1. Consider the system shown on the figure with a mass of 0.5kg and spring of 450N/m. The system is excited with a sinusoidal force F (t ) = 10. cos(10.t ) N with initial conditions
y (0) = 0 & (0) = 0 y
F (t ) y (t )
m
a. Write the general expression of the total solution of the response y (t ) when the system is exposed to the forcing shown, afterwards apply the initial conditions. Estimate maximum deflection by plotting the result not by solving troublesome trigonometric equations.
b. Assume that after a long time the transient vibration (the harmonic solution of equation of motion) died out somehow. Find the steady-state (particular solution) response. Calculate maximum deflection of the mass. 2. The system shown in the figure has following properties:
m = 2kg k = 4000 N / m c = 36 N .s / m
a. Plot the magnification of the system and find its maximum value and at which frequency it reached that value.
F (t ) y (t )
k
m c
b. If the excitation frequency is 5 rad/s, changing which property, except mass, would be the best thing to do in order to reduce the steady-state response amplitude of the system? Create a sample modified system as you decide then plot the vibration amplitude X vs. excitation frequency in a range of 0 rad/s to 150 rad/s for the modified and non-modified system on the same graph.
