Ins t r u c t ion. In accordance with the force method, the canonical form of the differ-
ential equation of motion for a system with the single degree of freedom is
y = 811 (-my).
Here, 811 is the displacement of the load under the action of a unit force in the direction
coinciding with this displacement. Therefore, the frequency of free vibrations is

As an example of the determination of the compliance (coefficients for stati-
cally indeterminate systems), we consider Problem 2d. Breaking the
constraint (under the assumption that the constraint between the load of mass m
and the base surface is bilateral), we apply the force N (the constraint reaction

force) to the load. As a result, we arrive at the frame loaded by both the force N
and the inertial force J (Fig. 218). Using the force method, we obtain two equa-
tions in terms of the displacement of the load along the axes y and z:
y = d}J + d22 N; (1)
0= d 2 }J +d22 N; (2)
where J = -my.
Excluding the force N, we arrive at the expression
y= -o}\my, where £5;\ = (£5;}b;2 - £5;2b;\) / b;2·
Thus, the vibration frequency is
p = 1/ ~mo;l.
The approach used makes it possible the determination of the system compli-
ance 01 for statically indeterminate problems. This approach does not require
11
traditional calculations (as a rule, rather cumbersome) and preliminarily uncover-
ing the static indeterminacy with subsequently determining the displacement of
the unit force in the direction of the load shift under vibrations. If several con-
straints are imposed on the system, (e.g., the system is trice statically indetermi-
nate), then the same number of algebraic equations can be obtained for finding
constraint reaction forces. Furthermore, these forces are excluded from the differ-
ential equation.

8 The rotation of the gear wheel through a certain small angle rp causes a dis-
placement of the gear-wheel center by the distance rpD / 2 . In this case, the point
A (the point of fixation of the springs to the carrier) shifts by the distance
8 = rpl - rpD / 2. With allowance for the moments of inertia of the gear wheel
J 1 = mlD 2 /8 and of the carrier J 2 = m2D 2 112, we can find the kinetic en-
ergy of the system

We express the variation of the system potential energy in terms of the spring

expression

9 In the process of small free vibrations of the cylinder, its kinetic energy is the
sum of the kinetic energies of the rotational and translational motions
T = (1 12)J¢/ + (11 2)m(rrp)2.
With allowance for the moment of inertia J = Qr2 12g of the cylinder, the
equation for the total kinetic energy can be rewritten as
T=(3/4)(QI g)r2rp2.
The variation of the system potential energy is caused by stretching (com-
pressing) the springs and lifting the cylinder when it moves over the concave sur-
face. In the case of rotation of the cylinder through angle rp, its upper point A
shifts by the distance 8 = 2rrp . The potential energy of the deformed springs is
II J = 2c8 212 = 4cr2 rp2 .
While deviating the cylinder from its equilibrium position through angle rp, the
angular coordinate If/ of the cylinder center of mass is
Iff = rpr I(R - r).
In this case, the variation of the potential energy of the cylinder depends on its
position
Q rrp2
II2 = Q(R - r)(1- cos '1') = 2 (R-r) .
Substituting expression for kinetic and potential energies into the Lagrange
equation, we arrive at the equation for small free vibrations
rp+( t (R~r) + 136 d)rp = 0,

whence it follows that the system eigenfrequency is
_ 2 q + 16 cq
P- "3 (R-r) 3Q·
As follows from the formula obtained, p ~ 00 as R ~ r , i.e., the eigenfre-
quency increases with a decrease in the radius of curvature of the concave surface.
10
p = ~c I (2m) - g I (2/).
11
p = .Jc I Jm = 224 S·I.
12 To solve the problem, it is convenient to employ the Lagrange equation of the

second kind.
In the case of deviation of rod AB in the course of the vibration process
through a certain angle rp from the equilibrium position, the kinetic energy of the
disk is
T = mv 2 /2+ Jmqi; (1)
where rp is the torsion angle of the rod.

The linear velocity v of the disk displacement and the angular velocity iff are
related to the rod deviation velocity ip by the dependences
v = lip; iff = (l / R)ip. (2)

The potential energy of the system is
II = cc/ / 2 + mgy,
where y is the variation of the vertical coordinate of the disk center of mass.
It is evident that
y = 1(1- cos rp) sin a ~ (I rp2 sin a) / 2. (3)
Substituting these relationships into the Lagrange equation of the second kind,
we arrive at the differential equation
.. + c(lIR)2+mglsina - 0
rp (3/2)mI2 rp - .
Hence, the system eigenfrequency is
r---=-----
c(ll R)2+mglsina
p= (3/2)mI2
It follows from the latter relationship that the frequency p vanishes (i.e., the
system becomes unstable) when
sin a = -cl(mgR2).
13 In the case of shifting the float by the distance L1x in the vertical direction, e.g.,
downwards, a complementary buoyancy force (mJ2 / 4)rL\x arises. Thus, the
differential equation of motion can be represented in the form
[~L\X+(mJ2 /4)rL\x]/1 +m2L\x(l; /11)+cL\x(l;/I) = 0,
Therefore, the system eigenfrequency is
p = ~r-(mJ-2-r-/-4-+-c-I;-:-/-/-:-12-)(-~-+-m-2-1;-I-/-/12-).
14 We set up the differential equation of motion using the Lagrange equation of
the second kind.
The kinetic energy of the disk is
T = mv2/2 + J (P12 / 2,
where v is the velocity of the disk motion and (PI is its angular velocity.
The potential energy of the disk is

II = mg( R - r )(1- cos rp).
The angles rp and rpl (see Fig. 219a) and also the velocity v are related to
each other by the relationships
rpl = R;:r rp; V= (R - r)ifJ. (1)
With allowance for the latter expression, the disk kinetic energy is
T = [(R - r) / r2](mr2 + J)(ifJ2 /2).
We substitute the expressions for the kinetic and potential energies into the
Lagrange equation
(mr2 + J)rp + mg[r2 / (R - r)]sin rp = O. (2)
In the case of small vibrations ( sin rp ~ rp), the vibration frequency is
p = ~mgr2 / [(R - r)(mr2 + J)].

We now derive the differential equation of motion using the d' Alembert
method. According to Fig. 219b, we may write out
mX = - N cos rp + F cos rp; (3)
my = N cos rp + F sin rp - mg; (4)
JijJ = -Fr, (5)

Here, N is the normal pressing force and F is the friction force between the hub
and the guide, which hampers slipping the disk.

Multiplying Eqs. (3) and (4) by costp and sintp, respectively, we obtain after
summation
m(x cos cP + ji sin cp) = F - mg sin cpo (6)
Furthermore, using Eqs. (1) and (5), we write out the expression for the fric-
tion force
(7)
We now express the coordinates of the disk center of mass in terms of the an-
gle rp:
x = (R - r)sin cP; y = (R - r)(1- cos cp). (8)
Substituting relationships (7) and (8) into Eq. (6), we arrive at Eq. (2) derived
above by the Lagrange method.
15 The solution of this problem is similar to that of Problem 14. The differential
equation for small vibrations has the form
(mR2 + 2J)ijJ + CR2 cp = 0,
where ({J is the wheel rotation angle.

18 Analyzing motion of the load, we consider an arbitrary moment of time when

the contact point is shifted to the position B (Fig. 220a). We decompose the total
contact force into two components N x and Ny. Then, the differential equation
of motion can be represented in the form
(1)
where Ax and ~y are the displacements of the load center of mass in the course
of the vibration process.
Using the d' Alembert principle, we consider the sum of the moments of all
forces with respect to the center Ct of gravity of the load:
- Jc~ cP = Ny(ABcos(~ cP- ~ CPt)- ~x)cos~ cP- Nx(a + ~y). (2)
Taking into account the fact that AB = Rt ~ CPt = R2 (~cpt - ~ cp), we find
Fig. 220.
Am - R i1({J. ~x = a~rp.
U r1 - 2 M'
The quantity ~y = AB· ~rp = R1R2 't: is of a higher order of smallness.

Therefore, substituting Eq. (1) into Eq. (2), we obtain the differential equation of
motion
(J c + a 2m)11 rp + mg(R1R2 / I1R - a)11 rp = O. (3)
Thus, we find the eigenfrequency
p = ~r-[m-g-/-(-J-c-+-a-2-m-)]-(R-1-R-2-/-11-R---a-).
In the case of rotation of the flywheel, we can neglect the free-fall acceleration
and represent the differential equation of free vibrations of the load in the form
(see Fig. 220b)
m~x = -Nx + m{j}2r~ '1'; ~ 'I' = (a / r)~ rp;
Jc~ rp = Nxa - m{j}2r(R1~ rp1 - ~x),
where
11 rp1 = 11 rpR2 / ~R and I1x = a~ rp.
Excluding ~ '1'; 11 rp1; ~; and N from the equation, we arrive at
(J c + a2m)~ rp + m{j}2r[(R1R2 - a~R - a2~R / r)~R]~ rp = O.
Hence, the eigenfrequency of load vibrations is
p = ~[mo/r / (J c + a 2m)](R1R2 / ~R - a - a 2 / r).

20 The position of the pillar at an arbitrary moment of time is shown in Fig. 221a.
Taking the sum of the moments with respect to the hinge, we arrive
at the relationship

Since ~ = 2c 2 (Yl - ~y) and Yl = ya / I, we obtain after certain trans-

formations the differential equation for small free vibrations of the pendulum
my I + 2c2 (ya / 1- ~y)a - ngy = O. (2)
The flexure ~y (Fig. 221b) is

~y = P(l-a)2 a / (3EJJ = [a(l-a)2 / (3EJ x )](my).
(When determining Lly, we ignore an effect of the gravity force, therefore,
~ = PI/ a.)

22 In the case of small vibrations of point mass m, it is subjected to the forces
shown in Fig. 222a (in the rotating coordinate system). They are the inertial force
J = -myo' the centrifugal inertial force F = mw 2 (R + 1), the Coriolis iner-
tial force Fe = 2mwyo (owing to the relative character of the velocity of mo-
tion), as well as the forces Q and N acting from the side of the elastic rod. Pro-
jecting the force F onto the axes y and z and assuming both vibrations and the
angle pto be small, we may consider that the load is shifted only along the y axis.
Therefore, using the d' Alembert principle, we arrive at the two following
equations:
myo + Q- mw 2 yo = 0,

2mOJj;o + mw (R + 1) = N.

In the case of small vibrations, an effect of the Coriolis force on the axial force
can be ignored, i.e., we may assume
N = mal(R + 1). (2)
Analyzing the flexure of the rod (see Fig. 222b), we arrive at the equation
EJxY" = -(Yo - y)N + Q(l- z),
or
(3)
The solution to Eq. (3) is of the form
y= C1 coshaz+C2 sinhaz+ Yo -(QI N)(l-z). (4)
From the boundary conditions z = 0, y = 0, y' = 0, we find C1 and C2 :
(5)
Since y = Yo as z = 1, from solution (4) with allowance for relationships (5),
we obtain
Q[(l I N)coshal-(l1 aN)sinhal]- Yo cosh a = O. (6)

Using Eq. (1), we exclude Q from Eq. (6). As a result, we arrive at the equa-

We can show that in the case of m =0 0), after the uncertainty has
(as a ~
been unraveled, the bracket in Eq. (7) is equal to 3EJx I ml 3 . This corresponds
to the eigenfrequency of the point mass. The vibration frequency of the rod is
P = (al)3 coshal _ (al)2 ( = 3EJ I ( /2)) (8)

The product al that enters into expression (8) is related to the angular veloc-
ity and to the load vibration eigenfrequency Po by the relationship

at = ~3(l + R I /)(m I Po)'

23 If a force directed along the y axis is (statically) applied to the load of mass m
(Fig. 223a) then the forces Q and N act on the rod. These forces can be expressed
as
Q = P+ mw 2 yo; (1)
N = Mm2(R + I). (2)

Fig. 223.
We imply that the rod rigidity is described by the ratio c = PI Yo and find
Yo using the approximate formula for flexures in the case of the transverse-
longitudinal bending:
(3)
where
y = Ql3 1(3EJJ.
Substituting relationships (1) and (2) into expression (3), we obtain after cer-
tain transformations
Yo [1- 3EJx(~2~/ Pc) ] 3~!x (1 + N 1Pc) = P.

Hence, the system rigidity (with due regard to the centrifugal inertial forces) is
C = Co [1 + (41 ;r2)(ali - moi,
where
Co =3EJx /13; a 2 = N I(EJx) = moi(R+l)1 EJx'
Based on the known system rigidity, we find the approximate expression for the
eigenfrequency of load vibrations:

[We imply formula (8) in the solution to Problem 22 and formula (4) in the

(the difference is no more than 4%). In the case of al > 4, it is not possible to
use formula (4) for determining the frequency.
24 The position of the load of mass m in the equilibrium state and with allowance
for inertial forces (the load is shifted by the distance YIO) is shown in Fig. 224a.
In this figure, the position of the load is indicated for the case that there is an ad-
ditional time-dependent shift Y2k. The forces acting on the load are shown in
Fig. 224b. Here, F2y and F2x are the components of the force F2 (see
Fig. 224a); J is the inertial force, Q and N are the forces acting on the load from
the side of the elastic rod. Apart from these forces, the load is subject to the
Coriolis force (see the solution to Problem 22) that can be ignored in the case of
small vibrations.
The equation of motion for the load has the form
J +F2y -Q=O,
or
mY2k - moi(ll + YIO + Y2k) + Q = O. (1)
The forces Q and N can be represented as
Q = Qo + ~Q; NF2z = moll, (2)
where Qo = mol (II +110) is the force acting on the mass m in the deviated
equilibrium state; ~Q is an additional force caused by the vibrations.
In the case of small vibrations, the force N (without allowance for the Coriolis
force) is invariable in both static state and vibratory state.
Equation (1) with due regard to relationship (2) takes the form
mY2k - molY2k + ~Q = O. (3)
The differential equation for the arched rod axis can be written out as
EJxY" = -N(ylO + Y2k - y) + (1- z). (4)

The solution to Eq. (5) is of the fonn

EJxY" = N(Yk - y) + Q(l- z),
or

After Eq. (2) has been solved, we have
Y = C] cosaZ + C2 sinaZ + h + (Q I N)(l- z). (3)
Since Y = Y' = 0 as z = 0, we obtain the following expressions for the con-

stants C] and C2 :
C] = -(Yk + Ql IN); C2 = Q l(aN).

As z = I, we have Y = Yk Thus, it follows from Eq. (3) the dependence

Q = [EJx a 2cosal I(sinal-al cosal)]Yk'

Excluding Q from expression (1), we arrive at the equation for small vibrations
of the load:
Yk + p~ {(al)3 cosal/[3(sinal-al cosal)] - (wi PO)2}Yk = O.
Thus, the vibration frequency is
P = po~(al)3 cosal 1[3(sinal-al cosal)]-(w I PO)2.
26 In this case, the load deflected from the equilibrium position by the distance
Yo ' in addition to the inertial force my0 and to the elastic force cyo' is subject to
the centrifugal force mw 2Yo' Therefore, the differential equation of motion has
the form
myo +(c-mw2)yo = O.
Thus, the frequency of natural vibrations is
.J
P = elm - w2 ,
i.e., in the case that elm - w2 P = 0 , the motion becomes unstable.
27
P = )21'0 I(ml).
28 We consider the state of mass m, which corresponds to a deviation from the
equilibrium state (Fig. 226a). In accordance with the d' Alembert principle, we can
write out
or
y+ 1'oyl I[mxo(l-xo)] = O.
Thus, the load eigenfrequency is
P = ~1'o1 I[mxo(l-xo)].
The plot for this dependence is presented in Fig. 226b.
29 In the process of vertical vibrations, the load is subject to the following forces:
the inertial force mv, the gravity force mg, and the restoring force N of . =
The corresponding differential equation of motion has the form

The total stress (j in the rope can be considered as a sum of the static stress
and the stress caused by elongation 8.x of the vibrating rope:
aF=mg+EFAx/x, (2)
where
x= Rmt =vt.
With allowance for expression (2), we can rewrite Eq. (1) as
mD.i + 8.xEF /( vt) = O. (3)
The differential equation (3) is the Bessel equation whose complete integral
can be represented in the general form as
(4)
where CI and C2 are the integration constants, r = 2.JEFt / mv is the dimen-

sionless variable, and II' ~ are the first-order Bessel functions of the first and
second kind, respectively.
We now calculate the velocity of motion for the mass m:
(5)
Using the well known relation between the Bessel functions of the zero and
first order, we arrive at
rloCr) = iT [rIl(r)]; r1'o(r) = iT [r~(r)].
We now represent Eq. (5) in the form
AX = [C/o(r)+ C2 1'o(r)][2EF /(mv)]. (6)
The integration constants are found from the boundary conditions (,ix = 0
and L1x = L1Xo as t = to):
CI =-A~(ro); C2 = All (ro);
A= ~04to1z-6
II(TO)YO(TO)-Io(z-o)l!(TO) .
We obtain the final solution to the problem in the form
,ix = Ar[II (ro)~ (r) - ~ (ro)II (r)]. (7)
We now find the sequential moments of time for which the moving mass
passes by the equilibrium position, i.e., the moments of time corresponding to
,ix = O. As follows from solution (7), these moments of time are determined by
the relationship
II (r)/ ~ (r) = II (ro)/ ~ (ro) = const. (8)
In accordance with the setting of the problem,
ro = 2~EFto / mv = 2~r--1O-1O-.-1O---5.-1-/(-10-0-.1-) = 63.2.
From the solution to Eq. (2), we obtain the moments of time Tn for which the
rope elongation is equal to the static elongation.
We now analyze a particular case of initial conditions. We assume that to = 0,
therefore, 10 (0) = 1 and 1'0 (0) = 00 . By virtue of the boundedness of the veloc-
ity, it follows from Eq. (6) that C2 = 0, CI = ,ixmv /(2EF) , and the solution
acquires the form
,ix = rII(r)AXomv/(2EF).
Hence, it follows that ,ix =0 as II (rn) =O. For finding the roots rn, the
handbook (Janke E. et al., 1960) can be used. Thus, we determine r l =3.83,
r 2 =7.01, r3 = 10.17, etc.
Moments of time tn for which ,ix = 0 are
tn = r~mv /( 4EF).
30 In order to derive the differential equation for the motion of the load, we em-
ploy the Lagrange equation of the second kind. At any arbitrary moment of time,
the position of the body is determined by two coordinates, namely, by the angle rp
of the deviation from the static position of the load and by the length I of the un-
wound portion of the rope. Since I = OJRt is the known function of time, we
choose the angle rp as the generalized coordinate.
In a Cartesian coordinate system, the kinetic energy of the moving load is ex-
pressed as
where
x = I sin qJ, y = I cos qJ.
Therefore, the kinetic energy of the load is
T = O.5m[(l sin rp + lq,cosrp)2 + (l cosrp -lq,sin rp)2 + 0.5m(12 + 12rp2)]. (1)
The potential energy corresponding to the deviated state of the load is
II = mgl(l- cos qJ). (2)
Substituting Eqs. (1) and (2) into the Lagrange equation
d(oT)+m_O
dtt3ip &p - ,
we arrive at the differential equation of motion in the form
iP + (2i / l)riJ + (g / I) sin qJ = O.
Assuming the deviations to be small (sin qJ ~ qJ ), we obtain with allowance
for the time dependence of the unwound portion of the rope (I = OJRt) that in the
case of small free vibrations, the differential equation can be written out as
iP + 2ip / t + gqJ /(mRt) = O. (3)
In the case of ascending the load, the free length of the rope at an arbitrary
moment of time (under the assumption that 10 = OJRto) is
1 = 10 - OJRt = OJR(to - t) = OJRt" (tl = to - t),
so that the differential equation of motion takes the form
iPt1 - 2qJt1 / tl + gqJ / (OJRt l ) = o. (4)
The solution to Eq. (3) can be represented as
qJ = (CI / 1')11(1') + (C2 / 1')1';(1'), (5)
Here, II ( 1'), 1'; ( 1') , are the first-order Bessel functions of the first and sec-
ond kind, respectively, and l' = 2~ gtl / (OJR).
The integration constants are found from initial conditions of the problem
(qJ = qJo and riJ = 0 as t = to).
Differentiating Eq. (5) with respect to time with due regard to the well-known
relationships
1. [tII(T) ] = tI (T); 2
1. [t ~ (T) ] =- t 1'; (T),

(Janke E. et al., 1960), where 12 ( T) , 1'; ( T) are the second-order Bessel func-
tions of the first and second kind, respectively, we arrive at
cP = -(Cl2 (T)/ T+ C2 1';(T)/ T).
From initial conditions, we have
CI = tpoTo1';(To) / [II ( To)1';( To) - I 2 ( To)~( To)];
C2 = -tpo TO 12 (To) / [II (To )1';( To) - I 2( To)~ (To)].
Substituting the expressions found for the integration constants CI and C2
into equation of motion (5), we obtain
_ TO II (')Y2('0)-l! (.)12('0)
tp - tpo -; II('0)Y2 ('0)-I2 ('o)l!('0)·
We now represent the solution to Eq. (4) in terms of the Bessel functions:
where 13 ( T), 1; ( T), are the third-order Bessel functions of the first and second
kind, respectively.
The integration constant are determined from initial conditions of the problem
much as it was done in the case of solving Problem 29.
In the final form, we have
_ .3 13 (')Y2('O)-Y3(.)12 ('0)
tp - tpo '5 13 ('0)Y2 ('0)-I2 ('O)}3 ('0) .
The case of descending the load should be analyzed independently.
31 The differential equation describing small free vibrations of a system with the
single degree of freedom has the form
my+cy = 0, (1)
where y is the vertical displacement of the rope and c is the bending rigidity.
In order to determine the latter quantity, we apply the unit force P at the fixa-
tion point of the load. Then, we find that the bending rigidity is c = 1 / y I ' where
Y1 is the flexure caused by the unit force.
The differential equation for bending the beam lying on the elastic base is of
the form
or
(2)
where
We now represent the solution to Eq. (2) as

Y = y(O)VI + y'(0)V2 + y"(0)V3 + ym(0)V4· (3)
Here, y(O), y'(O), ... are the values of the beam flexure and of its derivatives
at the origin (i.e., at X = 0) and V i(X) is the Krylov function:
VI =coshfJxcosfJx; v2 = 2~(coshfJxsinfJx+sinhfJxcosfJx);
V3 = 2~2 sinh fJx sin fJx; v4 = 4~3 (cosh fJx sin fJx - sinh fJx cos fJx).
Assuming that the origin is chosen in the middle of the beam (at the load fixa-
tion point), we can write out the boundary conditions that allow determining
y(O), y'(O), '" , etc.:
for 0, y'(O) = 0, y'''(O) = -1/ 2EJx'
X =
for X = I / 2, yeO) = 0, y"(O) = o.

We now calculate the system rigidity c = 1/ YI . To this aim, we initially find

the quantity /3:
fJ=~k/(4EJJ; fJ=Iml.
In this case, fJI / 2 = 1· 2 / 2 = 1, c = 1/ YI . After the value of Y has been 1
calculated, we find c = 1/ YI = 9.44 kN/m. Then, the frequency of natural vi-

brations is
p = -Jc / m = -J9440 /100 == 9.7 c- 1
•
32 By analogy with the solution to Problem 31, the equation for bending the beam
has the form
Y = CIVI + C2 V2 + C3V3 + C4V4·
Placing the origin at the left edge point of the beam, we find CI = C2 = 0 .
For the cross section X = I, we have Y" = 0, EJxY'" = -1. Using these
boundary conditions, we can find the flexure caused by the unit force:
(I) - 1 v2(fJI)v3 (fJI)-vl (fJI)v4 (fJI)
YI - EJx v[(fJI)+4fJ4v2(fJI)v4(fJI)
With allowance for fJ = 0.01 cm- 1 and fJI = 1, we find the rigidity of the
system
c = 1 / YI' or C = 3.8kN/m,
and the natural frequency of vibrations
p =,Jc / m = ,J3800 /20 = 13.8 c·'.

33 The rigidity of the system is determined in the same manner as in Problem 31.
For the determination of initial parameters entering into Eq. (3) of the solution to
Problem 31, we deal with the following conditions: y = 0, y' = 0 as X = 0
and Q = EJx y = -1 / 2 as X = I. In this case, the flexure of the beam at the
load fixation point (x = I) under the action of a unit force is
_ 1 v'j (PI)-vz(PI)v4 (PI)
y\ (I) - 2EJx v\ (Pl)vz (Pl)+4p4v3 (Pl)v4 (PI) .
In the case under consideration
k -/E-'j-x'
f31 = HJr--- or f31 = 0.25,
and the load eigenfrequency is
p = ~ my~ (I)' or p = 87 c·'.

34 The Rayleigh method is based on the equality of the maximal values of the ki-
netic and potential energies in the case of vibratory conservative systems:
Tmax
= IImax .
The maximal kinetic energy of the system is
Tmax = 0.5my; +0.5! mol dz.

Here, the second term represents the maximal value of the beam kinetic energy.
The maximal potential energy (beam bending energy) is
IImax = 0.5ey; ,
where
c = 3EJx /13.
The beam flexure under vibration can be represented in the form
y(t, z) =y/z)sinpt.
The function y\ (z) must qualitatively correspond to the expected shape of
vibrations and satisfy the boundary conditions of the problem.
In the case being discussed, the equation for beam bending under the action of
a certain force Q applied to the mass m (see Fig. 227) can be taken as y\ (z). In
this case,
_

This function satisfies all boundary conditions of the problem (y\ = y{ = 0

as Z = 0 and y" = 0 as Z = I). We now calculate the maximum value of the
system kinetic energy:

_ p2 ( QI3 )
Tmax -2 3EJx (m+ f.lmol),
where P=}l[1(f)' _t(f)3]dZ = 0.236 is the coefficient used in the
determination of the system reduced mass.

