2016F Pre Lab 3

This document provides instructions for a pre-lab assignment on kinematic excitation and forced vibrations. Students are asked to consider a mass attached to the end of a cantilever beam that is driven by an electrodynamic exciter moving vertically. Students are to derive equations of motion, expressions for the steady state response and accelerations of the mass and driven end, and plot the excitation, response, and accelerations over 10 oscillations. Material properties and dimensions of the beam and example mass are provided.

Pre-Lab. 3 - Kinematic excitation - Forced Vibrations


Pre-lab assignment (one per team) - REVISED

DUE : BEFORE THE LAB 3

RECOMMENDED FORMAT: PREFERABLY TYPED

Consider a mass M at the end of a cantilever beam (shown


below) of negligible mass with rectangular cross-section, Π The team:
similar as investigated in Lab #2. However, the left end of the
beam is driven by an electrodynamic exciter. The end moves 1. .............
vertically and its POSITION is defined by a function yb (t) , for 2. .............
example yb (t) = y b0 sin(ωt) 3. .............
4. .............

NOTE: Compare Lecture on the Kinematic Excitation

The dimensions of the beam are as follows (compare pre-lab 2):

L = 0.15 m - length
W = 0.02 m - width
T = 2 mm - thickness

Example mass: M = 30 g

Assume that the damping factor ζ = 0.01.

Beam material: steel

1. Derive the Equation of Motion (EOM) of this problem in symbolic form. Consider oscillations of the mass around the static
equilibrium position (i.e., neglect the force of gravity). There is a forcing function at the RHS of the EOM ! Assume small
deflections, so that a model of the mechanical oscillator (mass, stiffness and damping) dealt with in class can be used. (in the
inertial coordinate) Assume the mass of the beam is negligible.

2. Derive a symbolic expression for the response of this beam y(t) if the applied displacement of the shaker is yb = yb 0 sin(ωt ) .
Assume the steady state condition (i.e., after the transient part of the response to the shaker induced vibration decays). This is
the steady state response of the investigated dynamic system to harmonic forcing function, which is the same as the particular
solution of corresponding differential equation.

3. Derive an expression for the acceleration y(t ) of the mass (symbolic form, steady state condition defined above).

4. Derive an expression for the acceleration yb (t ) of the excited (left) end of the beam.

5. Compute the natural angular frequency of this system, ωn, and the corresponding natural frequency fn (you can copy these
computations from Pre-lab 2, but include them in this document)

6. Compute the coefficient of viscous damping, c.

7. Plot (in the same figure) the harmonic excitation and steady state forced response (item 2 above) of the considered system for
approximately 10 oscillations of the SHAKER (note that it will correspond to the time t = 10/f, where f = ω/(2π). Assume the
following values: yb0 = 2 mm and ω = 2 ωn.

8. Plot on another figure the accelerations y(t ) and yb (t ) for the same period of time (both accelerations on the same figure).
