Monash Universit Department of Mechanical Engineering MEC3406 Mechanical Vibrations Problem Solving Class (Set One)

1) The document describes a reciprocating engine mounted on a foundation with an elastic pad between them to reduce vibration transmission. It asks to develop two mathematical models of the system using gradual refinement of the modeling process. 2) It provides an example problem about finding the linearized spring constant and spring forces at given deflections for a spring with a given force-deflection characteristic. 3) It lists additional vibration problems, including finding the natural frequency of a spring-mass system arranged on an inclined plane and of a three spring system attached to a rigid bar.