The maximal value of the potential energy is
TImax = (c / 2)[QI3 / (3EJJf
Equating Tmax and TI max , we find the natural frequency for vibration of the
system according to the formula
p = ~c / (m + JIfI'lol) = ~c / [m + (33 / 140)mol]'
35 The solution to the problem is similar to that presented above. We choose the
function of beam flexure in the form
Yt(z) = Yo sin1lZ / 2/.
In this case, the coefficient of the mass-reduction is
r21
f.l = il.h sin 2 ~i dz,
and the vibration eigenfrequency is
p = ~,....~-/(-m-+-m-o/-),
where C = 6EJx / 13 •
After the calculations have been performed, we arrive at f.l =1 .
If we take as the flexure function the flexures caused by a certain concentrated

force applied to the mass m then the beam mass reduction coefficient becomes
equal to. J1 = 34/ 33 ~ 1.03.
36 The formula for calculating the eigenfrequency of the system has the form
p = ~ c / (m + f11'YlJ),
where c is the system rigidity, /J is the mass reduction coefficient, and m, is the
distributed mass of the system.
The parameters c and /J, which correspond to the schematic diagrams pre-
sented in Figs. 32a-32f, are, respectively, equal to
c = Gd 4 / (8D;), J1 ~ 0.333;
c = EJ)/3, J1 ~ 0.121;
c = 96EJx /7/3, J1 ~ 0.445;
c = 24EJ) 13 , J1 ~ 0.371;
c = 3EJ)3 / (a 3b 3), J1 ~ 0.522;
c = mJ 4G / (66a),
where i is the number of turns in the spring. The coefficient /J is determined with
allowance for particular boundary conditions for schematic diagrams shown in
Fig. 32 (see the solution to Problem 34).
In the case of the schematic diagram presented in Fig. 32e, it is necessary to re-
place the mass m by the moment of inertia J in the formula for the determination
of eigenfrequency.
1.2 Free Vibrations of a System with Allowance for

Resistance Forces
37 The differential equation for small free vibrations of the mixer shaft is of the
form
JijJ + alp + crp = 0,
or
(1)
where
2n = a / J, p2 = c / J.
n = 1.2 /(2 . 0.5) = 1.2 s-\ and
According to the formulation of the problem,
p2 = GmJ4 / (32lJ) = 19.6 s-', or p = 4.43 s-'. Since p > n, the damping
periodic regime arises, and the solution to equation (1) describing free vibrations
takes the form
1.2 Free Vibrations of a System with Allowance for Resistance Forces 127
rp = e-l.2t (C1 cos4.25t + C2 sin 4.25/). (2)
The integration constants C1 and Cz can be found from the initial conditions of
the problem: rp = rpo and cp = 0 as 1 = 0 (rp is the twist angle of the uni-
formly rotating shaft).
In the case of the shaft uniformly rotating at an angular velocity n,
the shaft
twist angle is
rpo = -aQl c.
Using the initial conditions, we find C1 = -aQ I c and C2 = O. With allow-
ance for this fact, equation of motion (2) acquires the form
rp = _( d~ )e1.2t cos 4.25/.
The time 1* necessary for the vibration amplitude to decrease by a factor of 10
can be found from the condition e -1.2t. = 0.1. Hence, it follows that I. = 1.9 s.
38 The differential equation of motion has the form

iP + 2ncp + p~rp = 0,
where 2n = "y 4(D;~) pv; and J is the moment of inertia of the cylinder.
We now calculate
Po2 = GJp
Ll

Since

po-n
we finally arrive at
n = p~ - 4~2 = (1.02)2 4'i!:~~2 = 0.295 s-' and V= 12.826 mls.
39 Based on the force method, we obtain the following differential equation for
small free vibrations of mass m:
(1)
Equation (1) contains yet another unknown quantity Yk because the resistance
force is applied to not the mass m but to the inertialess beam at the point K. There-
fore, we should analyze a further equation relating the displacement of the point K
to the forces acting on the system.
In accordance with the force method, we have
(2)
Thus, the analysis of free vibrations of mass m is reduced to solving the set of
equations (1) and (2). We seek the solution in the form
y = AeAt ; Yk = BeAt.
As a result, we arrive at the characteristic equation of the third degree in the
form
a(022 _ 012 )..1,3 +_1_..1,2 + a022 ..1,+_1_= 0
021 all 021 011 021m 011021m .
The problem being analyzed corresponds to problems with a fractional number
of degrees of freedom (in the case under consideration, we deal with one and a
half degrees of freedom).
40 We set up the differential equation of disk motion. The disk is subject to the in-
ertial moment - J ijJ, to the moment - C rp of the spring resistance forces, and to
the moment - a¢> of the damper viscous resistance. Therefore, we can write out
JijJ + a¢> + crp = 0,
or
ijJ + 2n¢> + p2rp = 0,
where J = Jl'D;~P = 1.57 ·10-3 kg.m\ 2n = a / J, and p2 = C / J.
The spring stiffness is
C -- EJx - Edt
Jl'~i - 67 ~i, C =.
0938 N m.
In the absence of damping, the system eigenfrequency is
p = ~c / J, p = 24.3s- l
•
The logarithmic decrement is determined as <5 = n To ' where
To = 27'( / ~ p2 - n 2. Hence, it follows that the reduced coefficient of the vis-

cous-resistance force is
n = <5p / ~02 + 47'(2; n = 5.64,
and the coefficient of viscous resistance is
a = 2n Ii = 2·5.64/ 1.57.10-3 = 7.18.10 3 N m s.
41. We write out the differential equation describing free vibrations of the system
in the form
.. a ' cl+mg 0
rp + 2ml rp + --zmrrp = ,
where a is the coefficient of viscous resistance to the motion.
The system eigenfrequency in the absence of damping is
= ~(cl + mg) / 2ml.
p
Using the formula c = Gd 4 / (80 3 i), we find c = 333 kN/m, which yields
p = 14.0 S-I. The damping period of vibrations is
whence it follows
n = ~ p2 - 41r2 / ,g .
Upon substituting values of the variables and calculating, we obtain n == 12.5 s·!.
The coefficient of resistance to the motion, we find from the condition
2n = a / (2ml), i.e., a = 4nml = 4 ·12.5 ·10·0.15 = 75 N m s.
42 In the case of motion of the piston in liquid, it is subject to the inertial force
my , to the spring elastic force ey, and to the resistance force developed by the
damper. The resistance force is proportional to the velocity of the fluid flow
through the orifice in the piston, and, hence, to the velocity of piston motion
F=aj.
Using the d'Alembert principle, we arrive at the differential equation of piston
motion
Y+ 2ny + p2 Y = O. (1)
Taking into account initial conditions of the problem under consideration
(y y
= Yo and = 0 as t = 0 ), we represent the solution to Eq. (1) in the form
y = yoe-nt cos(~ p2 - n2 . t). (2)
The reduced coefficient of viscous resistance can be calculated by the formula

n = [41r.uH / (mz)](D / e)4.
After the calculations have been carried out, we arrive at n ~ 5.42 S·I and
p2 = e / m = 3.10 2 /2.73 = 1098.9 S·2.
The time tl/2 required to decrease the deviation of the piston from the equilib-
rium position by a factor of two, we find from the condition y = 0.5 Yo' Substi-
tuting the values obtained for nand pinto Eq. (2), we determine the desired time
using the relationship
05 -nt
. Yo =yoe ,
whence it follows tl/2 = 0.14 s.
43 The moving load is subject to the inertial force -mi, to the spring elastic re-
sistance force 2ex, and to the resistance force ax of liquid. With allowance for
these forces, the differential equation of load motion can be represented in the
form
X + 2m + p2 X = 0,
where n = a / 2m = 500/ 2·50 = 5 S·I and p2 = 2e / m = 2.~~OO = 40 S·2.
Taking into account initial conditions, we obtain the solution to the equation of
-nt
motion of the load in the form X = xoe cos PIS, where
PI = ~ p2 - n 2 = 3.87 S-I. The vibration damping time t. can be found from
the condition
whence it follows
44 In accordance with the d' Alembert principle, we set up the differential equation
of load motion in the form of the equilibrium equation under the deviation of the
rod through a certain small angle f{J'.
mglrp = ml2ip - ca 2ip - a 2aip = O. (1)
Using the denotation 2n = a 2a / (mI2), p2 = (ca 2 - mg/) / m1 3 , we

write out differential equation (1) as
ip + 2nip + p2rp = O. (2)
For n = 0, the system under consideration has the eigenfrequency

P = ~(ca2-mg/) / m1 3 •
In order to determine the logarithmic decrement of damped vibrations, we cal-
culate the spring stiffness C8D 3 i . Upon substituting numerical values,
= Gd 4 /
we obtain c = 10 kN/m and p2 = 1600 S-2, or P = 40 S-I.

The reduced coefficient of damper resistance is
n = a 2a / (2mI2) = (0.2 2 ·3 .10 = 24 S-I. The eigenfrequency
2) / 2 ·1· 0.5 2
of damped vibrations is PI = ~ p2 - n 2 = .J1600 - 576 = 32 S-I. The period

of damped vibrations is To = 27r / P = 6.28 / 40 = 0.157 s. Thus, the loga-
rithmic decrement is 8 = nTo = 24·0.157 = 3.768.
45 In the case of deviation of the level of the liquid column from the equilibrium
position by the height x, the differential equation of vibrations, which is obtained
from the Lagrange equation of the second kind, acquires the form
.. 2 nx+px=
x+ 2 0,
where
2n = a / m = 4a sin 13 / [mi 2 ps(1 + sin 13)] ; p2 = (2g / s)sinfJ,
(since the gravity force of an unbalanced column of liquid is 2xgpm1 2 / 4 ),

Hence, it follows that the vibration frequency is PI = ~ p2 - n 2 and the vibra-
tion period is To = 27r / PI.
46 While moving (from the right to the left) the load of mass m from the initial
position, we can write out the differential equation of motion as
mXI +cXI -F, =0. (1)
Since x = Xo and X = 0 as t = 0, the solution to Eq. (1) has the form

XI -_( Xo F, ) COSp t +-2'
--2 F, (2)
mp mp
where P =.Jc / m.
We can find the time tl corresponding to the load motion from the right to the
left from the condition XI (tl) = O. Therefore,
tl = 7r / p.
The maximal deviation of the load to the left from the neutral position is
xlmax = -xo + 2F, / mp2.
In the case of the load motion from the left to the right, the differential equa-
tion of motion (the Coulomb friction force changes its sign) is represented in the
form
(3)
For initial conditions x2 = XI max , X2 = 0 as t = tl , the solution to Eq. (3) is

of the form
X2 = (Xo - ~~ )cos pt - (:;2)'.
After each half-period, the vibration amplitude decreases by 2F, /(mp2).

Therefore, we may write out for the nth half-period
xn = [xo -(2n-l)F, /(mp2) cos pt+ (-ly-I F, /(mp2).
Vibrations of the load continue so long as
F, < C / x(m-I)max •
47 When twisting of a free spring through a certain angle rp, the spring length
changes by A. In the structure under consideration, the axial displacement of the
disk is absent, i.e., A. = O. Therefore, the reaction force N arises in the supports.
In order to determine the structure rigidity, we write out the following equations
for displacements:
(1)
Here, 811 , 812 are twist angles and 8 21 , 822 are axial elongations of the free
spring subject to a unit moment and a unit force, respectively.
We now calculate the coefficients 8ij. To do this, we apply to the spring an
external torque 8 = 1, which causes the internal torque MIt = 1· sin a and the
internal bending moment Mlb = 1· cos a (a is the helix angle of spring turns).
The application of a unit axial force also causes the appearance of the internal
torque M2t =1· R cos a and the internal bending moment M 2b =1· R sin a
(R is the radius of friction surfaces). Following the Mohr method, we have

where i is the number of turns in the spring.
The solution to the set of equations (1) with allowance for A =0 makes it
possible to obtain the following relationship:
rp=c/ M,
where
and
CI = 812 /(811 812 -81;).
In accordance with the solution obtained, the moment of the friction force is
Mf = JlNR = JlclrpR = cOrp.
Here, C * = pRcl and J1. is the coefficient of the Coulomb friction, and R is the
radius if the friction surfaces.
In the last relationship, the minus sign is absent because ofthe existence of two
friction surfaces, and M f is independent of the fact what is the contact surface.
Thus, in the process of vibration, the following moments act on the disk: the
moment of inertial forces J rp, the moment of the spring resistance force crp,
and the moment of the friction force c· rp, which is always directed oppositely to
the velocity ip of motion. The differential equation of motion, we represent in the
form
J¢ + cljJ + sign~· qJ = 0, (5)
where the term sign qJ implies the sign ofthe velocity of motion.
According to the formulation of the problem, at I = 0, the disk is deviated
from the equilibrium position through angle qJo.
For the fIrst quarter of the vibration period (as qJo ~ qJ ~ qJOI ), the differential
equation of motion has the form
ip+(c/l +c· / J)qJ =O.
The necessary condition for disk motion is the validity of the inequalities
cqJo > c· qJo or M > M f as is indicated in the formulation of the problem.
The solution to the equation of motion for the fIrst quarter of the vibration pe-
riod is of the form
where
kl = ~(c-c·)/ J o.
The time of motion in the fIrst quarter of the period is II= 1l / 2kl .
In the case of passing by the equilibrium position ( qJ = 0), the signs of both
the resistance force moment and inertial moment change. At the same time, the
sign of the Coulomb friction force moment conserves because of the conservation
of the sign of the velocity ljJ. Therefore, we can describe motion in the second
quarter of the period by the differential equation
¢ + (c + c· )qJ / J = O. (6)
Taking into account initial conditions of motion (qJ = 0, ljJ = -ljJokl as
I = II)' the solution to Eq. (6) can be represented in the form
· k
qJ -- -qJo rkl sm zI,
2
where k2 = ~(cI + c· ) / J .Hence, it follows that at the end of a half-period, as

12 = 1l / 2k2 ,i.e., I = II + 12 = 0.51l(1 / kl + 1/ k 2), the deviation of the disk
from the equilibrium condition is
(7)
the velocity of motion being equal to qJ~1 = O.

In the third quarter of the period, the differential equation of motion has form
(1) but with the initial angle qJOI being determined by expression (7). In the fourth
quarter of the period, the motion is described by differential equation (6).
Solving the problem in a manner similar to that of preceding Problem 46, we

arrive at the conclusion that the amplitude of the disk rotation angle decreases at
the end of the first period down to
qJOI = qJo(kl / k2)2 = qJo(C - CO) / (c + c·).
At the end of the nth period, the vibration amplitude is
qJOn = qJo (kl / k 2 ) 2n = qJo [( C - c" ) / (c + c" ) r.
The vibration period is
T = 2(tl +t2 ) = n-(11 + lJ+ l~. (~C7· +~C'/).

48 In the presence of Coulomb friction between the disk and the supports, the dif-
ferential equation of free vibrations of the system (see Problem 47) can be written
out as
JijJ + c(p + sign tpe. qJ = O. (1)
We consider that, at an initial moment of time (t = 0 ) the disk has a certain

deviation qJo being at the rest state «(Po = 0). In this case, for the starting phase
of motion, as angle qJ varies within the limits 0 < qJ ::::; qJo' equation (1) has the
form
..
qJo + k I2 qJ = 0, (2)
where
k~=(c-c")/ J.
When passing the disk by the equilibrium position, the sign of the inertial force
changes. and Eq. (1) acquires the following form:
.. + k 22 qJ2
qJ2 = 0,
where
k; = (c + c· ) / J.
Thus, in the third and fourth quarters of the period, Eqs. (2) and (3) are valid,
respectively, etc.
The solution to Eq. (2), we represent in the form
qJI = CI cos kit + C2 sin kit.
With due regard to qJI = qJo and (PI = 0 as t = 0, we arrive at
qJI = qJo cos kit, (PI = -klqJo sin kit. (4)
Fig. 228.
In the phase plane ( ffJ; rP), expressions (4) can be represented as ellipsis equa-
tions (Fig. 228):
ffJI2 / ffJ; + ffJI2 / (kl ffJo)2 = l.
The solution to Eq. (3), we obtain with allowance for the fact that
ffJ2 = ffJI = 0 and rP2 = rPl = -klffJo as I = II = 1r / 2kl . In this case,
ffJ2 =-(kl / k2)ffJosink21, (P2 =-klffJocosk21. (5)
Here, the time t in the second quarter of the motion varies from 0 to 12 , The
end of the second quarter of motion is determined from the condition that rP2 =0
as 1 = 12, Hence, it follows that 12 = 1r / 2k2 .
The set of equations (5) can also be represented in the phase plane as the ellip-
sis equation (see Fig. 228):

We find the solutions for other segments of motion in a similar manner. Since

49 The differential equation for free mechanical vibrations of the systems has the

The differential equations of electric-current oscillations and voltage oscilla-
tions in the circuit can be represented as

In accordance with the structure of Eqs, (2) and (3), an analog electric circuit is
a circuit containing a capacitor of capacity C, inductance coil L, and a switch. If
we accumulate electric charge on the capacitor plates and close the circuit, then
oscillations of the electric current I and of the voltage U arise there at a frequency
p =1/ .JLC.
50 The differential equation of free damped piston vibrations is written out as
m.x+ax+cx=O.
The differential equations for oscillations of the electric current and of the volt-
age, we represent in the form
Li + JU + / / C = 0, (1)
cO +U / R+U / L =0. (2)
Equation (1) describes oscillations of the electric current in a circuit that con-
tains an inductance coil L, a resistor R, and a capacitor C connected in parallel.
Equation (2) describes voltage oscillations in a circuit consisting of the same com-
ponents but connected in series.
1.3 Forced Vibrations
51 When the vibrograph base moves according to the harmonic law

=
Y Yo sin mt , the magnet executes vibrations being described by the differential
equation
my = -C(YI - y). (1)
Here, YI and Y are displacement of the lower and upper spring ends, respec-
tively, and YI - Y is the spring stretching, or, which is the same, the displacement
of the magnet with respect to the coil.
We now make use of denotation
Z= YI-Y. (2)
Then,
•• •• •• 2 •
Yo =Z+ Y =z- Yom slllmt. (3)
Substituting the value of Y from Eq. (1) with allowance for Eq. (2) into Eq. (3),
we arrive at the differential equation of small forced vibrations

where p~ = c 1m.
The solution to the last equation is of the form

It is evident that the least distortion of vibrations takes place in the case of
p~ « m 2 . In this case, Z ~ yosinwt. The minus sign implies that the phase of
magnet vibrations is opposite to that of base vibrations, i.e., in this case, the mag-
net remains immobile in space.
52 While rotating the piece at an angular velocity OJ, the law of motion for the
measuring rod is expressed by the equation
x = I sin mI. (1)
In this case, the rod is subject to the inertial force -mi, reaction force R,
and the elastic force c)x + c2 (x + 80 ) of the spring. (Here, cl' c2 and 80 are,
respectively, the total stiffness of plane springs, the stiffness of the helical spring,
and the preliminary elongation of the helical spring.) Thus, the differential equa-
tion of motion takes the form
mi+c)x+c2 (x+80 ) = R,
or
(2)
where c2 80 = Ro .
The condition of continuous contact implies that the reaction force R is al-
ways directed towards the same side (upward). Then, the ultimate angular velocity
m. can be found from the condition that the minimal value of R over a vibration
period if only once becomes equal to zero.
Substituting Eq. (1) into Eq. (2), we find
(p~ - ( 2) sin ml + Ro I( me) = R, (3)
where Po = ~(c) + c2 ) I m is the eigenfrequency of the measuring rod.

We now consider possible cases.
In the pre-resonance operating mode (P~ > ( 2 ), the minimal reaction is at-
tained at the moments of time corresponding to sin m/) = -1 . In this case,
- p~ + m2 + Ro I(me) > 0, (4)

or
Ro /(me) > m~ -ai. (5)

In order to have the pennanent contact, it is necessary for condition (5) to be
valid within the entire range of possible values of OJ (0 < OJ < Po ), If this con-
dition is valid for OJ = 0 , then it will be valid for all OJ *- 0 .
As OJ = 0, Ro > (CI + c2 )e .
If condition (5) is invalid, then violation of the contact is possible, i.e., R = 0 .
From condition (4), we obtain the following expression for the ultimate angular
velocity OJ:
2
One more case of contact violation can occur as OJ > Po2 (post-resonance
mode). In this case, R = 0 , at the time moment corresponding to OJt2 = 1. Thus,
we determine another value of the ultimate velocity, using the fonnula
m;. = p~ + Ro /(me).
The dynamic reaction at OJ = 0.lOJ2* can be found from Eq. (2):
R = Ro + [( cl + c2) - m( 0 .1OJ2.)2]e sin OJ;.tl . (6)
Furthennore, we calculate the parameters entering into Eqs. (3) and (5). The
stiffness of the helical spring is

Finally, the measuring force of the device detennined according to fonnula (6)
is
R =5±1.3 N.
53 Eliminating the hinge (i.e., replacing it by the reaction force N) and applying
an unknown moment M to the end cross section (Fig. 229), we obtain, in accor-
dance with the force method, three equations
y = 811 (-my) + 812 M + 813 N;
(). =821 (-my) + 822 M + 823 N;
YI = 813 (-my) + 832 M + 833 N.
Fig. 229.
Here, 6ij are the compliance coefficients; 8 = 80 cos OJ!; Y\ is the vertical dis-
placement of the cross section associated with the hinge, and y\ = 0 .

U sing two last equations of the set obtained, we express M and N . After
certain transformations, we arrive at the following equation with respect to y :
y + ay = b80 cos OJ!,
where a and b are coefficients depending on 6ij'
For stable vibrations, we have
Y = a-OJ
bf)o cos OJ!.
2
After y has been determined, we find M and N. The bending moment in

the restraint is (see Fig. 229)
Mb = JI+2IN +M.
The maximal normal stress in the restraint is
O"max = Mb /Wx '
where w.. is the resistance moment in the cross section X .
54 The problem should be solved in a similar manner as Problem 53. In the cross
section whose displacement is given, we apply an unknown force P. Further-
more, introducing again the second unknown force N , we eliminate the support.
Then, using the force method, we arrive at the set of three equations:
y = 6\\ (-my) + 612 N +613~' (1)
0= 6 21 (-my) + 622 N + 623~' (2)
YI = 631 (-my) + 632 N +633~' (3)
Here, ~ is an unknown force applied at the point k and Yk = Yo cos OJ! .

Based on Eqs. (2) and (3), we now find the forces ~ and N. The latter is
determined from the expression
=
N (02\033-03\023)mji+023Yocoswt
(4)
022033 -023032
Excluding N and ~ from Eq. (1), we obtain the following expression to de-
termine y:
(5)
where P and b are coefficients depending on 8ij.

Determining y from Eq. (5), we can find the force N.
55 The displacement by a certain distance of rod 1 causes the rotation of the lever
through a certain angle ({J = x/I. In this case, when the motion occurs upward,
the force in spring 2 and spring 5, respectively, increases and decreases. Thus, the
inertial force - mX , the spring resistance force 2c\ (x + X 0 ), the support reac-
tion force R , and the force caused by lever 3 and equal to
[J({J + C2«({J - ({Jo)] /10 act on rod 1.
In this case, the differential equation of motion of rod 1 has the form:
(m+J / 12)x+(c\ -c2 / 12)x+(c\xO +c2({Jo /1)= Ro.
Using denotations m + J / 12 = M, c\ = c 2 / f = C, and
c\X O+ C2({Jo / 1 = Po, we can represent the differential equation of motion of the
measuring rod as
MX + CX + Po = R. (1)
The condition of permanent contact consists in the fact that at the point B 1, the
reaction force does not change its sign, i.e., R ~ 0 .
Since the surface profile is described by the equation X = a sin 2Jrz/A , the
equation of motion of the measuring rod has the form
X = a sin OJI, (2)
where
mt = 2Jrz/A = (2Jr/A)vt. (3)
Substituting Eq. (2) into Eq. (1) and taking into account the condition R ~ 0,
we obtain
(p~ - m2)asin OJI + Po / M ~ 0, (4)
where Po = .JC / M is the eigenfrequency of the device lever.
Two cases of violating the contact are possible (see the solution to Problem
52). For the pre-resonance regime (P~ > 0/), violating the contact is possible in
the case of
0)2 = P~ - Po / aM.
If the system parameters are chosen in such a way that the condition
D c P+c _ 2 ~f
£0
l 2
> -Z2- a - Po 1V1a is fulfilled, then violating the contact will not occur.
For operations in the post-resonance region (0/ > P~), we can find the value
of OJ for which violating contact is possible from the condition of vanishing rela-
tionship (4) (in the case of sin 0Jt1 = 1). Then,
OJ2 = p~ + Fa / aM.
With allowance for relationship (3), we find that the ultimate velocity v. is de-
termined by the formula
v. = (A / 2Jr)~ p~ + Fa / (aM).

57 The differential equation for stimulated vibrations of the trimmer has the form
J qJ + [c + (ci + C2 )/ 2 ]tp = c21xO sin 0Jt.
In the case of a resonance,
OJ; = [c + (ci + c2 )/ 2 ]/ J = p~ + (ci + c2 )f / J,
whence it follows
58 The dynamic coefficient is expressed by the formula

kdyn = a / Xo = 1/ 1-
1 0)2 / p21.
For schematic diagrams shown in Fig. 50a and 50b, we have, respectively,
kdyn = 1 / 11- m0)2 / cJ,
and
59 The dynamic coefficient is given by the formula

k dyn = 1/ 11- J0)2 / cl.
Since k dyn = 1/15, and the motor operates in the post-resonance region
(p~ > 0)2), the stiffness of the system must be equal to

c = J oi = 20 . 105 2 116 = 1.3 8 . 104 N m.

We assume the segment 1\ to be absolutely rigid, and the fixation of supports
to the base to be a restraint. After uncovering the static uncertainty and calculating
the angular displacement of the motor support, we find that the stiffness of one
support is
(1)
Here, the moment of inertia for the cross sectional area is
Jx = bh 3 112 = b4 I c, and the Young modulus for steel is E = 200 GPa.
Since C = 2c\, with allowance for 0), we find b = 0.654 cm. We take
b = 6.5 mm, hence h = 2b = 13 mm.
In this case, after certain calculations, we obtain C = 2c\ = 1.34 . 104 N m,
k dyn = 1115.1.
As the calculations show, the maximal bending moment in the pillar is
Mmax = O.3M. Therefore, the alternating moment
Mmax = O.3M = 0.3( Mo + kdyn M\ sin at).
acts in the dangerous cross section.
The average value of the maximal stress in the cross section is
am =0.3Mo In: =275 MPa.
The stress amplitude is
aa = kdyn ·O.3M\ In: = 110 MPa.
Thus, the coefficient of the reserve of endurance is

a

60 Since the perturbing force has a periodic character, the amplitude of stimulated
vibrations of the system is
a = a st 111- oi I p~l.
The amplitude of the support reaction force is proportional to the amplitude of
the elastic-coupling deformation
Rdyn = ca = RsJll-m2 I p~l.
Hence, it follows that the dynamic coefficient is
kdyn = Rdyn I Rst = 1I1l-m2 I p~l.
Thus, for schematic diagrams presented in Figs. 52a--52c, we have, respec-
tively,
kdyn 1111- mm I cl;

kdyn = 1111- mm I cl;

kdyn = 1/11- 9mai /20cl·

61 We denote the shifts of the upper spring end and of the load as XI and X 2 , re-
spectively. Therefore, the force acting on the load in the case of motion of the up-
per end of the spring is F = C(XI - x 2 ).
The differential equation of motion of the load has the form
mX 2 + aX 2 - C(XI - x2 ) = 0,
or
x2 + 2nX2 + P~X2 = (CXO / m)sin ax.
The amplitude of the load vibration with respect to the equilibrium position
(assuming (j) = Po) is
x 20 = ~ -Jc / m = liV ~7J.~0 = 1.615 cm.

In the resonance regime, the phase shift equals 1[ / 2, therefore, the entire
elongation of the spring is
xmax = x 20 + x st = x 20 + Q/ C = 1.615 + 1.26 = 2.875 cm,
where x st is the spring elongation under the static force Q = mg .
The maximal force stretching the spring is
Pmax = cXmax 7200.2.875.10-2 = 207 N.

