Question
An engine has a moment of inertia of $3.5 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2$ and a natural frequency of $100 \mathrm{~Hz}$. Design a Houdaille damper such that the engine's maximum magnification factor is 4.8 .
Step 1
The critical damping ratio, denoted by ζ, can be calculated using the formula: ζ = 1 / (2 * √(I * ω^2)), where I is the moment of inertia and ω is the natural frequency. In this case, ζ = 1 / (2 * √(3.5 * (100)^2)) = 0.071. Show more…

A small motor, of mass $50 \mathrm{~kg}$, is found to have a natural frequency of $100 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$. It is proposed that an undamped vibration absorber of mass $4 \mathrm{~kg}$ be used to suppress the vibrations when the motor operates at $80 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$. Determine the necessary stiffness of the absorber.
When the motor is slowly brought up to speed, a rather large vibratory oscillation of the entire motor about $O-O$ occurs at a speed of 360 rev/min, which shows that this speed corresponds to the natural frequency of free oscillation of the motor. If the motor has a mass of $43 \mathrm{kg}$ and radius of gyration of $100 \mathrm{mm}$ about $O-O,$ determine the stiffness $k$ of each of the four identical spring mounts.
A four-cylinder automobile engine is to be supported on three shock mounts, as indicated in Fig. $3.46 .$ The engine-block assembly has a mass of $250 \mathrm{~kg}$. If the unbalanced force generated by the engine is given by $1000 \sin 100 \pi t \mathrm{~N},$ design the three shock mounts (each of stiffness $k$ and viscous-damping constant $c$ ) such that the amplitude of vibration is less than $2.5 \mathrm{~mm}$. Assume $\zeta=0.01$.
