Static force analysis.
If components of a machine accelerate, inertia is produced due to their
masses. However, the magnitudes of these forces are small compares to the
externally applied loads. Hence inertia effect due to masses are neglected. Such
an analysis is known as static force analysis
•What is inertia?
•The property of matter offering resistance to any change of its state of rest or of
uniform motion in a straight line is known as inertia.
conditions for a body to be in static and dynamic equilibrium?
• Necessary and sufficient conditions for static and dynamic equilibrium are
Vector sum of all forces acting on a body is zero The vector sum of the moments
of all forces acting about any arbitrary point or axis is zero.
Static force analysis and dynamic force analysis.
• If components of a machine accelerate, inertia forces are produced due to
their masses. If the magnitude of these forces are small compared to the
externally applied loads, they can be neglected while analysingthe mechanism.
Such an analysis is known as static force analysis.
•If the inertia effect due to the mass of the component is also considered, it is
called dynamic force analysis.

D’Alembert’s principle.
•D’Alembert’s principle states that the inertia forces and torques, and the external
forces and torques acting on a body together result in statical equilibrium.
•In other words, the vector sum of all external forces and inertia forces acting
upon a system of rigid bodies is zero. The vector sum of all external moments
and inertia torques acting upon a system of rigid bodies is also separately zero.
•The principle of super position states that for linear systems the individual
responses to several disturbances or driving functions can be superposed on
each other to obtain the total response of the system.
•The velocity and acceleration of various parts of reciprocating mechanism can be
determined , both analytically and graphically.
Dynamic Analysis in Reciprocating Engines-Gas Forces
•Piston efforts (F
p): Net force applied on the piston , along the line of stroke In
horizontal reciprocating engines.It is also known as effective driving force (or) net
load on the gudgeon pin.
crank-pin effort.
•The component of F
Qperpendicular to the crank is known as crank-pin effort.
crank effort or turning movement on the crank shaft?
•It is the product of the crank-pin effort (F
T)and crank pin radius(r).

Forces acting on the connecting rod
•Inertia force of the reciprocating parts (F
1) acting along the line of stroke.
•The side thrust between the cross head and the guide bars acting at right angles
to line of stroke.
•Weight of the connecting rod.
•Inertia force of the connecting rod (F
C)
•The radial force (F
R) parallel to crank and
•The tangential force (F
T) acting perpendicular to crank

•Determination of Equivalent Dynamical System of Two Masses by Graphical
Method
•Consider a body of mass m, acting at G as
•shown in fig 15.15. This mass m, may be replaced
•by two masses m1 and m2 so that the system becomes dynamical equivalent.
The position of mass m1 may be fixed arbitrarily at A. Now draw perpendicular
CG at G, equal in length of the radius of gyration of the body, kG .Then join AC
and draw CB perpendicular to AC intersecting AG produced in
•B. The point B now fixes the position of the second
•mass m2. The triangles ACG and BCG are similar. Therefore,
Turning movement diagram or crank effort diagram?
•It is the graphical representation of the turning movement or crank effort for
various position of the crank.
•In turning moment diagram, the turning movement is taken as the ordinate (Y-
axis) and crank angle as abscissa (X axis).

Partial balancing in locomotive Engines-Balancing
machines.

STATIC AND DYNAMIC BALANCING
When man invented the wheel, he very quickly learnt that if
it wasn’t completely round and if it didn’t rotate evenly
about it’s central axis, then he had a problem!
What the problem he had?
The wheel would vibrate causing damage to itself and it’s
support mechanism and in severe cases, is unusable.
A method had to be found to minimize the problem. The
mass had to be evenly distributed about the rotating
centerline so that the resultant vibration was at a minimum.