The safety factor with respect to the yield strength is

Finally, the safety factor for the fatigue strength is
nf = 1/ ('a / '_I + 'm / 'B) = 1/ Cio14 + IJ~05) = 2.22.
62 We denote the vertical displacement of the rod and the load as XI and x 2 ' re-
F = a(xi - X 2 ) being
spectively. In this case, the load is subject to the force
transferred through the damper, to the inertial force mx 2 ' and to the resistance
force 2cx 2 of the springs.
In accordance with the d'Alembert principle, the differential equation of mo-
tion can be represented in the form
mX2 + cX2 = a(xi - x2 )·
Taking into account that the displacement of the rod depends on the angular
velocity (J) of the crank
XI = rsinat,
we obtain
mX2 + 00 2 + 2ex2 = aor cos at,
or
where
2n = a / m , P~ = 2e / m.
The solution to this equation has the form
x 2 = 2nar sine m t+ ~) / ~r-(p-~-_-m-2)-+-4-n-2-m-2;
tg ~ = 2nm / (p~ - ( 2).
The maximal stress in the spring arises in the case of its maximal compression,
i.e., in the case of sine m t+ ~) = 1. We note that x 2mzx = r since by the condi-
tion, m = Po.
The force, corresponding to this compression is
~ =er.
The total force in the spring is
p = ~ + mg / 2 = cr + mg / 2.
Thus, the maximal stress is
Tmax = 8(er + mg / 2)D(Jld3).

P = ~ p~ - n2 (where p~ = e / n, n = a / 2m); ml =0;
m2 = ~2(p~ - 2n 2).
64 The differential equation of motion for the system being analyzed has the form
X + 2ni + p~x = Fo sinxt, (1)
where X is the horizontal displacement of the system center of mass. This dis-
placement is counted off from the position of static equilibrium;
2n=a/(~ +m2); p~ =e/(ml +~); Fo =mom2e/(~ +m2)·
We now write out the solution to Eq. (1) for the case of stable motion:
X = Fo sin(wt- c)/ ~(p~ _( 2)2 + 4n 2ai , (2)
where C is the vibration phase.
Furthermore, we calculate the work of friction forces (i.e., the dissipated en-
ergy) over a vibration period T = 27r / m :

Using the condition d Af / d a = 0, we now find the value a. of the coeffi-

cient of viscous friction for which the dissipated energy becomes maximal. Differ-
entiating Eq. (3) with respect to a and taking into account that
n = a I [2("", + m2 )] , we arrive at the expression
(p~ - 0/)2 - a.o/ 1("", + m2)2 = 0,
whence it follows
(4)
Substituting relationship (4) into Eq. (3), we can calculate the maximum value of
the energy dissipated over a vibration period:
~ax = 1#02 ("", +~) I [2(p~ - 0/)]1. (5)
As follows from Eq. (3), in the resonance regime (Po = OJ), the work of the
friction forces is inversely proportional to the coefficient a of viscous friction.
65 Using the solution to Problem 64, we find from Eq. (2) of this solution the am-
plitude of stable system vibrations:
Xo = mo0J 2e / [("'" + ~)~(p~ - OJ2)2 + 4n 2OJ2].

In this case, the force acting on the springs is F; = ex .
We now find the value of the angular velocity for which the amplitude of the
force acting on the springs equals the amplitude of the perturbing force: .

In Fig. 230, the plot demonstrating the amplitude ofthe force F;o = exo as a
function of the perturbing-force frequency OJ is presented. As immediately follows
from the plot, F;o < mo0J 2[ and F;o > lrloOJ2[ in the case of OJ ~ OJ1 and
OJ ~ OJ1 , respectively.
66 The differential equation of motion for mass m has the form

y + 2ny + Poy = (Po / m)sinat, (1)
where
Fig. 230.
2n = a / m ; p~ = c / m; c = 3EJx / 12.
We now write out the solution to Eq. (1) in the case of the steady-state vibra-
tion regime
Y = Asin(ox + ffJ),
where A = Yst / ~(1- ai / p~)2 + (2n(1) / p~)2 ; Yst = Po / c;
tan ffJ = 2n(1) /(p~ - (1)2) .
The total flexure of the beam is Y + Yo . Here, Yo is the flexure caused by the
gravity force mg of the motor.
Thus, the flexure of the beam and therefore its inner stresses vary according to
an asymmetric cycle.
We now calculate the stresses in the restraint:
O'm = mgl/ u;: = 6mgl/ (bh 2 ) = (6·50 ·10 ·1) / (125 ·10--6) = 24 MPa.
The stresses are proportional to the flexures and thus can be calculated by the

Using formula (2), we obtain n 62.64 = S-I, whence it follows

67 The dynamic coefficient is

k dyn = 11~r-(1-_-(1)-2-I-p-~-)2-+-(-2-n-(1)-I-p-~)-2 .
After numerical data have been substituted, we arrive at kdyn = 0.316 .
68 The differential equation of motion for the load of mass m with respect to the
base has the form
y + 2ny + p~y = Yo (1) 2(sin ax + 200 sin lOax),
where y is the displacement of the load with respect to thew base, 2n = aim;

Taking into account that p~ = 0.01(1)2 and n = 0.02(1) , we finally obtain
that the relative displacement of the load, which is recorded by the device, is de-
termined according to the expression
y = Yo sin(ax - a,) + 2Yo(lOax - a 2 )·
69 The differential equation of small free vibrations of the mirror has the form
JijJ + alp + crp = M(i),
or
ip+ 2nip+ p~rp = M(i)1 J,
where M( i) = Fma is the perturbing moment.
We now calculate the rigidity of the system. To this aim, we apply to the mir-
ror the unit moment M, = F;a = 1 (Fig.231a).

Fig. 231.
In this case, the mirror rotates through the angle rpl with respect to the vertical
axis. Assuming h << II (Fig.231 b), we find
F; = 2QP= 2QfAa / II·
Therefore,
MI = F;a = 2Qrpl a 2 / II = Crpl·
Hence, the rigidity of the system is
c = 2Qa 2 / II.
The moment of inertia of the mirror with respect to its rotation axis is
J = ms b 2 /12
Thus, we find the frequency of free vibrations of the mirror:
P = ~24Qa2 / (m 3/ I b2) - (a / 2J)2.
70 The differential equation of motion for the vibrator frame is of the form
JiP + aip + crp = Mo. (1)

We now represent Eq.(1) as
iP + 2nip + P~rp = M, (2)
where M = Mo / J. Since the perturbing moment Mo is applied suddenly,

i.e., satisfies the condition
0 as t < 0,
Mo ={ Mo as t > 0,
the initial condition being of the form rp = 0 and ip = 0 as t = 0 , we can write
out the solution to Eq. (2) as

In the presence of damping (n = OJ Po), we obtain

Figure 232 shows the plots of the ratio rp / rpst as a function of PI t for two

71 We denote the absolute angular velocity of the flywheel as rif. Then, the iner-
tial torque acting on the flywheel is J rif
(J is the polar moment of inertia of the
flywheel).
The spring resistance force is determined by the difference between the rota-
tion angles of the flywheel and of the pulley and is c( '1/ - rp), where rp is the
pulley rotation angle.
Thus, the differential equation of motion for the flywheel has the form
Ji;J+a(,p-ip) + ('I/-rp) = O.
We now use the denotation V = '1/ - rp . Then, we have
Jii+av = cv = -Jep.
Taking into account that ip = W = Wo + WI cos kt , we arrive at
ii + 2nv + P~V = kWI sin kt,

where 2n = a / J and p~ =C / J .
The solution to the last equation is of the form
V = A sin(kt - fJ),
where A = kWI / ~ (p~ - k 2 )2 + 4n 2k 2 •
The phase shift attains

fJ =arctg[2nk /(p~ -e)],

The frequency of natural vibrations (in the absence of damping) and the resis-

n = a 12J = 0.73/(2.3.68.10-2) = 9.92
Thus, we find 8 =1 and the phase shift fJ ~ 53°30'.
72 The differential equation of motion of the vibrator case can be written out as

where
M =m+2(mo +ml ).
The perturbing force P(t) , we find by the projecting onto the vertical axis the
inertial forces for the unbalanced masses:

Thus, the amplitude of forced vibrations of the vibrator is

The plot of the ratio Xo 1xst as a function of (1) 1ko (i.e., amplitude-fre-
quency characteristic of the device) is shown in Fig. 233 (curve 1).
74 The differential equation of motion for cylinder 4 (see Fig. 65) can be written
out as

The static deviation from the cylindrical shape is
xst =BI p~ = 14/(3.5.104 ) =4·10-4 m =O.4mm.
The vibration frequency of the cylinder as a function of the vibration ampli-
tude has the form
Xo 1xst = [(1- (1)2 1p~)2 + (2n(1) 1p~ i r1l2.
In the case under consideration, 2n 1Po = 75.J3.5 .104 = 0.4 Therefore,
Xo 1xst = [(1- (1)2 1p~)2 + (0.4(1) 1Po)2 l/2 r
This function is plotted in Fig. 233 (curve 2). In the same figure, the tolerance zo-
ne for the dynamic measurement error (shaded band) is shown. This zone can be
described by the equation
Xo 1X st =1± 0.1.
The intersection point of the boundary of the tolerance zone with the ampli-
tude--frequency characteristic yields the maximum admissible value for the angu-
lar velocity of the piece being tested: lUmax :-; P~ 13 = 62.5 S·I.
75 In order to solve the problem, we employ the Lagrange equation of the second
kind. The kinetic and potential energies of the system, as well as the Rayleigh dis-
sipative function are, respectively,
T=mv 2 12+J/l 12,
TI = c(lcp - h)2 12,
R =a(lip-h)2 12.
We now introduce these expressions into the Lagrange equation
d (aT)
dt aqJ - aT -_ - an
aqJ aR .
aqJ - arp
As a result, we have
Jip + al(lip - h) + cl(lcp - h) = 0,

We can represent the solution to Eq. (1) in the form
cp = A sin(27rvt 1I) - r) + B cos(27rvt 1I) - r) + D.
It is evident that D = ho 1I , so that we have the following set of equations
determining constants A and B:
[p~ - (27rv 11))2]A - 2n(27rv 1I))B = b;
2n(27rv 1I))A + [p~ - (27rv 11))2]B = O.
Thus, we find
A_ b[p6-(27Z"vll))2] •
- [p6-(27Z"vll))2f+4n2(27Z"VII))2 ,
B =_ 2nb(27Z"VII))

The solution to equation of motion (1) can be represented as
ffJ = ffJo sin(21Z"Vt / 10 + fi) + ho / I,

where
=.JA 2+B2 = b
ffJo J[P5-(21lV/ll)2f+4n2(2trv/ll)2 .
The maximum value of the vibration amplitude as a function of the trailer ve-
locity of motion, we find from the condition
dffJo /d V = 0,
or
2(2n/ 1)2 h;[p~ -2p~oi +W4 +4n 2w2]+
4[(2n/ 1)2 h;w 2+ p~(ho / 1)2](p~ _w 2+ 2n2) = 0, (2)
where W = 21Z'v / II .
After certain transformations of expression (2), we arrive at the relationship
0
n w + PoW -Po = .
2 4 4 2 6
In the absence of damping (n = 0 ), we obtain from the last equation that the
maximum amplitude of forced vibrations is attained in the case of a resonance at
W = Po or v. = poll /21Z'.
In the presence of damping in the system,
W = ~r_-'-p-~-/-2-n-2-±-~rp=~=/4=n=4=+=p=~=/=n=2.
Since only the real-valued root has the physical sense, we obtain as a final re-
sult
76 By analogy with Eq. (5) of the solution to Problem 47, we represent the differ-
ential equation of the disk motion in the form
lip + cip + signipc· ffJ = Mo sin(wt + r),
where C=b22/(bl1b21-bl;),and c· =jJRc\.
Assuming that at a certain moment of time t = 0 in the steady-state vibration
mode the deviation of the system from the eqUilibrium position becomes maximal,
we represent the differential equation in the first segment of motion in the form
fiJI + P;ffJI =jJsin(wt+r), (1)
where P; = (c-c*)/ J and jJ = Mo / J.

The solution to Eq. (1) can be written out as
ffJI = CI cos Pit + C2 sin Pit +[jJ /(p: -(2)]sin(wt + r),
where ris the initial phase of the perturbing moment.
The equation of motion in the second segment of motion (see solution to

Problem 47) is the following:
ip2 + P; flJ2 = ,u sin(wI + r), (2)
where P; = (c + c.) / J .
We now write out the solution to Eq. (2):
flJ2 = C3cos pi + C4 sin pi + [,u /(p; - ( 2)] sin(wl + r), (3)
In order to determine integration constants, we make use of the following con-
ditions
(i) in the case of the system motion in the fIrst segment, fIJI =0 and fIJI = flJlmax
as 1= 0, and
(ii) in the case of the system motion in the second segment, flJ2 =0 and
flJ2 = flJlmax as I = II .
By the periodicity condition, we fInd at the end of the second segment flJ2 =0
=
and flJ2 -flJlmax as I 12 ff / W . = =
Thus, when solving the problem, we deal with the following set of six equa-
tions with six unknown quantities Cp C2 , C3 , C4 , II and r:
PIC2 + [,uw/(p; - ( 2)]cosr = 0;
flJlmax = CI cos Pili + C2 sin Pltl + [,u /(p; - ( 2)] sin(wtl + r);
-PICI sinp/I + PIC2 cos Pili + [,uw/(p; -(2)]COS(W/I + r) =
=-P2 C3sinp2/, + P2C4cos P2t, + [,uw/(p; _(2)]COS(wt, + r);
C3cos P2tl + C4 sin P2tl + [,uw /(p; - ( 2)] sin(W/l + r) = 0;
CI + [,u/(p; -(2)]sinr = -{C3cos P2ff / w + C4 sinp2ff / w+
+[,u/(p; -(2)]sin(ff+ r)};
- P2C3 sin(p2ff / w) + P2C4 COS(P2ff / w) +[,uw /(p; _(2)]COS(ff +
+r)=O.
77 The exact solution to the problem on steady-state vibrations in the presence of
Coulomb friction in the system turns out to be rather complicated (see Problem
76). The simplifIcation is attained under the assumption that even in the presence
of Coulomb friction, the motion corresponding to the harmonic law
fIJ = flJo sin( OX + r)
does occur in the system.
In this case, the energy dissipated in one cycle can be determined by the for-
mula
v =4pNRfIlo /2.
In this expression, we took into account that the friction force pN is directly
proportional to the deviation angle 9' of the system since N = c,fIl (see the solu-
tion to Problem 47).
In the presence of viscous friction in the system, the dissipated energy is
V, = a1£OXP~
(see the solution to Problem 64).
Equating the energies U and UJ ' we find the coefficient of equivalent viscous
friction:
a = 2JlC, / (1lm).
The amplitude of stimulated vibrations of the system possessing viscous resis-
tance equivalent to Coulomb friction is
fIlo= fils! / ~r-(1-_-m-2-/-p-~-)2:-+-(-2-n-m-/-p--:-~--:-)2 ,
where fils! = Mo / c is the static deviation of the system under the moment Mo
and c is the angular rigidity of the system. Furthermore,
2n = a / J = 2JlC, / (1lmJ); p~ = c / J.
The phase shift angle yis determined from the relationship
tanr = 2nm/(p~ _m 2).
78 The differential equation of motion of the system can be written out as
JijJ + aifJ + cfIl + sign rix·ofll = Mo + ~ sin ai. (1)

The equation of an equivalent linear system has the form
JijJ + a·ifJ + cfIl = Mo + M, sinai, (2)
where a· is the coefficient of equivalent viscous resistance. This coefficient can

be determined from the condition of the equality of the supplied and dissipated
energies in one cycle.
Assuming the steady-state motion to be harmonic, i.e.,
fIl = fIlo + tA sine ai + r),
where fIlo = Mo / C, and using Eq. (1), we can calculate the energy dissipated in
the system.
The energy dissipated over a period in the viscous-friction damper is 1£afll,m,
whereas the energy dissipated in the Coulomb friction damper can be determined
from the dependence of the moment of the Coulomb friction force
M f = pNR = JlC,RfIl on the disk twist angle 9'. As can be seen from the ex-
pression for MJ' the dissipative work of the friction forces over a half-period in the
case of an asymmetric cycle of deviations is
[(Mfmax - M fmin )/ 2]2tA = 2JlC,RfIlofll,.
Equating the energies dissipated over a period in the given and equivalent
systems, we arrive at
whence it follows
a* = a + (4J1CJR / "OJ )ffJo / fA.
The amplitude of forced vibrations in the presence of viscous friction can be
calculated according to the formula
ffJJ = M J / c~r-(1-_-OJ-2-/-P-;)-2-+-(-2-n-OJ-/-p-;-)2,
where 2n = a * / J ; P; = c / J .
The phase shift angle y, we determine in the same manner as in the case of vis-
cous friction:
tanr = 2nOJ/(p; _OJ2).
79 The differential equation of motion of mass m is written out as
X + p;x = P(t) / m. (1)
The perturbing force P(t) can be expanded into the Fourier series
pet) = P"o [.2._±(cos2wt

The solution to Eq. (1) is a sum of the solutions for each of the terms in series
,,00
(2), i.e.,
_ 2Po 4Po cos2nwt (
X -1iC - 1[m LoIn=l (2n-l)(2n+l)(P5-4n2m2)"
3
)
The resonance takes place in the case of Po = 2nOJ, i.e., at
OJ = Po /2; Po /4; Po /6;
The Fourier method is approximate since it fails to allow in the calculations for
an infinite number of terms of series (2). In addition, this series is rather cumber-
some, which hampers summing a large number of terms in expression (3) for at-
taining a higher accuracy.
We now consider another (exact) method of solving Eq. (1) that describes
small vibrations under the action of an arbitrary periodic force P( t) .
In the case of steady-state vibrations, the periodicity condition must be ful-
filled:
x(t) = x(t + T), x(t) = x(t + T). (4)
The general solution to Eq. (1) at arbitrary initial conditions is of the form
x = xo cos pt+ ;~ sin Pot + m10 1P(T)sinpo(t-T)d T. (5)
Conditions (4) must be valid at any arbitrary moment of time including the
moment t = 0 . Therefore, we obtain two equations
Xo = Xo cos PoT + ;~ sin PoT + m10 , P(t)sinpo(T - r)d r,

(6)
Xo = -xoPo sin PoT +xo cos PoT + ~ , P(t) cos poeT -r)d r,
The set of equations (6) makes it possible to determine the unknown values of
Xo and xo:
q(I-cos PoT)+bz (sin PoT)/ Po
Xo = 2(I-cospoT) ,
(7)
. _ bz(l-cosPoTHVosinpoT
Xo - 2(I-cosPoT) ,
where
bl = m10 'P(t)sinpo(T-r)dr,
(7)
b2 = ~, P(t)cosPo(T-r)dr,
Substituting the obtained values of Xo and Xo into general solution (5) makes
it possible to determine in a close form (i.e., without expanding the force p(t)
into the Fourier series) the law of motion for mass m within the interval
0:::;; t :::;; T, i.e., within the intervals
nT:::;; t :::;; (n + l)T.
This algorithm of solution was proposed by H. Duffing. As follows from ex-
pressions (7), they tend to infinity (resonance) as PoT = 2mr, or (because of
T = 7r / OJ, see Fig. 67) Po = 2nOJ. In other words, we have obtained the same
resonance as in the case 0 the expansion of the force P( t) into the Fourier series.
The Duffing method can be used in solving equations describing small vibra-
tions, which take into account viscous-resistance forces, and in the case of systems
with a finite number of degrees of freedom for which other methods (operational
calculus, expanding into the Fourier series) are of minor usefulness.
80 The solution to the problem is similar to that of Problem 79. In the case being
analyzed, the perturbing force can be represented in the form of the Fourier series

The total displacement of the load is
Xo =x+mg/ c.
The algorithm of the solution, which is based on the Duffing method, com-
pletely coincides with that used in the solution to Problem 79. However, while
determining qand b2 , it is necessary to take into account features of the periodic
force P{t) (see Fig. 68b), which vanishes within the interval T / 2~t ~ T.

81 After the action of the impulse of force and in accordance with the theorem of
angular momentum, the velocity of mass m is varies (the displacement Yo of mass
m for the time 8t is zero):

After the impulse of force has acted, free vibrations are described by the equa-
tion
ji + P~Y = 0 (p~ = c / m; c = 3EJx / /3). (2)
The solution to Eq. (2) with allowance for initial conditions Yo = 0,

Yo = -',:; as t = 0 is the following:

82 The answer to the problem is

As follows from the solution obtained, in the case of a sudden application of

the constant force P, the flexure y is twice as large as in the case of a static force.
As tk = :0 '
y(tk) = 2P / mp~ = 2yo.
Here, Yo is the static flexure.
83 The force p(t) can be represented in the form (see Fig. 71a)
p(t) = PoH(t) - PoH(t - tl ), (1)

where H is the Heaviside function.
For zero initial conditions, the solution to the equation of stimulated vibrations
of mass m is of the form

After integration, we arrive at

In the case that the force pet) varies with time as shown in Fig. 71b, p(t)
can be represented as a sum
P(t) = Po [H(t) - H(t - tl)] + 2Po[H(t - tl ) - H(t - t2)] (4)
For the given case of loading, we find after necessary transformations the fol-
lowing solution:

84 For initial conditions Yo = Yo = 0 [see the solution to Problem 83, Eq. (2)],
we obtain
y= m10 l P(r)sinpo(t-r)dr.
In the case under study with pet) = at, we have
y = a(t - sin Pot / Po) / (mp~); (1)
y = a(I- cos Pot) / (mp~). (2)

85 We introduce the impulse of force J p into the equation describing vibrations

of mass m:
2 _ 1 J S:(t)
x+

Pox- m pU , (1)
where 8(t) is the Dirac delta-function.

The general solution to Eq. (1) is

+~ 1
(2)
x(t) = -XoPo sin Pot +xo cos Pot J p8(T) cos po(t-T)d T;
where Xo and Xo are values of x(t) and x(t) atthe moment of time t = O. By
virtue of properties of the delta-function, the integrals entering into solution (2)
are
b1(t) = ~;o 18 (T)sinpo(t-T)dT= ~;osinpoH(t),
b2 (t) ="',:; 18(T) cos po(t - T)d T ="',:; cos PotH(t),
(3)
where H is the Heaviside function.

In the case of steady-state vibrations, the conditions
x(t + T) = x(t), x(t + t) = x(t),
must be fulfilled, or
x(T) = x(O) = xo'

(4)
x(T) = x(O) = xo'
With allowance for expressions (3) and (4), we obtain from general solution
(2) the set of two equations with respect to Xo and xo:
bl (T) = (1- cos PoT)xo - ;~ sin poT,

(5)
b2 (T) = xoPo sin PoT + xo(1- cos poT).
Xo and xo:
From the set of equations (5), we find
X - JpsinPoT . . __ Jp

As a result, we arrive at the functions x(t) and x(t) in the case of steady-state

n = 0,1, 2, ... :

86 We write out the equation for vibrations of mass m within the time interval [0,

b2(/) = ~ cos poIHI(/) - ~ cos Po(/-f)H2(1 -f)·
Thus, we can find bl (T) and b2 (T) :
bl(T) = ~;o (sinpoT-sinpof),
b2(T) = ~ (cos PoT -cos Po f)·

Then, we can find Xo and Xo [see the solution to Problem 79, Eq. (7)], and,

87 The equation describing small vibrations of mass m can be written out as

In order to determine the steady-state periodic motion of mass m, we employ

the Duffing method (see the solutions to Problems 79 and 80).
The general solution to Eq. (1) containing an arbitrary right-hand side has the
form
x=xoCOSPo/+ ;~ sin Pol + m10 !p(/)sinpo(/-r)dr, (2)
where Xo and Xo are unknown quantities taken at the initial moment of time

where mo = ~ p~ - n2 • In order to provide the periodic nature of the solution
with a period T, we need to choose initial values of Yo and Yo using periodicity

conditions:
Yo = yeT); Yo = yeT). (3)
Furthermore, we differentiate expression (2) and find yet) . From condition

(3), we determine the desired values of Yo and yo:

Yo - mwo(e 2nT -2enT coswoT+l) '
(4)

Yo - m(e2nT -2enT coswoT +1)
Substituting Eqs. (4) into formula (2), we arrive at the solution related to the
interval 0 ~ t ~ T , which is also valid for consequent intervals.
1.4 Critical States and Vibration Stability
89 We consider an elementary volume of liquid bounded by the tube cross sec-

tions with the coordinates x and X + dx (Fig. 234). The mass of liquid inside this
volume is dm, = pFodx . (Here, m, = pFo ·l is the mass of the unit column of
liquid.)
1.4 Critical States and Vibration Stability 163
The volume under consideration is subject to the gravity force dm,g, to the
tangential component of the inertial force dm/px, and to the Coriolis force
2dm, voifJ . The moment of the forces with respect to the point of suspension is
dM = -(gcp + ipx + 2voifJ)x d m,
or
M = ! dM = -(m/gcpI2+m,ipI3 13 +vom/ifJ).
We now write out the moments of inertial forces for the tube mass and of the
gravity force:
M, = -(moip/2 13 + mogcpl 12).
In accordance with the d' Alembert principle,
M+M2 =0,
or
.. 3m,vo· 3 g - 0
cp+ "'o+rflJ.l Cp+'2ycp - .
Thus, we find that the eigenfrequency of the tube filled with moving liquid is
P = ~3g 1(2/) - {3m,vo 1[2(mo + m,/)]}2.
The motion is aperiodic if v> v., where
v. = [(mo + m,/) I m, ]~2g 1(3/).
Fig. 234.
90 The deformed state of the vibratory system is illustrated in Fig. 235. Bending
the tube is accompanied by the appearance in liquid of centrifugal inertial forces.
Their magnitude per unit tube length is
q=m,v2 / Pc'
The differential equation of the arched tube axis is of the form
dd:2 (EJxY") = q, (1)
where Jx = Jrd 3£5 / 8 is the axial moment of inertia for the tube cross section.
Since in the chosen coordinate system zOy (see Fig. 235) the second derivative
of the flexure is negative, we have
q = m,v2 / Pc = -m,v 2 d2 y /d 2 z.
With allowance for this expression, Eq. (1) takes the form
EJxY" +m,viy" =0. (2)

We represent the solution to Eq. (2) as
y = CFosk + C 2sink + C;z + C4 ,
where It = ~r-m..-V2-/-E-'J-x •
We determine the integration constants from the boundary conditions:
(i) y =0 as z =0;
(ii) MB =EJxY" =0 asz=O;
(iii) y' = 0 as Z =I;
(iv) Q = -EJxy'" = -myo /2 as z =I;
The last condition represents the expression for the cutting force Q acting in the
rod cross section in the case of z = l.

