Tutorial Sheet 4: Total Mark - 45
Sub: Aerospace Structural Dynamics (AE31002)
Prob.1 The rotor of a turbine 13.6 kg in mass is supported at the midspan of a shaft with
bearings 0.4064 m apart, as shown in Fig. T4-1. The rotor is known to have an unbalance
of 0.2879 [Link]. Determine the forces exerted on the bearings at a speed of 6000 rpm if
the diameter of the steel shaft is 2.54 cm. Compare this result with that of the same rotor
mounted on a steel shaft of diameter l.905 cm. (Assurne the shaft to be simply supported
at the bearings). [Ans. (a) 885.5 N (b) 1576 N] [10]

Prob.2 For turbines operating above the critical speed, stops are provided to limit the
amplitude as they run through the critical speed. In the turbine of Prob.1, if the clearance
between the 2.54-cm shaft and the stops is 0.0508 cm, and if the eccentricity is 0.0212
cm, determine the time required for the shaft to hit the stops. Assume that the critical
speed is reached with zero amplitude. [Ans. t= 0.159s] (5)

Prob.3 Figure T4-2 represents a simplified diagram of a spring-supported vehicle


traveling over a rough road. Determine the equation for the amplitude of W as a function
of the speed, and determine the most unfavorable speed.

[Ans. W (ω ) = Y0(ω / ωn ) / 1 − (ω / ωn ) ]

Prob.4 The springs of an automobile trailer are compressed 10.16 cm under its weight.
Find the critical speed when the trailer is traveling over a road with a profile approximated
by a sine wave of amplitude 7.62 cm and wavelength of 14.63 m. What will be the
amplitude of vibration at 64.4 km/h? (Neglect damping.)
[Ans. Critical speed = 51.6 Km/h, Amplitude= 12.7 cm] (5)

Prob.5 An aircraft radio weighing 106.75 N is to be isolated from engine vibrations ranging
in frequencies from 1600 to 2200 cpm. What statical deflection must the isolators have
for 85% isolation? [Ans. 0.3175cm ] (5)
Prob.6 A refrigerator unit weighing 65 Ib is to be supported by three springs of stiffness
k Ib/in each. If the unit operates at 580 rpm, what should be the value of the spring
constant k if only 10% of the shaking force of the unit is to be transmitted to the supporting
structure? [Ans. 5.8 lb/in] (5)

Prob.7 An industrial machine of mass 453.4 kg is supported on springs with a static


deflection of 0.508 cm. If the machine has a rotating unbalance of 0.2303 kg-m, determine
(a) the force transmitted to the floor at 1200 rpm and (b) the dynamic amplitude at this
speed. (Assume damping to be negligible.) [Ans. (a) 2.03 KN, (b) 0.447cm (5)

Prob.8 If the machine of Prob. 7 is mounted on a large concrete block of mass 1136 kg
and the stiffness of the springs or pads under the block is increased so that the statical
deflection is still 0.508 cm, what will be the dynamic amplitude? [Ans. X= 0.178cm] (5)
