    What do you mean by two- degree freedom systems?
  • g
    What do you mean by static coupling?
  • h
    What do you mean by influence coefficients? (i) What do you mean by Whirling of Shaft? (j) Why Critical Speed of the shaft is so important?
Section BAttempt any three of the following: 10x3 = 30
  • a
    What do you mean by Vibrati ons? Classify Vibrations systems with suitable diagram
  • b
    A rotor of mass 20 kg is mounted on a shaft of 1000 mm span and 40 mm diameter in short bearings. The centre of gravity of the rotor is 0.04 mm away from the geometric centre of the rotor. If the rotor runs at 2500 r.p.m., find the amplitude, steady state vibration and dynamic load transmitted to the bearing. Take E = 200 GPa
  • c
    Explain the working of the Centrifugal pendulum absorbers i n detail with a schematic diagram
  • d
    Explain Rayleigh’s method fo r finding the natural frequency of a multi-degree system
  • e
    What do you mean by secondary critical speed?

  • a
    Derive the equation of motio n by the help of D’Alembert’s principle
  • b
    Define logarithmic decrement and show that logarithmic decrement ‘δ’ is given
  • a
    Derive an expression for the magnification factor and discuss its variation with frequency ratio
  • b
    Explain with a neat sketch th e working principle of displacement measuring instruments
  • a
    Explain the working of the torsional vibration absorber in detail with a schematic diagram
  • b
    How the natural frequency of torsional vibrations for a two -rotor system is obtained?
  • a
    Discuss Holzer’s method for finding the natural frequencies of multi-rotor vibrating systems
  • b
    Derive an expre ssion for forced vibration of multi-degree freedom systems
  • a
    A rotor having a mass of 6 kg is mounted midway on a12 mm d iameter shaft supported at the ends by two bearings. The bearing span is 500 mm. Because of certain manufacturing in accuracies, the C.G. of the disc is 0.04 mm away from the geometric centre of the rotor. If the system rotates at 250 0 rpm, find the amplitude of steady-state vibrat ions and the dynamic force tran smitted to the bearings. Neglect damping and take E = 1.96 × 10 11 N/m2. Assume the shaft to be simply supported
  • b
    Discuss the critical speed of a shaft having multiple discs