Fig. 235.
Based on these boundary conditions, we can write out the equation for the
arched tube axis as
y = [(myo)(2A?EJJ](sink / cosk - k).
It follows from this expression that for z = I, the equation of motion of the load
has the form
Yo + 2EJxJ.} cosAl[m(sinAl + Al cosAl}] = o.
The vibration frequency of the load depends on the fluid flow velocity in the
tube:
P = ~2EJxJ.} cosAl / [m(sinAl + Al cosAl)] .
(3)
If the fluid flow velocity v =0, then expression (3) yields the well-known for-
mula for the determination of the eigenfrequency
P = ~6EJx /(mI3).
The vibration frequency is zero for cosAl = 0, i.e., for Al = 7r / 2. Hence, the
critical fluid flow velocity is
v. = J,.,~rEJ-x-/-~-=-(-1C-/2-1)'~EJ=x=/~=.
91 We consider an elementary volume of fluid flowing in a radial orifice at a ve-
locity Vo (Fig. 236). In the process of small vibrations, the volume is subject
to both the additional inertial force dmlrip of the translational motion and the
Coriolis force 2dmlvoip . The moment of these forces with respect to the rotation
axis is
dM = -dmlr 2rp - 2dmlVo ipr ,
where ~ is the fluid mass per unit length of the orifice channel, ip is the devia-
tion of the disk angular velocity from the stationary value OJ.
M = -n e
The total moment of inertia of fluid is
I
(r2¢+ 2voipr)ml dr = -nml[¢(r; -r)/3 +voip(r22 -'12)].
In addition, as the disk vibrates, it is subject to both the moment of iner-
tial forces J ip and the moment of elastic forces crp from the shaft.
With allowance for all the forces acting on the disk, the differential equation
describing its small vibrations is written out as
.. + nvoml (ri- r?)/3 • + c =0
rp J+nml(ri-r?)/3 rp J+nml(ri-r?)/3 rp .
This makes it possible to find the natural frequency of disk small vibrations
with due regard to the fluid flow, as well as the velocity v. (from the condition
PI =0):

92 The solution to this problem differs from that to Problem 91 only by determi-
nation of the cutting force. In the presence of the spring, we may consider
Q = -EJxY'" = -(myo +cYo)/ 2,
Therefore, the expression for the critical velocity of the fluid flow has the form
tan vI = (vlc-2EJxv2)/ c.
93 We consider the deviated state of the disk (Fig. 237a). In this position, the disk
is subject to the elastic restoring force
F: = -c~,
where c is the bending rigidity of the shaft ( c = 6EJx / 13 ).
Since 1; = r - e , the elastic restoring force is
F: = -c(r - e).
In this case, the differential equation of motion can be written out in the vector
form as
a
Fig. 237.
mr + c(r - e) = o. (1)
where m is the disk mass.
We now project Eq. (1) onto the immobile coordinate axes x and y. As a result,
we obtain
mX + cx = cecosax,}
(2)
my+cy = cesinax.
In the case of the steady-state motion, the solution to the set of equations (2) is
X = [ep~ / (p~ - (i)2)]cosax; (3)
y = [ep~ / (p~ - (i)2)]sinax,
where Po = c / .J m.
It follows from Eqs. (3) that the vibration amplitude unboundedly increases as
(i). -+ Po =.Jc / m.
In the case < (i). , the deviation of the disk center of mass from the rotation
(i)
axis is 1j + e. When (i) > (i). , the displacement of the disk center of mass occurs
towards the rotation center. In other words, the disk center of mass resides at the
distance 1j - e from the rotation axis (see Fig. 237b).
As follows from expressions (3), in the case of rather high rotation velocities
( (i) -+ 00), self-centering of the disk occurs. (i.e., the displacement r tends to
zero).
In the case under consideration, the disk mass is
m = trf)2 hp / 4 = 0.625 kg.
The shaft bending rigidity is
c = 6EJx / [3 = 2.35 kN/m.
The eigenfrequency is
Po =.Jc / m= 61.4 s-'.
The deviation of the mass from the equilibrium position [see Eq. (3)] is
1) = r - e = ~X2 + l- e = eoi / (p~ - oi),

or

J1Po2 =1.6 rom.
We now determine the force that deflects the rod by 1.6 rom:
P=Co=c1) =3.77 N.
Using the formula (j = Ms / w" (where Ms = PI/ 2, and
w" = trd3 /32), we have as a final result, (j = 38.4 MPa.

95 In the deflected position (Fig. 238), the rotating shaft is subject to the inertial
distributed load with the intensity
q = fYlooiy,
where fYlo is the mass of the shaft unit length, OJ is the shaft angular velocity, and
y is the shaft flexure.
We set up the differential equation of the arched shaft axis in the coordinate
system rotating with the shaft:
EJxY IV = q = moOJ 2 y. (1)
The corresponding characteristic equation is of the form
.t -e = (A? -e)(A? + e)= o.

Fig. 238.
We now write out the solution to Eq. (1) as

y = C1 sin kz + C2 cos kz + C3 sh kz + C4 ch kz,
In the case of the pivoted support of the shaft ends, the boundary conditions are
y = y" = 0 as z =0,
y = y" = 0 as z =l.
In order to determine the integration constants, we make use of the set of four
uniform equations:
C; sinkl + C2 coskl + C3 shkl + C4 chkl = 0;
C2 +C4 =0;
- eC2 + k2 C4 = 0;
e
- C1k 2sinkl- C2 cosk! + C3k2 shkl + C4 k 2chkl = O.
Equating to zero the determinant of this set, we find
(sink!) x (sinhkl) = O.
The least nonzero root of this equation is kl = ;r, i.e., the critical angular ve-
locity of the shaft rotation is
OJ. = (;r2 / 12)~EJx /1rlo'
96 In the case of bending the shaft, the equation of the elastic line in the coordi-
nate system rotating with the shaft has the form
y = C1 sinkz + C2 coskz + C3 shkz + C4 chkz,
where k4 = mo0J 2 / EJx •
For the cantilever restraint (see Fig. 8la), we deal with the following boundary
conditions
y = y' = 0 as z = 0,
y'" = y" = 0 as z =I.
This allows us to find the equation of the form
(coskl) x (coshkl) = --1. (l )
which determines the critical angular velocity.
The solution to Eq. (1) can be simply obtained using the plot. To do this, it is
sufficient to find the coordinates (kl)i' (i = 1, 2, ... ) for the intersection of the
left-hand side of Eq. (1) with the straight line" = -1 (Fig. 239).
The least root of this equation is (kl)i ~ 1.875, and the critical angular veloc-
ity is
OJ. = (3.52/ 12 )~ EJx / 1rlo .

This allows us to obtain the following equation for the determination of the critical

The least nonzero root of this equation is (kl)] = 4.9, and the critical value of the
angular velocity is
97 In the state of the tube, which is deviated from the straightforward equilibrium
position, each unit length of the tube is subject to two inertial forces. The first one
(mo + ~ )w 2Y is caused by the rotation of the tube containing liquid. The sec-
ond force, ~ v2P = -~ v2 y" , is the centrifugal inertial force of moving liquid.
This force is associated with curving the shaft (see Fig. 240). (The sign minus is
determined by the sign of curvature.)
The differential equation of the arched shaft axis can be represented in the form
E'Jxy IV = ( mo + ~ )OJ2 Y - mo v 2y" , (1)
or
where
k]2 = ~ v2 / (EJ x ), k; = (mo + ~ )w 2 / (EJJ.
We can write out the characteristic equation corresponding to Eq. (1) as
11
Fig. 240.
whence it follows
~,2 = ±i~(kJ2 + ~ kJ4 + 4ki) / 2;

~,4 = ±~(~k: +4ki -kJ2)/ 2.
The solution to Eq. (1), we obtain in the form
y = CJ sin~z+C2 COS~Z+C3 Sh~Z+C4 ChA4Z.
The integration constants are determined according to the conditions
y = y" = 0 as z =0,
y = y" = 0 as Z =l.
The critical angular velocity can be found from the equation
(sinA) x (sinhA}) (2)
The left-hand side of Eq. (2) vanishes in the cases of ~ = be, ~ = 0, i.e.,
=
at OJ 0 . For k = 1, i.e., ~I = 1[ , we obtain the value of the critical angular
velocity
OJ* = ~ 1[4EJx / [l4(mo + ~)]_1[2~ v2 / W(mo + ~)],
98 In accordance with the d' Alembert principle, the equation of motion of lever 2
can be obtained as a sum of the moments (with respect to the point A) of all forces
acting on the lever:
Jip+ miplJ2 /2 + clJ2rp/2 -mJoil~rp =O.
Here, J ift is the moment of the inertial force of the vibrating lever; m/#12 is
the moment of the rod inertial force; cll2CfJ2 is the moment of the spring compres-
sion force, ~oil;CfJ is the moment of an additional inertial centrifugal force
arising as a result of the deviation of the vibrating lever through the angle rp, and
OJ=~RI/ R.
Thus, the rod eigenfrequency is

In the case of oi »OJ: = cll2 / (2~/;), small vibrations of masses ml

become unstable so that usual operations of the senSor of the velocity regulator are
violated. Thereby, the critical value of the angular velocity (i). is the upper limit for
current angular velocities of the regulator.
99 In the case of small vibrations of the loads ~, their horizontal displacements

I!i. r are related to the vertical shift I!i. y of the sleeve of mass 111z by the expres-
sion
l!i.y = [/1/ (/1 + 12)](tga + tgfi)l!i.r = kl!i.r.
In order to derive the differential equation for the loads, we make use of
the Lagrange equation of the second kind:
-lLo~ =
dq oq
oT
oq

The kinetic and potential energies of the loads can be written out as

- 2 + 2k2 + 2 '
II = 111zg(yo + l!i.y) + c(Yo + l!i.y)2 /2.,

where Yo is the spring compression corresponding to the steady-state operation
mode of the regulator.
Taking in Eq. (1) the displacement l!i.y as the generalized coordinate q, we ar-
rive at the equation
(m2 + 2k; )l!i.y+(c- 2i~2 )l!i.y + m2g + CYo - 2nyw2 = O.Since in the
steady-state regime, I!i. y = I!i.Y= 0, we have
111zg + cYo - 2~roi / k = O.
Hence, we can reduce the differential equation for small vibrations of the regulator
to the form
I!i.Y + p 2l!i.y = 0,
where p is the system eigenfrequency,
p=~(ec-2m.ol)/(k2~ +2m.). (2)

It follows from expression (2) that there exists a certain critical angular velocity
of the regulator,
OJ. = ec /(2m.),
for which the eigenfrequency vanishes.

101 In the case of small vibrations of the rod with respect to the position of dy-
namic equilibrium, the rod is subject to the moment Jip of the inertial force, to
the gravity force Q= mg , and to the centrifugal inertial force directed along the
perpendicular to the rotation axis and equal to O.5m1OJ 2 sin(a + tp). (Here, the
angle a determines the position of dynamic eqUilibrium, whereas tp is the small
angular deviation from this position.)
We derive the equation of small rod vibrations, in the coordinate system rotat-
ing at angular velocity OJ. The rod can rotate with respect to the axis passing
through the hinge. For the position of the rod, which is shown in Fig. 85, this axis
is normal to the picture plane and passes through the point O.
Equating to zero the sum of the moments of all the forces acting on the rod and
of the rod moment of inertia with respect to the axis, we arrive at the equation
-Jip+ ~l OJ2 sin(a+ tp)fl cos(a +tp)-Qtsin(a+tp) = O.
Taking into account that J o = ml 2 /3 and assuming the angle tp to be small,
we obtain
iP+<tfcosa _OJ 2 cos2a)tp+tfsina- ~2 sin2a = O. (1)
Two last terms entering into this equation correspond to the position of dy-
namic equilibrium for which tp =iP =
0 , i.e., the sum of these terms is zero:
1.5sina / I-O.5OJ 2 sin 2a = O.
Hence, the eqUilibrium position turns out to be possible for two values of the an-
gle a:
(2)
As a l = 0, it immediately follows from Eq. (1) that vibrations are stable if

OJ2 < 1.5g II.
The critical angular velocity for which the equilibrium state is unstable corre-
sponds to OJ. = ~1.5 g / I.
Substituting a2 into Eq. (1), we obtain that in the case of
oi > 3g /(2/).
any arbitrary angle of deviation corresponds to the stable equilibrium state.
102
103 In the case of small vibrations, the kinetic energy of the load is
T = 0.5m.:e + 0.5ma/ x 2 ,
where x corresponds to the displacement of the load, which is measured from the
rotation axis.
The potential energy of the spring deformation is
II =O.5c[(Oo + X)2 + (00 - X)2] =c(O; + x 2).
We now write out the Lagrangian function L = T - II and substitute it into
the Lagrange equation. Thus, we arrive at the differential equation
x+(2c-moi)x/ m =O.
Hence, the eigenfrequency and the critical angular velocity are, respectively,
p =.J2c / m - oi and (j). = .J2c / m.
104 The differential equation of relative motion of mass m has the form
x+(c-m{j)2)x/ m = 0,
where x is the deviation of the mass m from the position of dynamic equilibrium.
The vibration frequency and critical angular velocity are, respectively,
p = .Jc / m _{j)2 and (j). =.Jc / m.
105 In the process of small vibrations, the plate is subject to the lifting force Y, to
the moment Me = ca produced by the elastic rod, and to the inertial force.
Since the plate surface area is s = b x h, we can write out the lifting force as
y = ;rpv2bha,
where p is the air density and C is the angular stiffness of the system
[c =GJp /(2/) = ;rd4 G /(64/)].
The moment of the plate inertial forces is J Ii , where
J = (bh 2 PI / 3)(h + 3d / 2) is the moment of inertia of the plate with respect to
the rotation axis (PI is the density of the plate material).
Using the d' Alembert principle, we set up the differential equation of motion
as a sum of moments of all the forces with respect to the rotation axis:
Jii+ca-Y(3h/3+d 12) = 0,
or
ii+[cl l-trpv2bhh. 1(2J)]a = 0,
where
h. =3hI4+dI2.
Hence, the natural frequency of plate vibrations is
p = ~c I J -trpv2bhh. 1(2J).
It is easy to see that there exists a certain critical velocity
v. = ~2c I(trpbhh.),
for which the vibration frequency is zero. In this case, the system loses its stability
(divergence of the plate occurs).
106 The differential equation describing small free vibrations of the lever can be
written out as
J ip + crp = PaRrp,
or
ip+(c- PaR)rp = O.
The frequency of natural vibrations and the critical value of the force are, re-
spectively,
p = ~(c- PaR) I J.
and
P. =cl R.
107 The attraction force acting on mass m and developed by the magnet is
F =k<D~ I a~.
In the case that mass m is shifted in the horizontal direction by a small distance
x (x« al ) (see Fig. 241), a force arises equal to the difference between the at-
traction forces in each of the positions:
M' = F; - F; = k<D~ I(al - X)2 - k<D~ I(al + X)2 ~ 4k<D~x I a:,
where
F; =k<D~/(al-x)2; F; =k<D~/(al +X)2.
Using the d' Alembert principle, we find the differential equation of motion of
massm:
mX + 21'ox I 1 = 4k<D~x I a~ ,
or
x+[21'o I(ml) -4k<D~ I(ma:)]x = O.
Fig. 241.
In the case of small vibrations, the natural frequency of mass m in the magnetic
field is
p = ~21'0 /(ml) -4k<l>~ /(mai).
A peculiar feature of the obtained expression for the natural frequency is its
dependence on the magnetic-flux intensity <1>0' This dependence is equivalent to
an effect of the so-called negative elasticity.
Each value of the tension 1'0,
we can put in correspondence to the critical
value of the magnetomotive force
<1>. = ~1'oai /(2kl),

for which the frequency p vanishes. In this case, the equilibrium state of mass m is
unstable, i.e., its vibrations are impossible.
108
p=~bh3E/(4/3m)-4k<l>~/(mai); <1>. =~bh3Eai /(16kI 3).
109 Based on the force method, we write out the differential equation of motion
for point mass m as
y = 0Il (-my) + 0'2Ro·
Here, 0" =13 /48EJ is the beam flexure caused by a unit force at the fixation
point of mass m; 0'2 is the beam flexure at the fixation point of mass m and
caused by a unit force applied to the beam at a distance z from the origin of the
1.5 Parametric Vibrations 177
coordinate system, or (which is the same in accordance with the reciprocity theo-
rem for displacements) the beam flexure caused by a unit force applied at a dis-
tance z from the fixation point of mass m.
We take the following approximate expression for 012 :
012 =0ll sin ~z •
Since z = vt , we finally obtain the following differential equation describing
vibrations of mass m:
y + p~y = (Ro / m)sin:rvt II. (1)
For uniform initial conditions, yeO) = yeO) =0, the solution to Eq. (1) is of
the form
y ~
m
[ 110 '] ( sin ")" - f sin
P6-(~) Po
Pot). (2)
Analysis of the denominator in expression (2) shows that a certain critical ve-
locity of motion of the force Ro
can exist, which is found from the condition
p~ - (:rv. /1)2 = 0,
whence it follows
v. = Ipo /:r = (l / :r)~48EJ /(l3 m).
However, for this value of the velocity v, there is an uncertainty in Eq. (2).
After this uncertainty has been revealed (as :rv / 1 ~ Po), we arrive at the ex-
pression
y = -[Ro /(2mpo) ](t cos Pot - sin Pot / Po)'
As far as the time of motion of the force Ro along the beam is finite, the dis-
placement of mass m is also finite, i.e., there exists no critical velocity.
1.5 Parametric Vibrations
110 In order to derive the differential equation of motion, we make use of the
d' Alembert method. To do this, we project all the forces acting on the load onto
the immobile xqy axes (Fig. 242). Thus, we arrive at the equations
mX = -N sin cp, (1)

Fig. 242.
my = N cos rp - mg. (2)

Excluding from Eq. (1) tension force N, we obtain
m(x cosrp + ysin rp) = -mgsin rp. (3)
We now express the coordinates of the load position in terms of both the angle
Yl of the point of
rp of the rod deflection from the vertical and the displacement
suspension:
Y = I-I cos rp + yp X = I sin rp. (4)
Thus, we have in this case,
y = I(rpsinrp+i/ cosrp)- Y ow2 sin ax,
(5)
x = I(rpcosrp - ip2 sin rp).
Substituting expressions (5) into Eq. (3) and assuming angle rp to be small, i.e.,
cos rp ~ 1 , sin rp ~ rp , and rp2 ~ 0, we obtain
rp + [g /1- (YoW2 / I)sin ax]rp = O. (6)
Equation (6) is usually represented in the form of the Mathieu equation
d 2 rp /d r2 + (a + 2q cos 2r)rp = 0,
where a = 4 g / (0/ I); 2q = 4Yo / I ; and r = ax / 2 .

Depending on particular system parameters, small vibrations of the pendulum
can be either stable or unstable. Stable vibrations correspond to the position of the
representation point in the unshaded region of the Ince--Strutt diagram (see Ap-
pendix 1). If the parameters a and q are such that this point lies within the shaded
region, then the vibrations tum out to be unstable.
In the case under consideration, a = 0.784 and q = 0.04, which implies the po-
sition of the representation point in the stability region of the Ince--Strutt diagram
(see Appendix 1).
111 The solution to the problem is similar to the case of Problem 110. However,
in contrast to this case, the coefficient a in the Mathieu equation is negative. Thus,
the pendulum motion is stable for OJ ~ 396 S-I (provided that the condition
lal < q2 /2 is valid).
112
lUmin ~ 125 S-I.
113 The differential equation describing small free vibrations of the plate is simi-
lar to that obtained while solving Problem 110.
We now ignore the drag resistance since it is rather weak in the case of small
deflections of the plate. We also consider the flow velocity in the above solution
to vary with time and neglect the terms containing v~. Thus, we arrive at the dif-
ferential equation of motion in the form
d 2 cp /d r2 + (a + 2qcos2r)cp = 0,
where
a-

For the parameters indicated while formulating the problem, and in the case of
a = 1.53, the coefficients of the Mathieu equation are
2q =--0.132; Iql =0.066 for VI =5 mls;
2q =--0.264; Iql =0.132 for VI = 10 mls.
It follows from the Ince-Strutt diagram (see Appendix 1) that in the case of
the flow velocity that varies within the indicated limits, the vibrations are stable.
114 In order to derive the differential equation of motion, we can employ the ap-
proximate formula for determining rod flexures in the case of transverse-
longitudinal bending:
y = Yo / (1- P / Po),
where Yo = -my / c is the flexure of a rod under the action of an only trans-
verse load. In the case under study, this is the inertial force of the load of mass m.
(Here, c is the bending stiffness of the rod and P 0= 1[2 EJx /4/2 is the critical
value of the compressing force.)
Thus, the differential equation of motion can be represented in the form
y + (1- P / Po) ~ = 0,
or
y + (a + 2qcos2r)y = 0,
where
a =....L( 6EJ
(j)2 mil
x 24Po ).
1[2Im'

(j)2 1[2 m '
On substituting numerical values, we find a = 6.63 and Iql = 0.195. In the

Ince-Strott diagram (see Appendix 1), the representation point having these co-
ordinates corresponds to stable motion.
115 In the case under investigation, the beam stiffness corresponding to trans-
versely bending is c = 24EJx / 13 , and the critical force is ~ = ;r2 EJx / 12.
The coefficients of the Mathieu equation are determined by the following expres-
sions:
a=(I- Po)~.
P mOJ2' e
2q=-~~
Pe m(j)2 •
On substituting numerical data, we find a =4.2 and Iql = 0.02. In the Ince-
Strott diagram, the representation point having these coordinates lies in the
unstable region (see Appendix 1).
116 The differential equation of motion for mass m can be written out in the form
y + 2(To + 1; sin at)y / (ml) = 0,
or
d2 y/d 2 r+(a+2qcos2r)y=0,
where
a - 4 2To - 4 2·20 -512'

2q -- 2 56'
(j)2 mr - 2542 0.25·0.2

r=at/2.
The motion of mass m is stable because the representation point with the coor-
dinates a =5.12 and Iql = 1.28 lies within the unshaded region of the Ince-Strott
diagram (see Appendix 1).
117 The differential equation of motion for the load, we can write out as
y = -t\Imy,
where t\I = 13 / (3EJx ) = (10 -II sin at)2 / (3EJ x )'
We restrict our analysis by only the linear part in the expansion of the function
1 / t\ I in series with respect to powers of II' Thus, we arrive at the differential
equation
Y.. + 3EJ

(1 + 3 10II'sm lOt ) Y = 0.

where
a_...±...3EJx •

2 _...±...9EJx i.
q- m2 mlij 10'
lOt =1'+21".
On substituting numerical values of system parameters into the expressions for
=
the coefficients a and 2q, we find a 2.5 and q 0.75.=
The solution to the Mathieu equation can be either stable or unstable depend-
ing on the relation between the coefficients a and q. In the case under discussion,
the representation point lies within the unshaded region of the Ince-Strutt dia-
gram (see Appendix 1). In other words, for the parameters chosen, the motion of
the load is stable.
118 At an arbitrary moment of time, the inflection point of the line shifts from the
middle point by the distance YI' and the line is deflected from the equilibrium po-
sition through the angle rp (Fig. 243).
Using the theorem for variation of the angular momentum, we can write out
the differential equation of motion in the form
Jt [m(lo + Yl)2 cp] = -mg(lo + Yl )rp, (1)
whence it follows

In the case of application of the d' Alembert method, we analyze the balance of
forces acting on the load at an arbitrary moment of time. These forces are the line
tension force N, the gravity force mg, and the inertial forces mX and my .
Furthermore, we project the forces acting on the load onto the vertical and
horizontal axes. As a result, we have
my = N cos rp - mg, (3)
mX = -N sin rp. (4)

The coordinates x and y of the load can be expressed in terms of the angle rp
and the length 10:
X = (10 + YI) sin rp; Y = (10 + Yl )(1- cos rp).
On substituting these relationships into Eqs. (3) and (4) and excluding the ten-
sion force, we also arrive at Eq. (2).
Fig. 243.
119 The differential equation of motion of the pendulum has the form
rn + KI""m = 0,
ih + 1. dl
.." I dt""
where I = 10 + II sin oX .
120 The variation in the position of mass m causes a change in the moment of in-
ertia of the system. In this case, for deriving the equation of motion, it is conven-
ient to use the theorem for variation of angular momentum:
(1)
where J o is the total moment of inertia of the system with respect to the point of
suspension 0; rp is the angular deviation of the system from the eqUilibrium posi-
tion; MOi are the moments with respect to the point of suspension 0 for all exter-
nal forces acting on the system.
The equation of motion for mass m with respect to the frame has the form
x = Xo sin OJI.
The moment of inertia of the system is
J o = J I + m(lo + Xo sin OJI)2. (2)
In the case of the deflection of the system through angle rp, the total moment of
gravity forces with respect to the point of suspension 0 is
,LMOi = -mlg/ICP-mg(lo +xo sinOJt)cp. (3)
On substituting expressions (2) and (3) into Eq. (1), we arrive at the differen-
tial equation of motion of the system in the form
[J1 + m(lo +xo sin wt)2]qj + [2mxow(l0 +xo sinwt) cos wt]ifJ +
+g[ml/l + m(lo +xo sinwt)]qJ = O.
121 The solution is similar to that of Problem 120. The differential equation of the
pendulum motion can be written out as
.. 2XO coswt. g 0
qJ + lo+xosinwt WqJ + lo+xosinwt qJ = ,
where rp is the angle of deviation of the pendulum from the vertical.
122 In the case of deviation of the tub by the distance x from the equilibrium posi-
tion and rotation of the pulley through angle rp, the variation in the rope length is
(Fig. 244)
M = RqJ + ~Ig1 + x 2 -/01'

or, in the case of small vibrations ( X << 10l ),
III = RqJ.
Hence, the change in the rope tension is
IlT = MEF 110 = REFqJI 10,
Then, the differential equation of motion for the tub can be rewritten as
mX = -(1'0 + IlT) sin a,
where a is the angle of deviation of the rope from the vertical in the course of tub
vibrations.
For small vibrations, we may write out
sin a =a =xl 10l' (1)

With allowance for expression (1), we can represent the differential equation
of motion in the form
x+(a+2qcos2r)x = o. (2)
We now numerically calculate the parameters entering into expression (2):
a = 41'0 l(mw2/ol) = 4.10 2 /(500.10 2 ·0.7) = 0.114;
2q = 4REFqJo l(mw2Iolol) = 4·0.1· 200.109 .10 4 ·0.1/(500x
X 102 ·1·0.7) = 2.28; q = 1.14.
As follows from the Ince-Strott diagram, (see Appendix 1), the small vibra-
tion of the tub are unstable.
Fig. 244.
123 The differential equation of motion of mass m in a magnetic field has the
same form as the equation in the solution to Problem 108:
m.X + (c - k<l>2 / a;)x = 0, (1)
where c = 3EJx I [3 and = <1>0 + <1» sin wI.

With due regard to small amplitude of the magnetomotive force <1», Eq. (1)
takes the following form:

Plotting the point with the coordinates a =1.03, Iql =0.02 in the Ince-
Strutt diagram, we find that this point lies in the unshaded region, and therefore,
the motion of mass m is stable.
124 In the course of motion of the bus, its distance a I from the conductor varies as
a) =ao +x.
The force acting on the bus in the process of vibration is

Introducing the notation mt = 1r / 2 + 2, , we obtain after certain transforma-

tions the coefficients of the Mathieu equation
_ 4 c-PoR 2 _ 4 llR
a- m2-J-' q-- m2 T .
On calculating numerical values of the coefficients a =6.0 and q =0.4, we may
conclude that the motion is stable.
126 At an arbitrary moment of time, the position of the load is determined by the
coordinate
Xo = Xoo +vt.
In this case, the differential equation describing the vibrations is of the form (see
the solution to Problem 28)
.. +To I =0
Y m (l-xoo-vt)(Xoo+vt) Y .
127 Let at an arbitrary moment of time, the point of the pendulum suspension be
shifted from the equilibrium position by a certain distance Yo, and the pendulum be
deflected through angle rp from the vertical (Fig. 245). Then, the differential equa-
tion of motion for mass m has the form
miI =-Nsin 'f"
m· (1)
myI =-Ncosrp+mg. (2)

We now substitute into these equations the expressions for the coordinates
XI = SI + II sin rp;
(3)
YI = Yst + Yo +/1 cosrp,
Fig. 245.
(l 1SIS2)To(yo + Yst) = mg - m[y -II (q;sintp+ qi costp)]'

and exclude the force N. As a result, we find
11q; - Yo sin tp = -g sin tp,
Assuming also the angle rp to be small, we arrive at the equation
(4)
As follows from the equilibrium condition for the node of the pendulum point
of suspension,
N costp = T(yo + Yst ) 1SI + To (Yo + Yst)1 S2'
Expressing N in terms of y
on the basis of relationship (2) with due regard to
formula (3), we arrive at the equation
Next, taking into account that IToYst l(sls2) = mg , and ignoring the nonlin-
ear terms in the right-hand side of the equation (because of the smallness of angle
rp), we can rewrite the last expression in the form
Yo = -ToYoll(msls2),
or
(5)
where p2 =Tol l(msls2 ).