BALANCINGOFASINGLEROTATINGMASSBYTWOMASSESROTATING
There are two possibilities while attaching two balancing masses:
1. The plane of the disturbing mass may be in between the planes of the two
balancing masses.
2. The plane of the disturbing mass may be on the left or right side of two
planes containing the balancing masses.
In order to balance a single rotating mass by two masses rotating in different
planes which are parallel to the plane of rotation of the disturbing mass i) the net
dynamic force acting on the shaft must be equal to zero, i.e. the centre of the
masses of the system must lie on the axis of rotation and this is the condition for
static balancing ii) the net couple due to the dynamic forces acting on the shaft
must be equal to zero, i.e. the algebraic sum of the moments about any point in
the plane must be zero. The conditions i) and ii) together give dynamic balancing.

Introduction

•Mechanical vibrationis the motion of a particle or body which
oscillates about a position of equilibrium. Most vibrations in
machines and structures are undesirable due to increased stresses
and energy losses.
•Time interval required for a system to complete a full cycle of the
motion is the periodof the vibration.
•Number of cycles per unit time defines the frequencyof the vibrations.
•Maximum displacement of the system from the equilibrium position is the
amplitudeof the vibration.
•When the motion is maintained by the restoring forces only, the vibration
is described as free vibration. When a periodic force is applied to the
system, the motion is described as forced vibration.
•When the frictional dissipation of energy is neglected, the motion
is said to be undamped. Actually, all vibrations are dampedto
some degree.

Response to periodic forcing -Harmonic Forcing -
Forcing caused by unbalance -Support motion –
Force transmissibility and amplitude transmissibility
-Vibration isolation.

Damping
a process whereby energy is taken from the vibrating system and
is being absorbed by the surroundings.
Examples of damping forces:
internal forces of a spring,
viscous force in a fluid,
electromagnetic damping in galvanometers,
shock absorber in a car.

Damped Vibration (1)
The oscillating system is opposed by dissipative forces.
The system does positive work on the surroundings.
Examples:
a mass oscillates under water
oscillation of a metal plate in the magnetic field

Damped Vibration (2)
Total energy of the oscillator decreases with time
The rate of loss of energy depends on the instantaneous velocity
Resistive force instantaneous velocity
 i.e. F = -bvwhere b = damping coefficient
Frequency of damped vibration < Frequency of undamped vibration

Types of Damped Oscillations (1)
Slight damping (underdamping)
Characteristics:
-oscillations with reducing amplitudes
-amplitude decays exponentially with time
-period is slightly longer

Types of Damped Oscillations (2)
Critical damping
No real oscillation
Time taken for the displacement to become effective zero is a minimum
Heavy damping (Overdamping)
Resistive forces exceed those of critical damping
The system returns very slowly to the equilibrium position

Magnification Factor or Dynamic Magnifier
•Itistheratioofmaximumdisplacementoftheforcedvibration(xmax
)tothedeflectionduetothestaticforceF(xo).Wehaveprovedin
thepreviousarticlethatthemaximumdisplacementorthe
amplitudeofforcedvibration,

•If there is no damping (i.e. if the vibration is undamped), then c = 0.
In that case, magnification factor
•At resonance, = n. Therefore magnification factor,

Characteristics of Forced Oscillation
Same frequency as the driver system
Constant amplitude
Transient oscillations at the beginning which eventually settle down to
vibrate with a constant amplitude (steady state)

Characteristics of Forced Oscillation
In steady state, the system vibrates at the frequency of the driving force

Forced Vibration
Adjust the position of the load on the driving pendulum so that it
oscillates exactly at a frequency of 1 Hz
Couple the oscillator to the driving pendulum by the given elastic cord
Set the driving pendulum going and note the response of the blade
In steady state, measure the amplitude of forced vibration
Measure the time taken for the blade to perform 10 free oscillations
Adjust the position of the tuning mass to change the natural frequency
of free vibration and repeat the experiment
Plot a graph of the amplitude of vibration at different natural
frequencies of the oscillator
Change the magnitude of damping by rotating the card through
different angles
Plot a series of resonance curves

