    This document contains a midterm exam for a course on Vibration of Floating Structures. It includes 6 questions covering various topics related to vibration analysis of single and multi-degree of freedom systems, transient vibration, normal mode analysis, vibration of continuous systems, and added mass. The first question has two parts, with the first part asking about natural frequencies of a single-DOF spring-mass-dashpot system and the second part providing free vibration test data for a water tank to calculate damping ratio, natural period, damping coefficient, and number of cycles.

    1. Single DOF system : Forced Vibration.
    (a) For a single degree-of-freedom spring-mass-dashpot system, determine the tuning factor at the half-power
    points (side-bands) in terms of the damping ratio ; assuming <<1.
    Marks : 3
    A free vibration test is conducted on an empty water tank (Fig.1). A
    cable attached to the tank applied a horizontal static force of F = 75
    kN and pulled the tank horizontally by 5 cm. The cable is suddenly
    cut and the resulting free vibration is recorded. At the end of 4
    complete cycles, the time is 2 sec and the amplitude is 25 mm.
    Compute the following: (i) damping ratio, (ii) natural period of
    undamped vibration, (iii) damping coefficient (iv) number of cycles
    required for the amplitude to decrease to 5 mm.

    over a platform, which supported over the ground by a spring of constant
    k = 10N/m. What is the displacement x(t) of the platform as a function of
    time t. Express the complementary function (due to the impact) and the
    particular integral (due to the step function load).
    What is the maximum acceleration experienced by the platform.

    (b) In a refrigeration plant a section of the pipe carrying the refrigerant vibrated violently at a compressor speed of
    200 rpm. To eliminate this problem, spring-mass system is clamped to the pipe to act as an absorber. In the
    trial test the 4 kg absorber turned to 250 cycles/min resulted in two natural frequencies of 190 and 250
    cycles/min. If the absorber system is to be designed so that the natural frequencies lie outside the region 170
    and 300 cycles/min, what must be the weight and spring stiffness?