Solving Eq. (5) with allowance for initial conditions (Yo = Yoo and Yo = 0
as t = 0), we obtain the equation of motion for the pendulum point of suspension:
Yo = Yoo cos pt.
We now substitute this expression into Eq. (4):

t
iP + I (g + Yop2 cos pt)rp = O.
Performing the replacement pt = 2r, we arrive at the Mathieu equation
d 2 rp/d r2 + (a + 2q cos 2r)rp = 0,
where a =4q /(p2/1) and 2q =4yoo / II'
Furthermore, we make use of numerical values of related parameters and find
a = 0.0687 and q = 0.665, which correspond to stable motion.
In the second case under consideration, unboundedly growing angular vibra-
tions, of course, cannot exist because the system is conservative.
Here, we imply that the unstable motion corresponds to the instability of verti-
cal vibrations (the tendency for vibrations to grow with angle rp). For the exact
determination of angle rp, the vibrations should be analyzed with nonlinear terms
taken into account.
where p2 = 1'01/(ms l s2).

Solving Eq. (5) with allowance for initial conditions (Yo = Yoo and Yo = 0
as t = 0), we obtain the equation of motion for the pendulum point of suspension:
Yo = Yoo cos pt.
We now substitute this expression into Eq. (4):
iP+t(g+
I
yop2 cospt)rp = O.
Performing the replacement pt = 2r, we arrive at the Mathieu equation
d 2 rp/d 1'2 + (a+ 2qcos21')rp = 0,
where a = 4q /(p2/1) and 2q = 4yoo / II'
Furthermore, we make use of numerical values of related parameters and find
a = 0.0687 and q = 0.665, which correspond to stable motion.
In the second case under consideration, unboundedly growing angular vibra-
tions, of course, cannot exist because the system is conservative. Here, we imply
that the unstable motion corresponds to the instability of vertical vibrations (the
tendency for vibrations to grow with angle rp). For the exact determination of an-
gle rp, the vibrations should be analyzed with nonlinear terms taken into account.
128 The solution is analogous to that obtained for Problem 127. In the first case
( a = 0.0981, and q = 0.5), the pendulum motion is unstable, whereas in the
second case ( a = 0.0981 , and q = 0.07 ), the motion is stable.

132 There are four time intervals in a vibration period: two intervals in which one
of the springs contacts the wall and two intervals of free motion of the load.
When the load is being subjected to the elastic force of one spring, its motion is
described by the equation
1.6 Nonlinear Vibrations 189
x =(V 0/Po)sinPot, (1)
where Po2 = elm and Vo is the impact velocity of the body (spring). Therefore, the
contact duration is t, = nlpo' the duration of free motion of the body is t2 = 2L11vo'
and the vibration period is
T =2(t\ +t2)=2(1Z'/Po +2L1/v 0) . (2)
We now express the period in terms of the amplitude Xo of free vibrations. The
smallest length of the compressed spring is evidently equal to Xo - ,1. According to
Eq. (1), Xo -,1 = v/Po or
Vo=Po(Xo-L1) . (3)
Substituting Eq. (3) into Eq. (2), we find
T =(2/Po)[1Z'+2L1/(xo-L1)] .
Finally, the frequency of free vibration is
P =21Z'/T=1Z'Po/[1Z'+2L1/(x o-L1)] .
133
134 When the load is being subjected to the elastic force of the left spring, its mo-
tion is described by the equation
x\+p\x\=
.. 2 0, (1)
where p,2 = elm. Under the initial condition X1 (0) = --V 10 at the equilibrium
point x,(O) =0, the solution to Eq. (1) has the form
X1=-(VIO/Pl)Sin(P1t) .
The contact duration t, is equal to the half-period: t, =nip,. Similarly, the duration
of contact with the right spring is t2 = nlp2' The period and frequency of steady-
state vibrations are, respectively,
T =t\ +t2 = ~P\ + P2)/(P\P2) ,
P =21Z'/T =2~C\C2/ml(..fc: +.fc:).
135 The stiffness e of a system (spring) is defined as the ratio e =Pix, where P is a
force applied to the spring and x is the spring contraction due to the force. The
frequency of small free vibrations of a load with mass m is p =(elm)'l2. For the ra-
tio elm to be constant, either the load P must be constant or the spring characteris-
tic must be nonlinear. In the latter case, the spring stiffness is defined as e =dPldx.
It follows from the constant frequency condition that
P 2 =(g Ip)( dP Idx )=const

Therefore,
or
P = exp[ (p 2/g )(X +C I)]

The constant C} is found from the condition P =Po at x =xo:
CI =(g/p2)logPo -x o .
Finally, the contraction of the shock absorber as a function of the force applied to
it takes the form
136 The kinetic and potential energies of the system are
T =mi 2/2, II=c(00+ot/2.

Here, c~ = To and c8 = T} are an initial tension and a tension caused by vibrations,
respectively. The line elongation 8 is related to the vertical displacement x by the
equation 8 =2/(1 - cosa) ~ ill, where a ~ xII. Therefore, the strain energy of the
system is
II=C(00+x 2/lf/2.
Substituting these expressions into the Lagrange equation, we arrive at the equa-
tioll of motion
i' +(2cOo/m )[ xl / +x 3/(001 2)] = 0 .
In order to find the ftrst integral of this differential equation, we take into ac-
count that

The solution satisfying the initial conditions has the form

This expression can be presented as a curve on the phase plane.
137 The tension in the springs is (see Fig. 246)
Fig. 246.

where x is the horizontal displacement of the load, Finding the horizontal compo-
nent of the force acting on the load, we arrive at the equation of motion:

where k =c/(m102), We introduce the notation dx/dt =y, then

The integration of Eq, (3) under the initial conditions x(O) Xo and dx(O)/dt 0 =
yields l =k(X04 - X4)/2, Solving this equation with regard to the definition
y =dx/dt, we find
where & =xlxo is a dimensionless displacement. Because of the symmetry of the

problem, the vibration period is
T =-±- {2J de =-±- {2K(vv'2)

Here, K(k) is the complete elliptic integral of the first kind, which is a limiting
case of the elliptic integral of the first kind: K(k) = F(7d2,k), where

In the case under consideration, rp =n/2 and a =n14. According to the tables of
the elliptic integrals, F(n12, 1I21n) = 1.8541 (Janke E.et al., 1960). Therefore, the
period and the vibration frequency are, respectively,
T =1.8541(4/0/xo)~m/c , p =O.85(xo/lo)~c/m .
138 According to the Rayleigh method, the maximum kinetic energy of a conser-
vative system must be equal to its maximum potential energy: Tmax = il.n.., where

Therefore,

Taking into account the relation between the frequency of free vibrations and the
initial displacement (see Problem 137), we find
p =(0.85/lo)~V2c/m
139 The differential equation of motion is similar to that derived in Problem 137:
mi" +2Tox /10 +CX 3/1~ =0 .
Introducing the dimensionless variable & =xlxo' we rewrite this equation in the
form

Substituting the relation "& = de / de into Eq. (1), we find the solution satisfy-
ing the initial conditions:
e2=[2cj{mlo)][{To/c)(I-e2)+(x;/4/0)(I-e4)]. (2)
Equation (2) describes the motion of the mass m on the phase plane (Fig. 247).
140 Consider the motion of the load with x > 0 and dx/dt < 0 (see Fig. 246). Since
the Coulomb friction force is always directed oppositely to the velocity of motion,
the differential equation of vibrations has the form (see Problem 139)
mi" +2Tox /lo+cX 3/{ml;)=F
or

where & x/xo is the dimensionless coordinate. With regard to the relation

Substituting the numerical values, we have

We now consider the motion in the first half-period when &0=1 and &< O. Ac-
cording to Eq. (2), & =- 17.3 lis at the point & =O. At the moment of time t =T/2
when &=0, the displacement is &f':! - 0.63.
Equation (2) with &0 f':! - 0.63 can also be used to consider the motion in the
second half-period, but in this case &> 0 and the sign of the friction force should
be changed. As a result, we find that &f':! 6.8 lis at the point &= 0 and &f':! 0.18 at
t = T when e
= 0 (Fig. 248). The subsequent trajectory on the phase plane can be
found in much the same way as described above. The body stops moving when the
elastic force F at an end position becomes less than (or equal to) the friction force.
As follows from Eq. (1), this takes place already at the point & f':! 0.18 (e
=0).

hence,
C 2 =5p2/(4pn- 3P/4 .
The fundamental frequency of free vibrations is found from the second equation of
(2) with C l = 0:
PI2=P 2 +(X o/aot[5p2/(4pn- 3P/4] . (6)

Equation (6) should be solved for P1 2 • Taking into account that P1 2
=l + CzJ1\
we can take P1 2 =p2 in the right hand side of the equation. Then,
PI2= pg -P+(x o/aoY {5p2j[4(pg -P)]-3P/4} ,

where P02 =elm.

148 The solution to this problem differs in sign of P from that found in Prob-
lem 147.
149 The equation of motion coincides with Eq. (1) in Problem 147, with
p, =xrm./ao serving as a small parameter. The solution satisfying the initial condi-
tions x(O) =0 and dx(O)/dt =Vo is given by Xo =(v,jp)sin(p,t). Therefore,
xOmax =v,jp" i.e., p, =v/arP,. The fundamental frequency of free vibrations of the
bus is found in much the same way as it is done in Problem 147:

Pl2 = p2 +(vo/aop )2[5P2/{5p2)_3P/4] ,
where
150 We use the following approximation to the equation of motion:

iP+grp/l-grp3/(61)=O. (1)
Taking p =g/(6l) as a small parameter, we obtain the fundamental frequency ac-

curate to the first order in p:
Pl2 =(g /1){1-rp~/8) . (2)
Using the linearization method, we rewrite Eq. (1) in the form
iP+erp=O,
where the constant c is to be found from the minimum condition for the weighted
root-mean-square deviation of the nonlinear characteristics from a linear one, i.e.,
d

IDf( grp grp3 J]2
ll-l -61- erp rp drp=O.
Performing the calculations, we find
- e = Pl2 = p;{1-5rp~/42) , (3)
where Po2=gll. The difference of expressions (2) and (3) is
L1 = p;{ 1-5rp~/42)- p;{1-rp~/8) = O.006p;rp~ .
151 The differential equation of motion of the lever has the form (see Prob-
lem 106)
iP+ P2rp+ f1rp3 =0 ,
where p2 =(c - FR)/J and p =FR/(6l). The fundamental frequency found by the
method of small parameter is given by the expression
Pl2 =P2 +(3/4){mo/Pl)2(FR/6J) . (1)
According to the Galerkin method,

2tr/ p,
f( ijJl + P 2tpl + ,utpi)tpldt =0 ,

o
where f/J, = f/Josin(Pl + a) and f/Jo = (j)JPI" Performing the integration, we find
PI2 =P 2 +(3/4)(01 0 / Plt(FR/6J) .

Therefore, frequencies (1) and (2) found by the two methods are identical.
152 The differential equation of small free vibrations of the lever has the form
JijJ+(mglo+c )tp+sign(~)k~2 =0 . (1)
Here, the function sign( ~) implies that the sign of the moment Mf =k~2
coincides with that of the angular velocity ~. Equation (1) can be written out as
ijJ+p2tp+asign(~)~2 =0,
where l =(mglo + c)/J and a =kll.
In order to find the vibration frequency as a function of the initial deflection
rp(0), we solve this equation under the initial conditions rp(0) = a and dqidt = =0.
In the first half-period, sign( ~) =- 1 and the equation of motion takes the
form
ijJ+ P 2tp_a~2 = 0 . (2)
We seek for the solution to Eq. (2) in the form
22 2 2C
tp=tpo+atpl+atpl+···'p =PI+ la+ C2a2 +.... (3)
Substituting (3) into Eq. (2) and neglecting the terms of higher powers of a than
the second one, we obtain

ijJ2 + PI2tp2 = 2~1~0 -C Itpl -C 2tpO .

With regard to the initial conditions, we find from the first equation
tpo = a cos(Pl) . (5)
Substituting this solution into the second equation of (4) and setting C, =0 (for the
secular terms to be zero), we find
tpl =a2/2-2a2cos(Plt)j3-a2cos2(Pl)j6 . (6)
In turn, the substitution of Eqs. (5) and (6) into the right hand side of the third
equation of (4) yields
(P2 + PI2rp2 =-c 2aCOsPIt -(2/3)a 3PI2(sinpl +sin2Pl t ) .

This equation can be written out in the form
9'1, +PI'(" =( p~a3 -C,a)cOSPl +p~a3 (2cos2Plt-cos 3Pl) .

For the secular term to be zero, the factor multiplying COS(Plt) must be zero,
i.e., C2 = p 12a2/3. The frequency offree vibrations is found from Eq. (3):
PI=p/~1+a2a2/3 .
Taking (jJ = (jJo + a(jJp we find the angular amplitude at t = nlpl:
rp(Il/PI)=al =-(a-4a 2a/3) .
Similarly, the equation of motion in the second half period has the form
(p+p 2rp+ai{i=0.
Solving this equation, we find the frequency of free vibrations and the angular
amplitude at the end of the second half-period:
p2=p/~1+a2a\2/3, a2=aJ-4a~/3.
The motion in the subsequent half-periods is found in much the same way.
153 The equation of motion of the mass m has the form
mi' +CX +CIX 3 =Posinmt . (1)
In accordance with the Galerkin method, we substitute
X ~XI =xosinmt
into Eq. (1) and require that the integral
27rlm
I = f( mi' l +CX I +C IX 13 - Po sinmt ~ Jdt

be equal to zero. Carrying out the integration, we find
(3/4)c l x g+(c -m(2)x 0 -Po =0 . (2)
It is convenient to solve Eq. (2) graphically. The point of intersection of the plots
171 =(3/4)C 1xo3 and 172 =Po - (c - moi)xo is Xo ~ 2.27 cm (Fig. 250).
154 The roots of the equation
(3/4)c\x g+(c -m(2)x 0 -Po =0 (1)
depend on the frequency of the perturbing force (see Eq. (2) in Problem 153).
Two real roots of this equation will be equal to each other if D =0, where
D = l + /, q = - 2Pr/3cp P = 4(c - mal)/(9c), Therefore,

For the numerical values given in Problem 153, we find m. = 16.6 1/s, with
q = - 13.33 and p = - 5.63.
In order to determine the amplitudes of the roots of Eq. (1), they should be
written out in trigonometric form:

Since r =sign(q) IPltl2 =- 2.38 and cos(tp) =q/r3 = 1, then (xo)t =4.76 cm and

The same result can be obtained graphically (see Fig. 251). As the frequency (j)
increases, the straight line 112 =Po - (c - m{j)2)xo rotates counterclockwise, with at
(j) = (j). it being tangent to the curve 11ixo)'
155 The differential equation of motion derived in Problem 153 can be rewritten
in the form
mX' +maix =(mm 2-c)x -clx 3 +Posinmt . (1)
In accordance with the Duffing method, we take the function
XI =xosinmt (2)
as a fIrst approximation. Substituting xt(t) into the right hand side of Eq. (1), we
arrive at the equation in the second approximation:
mi' 2 +mm 2 x 2 =[( mm 2 -C )x 0 -(3/4)c lx g+Po]sinmt +
(1/4)c xgsin3mt .
l
For the secular term to be zero, it is necessary that

(mm2 -c )x 0 -(3/4)c lx g+ Po =0 .
This equation coincides with the expression determining the forced-vibration
amplitude found by the Galerkin method. If condition (2) is satisfIed, the second
approximation is found from the differential equation
mi' 2 +mm 2 x 2 = (I/4)c 1xgsinmt ;
hence,
X2 =A sinmt +B cosmt -[cx g/(32m 2m )]Sin3mt
The constants of integration, A and B, are determined from the initial condi-
tions. If the friction is absent, the phase shift between the perturbing force and the
displacement should be equal to zero. In this case, the displacement of the mass
attains its maximum at the same time as the force does. Hence, the moment of
time t =T/4 can be taken as a zero time when x 2 =Xo and dx/dt =O. It follows from
these conditions, that A = Xo - Ctxo3/(32{j)2m) and B = O.
Therefore, the approximate solution to the equation of forced vibrations has the
form
X =xosinmt-[c1xg/(32m 2m )](sinmt-Sin3mt) .
According to Eq. (2), Xo =2.27 cm; hence, x = 2.27 sin(10t) - O.036[sin(10t)-

Since the functions sine wt) and cos( wt) are linearly independent, the coefficients

The point of intersection is at Xo ~ 1.65 cm, with f3 =arcsin( awxr!Po) ~ 54°40'.
157 If the pendulum experiences vibrations about the equilibrium position inclined
to the vertical, then the equation of its motion has the form
J(p+aip+mgl sin<p=M(.o-ip) .
Expanding the function M (.0- ip) in powers of ip in the vicinity of the point
fl,
and allowing for only the linear term, we arrive at the equation
JijJ+[a+M'(n)]¢J+mg1qJ=M(n) .
¢J = ijJ =0 , its deflection angle is
Hence, if the pendulum is at rest, i.e.,
qJo=M(n)/(mgl) .
The equation of motion in the variable If! = cP - CPo takes the form
JV/+[a+M'(n)]~+mgllfl=O .
For a + M'(il) > 0, the system is dissipative, i.e., its vibrations are damped.
For a + M'(il) < 0, the system is self-exciting; in this case, vibrations increas-
ing with time are possible.
In order to analyze the actual behavior of the system, we should allow for non-
linear expansion terms in M (n- ¢J) . As a result,
JV/+[a+M'(n)]~+mgllfl=M"(n)~2 /2-M"'(n)~3 /6.
For M"(il) =0, this equation can be written out in the form
JV/-bl~+b2~3 +mgllfl=O ,
where bl =- a - M'(il) and b2 =M' " (il)/6. Finally, introducing x = lfIPib/bYI2
and [) =Pl, with Po =(mgl/J)112 and J.i =b/(Jpo)' we arrive at the Rayleigh equation
£+x =,u(1-x2)x, where x =dx/d8. (1)
158 The nonlinear equation of angular vibrations of the brake block has the form
JijJ+cqJ-M(n-¢J)=o,
where J is the moment of inertia of the brake block with respect to the shaft axis.
Allowing for only the linear term in the expansion of M (n- ¢J), we arrive at
the equation
JijJ+cqJ+a¢J=M(n) , (1)
where a =dM/dQ.
Introducing CPI = cP - CPo' where CPo is the rotation angle in steady-state regime,
with cCPo =M(il), we have
JijJl +CqJI +a¢JI =0 . (2)
As follows from Eq. (2), angular vibrations of the brake block are stable if
a> 0, i.e., if Inl ~ In.1 (Fig. 253).

159 As is shown in Problem 157, in the case of friction forces depending nonline-
arly on the velocity, the equation of motion of the pendulum is reduced to the
Rayleigh equation
X. + PoX . (I -X.2/Po2) '

2 = J.lXPo (1)
where p= - [a+ M'(il)]/(Jpo).

We seek for the solution in the form x =a cos(Pot + n, where a and r are in-
definite functions slowly varying with time, i.e., their derivatives with respect to
time is of the same order of magnitude as the small parameter p. The correspond-
ing velocity dxldt is
i =acos(pot+r)-£¥7o sin(pot+r)-aysin(pot+r) .
There are two indefinite functions, a and y, in the solution; hence, the condition
acos(pot +r )-aysin(pot +r) = 0 (2)
should be satisfied. In this case,

i =-apo sin(Pof +r) , (3)
.£ = -cipo sin(Pot +r )-apg cos(Pof +r )-aWocos(pot +r) . (4)

The substitution of expressions (3) and (4) into Eq. (1) yields
-cipo sin(Pot +r )-aWocos(pot +r) = (5)
=-,uapg[ l-a 2 sin 2 (P ot +r )]sin(pof +r).

The unknown functions daldt and d}1'dt are found from Eqs. (2) and (5):
y = ,LgJo[ l-a 2 sin 2 (Pot +r )]sin(Pof +r )cos(Pot +r), (6)
a = a,LgJo[ l-a 2 sin 2 (Pot + r) ]sin 2 (P ot + r).

According to the Van der Pol method, functions (6) can be substituted by their
values averaged over a period, with y taken as a parameter rather than a function
of time:

r =J!JL Jr( T)dT, a= Po Ja( T)dT . (7)

It is convenient to introduce the new independent variable B = Po r: + 1. then,

dB= Pod r: + (d}1dr:) dr:. Since, dtfdt is of the same order of magnitude as the pa-
rameter )1, we take dB:::: pod r: . In this case,

Performing the integration, we obtain

a= (f.1Poa/2)( 1- 3a /4) = f.1PolP( a) /2,
2 (8)
r=f.1Polf/(a)/27r =O.
Equation (8) allows us to determine the time dependence of the amplitude a. As
is known from the general theory of nonlinear vibrations, the system has limiting
cycles provided that the right hand side of Eq. (8) is equal to zero. The roots of the
equation da/dt = 0 are a l = 0 and a 2 = 2/3 1(2. They correspond to the equilibrium
position and the periodic motion of the pendulum, respectively.
We now analyze the stability of these states of the pendulum. Let
a = a; + All , (9)
where a, are roots of the equation l1X..a) = 0 and L1a is a deflection of the pendulum
from its eqUilibrium position or from its periodic motion. The substitution of (9)
into Eq. (8) yields
We allow for only the linear expansion term in the right hand side of this equation:
dLla/dt =(f.1Po/ 2)(diP/da; )L1a . (10)
Solving the equation, we find
Aa =c exp(f.1PO diP t) .
2 dai
Therefore, for )1 > 0, the periodic motion (or the eqUilibrium position) of the
pendulum is stable if d<tt'da, < 0 and unstable if d<tt'da, > O. In the case under con-
sideration, )1 = O.oI5 (see Problem 157) and
tP(a) =a(1-3a /4) , dl/JI da=(1-9a /4) .

2 2
For a =a, =0, dlUda, = 1 > 0, i.e., the equilibrium position is unstable. For
a =~ =2/3'12, dlUda 2 =-1 < O.
Therefore, the limiting cycle of vibrations is stable. In order words, after the
equilibrium of the pendulum has been disturbed, the amplitude of angular vibra-
tions is slowly varying with time t and tends to the limiting value
'If =(az/PO)~bl/b2 :::::0.224 rad.
00
160 Since the initial deflection angle 1jI(0) =0.1 rad is less than the limiting value
'1/00 =0.224, the vibration amplitude tends to this limit, increasing monotonically.
Figure 254 shows the pendulum motion on the phase plane ('1/, drp/dt). The limit-
ing cycle (the steady periodic motion) is shown by solid line. In the case of
1jI(0) > '1/00, the vibration amplitude decreases with increasing time (dashed line on
the outside of the limiting cycle).
161 The solution found in Problem 159 has the form x =a cos(Pot + y), where
drtdt =O. Therefore, the frequency of the stable limiting cycle is Po'
162 This problem is solved in much the same way as Problem 159. As a result,
tP(a)=(a/8)(4-a 2 ), 'If(a) =0 .
The first root a, =0 of the equation f/X...a) =0 corresponds to the unstable equi-
librium of the pendulum, the second root a2 =2 is the limiting-cycle amplitude.
Differentiating the function f/X...a) with respect to a (see Problem 159), we find
" rad/s
Fig. 254.
(dlP/da)la=a2 =(4/S)-(3a;/S)=-1<0.
Therefore, the limiting cycle is stable.
163 In steady-state vibration regime, the drag force balances the rope tension:
cx o=c xSpvg/2, (1)
where Xo is the rope elongation. The differential equation of small longitudinal vi-
brations of the glider has the form
mX"+c(xo+x)=cxS,o(vo-xt/2, (2)
where x is the coordinate relative to the equilibrium position. There is the minus
sign in the right hand side of the equation since the glider speed decreases with in-
creasing x. With regard to equality (1), Eq. (2) can be written out as
X" + pgx = -,u(2v oX -x 2) =Fr
where P02 = elm and f.1 = cpS/(2m).
It is more accurate to write the force F, as
Fr =- ,u(2v oX - X Ix I)
because the drag force must be an odd function of dx/dt.
We seek for the solution to Eq. (2) in the form x = a cos(Pot + rp) = a cos(B).
The Van der Pol method yields the following equation for a(t) (see Problem 159):

d; = - :n- f(2v oa-a 2Polsin~)sin2 mB ,

or daldt = rJX...a), where rJX...a) = - (aj.ilpo)[2v o'IT - (8/3)ap o]·
The roots a = 0 and a2 = 3vo'IT/(4po) of the equation rJX...a) = 0 correspond to the

The derivatives of rJX...a) at the points a and a2 are

mli"1 +C(X I-x 2) = 0,
m 2i"2 +C(X 2 -X 1)=0.
We seek for the solution to these equations in the form
XI =A sinpt, x 2=B sinpt ,
where the coefficients A and B are to be found from the system of equations
(c -mIP2)A -cB =0, -cA +(c -m2p2)B =0 .
As A and B are not zero, the determinant of this system must be equal to zero:

165 We take the rotation angle (jJ of the cylinder and the deflection angle .9 of the

where J =Mr212. The velocity of the mass m is the vector sum of the velocity
ld.9ldt perpendicular to the rod and the horizontal velocity rdqidt of the cylinder.
The kinetic energy of the mass m is

The total potential energy depends only on the vertical displacement of the mass

167 Let us consider the position of the bodies at an arbitrary moment of time
(Fig. 256a). The bodies are subjected to the forces shown in Fig. 256b. Using the
d' Alembert principle, we arrive at the differential equations
mlY'1 +Toa , +T Oa 2 =0, m 2Y'2 +T Oa 2+T Oa 3 =0, (1)
where a l =y/l, a2 = (Y2 - YI)1l and a3 =yfl. Therefore,

mlY'1 +[ToY ,-To(Y 2- Y 1)]/1 =0,
m2Y'2+[ToY2+TO(Y2-YI)]j1 =0.

