    1) Ice forming on power lines can cause them to flutter or gallop in the wind, vibrating the lines loose from their supports. The problem asks to find the maximum wind speed that will not cause galloping, given equations for the vertical force on the ice-covered line as a function of wind speed and other parameters. 2) The problem describes a sensor to measure structural displacement and asks to analyze its frequency response characteristics for different parameter values, and how it could be designed to best measure static and dynamic displacement. 3) The problem asks to calculate and plot the frequency response between an unbalanced mass on a rotor and the resulting vibration of the rotor attachment point on a wing, and how to design

    HOMEWORK # 8

    Fall 2008

    PROBLEM 1: (35%)
    During the winter months, power cables can become coated with ice as shown in the figure below. The
    ice creates an asymmetric aerodynamic surface overwhich wind blows causing the power cables to
    gallop and eventually vibrate loose from their supports. Galloping or flutter occurs in this case
    when the effective damping of the vibrating cables becomes negative. If the angle of attack, , which is
    the angle between the upstream wind velocity, u, and the relative velocity, uR, is relatively small, then
    find the maximum wind velocity that will not produce galloping of the cable (mass M, viscous damping
    C, vertical stiffness K) given that the vertical force on the ice-covered cable (ice mass Mi) is,
    1
    F = u 2WC x
    2

    where Cx is a force coefficient given by,

    u
    C x = R [C L cos + C D sin ]
    u
    with lift coefficient, CL, and drag coefficient, CD, and W is the area of the ice-covered cable. Assume all
    constants are known and that the cable can be modeled as a SDOF system. Comment on the result.

    PROBLEM 2 (30%)

    You would like to use the sensor below to measure the displacement of the structure. Assume that the
    output measurement from your sensor is proportional to the relative displacement between the base and
    the sensor element and that the casing is rigidly attached to the structure. Plot and describe the
    frequency response characteristics of this sensor for different values of the design parameters (M, C, and
    K). How would you design this sensor to make the best measurements? Can you measure the static
    displacement of the structure? Explain.

    PROBLEM 3 (35%)

    Calculate, plot, and explain the frequency response function between the weighted unbalance mass, me,
    and the dynamic unbalance, MXp, where Xp is the dynamic steady state displacement of the attachment
    point of the engine nacelle on the wing below when the rotor is spinning at a speed of N RPM, M is the
    total mass of the rotor-blade assembly, m is the unbalance mass of the rotor-blade assembly, and e is the
    eccentricity of unbalance. You will also need to calculate the effective mass of the wing as it undergoes
    vibration from the reciprocating imbalance of the engine. How would you design the nacelle attachment
    mount to eliminate the vibration amplitude of the wing at a rotational speed of N RPM? Show any
    associated frequency response functions associated with your proposed design.