Resonance (1)
Resonance occurs when an oscillator is acted upon by a second driving
oscillator whose frequency equalsthe natural frequency of the system
The amplitude of reaches a maximum
The energy of the system becomes a maximum
The phase of the displacement of the driver leadsthat of the oscillator
by 90
Examples
Mechanics:
Oscillations of a child’s swing
Destruction of the Tacoma Bridge
Sound:
An opera singer shatters a wine glass
Resonance tube
Kundt’stubeElectricity
Radio tuning
Light
Maximum absorption of infrared waves by a NaClcrystal

Resonant System
There is only one value of the driving frequency for resonance, e.g.
spring-mass system
There are several driving frequencies which give resonance, e.g.
resonance tube
RESONANCE: UNDESIRABLE
The body of an aircraft should not resonate with
the propeller
The springs supporting the body of a car should
not resonate with the engine

Demonstration of Resonance
Resonance tube
Place a vibrating tuning fork above the mouth of the measuring cylinder
Vary the length of the air column by pouring water into the cylinder until a
loud sound is heard
The resonant frequency of the air column is then equal to the frequency of
the tuning fork
Sonometer
Press the stem of a vibrating tuning fork against the bridge of a sonometer
wire
Adjust the length of the wire until a strong vibration is set up in it
The vibration is great enough to throw off paper riders mounted along its
length

•Governors serve three basic purposes:
•Maintain a speed selected by the operator which is within the range of the
governor.
•Prevent over-speed which may cause engine damage.
•Limit both high and low speeds.
•Generally governors are used to maintain a fixed speed not readily adjustable by
the operator or to maintain a speed selected by means of a throttle control lever.
•In either case, the governor protects against overspeeding

How does it work?
•If the load is removed on an operating engine, the governor
immediately closes the throttle.
•If the engine load is increased, the throttle will be opened to prevent
engine speed form being reduced.

Pneumatic Governors
•Sometimes called air-vane
governors, they are
operated by the stream of
air flow created by the
cooling fins of the
flywheel.

Centrifugal Governor
•Sometimes referred to as
a mechanical governor, it
uses pivoted flyweights
that are attached to a
revolving shaft or gear
driven by the engine.

Mechanical Governor
•With this system, governor rpm is always directly
proportional to engine rpm.

Mechanical Governor
•If the engine is subjected to a sudden load that reduces rpm, the
reduction in speed lessens centrifugal force on the flyweights.
•The weights move inward and lower the spool and governor lever,
thus opening the throttle to maintain engine speed.

Vacuum Governors
•Located between the carburetor and the intake manifold.
•It senses changes in intake manifold pressure (vacuum).
•As engine speed increases or decreases the governor closes
or opens the throttle respectively to control engine speed.

•HuntingHunting is a condition whereby the engine speed
fluctuate or is erratic usually when first started.
•The engine speeds up and slows down over and over as the
governor tries to regulate the engine speed.
•This is usually caused by an improperly adjusted carburetor.
•Stabilityis the ability to maintain a desired engine speed
without fluctuating.
•Instability results in hunting or oscillating due to over
correction.
•Excessive stability results in a dead-beat governor or one that
does not correct sufficiently for load changes.
•Sensitivityis the percent of speed change required to produce
a corrective movement of the fuel control mechanism.
•High governor sensitivity will help keep the engine operating at
a constant speed.

Summary
•Governors are usually of the following types:
•Air-vane (pneumatic)
•Mechanical (centrifugal)
•Vacuum
•The governor must have stability and sensitivity in order to regulate speeds
properly. This will prevent hunting or erratic engine speed changes
depending upon load changes.
•Small engine governors are used to:
•Maintain selected engine speed.
•Prevent over-speeding.
•Limit high and low speeds.

GYROSCOPIC COUPLE
Consider a rotary body of mass m having radius of gyration k mounted on the
shaft supported at two bearings. Let the rotor spins (rotates) about X-axis with
constant angular velocity rad/s. The X-axis is, therefore, called spin axis, Y-
axis, precession axis and Z-axis, the couple or torque axis .