Y = b'll( -mY' )+b'12{ -J01ifJ) , tp= b'12{ -mY' )+b'22{ -J01ifJ)
We seek for the solution to these equation in the form
Y =A sinpt, tp=B sinpt .
Performing usual transformations, we arrive at the characteristic equation of the
system:
p4_[(b'2JOI+b'llm )p2+1]/(L1mJOl)=0,
where L1 = J, I~2 - J,AI' Therefore, the eigenfrequencies squared are
As 101 ~ 0, the first eigenfrequency PI tends to (~lmtl\ i.e., to the eigenfrequency

of a point mass. To find a correction to this quantity for small, but nonzero, values
of 101' we rewrite the above equation in the form
PI2 =(022J OI +Ol1 m )/(2L1mJo1 ) •
Expanding the root in powers of 101' we find

PI2 = 1/(011m )-(0;2J0\ ) / (4L1m 2011 ) .
The second term in this expression is the desired error associated with the as-
sumption of point mass.
169 In order to determine eigenfrequencies for statically indeterminate many-body
systems, it is convenient to use the force method to formulate the equations of

the superfluous constraints should be substituted by unknown forces Xi. We
choose the basic system as it is shown in Fig. 257. The beam is subjected to the

ments of points of application of these forces obey the equations

Assuming Yl =Cl sin(pt), Y2 =C2 sin(pt), and Xl =Xo sin(pt) and taking into ac-
count that Y3 =0, we obtain the system of three homogeneous equations in the un-
knowns Cl' C2, and Xo and the corresponding characteristic equation

170 Differential equations of small free vibrations, which are found by the force
method, are similar to those obtained in Problem 169. In this case, the eigenfre-
quencies of the systems shown in Figs. 128a-d are, respectively,
(a) PI = 3.68 Po, P2 = 10.62 Po;
(b) PI = 2.34 Po, P2 = 3.05 Po;
(c) PI = 2.54 Po, P2 = 4.37 Po;
(d) PI = 1.05 Po, Pz = 6.06 Po·
where P02 =EJj(ml\
171 Using the force method, we arrive at the differential equations of motion
(1)
Y I = 011 (-m lil)+OI2( -m 2i2)'
Y 2 = 021( -m lil)+022( -m 2i2).
To determine the coefficients ~i' we take unit forces to be applied to each load,
construct bending moment diagrams (1), (2), and (3) shown in Fig. 258, and em
ploy Vereshchagin's rule. As a result,
01l=022=41 3/(9EJ x )' 012=021=713/(18EJx). (2)
Substituting the solutions YI =Al sin(pt) and Y2 =A2 sin(pt) into Eq. (1), we obtain
the system of algebraic equations
(3)
(0I1mIP2-I)AI+0I2m2p2A2 =0,
021mlP 2AI +(022 m2P 2 -1)A2 = O.

Substituting expressions (2) into Eqs. (4), we arrive at
P 4_P 272EJ x/ (5ml 3) +54/5(EJ x / ml 3 =0 .

The roots of this equation are
PI =0.89~'---EJ-'x 3), P2
/(-:--ml---:- =3.7~EJx /( m1 3) .
To find the eigenmodes, we set All = 1 and P = PI in Eqs. (3). In this case,
A21 =(1-0I1mlpn/(0I2m2pn~1.052.
Similarly, setting AI2 = 1 and P =P2' we find A22 ~ - 0.475 (see curves (3) and (4)
in Fig. 258). The numerical values of the eigenfrequencies are PI = 336 1/s and
P 2 = 1400 1/s.
172 The equations of motion found by the force method have the form
yJm =-0I1il- 0 l2i2- 0 I3i3'
Y21m =-02Iil-022i2- 0 23i3'
Y 31m =-03Iil-032i2 -033i3'
where D:I =25A, D:2 =39A, D:3 = In, ~2 =8U, ~3 =39A, ~3 =25A,
andA =t/(3888EJJ We seek for the solution in the form Yi =Ai sin(pt). In much
the same way as in Problem 171, we obtain the characteristic equation
2880,tl-1344,tl + 131,u-1 = 0 , (1)
where 11 =mtl/(3888EJ). The left hand side of Eq. (1) as a function of 11 is
shown in Fig. 259. The roots found from this plot are III = 0.00825, J4 = 0.126,
and J.L; =0.334. Using these values, we find
173 The center of gravity of the vibrating plate is defined by its horizontal x and
vertical y displacements and the rotation angle cp. In this case, the differential
equations of small free vibrations have the form
X = -ollmX" -012mji -013Jip, (1)
Y = -02lmX" -022 mji -023J ip,

(jJ = -03l mX" -032 mji -033 J ip·
The coefficients o,j are determined by multiplying, according to the Vereshcha-
gin's rule, bending moment diagrams (1), (2), and (3), which correspond to unit
forces and unit torque applied to the plate center of gravity in x-, y-, and ~
directions, respectively (Fig. 260 a-c): £\1 = (1/3)<\, £\2 = b;1 = b;2 = (1/4) <\,
£\3 = ~I = b;3 = ~2 = (1/2) o,jl, and ~3 = 0/12, where <\ = t/(El).
In the case of small vibrations, y = Z({Y2 and Eqs. (1) are reduced to
X = -Ollmi· -(mOI2 +2JOI3 /I)ji, (2)
y = -021 mi· -( m022 +2J0 23 / I )ji .

Assuming x = AI sin(pt) and y = A2 sin(pt) and taking the equality 1= mZ2/12 into
account, we find the eigenfrequencies
(3)
Pl=1.185po' P2=4.75po' Po=~EJx/(mI3).
To find the eigenmodes, we set x = All sin(Plt) and y = A21 sin(pJ) in Eqs. (2).
For P = PI and P = P2' respectively, we have

The orthogonality condition
mlA llA12 +m2A21A22 =0
for the eigenmodes can be used to verify the solutions obtained. In the case under
consideration, m, =mz =m, and this condition is evidently satisfied. The eigen-
modes found are shown in Fig. 260d,e.
174 The eigenfrequencies are p, = 0.97 Po and Pz = 3.2 Po' with Po = [EJjCmt)]"2.

175 The frame has three degrees of freedom, namely, the horizontal, vertical, and
angular displacements of the plate. We choose a basic statically determinate sys-
tem as it is shown in Fig. 262.
The differential equations of motion found by the force method have the form
X =-ollm:i" -o12mj" -o13J ip+R014 , (1)
y =-021mi' -o22m)/ -o23J ip+Ro24 ,

(jJ =-031mi' -032 m)/ -033J ip+ R034 ,
where R is an unknown reaction force. System (1) should be completed by a
kinematic constraint, namely, the linear displacement in the direction of the un-
known reaction R must be equal to zero:
mi'041 +m)/042 +Jip043 -Ro44 =0. (2)
Here, x, y, and qJ are the horizontal, vertical, and angular displacements of the
plate, respectively.
To determine the coefficients of Eqs. (1) and (2), we take unit forces applied to
the basic system and construct the bending-moment curves just as in Problem 173.
To simplify Eqs. (1), we take into account that the vertical displacement of the left
end of the plate is zero, i.e., the vertical y and angular qJ displacements of the plate
center of gravity are related by the equality y = lrp/2. Taking the relation J = m12/12
into account, we arrive at the system of equations

844 =(2/3)8/1, where ~ =t/(EJ).
Assuming x =Al sin(pt), y =A2 sin(pt), and R =Ro sin(pt), we determine the ei-
genfrequencies of the system: PI = 1.45 Po andp2 =5.83 Po, with Po =[EJ/(mt)tll •
To find the eigenmodes, we set x = XI = All sin(PI t) and y = YI = A21 sin(Pl). As
follows from Eqs. (3), A21 = 1.05 All. Similarly, setting x =X 2 = AI2 sin(P2 t) and
Y = Y2 = A22 sin(Pl), we find A22 =-0.95 A 12 · The eigenmodes found for All =AI2 =1
are shown in Fig. 262e,f by dashed lines.

177 PI =0.685 Po and P = 1.4 Po, with Po = [EJj(mt)]II2. The corresponding eigen-

modes are shown in Fig. 263.
178 The bending-strain energy of the system is II =cll2, where c =3EJjt is the
bending rigidity of the cantilever rod (see Fig. 264a). The kinetic energy of the
load is
T = mug /2+Jip~/2, where Uo =u +ipl /4 .
In the case of small vibrations, Y = (qJ- u) cosqJ"" qJ- u. Using the Lagrangian
method, we arrive at the equations
mit· +mlip/4+c(u -qi)=O,
mit· +5mlip/4-4c(u -qi)= O.

To derive the characteristic equation, we substitute u = AI cos(pt) and

Hence,
PI =0, P2 =~87EJ/(4mI 3 )
The eigenfrequencies PI and P2 correspond to the motion of the system as a rigid
body and to the flexural vibration, respectively (Fig. 264b,c). The orthogonality
condition muOl u02 + iffJllffJ22 =0 provides a relation between the mode amplitudes.
Setting UOI =u02 = 1, we have ffJlI =4/(5/) and ffJ I2 =- 511.

tion are

The corresponding characteristic equation

180 We consider the system at an arbitrary moment of time (Fig. 265a). The ki-
netic energy is given by the equation
T =m\u\2 /2+m 2u; /2 .
When determining the bending-strain energy, we can consider the rod as a
beam supported at its ends (Fig. 265b). Since the bending moments at the end
points are zero, the strain energy is II= cu II 2/2, where C = 6EJjt In the case of
small vibrations when coso. Ri 1, u ll Ri al - u t and al Ri u/2, the equations of mo-

The eigenfrequencies PI and P2 correspond, respectively, to the rotation of the rod

as a rigid body and to the vibrational mode shown in Fig. 265c.
181 According to the d' Alembert principle, a system will be at rest if loaded by
inertial forces (Fig. 266a). Consequently, the supporting force is
R =-miit -2mu·2-mii3 . (1)
The moment of the inertial forces with respect to the hinge is zero, i.e.,
mait +4mhi·2+ 3mhi·3 = 0 . (2)
There are four unknowns (R, up u2' and u3 ) in Eqs. (1) and (2). To set up addi-
tional equations, we consider the bending caused by the inertial forces:
EJxY "=-Rz -mu·t(z -/)-2mu·2(z -2/) .
Integrating this equation two times and taking Eq. (1) into account, we arrive at
the equation
EJxY =(u· t +2u·2+u·3)mz 3/6_ (3)
mu·t(z _/)3 /6-2mu·2(z - 2/ /6+Cz +D . r

The constants of integration C and D are found from the boundary conditions:
y =0 for z =0 and z =31. It follows from these conditions that D =0 and
C = -(19u·t + 52u·2+27u·3)mI 2/18 .
Finally, we arrive at the equation for the curved rod axis:

The zero frequency corresponds to the rotation of the rod as a perfectly rigid body
(Fig. 266b).
To find relations between the eigenmode amplitudes at p = P2' we substitute
ui = Ai2 sin(N) into Eqs. (2) and (6). As a result,
4A 22 +3A 32 =-A I2 , 11.5A 22 +7A32 =-A 12 •
For AI2 = 1, we have A22 = 0.61 and A32 = - 1.15. Similarly, for P = P3.' we have
A 23 =- 0.485 and A33 =0.31. The second and third eigenmodes found are shown in
Figs. 266c,d.
182 The eigenmodes can be found from the following considerations. The system
has two zero eigenfrequencies corresponding to the translatory and angular mo-
tions of it as a rigid body (Fig. 267a). These eigenmodes are shown in
Figs. 267b,c. Two bending eigenmodes, symmetric and antisymmetric, can be
found from the orthogonality condition.
We introduce the following notation: ulJ' U 12 ' U 13' U I4 and rtJlJ' rtJ12 , rtJ13 , rtJI4 (u 2J' U 22 '
U 23 ' U 24 and rtJ2J' rtJ22 , rtJ23 , rtJ24) are linear and angular displacements corresponding to
the four eigenmodes for the left (right) body, respectively. The third (symmetric
bending) mode must be orthogonal to the translatory mode, i.e.,
rnu IIU 13 + rnu 21u 23 +JCfJIICfJI3 +JCfJ2ICfJ23 = 0 .
Since flJlI = flJlZ = 0, we have u l ) = U ZJ = 0, assuming that U II = U ZI = 1 (for the first

*
mode, u lJ =u lJ 0). The third mode must be orthogonal to the second mode:
mu 12U 13 + mu 22 U23 +J'P12'PI3 +J'P22'P23 = 0 .
Setting U IZ = - 1 and uzz = 1 and taking into account that u l ) = un = 0 and
flJlZ = flJ2) = 3/(41), we find flJl3 = - flJ2)" Similarly, from the conditions that the fourth
mode must be orthogonal to the first, second, and third modes,
mU l4 +mu 24 +J'P14 ·0+J'P24 ·0=0,

m( -1)( -1)+m +J'P14-+J'P24-=0,
41 41
m .0+m(-I).0+J'PI3'P14 +J'P23'P24 =0,
we obtain U I4 = - U Z4 = - 1 and flJI4 = flJZ4 = - 16/(3/). The third and fourth modes are
shown in Figs. 267 d, e.
Using the eigenmodes found, we now determine their frequencies. Since the
third mode is symmetric, we consider only the right half of the system (Fig. 267f).
To determine the bending rigidity of the system, we find its angle of deflection
caused by the unit moment of forces applied to the body: f/J;) = 8,) =1/(2£1). Cor-
responding eigenfrequencies are

Similarly, the fourth, antisymmetric mode corresponds to Fig. 267g. In this

case, the kinetic and potential energies are
T =Ji/ /2+mu~ /2, Il=cy 2/2 ,

where Uo =U + lrpl2, c =24EJjl\ and y =lrpl2 - u. The equations of motion and
characteristic equation have the form

mlip/4+mu' -clrp/2+cu =0,
P 2 [Jmp 2 -9C(Z2m +J )/16] =0.
The frequencies corresponding to the antisymmetric mode are
P2=0, p4=8.2~EJx/(mI3) .
183 The system has four degrees of freedom and, therefore, four eigenmodes: two
anti symmetric and two symmetric modes (Figs. 268a-d). The frequencies of the
anti symmetric modes can be found just as in Problem 182:
PI =0, P3 =4.7~EJx /(mI 3)

To determine the frequencies of the symmetric modes, we consider the right

half of the system as a cantilever. The differential equations of motion found by
the force method have the form
The coefficients b.j are determined by the Mohr method with the use of the
Vereshchagin's rule:
8 11 =31l 3/(48EJ x ) ,8'2 = 8 2, =3/ 2 /(4EJ x ) ,822 = 1/(EJx ) .
Finally, the frequencies of the symmetric modes are
P 2 = 1.1~EJ x/ (m1 3) , P 4 = 6.5~'--EJ----;x

/ (-=--ml--:-3) .
Assuming U22 = u24 = 1, we find the angles f/J22 = 0.93/1 and f/J24 = - 3.3/1.
184 A position of the system is defined by the four coordinates y" Y2' f/J" and f/J2
(Fig. 269a). The kinetic energy is
T = m,y ,2 /2+m 2 y; /2+J/p; /2+Jip;/2 .
It is convenient to express the strain energy in terms of the relative linear Yk and
angular f/Jk displacements of the bodies. Assuming the left body to be fixed, we
take a force Q and a moment M of forces as applied to the end of the elastic rod
(Fig. 269b). In this case, the deflection of the rod and its rotation angle are, re-
spectively,
Y k =8 11Q +8'2 M , ffJk =8 2,Q +822 M ,
where ~, = tl(3EJ), ~2 =~, = [2/(2EJ), and~, = l/(EJ). Therefore,
Q = Y k 8 22 / L1-ffJk 8 22 / L1, M = -Y k 8 2,/ L1+ffJk 8 11 / L1,
L1 = 8 11 8 22 -8;2 = (1/6)[/ 2/( EJ x )f

The corresponding eigenfrequencies are found from Eq. (1):

186 The system has five degrees of freedom: the vertical displacements and the
rotation angles of the two loads and the vertical displacement of the central point
mass. The zero eigenfrequencies P, = P2 = 0 correspond to the motion of the sys-
tem as a perfectly rigid body (Fig. 270a,b). The third mode must be orthogonal to
these zero modes:
mu lJu \3 + mu 2l U 23 + mu 31U33 +JCfJI\CfJ\3 +JCfJ31CfJ33 =0, (1)
mu 12U 13 + mu Z2UZ3 + mu 32U33 +JCfJ12CfJ\3 +JCfJ32CfJ33 =O.

Since rpll = rp31 = 0 and u ll = U 21 = u31 = 1, Eqs. (1) give U 31 + U 23 + U 33 =0. Taking
u ,3 = U 33 = - 1, we find U 23 = 2.
Similarly, substituting U 32 = 1, U ,2 = U ,3 = U 33 = - 1, and rp12 = rp32 = lit into
Eq. (1), we find U 22 = O. Therefore, the third eigenmode is symmetric (Fig. 270c).
The orthogonality conditions for the fourth eigenmode have the form
Ul4 +U Z4 +U 34 =0 , (2)

-U 14 +U 34 +-(qJ14 +qJ34)=O ,

-U 14 +2U 24 -U 34 -(qJ13qJ14 +qJ33qJ34)=O .

Since the fourth mode must be anti symmetric, i.e., U l4 = - u34 = - 1, Eq. (2)
gives U24 = O. In addition, ({J14 = ({J34' Setting U34 = 1, we find from Eq. (3)
({J14 = ({J34 = - mill = - 411 (Fig. 270d).
The fifth, symmetric mode must be orthogonal to the four modes considered
above. Similar consideration yields ({J15 = - ({J35 = 3mll(l({J13) = 121(l({J13) and U25 =-2
(with U I5 = U35 = 1). This eigenmode is shown in Fig. 270e.
The eigenfrequencies can be evaluated by using the modes found above. To
find the frequencies of symmetric modes, we treat the system as a hinged beam
loaded by the moments M = l / ({J at its ends and by the inertial forces PI' P2'
Fig. 270.
and P 3 (Fig. 270f). As is follows from the equilibrium condition, PI + P 3 =P 2, i.e.,

u2 =2u l • The differential equation describing the beam profile has the form
EJxY "=M +mu,p2z - mu2p 2(Z -I) .
The solution to this equation has the form
Since dy(O)/dz =- ffJ, it follows from (5) that

EJxrp=MI +mu,/2p2 /2. (7)
Taking the equality M =Jl ffJ into account, we reduced Eqs. (6) and (7) to the
form
(-mep 3 /3+3EJ x )u, -Jp 2/ 2rp/2=0, (8)
mI2p 2uJ2+(Jlp2_EJx )rp=O.

The roots of the corresponding characteristic equation
p 4 -52EJxp 2/(mI 3)+ 144[EJx/(m/ 3 )f =0

are
To find the angles ffJl3 and ffJ15' we use one of equations (8) and the eigenfre-
quencies found: ffJl3 =- 5.5/1 for U l3 =- 1, and ffJI5 =- 2.211 for U l5 = 1.
The frequencies of antisymmetric modes are found in much the same way as in
Problem 182:
187 To set up the differential equations of motion, we use the d' Alembert princi-
ple. In the process of vibrations, the flywheels are SUbjected to the moments of in-
ertial and elastic forces. Assuming that ffJI < ffJ2 < ffJ3 (ffJj are the rotation angles), we
have
-J/p,+M, =0, -J2ijJ2+(M2 -M,)=0, J3ijJ3-M3=0,
or
-JjiPj +C j(tp2 -tpj)=O,

-J2iP2 +C 2(tp3 -tp2)-C j(tp2 -tpl)=O,
-JjiPj -C 2( tp3 -tp2) = 0.
Assuming f/J; =Ai sin(pt), we arrive at the characteristic equation

With regard to c t = GJ/l t and c2 = GJ/Z2, we find the eigenfrequencies
p j = 0, P 2 = 92.411 S ,p 3 = 151.511 S .
188 We denote by fPt' fP2' fPt', and fP/ the rotation angles of the left disk, right
disks, wheel (1), and wheel (2), respectively. The kinetic and potential energies
are
T =J1ipi /2+J 2ip;j2, (1)
II=c1(tpj-tpj't /2+C 2(tp2 -tp2't /2.

The rotation angles are interrelated by the equation fPt' =- fP2' u. Eliminating
from Eq. (1) the angle fPj and using the Lagrange equation, we obtain the equa-
tions of motion
JjiPj +Cj(tpj +Utp2')=0, (2)
J 2iP2 -c 2(tp2 '-tp2) = 0,

uc j(tpj +Utp2 ,)+C 2(tp2 '-tp2) = 0.
The last equation implies that the moments of elastic forces acting on the gear
wheels are balanced at all moments of time. Eliminating the angle fP2" we arrive at
the equations

189 The equations of angular vibrations of the disks are set up just as in Prob-
lems 187 and 188. The eigenfrequencies for systems shown in Figs. 145a-e are,
respectively,

(C)Pl =0.8~c/J ,P2 =1.97~c/J ;

3J(P3 -C(rp2 -rp3)=0.
We seek for a solution to Eqs. (1) in the form (fJi =Ai sin(pt), where the con-
stants Ai are determined from the equations

We now find relationships between the amplitudes of these eigenmodes. For

zero frequency (first mode), we find from Eq. (2) A" =A 2, =A 3,. For the second
mode, A22 =(c - Jp2 2)AJc =0.435A'2 and A32 =cA 2i(c - 3Jp22) =- O.615A 22 . For
the third mode, A 23 = - O.77A'3 and A33 = O.I79A'3" The eigenmodes are shown in
Fig. 271 for A" =A'2 =A13 = 1.
To verify the eigenmodes found above, we use the orthogonality condition. For
the first and second modes, this condition has the form
JAJlA 12 +2JA z1 A zz +3JA 3IA 3Z =0 (3)
Substituting the amplitudes Aij found above, we have

(1.1-2.1.0.435-3.1.0.615)J =0.025J ~O .
Similarly, the orthogonality conditions for the first (or second) and third modes
yield, respectively,
(1.1-2.1.0.77+3.0.179)J =0.003J ~O,
(1.1-2.0.77 .0.435-3.0.615+0.179)J ~ O.
191 The differential equations of motion of the disks can be written out as

thogonality conditions are satisfied.
192 The characteristic equation

has the roots
PI =0, pi =0.613c/J ,p; =2.26c/J ,p; =5.8c/J
These eigenmodes are characterized by the vibration amplitudes, respectively,

tJJ12 =1,tJJzz =0.387, tJJ3Z =-0.0375, tJJ4Z =-0.455,

tJJI4 = 1, tJJZ4 = -4.8, tJJ34 = 6.22, tJJ 44 = -0.8.
193 The expression for the strain energy is the same as in Problem 188, while the
expression for the kinetic energy contains two additional terms:
T =J/pi /2+J zip;/2+J I'(ipl ,)Z /2+J z'(ipz')Z /2 .
Eliminating the angle fIJI' (see Problem 188) and using the Lagrange equations, we
obtain

where 13 = 11 'u 2 + 12 ' and c3= C I U 2 + c2•
194 The kinetic and potential energies of the system are given by the equations

II =C1(tJJl _tJJI,)2 /2+C I(tJJ2 -tJJ2 ,)2 /2+C 2(tJJ3 -tJJ3,)2 /2.
Here, fIJI" fIJ/, and fIJ/ are the rotation angles for the gear wheels in the gear re-
duction (see Fig. 273), with
tJJl ,= -tJJ3 'Z /

tJJl = tJJ2 .
Eliminating the angles fIJI' and flJ2' and using the Lagrange equations, we arrive at
the equations of motion
JI~I +C1(tJJl +UtJJ3')=0,
J2~2 +C 1(tJJ2 +UtJJ3')=0,
J3~3 +C 2(tJJ3 -tJJ3')=0,
CIU (tJJl +UtJJ3 ,)+CIU (tJJ2 +UtJJ3 ')+C 2(tJJ3 '-tJJ3) = O.
The last equation gives
tJJ3'=[C 2tJJ3 -clu (tJJl +tJJ2)]/(2c 1u 2 +C 2) .
Eliminating (jJ3" we obtain the system of equations

J/p, +allqJ, -a'2qJ2 +a13 qJ3 =0,
JiP2 -a'2qJ, +all qJ2 +a13 qJ3 =0,

-2a13 [U(a:, -a,22 )-a13 (a'2 +a,,)] = O.
It is easy to prove that the free term of this equation must vanish. Indeed, it is
evident that the uniform rotation of all the gear wheels is possible; therefore, the
characteristic equation must have zero roots.
195 Considering the dynamic equilibrium of each flywheel, we arrive at the equa-
tions
J,(p, +c,(qJ, -qJ2)+a(~'-~3)=O, (1)
J 2(P2 -c,(qJ,-qJ2)-C 2(qJ3 -qJ2)=O,

where (jJI' (jJ2' and (jJ3 are the rotation angles for the left and right flywheels and for
the contact ring of the damper, respectively.

The third equation is found from the equilibrium condition for the elastic shell:
a(~, -~3)-C2(qJ3 -qJ2)= (2)
Substituting the solutions (jJi =Ai exp(AJ) into Eqs. (1) and (2), we obtain the char-
acteristic equation
(/!?J, +2a+c,) -pa
or
In this case, there is a system with a fractional number of degrees of freedom.

Equation (3) has two zero roots (11.1•2 ~ 0), which correspond to the rotation of the
system as a rigid body. The remaining three roots are found from the equation

Substituting the numerical values, we have
1 3 +6012 +6301+12600=0 ;
therefore, A3 =- 53.1 and A4,5 =- 3.45 + i 16.5.

196 We choose the vertical displacement y of the center of gravity of the case and
its rotation angle rp as generalized coordinates (Fig. 274). The potential and kinetic
energies are given by the equations
II=cl(y +rp/lt /2+c 2(y -rp/2)2/2 ,

T =my 2 /2+Jil /2.
Substituting these expressions into the Lagrange equations, we find
mji +C1(Y +rp/I)+C 2(Y -rp/2)=0,
JijJ+clll(y +rp/I)+c 212(y -rp/2)=0,

We seek for the solution in the form y = A sin(pt) and rp = B sin(pt). The corre-
sponding characteristic equation has the roots

197 For the eigenfrequencies to be equal to each other, the following conditions
must be satisfied:
c,l, =c 212, (c,I,2 +cin/J ={c, +c 2)/m .
These conditions are reduced to JIm = 11/z-
198 We take the vertical y and angular rp displacements of the case center of grav-
ity and the vertical displacements YI and Y2 of the front and back axles as general-
ized coordinates (Fig. 151). The kinetic and potential energies and the Rayleigh
dissipative function are given by the equations

199 We take the displacements YI and Y2 of the front and back axles as generalized
coordinates. The viscous forces are ignored (a= 0). We introduce new unknowns
Z, =Y + rpa and Z2 =Y - rpb. Then,
Y =(z ,b +z 2a)/{a+b); tp={z, -z 2)/{a+b) .
Just as in Problem 198, we obtain the two independent systems of differential
equations

The special case Jo =mab is equivalent to the design diagram presented in
Fig. 275. Equations (1) [(2)] describe vibrations of the front (back) axle and a
mass m2 =mbl(a+b) [m 3 =mal(a+b)], with the mass m3 (m 2 ) fixed.
We find from Eqs. (1) and (2), respectively, PI =8.27 lis, P3 =48.5 lis and
P2 =9.9 lis, P4 =48.5 lis.

two relations (with regard to the expressions written above):
As t =(YO/SIO)Y +(XO/SIO)X , (4)
As 2 =(/t -X o)X / S20 +(Y 0/ S20)Y

The static tensions entering into Eqs. (2) are interrelated by the equilibrium equa-

Substituting Eqs. (3)-(5) into Eqs. (2), we have

Setting x = A sin(pt) and y = B sin(pt), we arrive at the characteristic equation

Hence,
PI,2 = (all +a22)/2+~(aIl-~2t /4 + al22

If the body is at the middle point (i.e., Xo =1/2, SIO =S20 = so), the initial tensions
are TIO = T20 = To. In this case, system (6) is reduced to the two independent equa-
tions
mi·+2[To{y;/sg)+EF{x;/sg)]x =0, (7)
mji +2[To{x;/sg)+EF{y;/sg)]y =0.

