the rms-value of the resulting variation. are filtered out,
