    Exercise

    1. A 3 m high, 8 m wide single-bay single-storey frame is rigidly jointed with a beam of mass 5,000
    kg and columns of negligible mass and stiffness of EIc = 4.5×103 kNm2.
    (i). Calculate the natural frequency in lateral vibration and its period.
    (ii). Find the force required to deflect the frame 25 mm laterally.
    (iii). If a jack applied a load of 100 kN to the frame and then instantaneously released. On the
    first return swing, a deflection of 19.44 mm was noted. The period of motion was measured
    at 0.223 sec. Assuming that the stiffness of the columns cannot change, find (a) damping
    ratio, (b) the coefficient of damping (c) the effective weight of the beam; (d) undamped
    frequency and period (a) amplitude after 5 cycles

    2.
    The beam shown in figure below is loaded with an air conditioning (AC) unit at its tip. The AC
    unit produces an unbalanced force of 100kg which varies sinusoidally. When the speed of the AC
    unit is varied, it is found that the maximum steady state deflection is 20.91mm. determine;
    (i) Damping ratio (0.05%)
    (ii) The maximum deflection when the units speed is 250rpm (0.0218mm)
    Note:
    Take the following values
    • EI=1x106kNm2
    • Mass of the unit is 500kg

    3. A 4.0 m high, 7.5 m wide single-bay single-storey frame is rigidly jointed with a beam of mass
    5,000 kg and columns of negligible mass and stiffness of EIc = 4.5 x 103 kNm2. Calculate the natural
    frequency in lateral vibration and its period. Find the force required to deflect the frame 50 mm
    laterally.
    4. A machine is placed on member BC which has an unbalanced force of 500 kg which varies
    sinusoidally. Neglecting the mass of the machine, determine:

    (i) the maximum displacement when the unit‟s speed is 150 rpm;
    (ii) the speed of the machine at resonance;
    (iii) the displacement at resonance.

    5. The structure shown in figure below, supports a scoreboard at a sports centre. The claxton (of
    total mass M) which sounds the end of playing periods includes a motor which has an unbalanced
    mass of 100 kg which varies sinusoidally when sounded. Using a single-degree-of-freedom
    model for vibrations in the vertical direction, and neglecting the mass of the truss members,
    determine:
    (i) the natural frequency and period in free vibration (9.58Hz, 0.104sec)
    (ii) the damping, given that a test showed 5 cycles after a 10 mm initial displacement was imposed, the
    amplitude was 5.30 mm (12040Ns/m)
    (iii) the maximum displacement when the unit’s speed is 1500 rpm (0.0095mm)
    (iv) the speed of the machine at resonance (575rpm)
    (v) the displacement at resonance (1.38mm)
    Note:
    Take the following values:
    • For all truss members: EA = 20x103kN;
    • M = 5 tonnes;
    • Ignore the stiffness and mass of member EF.