The eigenfrequencies corresponding to vertical and horizontal vibrations are,
respectively,
PI =~2{ToY; +EFx;)/{msg) , (8)
P21 =~2{T oX; +EFy ;)/{msg).

For a series of special cases, the eigenfrequencies can be found from Eqs. (8).
In the case of Xo =0, So =Yo ' To = mg/2, and II =0, i.e., vertical vibrations of a body
suspended by a tensile line (see Fig. 280b),
PI =~g Iso, P2 =~r--2E-J/"""""(m-s-'-o) .
In the case of Yo =0, i.e., vibrations of a body at the middle point of a horizontal
elastic line (see Fig. 28c),
PI =~"---4E-F/"-:--(m---:-ll) ' P2 =~2To,/(mll) ,
where To' is the tension for which Yo l':::: O.
206 The differential equations of motion are similar to Eqs. (6) of Problem 205,
but the quantities x O' Yo' TlfV and T20 are now functions of velocity v and time t.
According to the initial conditions, the body moves along arc of an ellipse
(Fig. 281) given by the following equation in polar coordinates:
SIO =soo/(l-e cosal)=soo/(1-exO/s IO ) .
Taking into account that SIO =Soo + vt, we find Xo = vt/e, where e =1/1. The vertical
coordinate of the body is
YO=~SI20-X; . (1)
Finding x- and y-components of the force applied to the body, we arrive at the
equations

ment are q = qo + L\q and x =Xo +LIx, respectively. The capacitance is C =a/(l- x),
where a is a constant and I is the electrode spacing in the case when no charge is
present.
To derive the equations of motion, we use the Lagrange equations. The total
potential energy (including both electric and elastic energies) of the system is
II = -UL1q +cx 2/2 .
Expanding this expression in powers of !J.q and !J.x up to the second order, we have

equal to zero. The total kinetic and magnetic energy and the energy lost in the cir-
cuit are, respectively,
T = mLii 212 + LL14 2/2, D = RL14 2/2 .
Therefore, the differential equations of free vibrations of the system take the
form

where (jJ1 and (jJ2 are the rotation angles of the disks. Using the Lagrange equations,
we arrive at the differential equations of motions
J/p] +C(rp]-rp2)=0, (1)
J/P2 +C(rp2 -rp2)=0.

Substituting (jJ1 = A1 sin(pt) and (jJ2 = A2 sin(pt) into Eqs. (1), we obtain the charac-
teristic equation
which has the roots
p] =0, P2 =~c(J] +J2)/(J\J2) .

With allowance for the multiple zero roots, the rotation of the disks is described
by the equations
2.2 Forced Vibrations
210 The differential equations of motion derived by the force method have the
form
y 1 = 8 11 (-m lil +P )-812 m 2i2'Y 2 =821 ( -mlil +P )-822 m 2i2'
Substituting YI =AI sin( mt) and Y2 =A2 sin( mt) into these equations, we find the
amplitudes AI and A 2:
_ 811(1-m2822w2)+8i2m2ul
A I - Po (1-8 m w 2 )( 1-8 m w 2) -82 m m W4 '

A 2 =Po (1-811 m w 2 )( 1-822 m w 2) -8212 m m w 4 '

Since 01 = 1I(m2 n ), we have
AI = -8Pol 3 /(9EJ x ), A21 = - 64Pol 3 / ( 63EJx ) ,
The loads m l and m 2 are subjected to the periodic forces FI =- P - m l d2y/dl
and F2 =- P - m2d2y/dt2with amplitudes FlO =0 and F 20 =2PA.!o..2' As is seen
from the bending moment diagram shown in Fig, 282, the cross section passing
through the load m2 is the most critical section where the bending moment is equal
to Mmax =46Po1l21. Therefore, the maximum stress in the beam is
CY max =Mmax/Wx =4Pol822/(381}Vx) ,
211 The differential equations of motion of the system have the form
XI =(Posinwt-ml.i'I)811 +-m 2.i'2 8 12' (1)
X2 =-mi'1 8 21- m2:i'2 8 22'

Fig. 282.
where XI and x2 are the displacements of the loads m l and m2, respectively. For the
case shown in Fig. 161a, the coefficients of Eqs. (1) are
8" = 1/(2c )+ / 3/(6EJ x ) = 2/( 3c ) ,
8 12 =8 21 =8 22 = /3/( 6EJx ) =1/(6c ).

Substituting XI XIO sin(wt) and x 2 =x20 sin(wt) into Eq. (1), we find the amplitudes

Hence,
The load m2 is subjected to the force P IO =2c(x lO - x20) =2.31 Po. The coefficient of
dynamic force transfer is kdyn =P/P2 =2.31. For the case shown in Fig. 161b,
kdyn = 4.5.
212 We resolve the inertial force Fo into the components Fy =Fo sin(wt) and
F, =Fo cos(wt), perpendicular and parallel to the beam axis, respectively. A posi-
tion of the motor center of gravity is determined by the vertical displacement y and
the rotation angle rp. The force method yields the equations
y =(Fy -my" )8 11 +(FzR -JijJ)812 , (1)
cp=(Fy -my" )8 21 +(FzR -JijJ)822 ,

where J =Jo + mR2 is the moment of inertia of the motor with respect to its base.
The coefficients of Eqs. (1) are found by the Vereshchagin's rule:
8 11 = 4/ 3/(9EJ x )' 8 12 = 8 21 = 2/ 3/(9EJ x ) , 8 22 = 13/( 3EJx ) .
Setting Fy =F, =0 and substituting y =c I sin(pt) and rp =c2 sin(pt) into Eq. (1), we
find the frequencies of free vibrations:
PI =1.43~EJx/(mI3) ,P2 =3.96~EJx/(mI3) .

The solution to Eqs. (1) is sought in the form
y =AIsinwt+A 2coswt, cp=BIsinwt+B 2coswt . (2)
Substituting expressions (2) into Eqs. (1) and taking the relation between the cen-
trifugal force components into account, we arrive at the following equations in the
constants AI' A2, R I, and R2:
(l-mw2811)AI-Iw2812BI =F o8 1p
(l-mw 28 11 )A 2-Iw2812B2 =FoR 8 12 ,
(1-Iw2822)BI-mw2812AI = Fo8 12 ,
(1-Iw 28 22 )B 2-mw 28 12A2 =FoR822 •
Solving this system, we find
Al = (Fo/ A)[ (1-Jw 28 22 )811 +Jw 28;2 ] = -104A o/227 ,
A2 = (Fo/ A)[ (1-mw 2 8 11 )812 +mw2812822] = -72A o/227 ,
BI = (FoR / A)[ (1-Jw 28 22 )8 12 +Jw 28 12 8 22 ]= -18Bo/227,
B2 = (FoR / A)[ (1-mw 28 11 )822 +mw 28;2] =5B o/227 ,

where
A=(1-mw2811)(1-Jw2822)-mJw48i2 .
As follows from expressions (2), the amplitudes of forced linear and angular
vibrations are, respectively,
y 0 =~A,2 +A; =0.467Fo/ 3/(EJ x )'

f/Jo =~B,2 +B22 =0.319Fol2 /(EJ x ).
213 Using the force method, we arrive at the equations
x, = -tJl1 m,x', +tJ'2( -m 2i"2 + p), (1)
X2' = -tJ2,m,i", +tJ22 (-m 2i"2 + p).

Substituting x, =A sine 0Jt) and x =B sine 0Jt) into Eqs. (1), we have

(l-tJ l1 m,ai)A -tJ12 m 2oiB =POtJ'2'

-tJ2,mlo 2A +(1-tJ22 m2(02)B =POtJ22 ·
Hence, the vibration amplitude for the mass m2 is
_ tJ22 ( I-tJ l1 m,(02)+m,tJi2(02
B - Po ( I-tJ l1 m,(O 2)( I-tJ 22 m2(O 2) -m,m 2tJ12 tJ2,(O4 '
where
The amplitude B is equal to zero if

tJ22(1-tJl1m,(02)+m,tJi2(02 =0.
Therefore,
(02=tJ22/[m,(tJl1tJ22-tJi2)] . (2)
The left hand side of Eq. (2) is the partial frequency for the mass m" i.e., the vi-
bration frequency for the mass m, provided that the mass m2 is fixed.
214 The vibration amplitude for the mass m2 vanishes if
(02 = tJ22 /[ m,( tJl1 tJ22 -tJi2)] '
where
215 The equations of motion derived by the force method have the form
y, =-tJl1 m,Y", -tJ12 m2i2 +tJ13 M , (1)
y 2 =-tJ2,m,i,-tJ22 m2i2 +tJ23 M .

Since y, must be equal to zero, Eqs. (1) are reduced to
tJ'2 m2Y"2 =tJ13 M , Y 2 =-tJ22 m 2i2 +tJ23 M (2)
Substituting Y2 =A sine 0Jt) into Eqs. (2), we arrive at the equations

-alol2 m2A =013M , (1-022 m2m2 )A =023M ,

which give the condition of zero vibration amplitude for the mass m l :
m2=013/[m2(022013-023012)] .
216 A position of the system is shown in Fig. 283, with the mast substituted by a
rod. The coordinates of the mass m l can be expressed in terms of the angle rp and
the displacement of the mass m2 :
Xl =x 2 +1 I sincp, Yl =ll(l-coscp) .
To set up the equations of small vibrations of the masses m l and m2, we use the
Lagrangian method. Writing out the kinetic and potential energies of the system,
T=m~~~+m~~~+m~:~,
II =mlg (l-coscp)+cx: /2,
where c =3EJjt is the bending stiffness of the rod, we arrive at the equations of
motion
(ml +m 2).i"2 +cx 2+mll/p=Fosinmt , (1)
m/ lx· 2+mII121p+mlglICP=O.
Substituting x 2 =A sin( mt) and rp =B sin( mt) into Eqs. (1), we find the vibration
amplitude A for the mass m2 :
A =(1/ L1)PO(gll-112m2)ml '

where LI is the determinant of the algebraic system corresponding to Eqs. (1). The
amplitude A goes to zero as 0/ ~ gill' where (gll/12 is the vibration frequency of
the pendulum in the case of the mass m2 fixed.
217 To set up the differential equations of small vibrations of the system, we use
n
the Lagrangian method. The angular velocity of the disk is =q + LIn, where
q is the steady-state angular velocity and Lln= rp is an additional angular veloc-
ity due to vibrations.
Both the vibrating masses m are displaced by the interval x from their dynamic
equilibrium positions at the distances 1from the rotation axis. The kinetic and po-
tential energies of the system are
T =J(no+L1n)2 /2+2m [(no +L1nt(t +X)2 +X 2]/2,

TI=cqi /2+2c J(xo+x /2, t
where 1=lo + Xo and Xo is the spring elongation under steady rotation. In this case,
the torque M serves as a generalized force. The differential equations of motion
are derived from the Lagrange equations of the second kind:
.. ap 4mnol· M .
rp+ J +2m1 2 + J +2m1 2X = oSIDWf
:i" - 2nolip+(c J /m -tio~ =0.

We seek for the solution to these equations in the form rp =A sin( liJt) and
x =B sin(liJt). As a result, we arrive at a system of algebraic equations, which has
the solution
Fig. 284.
where L1 is the determinant of this system. The damper parameters for which the
vibration amplitude vanishes are determined by the relation 0/ =(c/m) - il,/ .
Therefore, the damping takes place if the frequency of the disturbing torque is
equal to the eigenfrequency of the mass m supported by a spring on the disk ro-
tating at a constant angular velocity .q.
218 A modified design of the Pringle damper is shown in Fig. 284. In this case,
the springs have preloads (cIXo) so that the masses m will be motionless relative to
the disk until the centrifugal m1o.q.2 is less than the preload, i.e., m1o.q.2 < c l xo'
219 For forced vibrations with a frequency (j) to be damped, the eigenfrequency p
of the pendulum on the disk must be equal to (j). In the case under consideration,
p = .q(bll)ll2. Therefore, the pendulum parameters must satisfy the condition
(j)= .q(bll)ll2.
220 The differential equations of forced vibrations of the system have the form
YI=-81ImlY'I+812(-m2Y'2+P)' (1)
Y 21 =-82I m l Y'1 +822 (-m 2i2 +p),

where ~I = ~2 = ~I = tl(3EJ), ~2 = 23t/(l2EJ), m l = 2m, m2 = m, and
P = Po sin(OJt). We assume that GJk = 0.8EJ,. Substituting YI = AI sin(OJt) and
Y2 =A2 sin(OJt) into Eqs. (1), we find the forced-vibration amplitudes
Al = l.085Po13 /(EJx )' A2 = l.085 Pol 3 /(EJ x ) •
The forces at the mass points are

FI =-mlY'1 =2mA l co 2 sinwt = O.8Posinwt ,
F2 =P -m 2Y'2 ={Po+A 2co 2m )sinwt =2.94Posinwt .
The cross section passing through the clamped end is the most critical section at
which the magnitudes of bending and torsional moments are, respectively,
Mb=(F\O+F2o)1 =3. 74Pol ,Mt =F2ol =2.94Pol .
According to the maximum shearing-stress theory, the equivalent stress in the
critical cross section is
O'eq =(l/Wx )~M;+Mt2 =4.75Po/Wx '

where W, =m/132 is the modulus of bending resistance for a rod of a circular
cross section. As follows from the strength condition O'eq < O'/n" the allowed dis-
turbing-force amplitude is equal to Po ~ 106 N.
221 This problem is solved in much the same way as Problem 210. Since ~I =~2
=l/(GJ p) and ~2 =2~1 =2l/(GJp ), the steady-state vibration amplitudes for the
disks are equal to AI =- ~IMo and A2 = ~#o' The maximum torques acting on the
shaft are

The corresponding torsional moment diagram is shown in Fig. 285. The maxi-
mum shearing stress and the safety factor are, respectively,
'max =M /(O.2d 3) =4Mo/(0.U 3)= 100MPa,
max
222 The equations of forced vibrations are similar to the equations of free vibra-
tions considered in Problem 215 except for the right hand side of the fourth equa-
tion which now contains the disturbing torque M. Substituting (fJi =Bi sin( wt) into
these equations, we obtain
(c -J( 2)B I -cB 2 =0, -CBl +(2c -J( 2)B2 -CB3 =0,
-cB 2+(2c -J( 2)B3 -CB4 =0, -CB 32 +(c -2J( 2)B4 =Mo'
Solving these equations, we find the following angles of torsion: B, = 0.373 Mrlc,
B2 =9.274 Mrlc, B3 =- 0.841 Mrlc, and B4 =- 0.352Mrlc. Hence, the amplitudes of
torsional moments are
Ml2 =c(B l -B 2 )=O.l02Mo , M 23 =c(B 2-B 3)= 1.112Mo '
M34 =C(B3 - B 4)=-1.193M o ,
with Mmax = IM341.
223 This problem is solved just as Problem 222. The amplitudes of forced vibra-
tions and of torsional moments are, respectively, B, =3.08 Mrlc, B2 = 1.135 Mrlc,
B3=- 0.1 Mrlc, B4 = - 0.02 Mrlc, and M'2 = 1.945 Mo' M23 = 1.235 Mo'
M34 = - 0.19 Mo' The maximum shearing stress in the shaft is 'max = Mm.lWp
=1.945 MJWp'
224 A deflection of the system from its equilibrium position is shown in Fig. 286a.
The elongations of the upper and lower links are, respectively,
,,1l] =R]rp]-R 2rp2' ,,1l2 =-R]rp]-R 2rp2 .
Additional stresses in the links can be found from the relations Litl =Liu/fE and
Lit2 =Lia;lIE (see Fig. 286b). As follows from the equilibrium condition for the
pulleys,
J/p] + R]F (,,10'] - ,,10'2) = 0, J 2q,2 + R2F (,,10'2 - ,,10']) = M ,

or 0; = 0'0 - 0.0269 Mo sin(mt) and u2 = 0'0 + 0.0269 Mo sin(mt). The stress in one of
the links is equal to zero if Mo =73.5 N m.

226 The differential equations of motion of flywheels 2 and 3 have the form
J 1iP1 +c 1(jJ1 - M f =M 0 sinOJt , (1)
J 2iP2 +C 2(jJ2 +M f =0.

Here, CfJ1 and CfJ2 are the rotation angles; C1CfJI and C2 CfJ2 are the elastic forces; and Mf
is the moment of friction forces between the flywheels, which is related to the
pressure Pn by the equation
Mf = J,UPnfXlF .
F
Here, F is the contact surface area, Pn = N/F, P is the radial coordinate of a surface
element dF, N =No + &/ is the total pressing force, No = t5r1 ~ I is the preload of the
spring, and &/ is a dynamic contribution to the pressing force. The shaft rigidity is
c I = GJJII = mlI4G/(32IJ
The pressure P. varies periodically with f/Jr We now find a relation between f/J2
and &/. Since the spring length determined by the preliminary contraction Do is
independent of the angle f/J2' the displacement equations can be written out as
8 1P + LiN8" = 0, 8 2P + LiN 8 21 = ffJ2 . (2)
Here, ~p and ~ I are the spring contractions due to the external torque M and the

spectively:

The differential equations of small vibrations follow from these expressions:

231 Since the vibration damping in the system under consideration is disregarded
(see Problem 230), the critical velocities of travel correspond to resonances, i.e.,
V*I = IrPl2n and V*2 = IrPf2n, where PI and P2are the eigenfrequencies.
232 If the car considered in Problem 198 moves on a rough road, its tires have ad-
ditional contractions hI and hr Consequently, the expression for the potential en-
ergy of the car coincides with that found in Problem 198 except for the two last
terms which must be substituted by C(YI - h)2/2 + 2C(y2 - h2)2/2, where
hi ~ hO( I-cos 2~t). h, ~ hO(1- cos 2n(vt ~ a +h )J

The differential equations of motion coincide with those derived in Problem 198

233 The differential equations of motion for the total mass m =mo + mJl - tit) of
the vessel and liquid are

where e is the deflection of the mass m from its equilibrium position. Denoting the
total mass at t =0 by min =mo + m1 and introducing the dimensionless time ,,= t/t1•
we rewrite these equations in the form

234 The differential equations of motion were derived in Problem 178:

Under the initial conditions given, the solution to this system has the form

rp=20Jt/29m 1-20J Sin(P2t )/29m/P2'
where P2 = (29c/5myl2.
The motion of the center of gravity is described by the equation
Uo=U +rpl /4 =2SJt/29m +4J Sin(P2t )/29mp2'
The inertial forces acting upon the load are
F =-mu'O=4JP2sin(P2t)/29,

The bending moment is maximal in cross section A of the rod (Fig. 288):

235 The differential equations of motion of the flywheel and ring are
JiPl +a 1(tPl-tP2)+C 2rpl =Mosinmt,

where qJl and qJ2 are the rotation angles. Solutions to these equations can be pre-
sented in the form
rpl =Aj sinmt + B j cosmt , rp2 =A2 sinmt + B2 cosmt
Substituting these expressions into the equations, we find

237 The driver's seat position at a moment of time is shown in Fig. 289. The dif-
ferential equation of motion of the mass m is

under zero initial conditions. As a result,
(P2 +2np + P;'2(P )-(2np + p;)Y1(p )=0,
(2np +P;'2(P )-(2np +P;Pt2't(p )=-Pt2yo(p).
Consequently, the transfer function relating a perturbation (input) to the mass

2.3 Critical States and Vibration Stability
238 The center of gravity of the disk at an arbitrary instant t is specified by the
vector r (Fig. 290). To describe the disk motion, we use the Lagrange equations of
the second kind. The kinetic energy of the disk is
T =m(v;+v:)j2+Jooi/2, (1)
where Vx and Vy are the x- and y-components of the velocity of the disk center and
10 is the moment of inertia with respect to the axis perpendicular to the disk plane
and passing through the center (point OJ
The velocity of the center of gravity is specified by the vector v:
i j k
v =i i +j y +[ mx r ], [m x r ] = 0 0 m
x y 0
Here, i, j, and k are the unit coordinate vectors. Hence, the velocity components
can be presented as the scalar products:
vx =(v .j )=i -U?)! ,v y =(v -j)= Y +M (2)

The bending-strain energy of the shaft is
II =cr 2/2 =c (X 2+ Y 2)/2 , (3)
where c =6EJIt is the stiffness of the shaft. Substituting Eqs. (1)-(3) into the La-
grange equations
dOL OL dOL OL
----=0 ----=0
dtOi at 'dtry iY '
with L = T - 17, we arrive at the equations of small vibrations of the disk relative
to the rotating coordinate system:
i"+(p;-m2)x -2i1?Y =0,
•• () 2 2
Y + Po - ()) y + 2M = 0 ,
,
.
where P02 = elm. Taking x = A exp(ipt) and y = B exp(ipt), we obtain the charac-
teristic equation
(Po2-m 2) -P 2 -2mip (2 2 2)2 2 2
2mip (Po2-m 2) -P 2= Po -()) -P -4(0 P =0.
Hence, the two eigenfrequencies are PI = Po - OJ and P2 = Po + OJ.
239 In the rotating coordinate system yO 'x, the disk center of gravity (point 0) is
specified by the vector r (Fig. 291): r =r l + e, where r l is the displacement of the
shaft axis. The relative position of points 0' and 0 1 ' shown in Fig. 291 corre-
sponds to the case of OJ < OJ, (see Problem 93), when the steady-state equilibrium
condition is satisfied:
(1)
y
x
Fig. 290.
y x
Fig. 291.
In the case of m> m., Eq. (1) takes the form mm\ = c(xo+e).
If the motion of the disk is stationary, the vectors r and r I are collinear since the
points 0", 0, and 0 1 are on the straight line O"x. The angle rp determines small
deflections of the vector e from the 0" x axis, while the coordinates x and y of the
disk center of gravity determine its small displacements relative to the rotating co-
ordinate system.
The kinetic energy of the system and the bending-strain energy of the shaft are
T =m(v; +v n/2+Jo(m+ipt /2 ,
II =cr 2/2=C[(X -e COSqJ)2 +(Y -e SinqJt]/2
where V x =i - C0l , v y = y + cux , (see Problem 238) and 10 is the moment of

inertia with respect to the point o.
In the moving coordinate system xO'y, the disk center of gravity (point 0) is
specified by the three independent variables x, y, and rp. Consequently, substitut-
ing these expressions into the Lagrange equations, we arrive at the three equations
m(X- -co/ )-mm(y +cux )+c(x -e COSqJ)=O, (2)
m(Y- +aIi )+mm(i -C0l )+C(Y -e sinqJ) =0,

JofiJ+n(x -e cosqJ)e sinqJ-C(Y -e sinqJ)e cosqJ= O.
Since the vibrations under consideration are assumed as small, we can take
x =Xo + XI' y =Yl' cosrp ~ 1, sinrp ~ rp, and XI rp ~ YI rp ~ O. In this case, we suppose
that the X axis is in the direction of the straight line passing through the points 0",
0, and 0 1• Eliminating from Eqs. (2) the equations of equilibrium in the steady-
state regime, we obtain
i"1 +(p; -al)x 1- 2mi 1 =0,

ji 1 +(p; -al)y 1 +2Cl?Y 1 - p;erp=O,

where P02 =elm and PI 2 =cello. It should be noted that these equations are valid
both for 0) < 0). and for 0) > 0),.
240 The bending stiffnesses of the shaft in the directions of the x- and y-axes
(principal axes of inertia) are denoted by Cx and cy" The kinetic energy of the sys-
tem .has the same form as that in Problem 238, and the potential energy is
II=c xx 2/2+c y y 2/2.
In the rotating coordinate system, the differential equations of small vibrations
have the form
i" +(k} -ai)x -2Cl?Y =0,
ji +(k: _m2)y +2mi =0,

where kx2 =clm and ky2 =clm.
Taking x =A exp(ipt) and y =B exp(ipt), we obtain the equation
P 4 _ P 2 (kx2 +k: +2m2)+(kx2 -m2)(k: _m2)= °,
whence,
k 2+k2 +2m 2 (k2 _k2)2

P 1,2 =,1V x y2 +,1 x y +2m2(k2+k2)
V 4 x y
The motion of the disk is stable provided that the frequencies PI and P2 are real-
valued. If PI •2 are complex conjugate numbers, i.e., PI ,2 =± iA, the solution is pro-
portional to the function exp(A,t) which increases infinitely with time. In this case,
the vibration amplitude for a certain angular velocity v. should grows infinitely,
and, therefore, small vibrations become unstable. Such an angular velocity is re-
ferred to as a critical velocity.
Equation (2) have complex conjugate roots if
r--------------------
kx2+k2y +2m2 <

(k2x _k2)2
y
+8m2(k2x +ky2)
Whence, kx ~ 0). ~ kyo It follows from these inequalities that there is a range of
critical angular velocities.
241 As in the case of Problem 238, it is convenient to solve the problem in the ro-
tating coordinate system. However, the extra term ~ = mgY I should be added to
the expression for the strain energy considered above, with YI being the coordinate
of the center of gravity in the fixed coordinate system XPIYI (Fig. 292). In the ro-
tating coordinate system xOly,
Fig. 292.
III = mg (x sinwt + y coswt) .

The total potential energy is
Il=c(x2+y 2)/2+mg(x sinwt+y coswt) ,
where c = 2End'/4t The kinetic energy is given by the same expression as in
Problem 238. The differential equations of motion have the form
.i"+(k2-m2~ -2ll?Y +gsinwt=O, (1)
ji +(k2 _m2)y +2mi + g coswt =0,

where k = elm.

The solution to Eqs. (1) is sought in the form x = A sine lOt) and y = B cos( lOt).
Substituting these expressions into Eqs. (1), we arrive at an inhomogeneous sys-
tem of equations in A and B, which has the solution A =B =-glf.
The critical angular velocity is found from the solvability condition for the ho-
mogeneous system: m. = kIl.
242 The differential equations of motion relative to the rotating coordinate system
(see Problem 241) are
.i" +( kx 2 -al)x -2£0/ = -g sinwt ,
ji +( ky 2 _m2)y +2mi = g coswt ,

where kx2 =4Ebh3/(mP) and k/ =4Ebh3/(mP). Substituting x =A sine lOt) and
y =B cos( lOt) into these equations, we find the amplitudes of steady-state vibra-
tions:
The critical angular velocity of the roller is

01= k}k:/[2(k +k:)].

In addition to this value, there is the range of critical angular velocities found in
Problem 240.
243 When the bent roller rotates about the AB axis, the inertial forces acting upon
the disk are perpendicular to its axis (Fig. 293). In this case, the total force of in-
= =
ertia acting upon an element dm is dF dmolr,. Because r, r + y, the force dF
can be presented as a sum: dF =dF, + dF2, where dF, =dmo/y and dF2 = dmolr.
The force dF, is directed along the y axis. The moment Mx of the force dF2 with
respect to the x axis impedes the disk's rotation. Since the rotation angle about the
x axis is small,
where J is the moment of inertia about the rotation axis.

Therefore, the roller is subjected to the force F, and moment Mx'
The displacement equations for the attachment point of the disk are found by
the force method:
(I-Ollm01 2)y +012 012Jrp=O, (1)
021m012y -(I+02201 2J)rp=O,
Fig. 293.
where ~! = tl(3EJ), ~2 = ~! = - tl(2EJ), ~2 = l/(EJ), and Jx = ntfl64 is the mo-

ment of inertia of the roller cross section. The equation for the critical angular ve-
locity follows from the solvability condition for system (1):
co4+ 12EJx (m12 _JJC02_~(EJx)2 =0. (2)

Jml 3 3 Jm 12
Whence,
2
co 2 = 6EJ x (J _ m1 3J+ [ 6EJ x (J _ m1 J]2 +~(EJx )2 (3)
Jm13 3 Jm13 3 Jm 12
The second root of Eq. (2) corresponds to imaginary values of the angular veloc-
ity.
If the moment of inertia of the disk can be disregarded, i.e., the disk is treated
as a point mass, the critical angular velocity is given by Eq. (2) with J ~ 0:
co 2=~1/(m811) =~3EJx /(mI 3) . (4)

The numerical values of lO. evaluated by formulas (3) and (4) are equal to 165
and 130 lis, respectively. Thus, the gyroscopic effect results in increasing the
critical angular velocity.
244 The critical angular velocity lO. evaluated with and without allowance for the
gyroscopic effect is approximately equal to 138 and 127.8 lis, respectively.
245 The critical angular velocity lO. evaluated with allowance for the gyroscopic
effect is approximately equal to 173 lis. If this effect is disregarded, lO.
~ 158.6 1/s.
246 The forces acting on the disk are shown in Fig. 294, where r! is the roller de-
flection, e is the eccentricity of the disk center of mass, Fe! =-crt is the elastic
force acting on the disk, and M m is the total attractive force due to the magnets.
According to the d' Alembert principle, the differential equations of motion in
the case of constant angular velocity of the disk have the form
:i" + p 2X =ep 2 cosOJ{ + L1Fm , (1)

two critical angular velocities

247 The plate has three degrees of freedom: the vertical displacement z and the
two angular displacements ({J and (). If the angle () of attack is nonzero, an aerody-
namic lifting force appears. In this case, vertical displacements of the plate cause
elastic forces of the springs, with the net force

Equation (3) is independent of Eqs. (1) and (2) and allows us to find the fre-
quency of angular vibrations about the x axis:
p =h~(Cl +c 2 )/(4Jx ) •
In order to find the remaining two frequencies, we substitute z =A exp(ipt) and

()= B exp(ipt) into Eqs. (1) and (2). As a result, we arrive at a homogeneous sys-
tem of algebraic equations with the determinant

For the roots of characteristic equation (4) to have negative real parts, its coef-
ficients must be positive (for a biquadratic equation, this condition is necessary
and sufficient):

Under these conditions, vibrations of the plate are stable.

248 Vibrations of the plate are stable provided that the real parts of the roots of
characteristic equation (4) derived in Problem 246 are negative. For this condition
to be met, the coefficients a, and a2 must be negative.
The values of the aerodynamic force F for which the coefficients a, and a2 are
equal to zero are critical; whence, the critical velocities v are determined by the
conditions a, = 0 and a2 = O. Substituting the numerical values into these condi-

tions, we find v., =32.6 mls and v'2 =73 mls.
249 If the level flight of the aircraft is perturbed weakly, the equations of motion
derived by the d' Alembert method take the following form (Fig. 295):
F j +L1FI +L1F2 +Rrp=O, (1)
M j +AM I -L1F21 =0, (2)

where Fj and Mj are, respectively, the inertial force and the moment of inertia with
respect to the axis perpendicular to the plane of the figure and passing through the
point 0'.
We now find the increment of the angles of attack, Lla, and LI~: Lla, = rp-
dylvdt, where dylvdt is the angle of downwash. For small rp and y, the vertical dis-
placement of the tail unit is y, =y - rpl. Therefore, the increment Lla2 can be as-
sumed as dependent on only the angle of downwash:
Lia 2=C 2(ipl- Y)jv

where LtVy = dy/dt. Taking LtVy = A exp(AJ) and rp = B exp(At), we arrive at the
characteristic equation

a2 -C 3mv 2+C 2/2(C I+C 2)]/(Jmv 2),
a3=[(C I +R )(C 3-C 2/)-C 3(C I+C 2)]/(Jmv).
The necessary condition of stability of the unperturbed motion is aj > 0, while
the necessary and sufficient condition (Hurwitz criterion) is a l a2 - a3 > O.
250 The differential equations of motion of the flywheels have the form
(PI +allqJI -a12 qJ2 = PI¢JI ,
(P2 -a2l qJI +~2qJ2 =-P2¢J2·
The characteristic equation for this system is
13+(P2 - PI)12+( all +a22 - PIP2)1+( all P2 -~2Pl) =0 ,
or
13 +(10- PI)12+(21420-lOPI)1+(51000-16320PI)= 0 .
For the motion to be stable, the coefficients of the characteristic equation must
be positive, i.e., A < 10, PI < 2142, and PI < 3.1. Therefore, PI < 3.l.
The Hurwitz criterion is the sufficient condition of the stability of a motion. For
the cubic equation, Lt2 > 0, i.e., (10 - A)(21420 - lOPI) - (51000 - 16320Lt) > 0;
therefore, - 00 < PI < 34 and 480 < PI < 00. Comparing these inequalities to the
necessary condition, we find the interval of allowed values of PI: - 00 < PI < 3.1.
251 When the flywheel rotates, it slips relative to the slip-ring of the coupling.
Denoting the rotation angles of the flywheel and slip-ring by rpl nd rp2' respec-
tively, we write out the differential equation of motion of the flywheel:
J(PI +a l(¢JI-¢J2)=a¢JI '
where a I ( ¢J I - ¢J2 ) is the frictional torque.
The differential equation of motion of the slip-ring is
a l(¢J2 -¢JI)+C lqJ2 = 0 .
Taking 'PI =A exp(AJ) and 'P2 =B exp(AJ), we arrive at the equation

A+A2(Jcl-aal)/(Jal)+ACI(al-a)/(Jal)=O ,
3 (1)
which have the three roots
The motion of the flywheel is stable if

(a) A,2 and ~ are negative real numbers, or
(b) ~ and A,3 are complex conjugate numbers with negative real parts.
In these cases, the perturbed motion ('PI and 'Pz) is either aperiodic or damped vi-
bration, respectively.

The positiveness condition for the coefficients of Eq. (1) is the necessary and
sufficient condition for the roots to be negative: Je l - aal > 0 and a l - a > O. Sub-
stituting the second condition into the first one, we obtain Je l > aal > a2, i.e.,
a < (C/)Ifl = 10-2 N m s. Because the condition a < a =0.005 N m s should also be
met, the motion is stable if a < 0.005 N m s.
252 The differential equation of rotation about a fixed point has the form
dKldt =M, where K is the principal angular momentum of the top about the point
o =
(Fig. 296). In general, K 1m, where 1 is the matrix of the moments of inertia
with respect to the body coordinate axes and m is the angular velocity of the top.
The matrix J is of the form
Jx -Jxy -Jxz
J= -Jyx Jy -JyZ
-Jzx -Jzy Jz
It is known that the total derivative of a vector K is related to the local deriva-
tive taken in a moving coordinate system by the equation
dK/dt=dK'/dt+[{l}'xK] , (1)
where the angular velocity m' of the coordinate system differs, in general, from OJ:
m* m'.
If the local derivative is taken in the body coordinate system, then m =m', and
we arrive at the Euler equation d'K/dt+ [()}Xl(] =M. The components of this
equation relative to the moving coordinate system (x', y', z'), which differs from
the body coordinate system, are (the prime in the local derivative is omitted, see
Fig. 296)

dK y' jdt +Kx,{l}z' -K z ,{l}x' =M y"
dKz.fdt +K y ,{l}x' -Kx,{l}y' =Mz"
The coordinate system (x', y', z') moves in conjunction with small vibrations of
the top but does not rotate with it. The Oz' axis always coincides with the Oz axis
of symmetry. Because of this, the angular velocities OJx " OJy " and OJ,. can be as-
sumed as small.
If the angular displacements of the symmetry axis of the gyroscope are small,
the total angular velocity of the top takes the form m = ~ + m', with (in the small-
deviation approximation)

The angular-moment components are

K x' =Jx{l}x' K y' =Jy{l}y, K z =Jz{l}z,
where {l}x :::!O, {l}y :::!ip, {l}z :::!.Qo+y, and the Ox', Oy', and Oz' axes are
principal axes of inertia.
For small angles, when x' R: x and y' R: y, the moment of gravity force has the
components
M z' :::! 0, My' :::! mgx , , M x' :::! mgy , ,
where x' =lrp and y' =lB. Because of the axial symmetry, Jx =Jy , and Eqs. (2) are
reduced to the linear differential equations
J x B+Jziloip- mglB= 0, (3)
J x ip-Jz iliJ- mglrp = 0,
mz =0.
As follows from the third equation, OJ, =const =,q. The superposition of the first
two equations yields
y-i rJzilo/Jx -ymgl /J x =0 ,
where r= ()+ irp. Substituting y = C exp(At), we arrive at the characteristic equa-
tion
which has the roots
A12 =+,.ao/(2JJ±~[J,.ao/(2J,)]' -mgl /J, ] .

A perturbed motion of the top is stable if (J,Qj2J/ > mgl/Jx ' Therefore, the

critical angular velocity is ,q. = (2/J,)(mgUyn.

253 In the case of small deflections of the gyroscope axis from its vertical posi-
tion, the differential equations of motion have the form (see Problem 252)
B+Jzilip/Jx =Mx·/Jx ,
iP-Jzil/}/Jx =My·/Jx .
In the case under consideration, there are elastic forces acting on the gyroscope
together with the gravity force. A position of a point 0 1 of the gyroscope axis is
shown in Fig. 297. Substituting the expressions for the moment components
Mx' ={mg /2-2cl)IB,
My. ={mg /2-2cl)lrp,
into these equations, we obtain

The roots of the corresponding characteristic equation (see Problem 252) are

Therefore, the motion of the gyroscope is stable if

The roots of this equation are

If a2 > 0, a4 > 0, and a/ - a4 > 0, these roots can be written as
..1. 1,2 = i ~a2/2+~a; /4-a 4 '
i,e., in this case, the motion of the gyroscope axis is periodic.

The critical velocity is found from the condition a22 - a4 > 0:

255 To derive the differential equations of small vibrations we use the Langrange

The position of the system at an instant is shown in Fig. 298. The Ox, Oy, and

Assuming the angles () and as small, we find the angular velocity components

The corresponding coordinates of the centers of mass are

The eigenfrequencies PI and P2 are easily found from this equation.
256 The kinetic and potential energies of the gyro rotor and the monorail car are
given by the expressions, respectively,

The rotor acquires additional angular velocities e and ip related to angular
displacements of both the rotor and the car. The vector ip is directed along the XI
axis. The components of mare OJ x =ipcosB and OJ z =no+ipsinB.
The angular displacements () result in the angular velocity OJ y = edirected

The differential equations of motion follow from the Lagrange equations of the

[J x +m(~ +~t]tP+Jznoe-[Q(at +~)+Qolo]cp=O.

Taking the solution to these equation as () =Alcos(pt) and IP =A 2sin(pt), we arrive

The motion of the gyroscope rotor is stable if the roots of this equation are real-
valued, i.e., the necessary condition of stability is CXz2 - 4a4 > O. Therefore, the
critical angular velocity of the rotor is determined by the condition CXz2 =4a4•
257 To derive the differential equations of motion, we use the Lagrange equation
of the second kind.
The kinetic energy of the system is
T =Jx OJ~ /2+J y OJ~ j2+JoOJ; /2.
The position of the gyroscope at a moment of time is shown in Fig. 298. The
quantities {i}x' my, and {i}, are the angular-velocity components. The axes Ox, Oy,
and Oz move in conjunction with the ring but do not rotate with the rotor. There-
fore,
Fig. 299.
OJ=Qo+Q+8, OJ x =8, OJ y =Qcos8, OJ z =Qo -Qsin8.

For small 0, the kinetic and potential energies and the Rayleigh function of the
system are given by the equations
T =J>S2 /2+J y d /2+J o(Q o_Q8)2 /2,
II =cl 282 /2, R = a5 2 /2 .
Substituting these expressions into the Lagrange equation
d or o(T -II) OR
dt 05 - 08 + 05=0,
we arrive at the differential equation of motion of the gyroscope:
J+2n8+ p~5=-JoQQo/Jx '
where 2n = allx and Po' =cl'/lx·
If the eigenfrequency Po is large, the vibrations under nonzero initial conditions
are overdamped. In this case, the angle J is determined only by the right hand side
of this equation, i.e.,
Hence, the angular velocity is

Q=-&:12/(JoQo) .
258 We consider the fixed coordinate system Oxyz with its origin at the point of
contact of the disk to the plane (Fig. 299).
At a moment of time, the disk's plane makes a small angle B with the vertical,
while the tangent to the disk at the point of contact makes an angle f/J with the OIY
axis, i.e., the angles Band f/J between the disk axes and the Ox, Oy, and Oz axes
are small. The angular velocity of the disk is
Q=Qlel +Q2e2+Q3e3'
where e p e2 , and e3 are the unit vectors and Q I = -(/JcosO, Q 2 = 0, Q 3 ;:::: l.oj
are the angular-velocity components.
The angular moment about the point 0 is
K =Kle l +K 2e 2+K3e3 =-A (/Jcos(:kl +Afk2 +C.!£3 '
where A = mi/4 and C = mr212 are the equatorial and axial moments of inertia of
the disk, respectively.
!
Using the equation for angular moment, we arrive at the differential equations
A (-cPcosO)+A OcPsinO+CQO=O,
AB+CQcPcosO+A cP2cosOsinO=N zr,

CQ=-Nyr,
where Ny and N, are the reaction force components. In the case of small vibrations,
with .Q = const, we have
... ...
A O+CQ(/J=N zr, A (/J-CQO=O . (1)
We now consider the motion of the disk center of mass. The velocity of the
point 0 is
The components of the angular acceleration can be expressed in terms of the

linear and angular velocities:
WI =v· I -v2Q3+v 3Q 2' W 2 =V· 2-v 3Q I +V IQ 3'
W 3 =V· 3-v IQ 2+V 2Q 2.
Finally, the differential equation of motion of the center of mass takes the form
mw I =m(v· I -v 2Q3+V 3Q 2)=N x -mg cosO, (2)
mw 2 =m(v· 2-V 3Q I +V IQ 3)=N y ,

mw 3 = m(v· 3-V IQ2+V 2Q I)=N z -mg sinO.
Omitting the terms nonlinear in B, we rewrite the third equation in the form
-mr(B+QcP)=N z -mgO .
After the elimination of N, and d(['¥dt from Eqs. (1) and (2), we have

2.4 Approximate Methods of Evaluating the Lowest

Eigenfrequency
259 Let a static load be applied to the beam. We take the corresponding deflection
curve as its normal mode (Fig. 3(0). In this case, the maximal strain energy is
equal to the work of the applied forces, i.e.,
llmax =(1/2)I p iY i '
where Yi are the deflections. The maximal kinetic energy is

Tmax=(1/2)Ip2Yi2mi.
Equating II,.ax to Tmax' we obtain the formula for the lowest frequency:
p2=I PiYi/Im i Yi2 .
It is convenient to take the weights as static loads, i.e., Pi =mig. In this case,
p2=g'L m iYi/'L m iYi2 . (1)
To find the vertical deflections, we plot the bending moment diagrams corre-
sponding to the applied loads and to unit forces (curves 1 and 2 in Fig. 300). Mul-
tiplying these diagrams according to the Vereshchagin's rule, we obtain
Y I = llP/ 3/(9EJ x), Y 2 = 23P1l 3/( 18EJx) .
Substituting these expressions into Eq. (2), we find p =0.891(EJjmtyl2.
260 p = 0.71 (EJjmt) 112.
261 In the case under consideration, the deflection profile can be taken approxi-
mately as Y =Yosin(nz/3l). The maximal strain energy of the beam and the maxi-

and substituting these expressions into Eq. (1), we find p =0.45(EFlml)ll2.

ertia: Mi = ali'
The moment diagrams corresponding to M, and M2 and to the unit moments are
shown in Fig. 302. The angular twists are

of the mass mi' For the system considered in Problem 259, p,2 = lI(m,~) and
P22= 1I(mA2)' where ~, =~2 = 12tl(27EJJ Hence, in the case of m, =m 2=m,
P =0.865(EJjmt)'n.. If m 2 =2m, =m (see Problem 261), P = 1.06(EJjmt)'n..

p/ = 1/(m~I)' P22= 1/(m~2)' and P32= 1/(m~3)' with Oil = 3l/(EF), 022 =211(EF),
and ~3 = l/(EF). Hence, P = 0.41(EFlml)ll2.
272 For the systems considered in Problems 266 and 267, P = 0.7(EFlml)112 and
P =0.58(EFlml)ll2, respectively.

The perturbed rotation caused by a random moment of resistance LiM is de-
scribed by the equation
J dL1n/dt =Me -M r(no)-(OMr/on)oL1n+L1M

where P02 = elm. The function sinfpitl -1')] is shown in Fig. 306a for Po = 2 1/s and
tl =2 s.
For the displacement to be as great as possible at tl =2 s, the integrand should
be of fixed sign, i.e., the function P(t) should be negative for 0::; 1'::; 0.43 and
positive for 0.43 ::; 1'::; 2. Therefore, the largest xmax corresponds to the following
dependence: P( 1') =- 1 for 0::; 1'::; 0.43 and P( 1') = 1 for 0.43::; 1'::; 2 (see
Fig. 306b). In this case, the evaluation of integral (1) yields xmax =58.6 mm. In the
case of the unit step force F ( l' ~ 0) = 1, the displacement at tl =2 s is equal to
37mm.

the vibration frequency very weakly, we can take that P ~Po ~ 2 1/s. The integrand

Therefore, the time dependence R(T) desired has the form (see Fig.307b):
LlR(T) = 0.05 Ro for 0 ~ T~ 0.08, 0.185 ~ T~ 0.29, and 0.395 ~ T~ 0.5, and
LlR( T) = - 0.05 Ro for 0.08 ~ T~ 0.185 and 0.29 ~ T~ 0.395.
Integrating (1), we find Xm.. =7.5 10-3 Rr/(mp) ~ 5 cm. The corresponding force

with this function P( .), we find Amax ~ 5 mm.
292 An arbitrary solution to the differential equation of small angular vibrations at
t = tl can be presented as a vector 'PIon the phase plane (rpI' drp/dt). In the case
under consideration, the vector 'PI corresponds to a certain realization of the ran-
dom perturbing torque M, (Fig. 308a). For every angle e between 'PI and the rp-
axis, there exists a realization M,(t) such that the vector 'PI(e) be as large in mag-
nitude as possible. The resultant closed curve 'Pm..(e) on the phase plane deter-
mines the greatest possible values of rpl and drp/dt (Fig. 308a).
To find this curve, we evaluate the maximum value of the scalar product
qJe =(qJ\.e ) = qJ\ cosa+(¢J\/ po)sina ,
i.e., the projection of 'PIon the unit vector e. On finding the time dependence M,(t)
corresponding to 'Pmax ' we evaluate the vector components rpmax and drpm./dt. Using

ji +2n;i + pgy =bM, (1)
2n =ao/m ,pg =1/m811 ,b = 812 /m8 11 •

The spectral density of the torque M is given by the Viener-Khintchin formula:
S M ( {(}) =_1 oofK AT)exp( itoT)d T= (aD M 2 ) .

J( {(}2 +a
The Fourier transformation of Eq. (1) yields

.r(im)=W (im)M(im), W(im)=b/(-m 2 +2nim+ pg). (2)
Since the spectral densities Sy and SM are interrelated by the equation
S y(im) = fv (im )1 S M(im) ,

the variance of vertical displacement of the mass m is given by
Dy = }S y(im)dm= }G (im)dm/IA (im)12

where
G(im)=b 2DMa/tr,

This integral is given in Appendix 2 (Dy =JJ

Under steady-state vibrations, the displacement y is a Gaussian random variable
with zero mathematical expectation. According to the "three-sigma" rule,
Ymax =3 Dyll2.
The maximum normal stress in the cross section K is
O"max =R/ /WX ' (3)
where Wx is the section modulus and RI is the reaction force at the left support,
which is given by the equation
RJ=[(M /1 )+mji +a oY]/2
or, with regard to Eq. (1),
RJ=[(8 +18J2 )M -ly ]/218

The Fourier transform of this expression is

In order to evaluate the probability of survival pro;, - lTmax > 0], we should find
the probability density j(z) for the random variable z = lTy - lTmax' where 0;, and lTmax
are independent Gaussian random variables. In this case,
I (z )= exp[-(z -m z )2 /2CY; 1/(fi;cy z ) ,
where
Therefore,
p[z >0]= Jr(z)dz =0.5+P]exP(-p2/2)dP/& ,

o 0
where flo = m/o; > O. This is the tabulated error integral. The greater the probabil-
ity P the more reliable the system.
298 In contrast to Problem 297, this is a statically indeterminate problem: the re-
actions cannot be determined from the equilibrium equations because the number
of the reactions to be found is greater than the number of the equations. We now
consider one of possible methods of solving such problems.
We substitute a constraint (for example, the right hinge) by an explicit reaction
force R (see Fig. 310). Using the force method, we arrive at the equation of small
vibrations of the mass,
Y = 0 11 (-mi -aoy )+012R +013 M . (1)
One more equation follows from the condition that vertical displacements of the
point k should be equal to zero:
Yk =0 21 (-mi -aoy )+022 R +013 M =0. (2)
Eliminating the reaction R from Eqs. (1) and (2), we arrive at the equation
i +2nj + p~y =bM ,
where
2n =ao/m, p~ = 022/ m.t1 , b =.t1j.t1 ,
.t1 = 0 11 0 22 -012 0 21 , .t11 = 0 130 22 -012 0 23 .
This equation is similar to Eq. (1) of Problem 297 so that the subsequent cal-
culations coincide with those made above.
299 The differential equation of small vertical vibrations of the mass m has the
form
y M I

where 2n = ajm and Po2 =elm. The Fourier transformation of these equations

The spectral densities Sy and Sh are interrelated by the equation

h (im) ,
where

r' 1m = _m 2 +2nim+ p;
The variance of vertical displacement y
coincides with the integral 13 given in Appendix 2. The mathematical expectation

my is equal to zero since mh = O.
The probability density of the Gaussian random variable z =..1- y is
f(z) = expl- (z - mzY/2(7; V(.J27r(7z) ,
/& ,
Therefore,
p[z >0]= }r(z)dz =0.5 + P1exp(-p2 /2)dP

where Po =mia,.
300 Using the force method, we arrive at the differential equations for torsional
vibrations of the disks (see Problems 168 and 169)
fIJI = -811 J/PI -812 J/P2 +812 M ,
flJ2 = -82I J/PI- 8 22 J /P2 +822 M .
The Fourier transform of these equations is
'PI = m2 ( 8 11J I'P1 +812 'P2)+812 M" ,
'P2 =m2(82IJ I'P1 + 8 22 'P2) + 8 22 M" .
Therefore,
(1)
where
WI = 8 12 /.t1, W 2 = [822 +J l m2(8 12 8 21 -811 8 22 )]I.t1,
.t1 = (1-J I8 11 m2)( I-J 28 22 m2)-J/2812821m4 .
The torque Mo at the restraint is
M o=J/PI+ J /P2+ M .
Substituting expressions (1) into the Fourier transform
Mo=-m2JI'PI-m2J2'P2+M,
we find
M"o{im)=W 3(im)M(im), W3 = I-m 2{JWI +J JV2)· .
The spectral density and variance of the torque Mo are given by the equations
00
SMo{m)=r3/ 2S M(m), DMo = frvlSM(m)dm.

-00
The greatest possible value of Mo is MOmax =3 DMO I12 •

The tangential stress in the shaft is independent of the coordinate z within the
range from the restraint to the first disk, with its greatest value at fixed z given by
Tmax =MrlWpo where Wp =1tcf/16. The spectral density and variance of Tmax are
Srm..{m)=fv3/ 2S M(m)jwp2, Drmax =DMjWp2

The normal distribution of z = T, - Tmax has the form
where
mz =mrs , O'z =~O'; +0';

Therefore, the probability of survival is
p[z >0]= Jr(z)dz =0.5+PJexP(-p2/2)dP/& ,

o 0
where Po =mj 0;.
301 The differential equations of small vibrations of the antenna, derived by the
force method, have the form (see Fig. 311)
Y =-Oll(mj" +a.Y )-OI2J ijJ+OllF , (1)
tp=-021(mj" +a.Y )-022JijJ+022 Fl I.

At the moment of time !J.t, the velocities dy(!J.t)/dt and dtp(!J.t)/dt are finite,
while y(!J.t):::: 0 and tp(!J.t):::: O. To find dy(!J.t)/dt and dtp(!J.t)/dt, we integrate
Eqs. (1) between 0 and !J.t:
LIt
Jy dt =( -ollmy -Ollay -J012~)I: +OllJF ,

o
LIt
ftpdt = (-02I my -021ay -J022~)I:t +022 J Fi l·

o
Taking into account that yeO) = tp(0) = dy(O)/dt = dtp(O)/dt = 0 and omitting the
small terms y(!J.t) and tp(!J.t), we arrive at the system of algebraic equations
0llmy (Lit )+OIJ~( Lit) = OllJF ,
02l my (Llt)+022J~(Llt)=022JFII.
Therefore, dy(!J.t)/dt =a/F and dtp(!J.t)/dt =air
For t ~!J.t, the differential equations of free random vibrations of the antenna
have the form
y =-Oll(mj" +a.Y )-OI2J ijJ, (2)
tp=-021(mj" +a.Y )-022J ijJ.

If the time is measured relative to !J.t, the initial conditions are yeO) = tp(0) =0,
dy(O)/dt =a/F , and dtp(!J.t)/dt =air
System (2) can be written out as
At +BY +EY =0, (3)
where
On introducing new variables z, =dYldt, Z2 =Y, and the four-column Z =(z,; Z2)'
we reduce Eqs. (3) to a system of first-order differential equations
i+DZ=O,D=~-IB A-IE
I-E 0
Therefore, Z(t) =K(t)Zo' where K(t) =exp(-Dt) and Zo = {dy(O)/dt,dtp(O)/dt,O,Q}.
Then, tp(t) =Zit) =K4,dy(O)/dt + K42dtp(O)/dt =b(t)Jp with b(t) =K4, a, + K42 ar
The mathematical expectation and standard deviation of the deflection angle rp are,
respectively, mf{J = b(t)mJ and af{J = b(t)a,. Therefore, according to the "tbree-
sigma" rule, rpmn =mf{J + 3af{J =b(t)(mJ + 3a,). The moment of time t' at which the
angle rpmax attains its maximum is found from this equation:
max[ qJmax] =b (t *)( mJ + 30-J )
