Table 1. Engine gearbox configuration of question 2.
Two gears are in mesh as shown in Figure 3. Gear 1 has a radius of 60 mm a radius of gyration of 46 mm and a mass of 2.5 kg; gear 2 has a radius of 180 mm, a radius of gyration 105 mm and a mass of 9.5 kg. If gear 1 has an angular acceleration of 2.5 rad/s2, determine:
a). the angular acceleration of gear 2;
b). the contact force between the two gears;
c). the external moment M1 applied to gear 1.

A shaft carries two masses at planes 1 and 2 as shown in Figure 4. Determine the magnitude and the angular position of two masses that should be added at planes 3 and 4, each at a radial position of 0.25 m in order to achieve complete balance. The planes have the characteristics given in table (where m is the mass, r is the radial position, Θ is the angular position and the reference plane is taken at plane 3)

Three masses are attached along a shaft at the locations in Figure 5, which also summarises the value of the masses and their radial angular positions. The shaft is supported at its ends by two bearings, A and B. In order to dynamically balance the shaft, an additional mass of 1.5 kg at a radial position of 0.5 m is attached to the shaft.
Determine the location along the shaft measured from bearing A and the angular position of this additional mass.

The tower of the wind turbine has a height of 50 m and a circular hollow cross-section that has an inner diameter of 0.3 m and an outer diameter of 0.5 m. The rotor and hub mass is 1.6 × 103 kg and the tower is made of steel that has a Yong’s modulus of 200 GPa. Considering the cases when the tower’s weight is ignored and when it is taken into account, determine:
a) the natural frequency of transverse vibration of the system;
b) the time response due to initial transverse displacement x0 = 0.1 m;
c) the maximum values of velocity and accelerations.

A mass of m = 10 kg is suspended on a spring and set oscillating. The amplitude reduced to 5% of its initial value after 2 oscillations. It takes 0.5 seconds to do them, determine
a). the damping ratio;
b). the natural frequency and actual frequency;
c). the critical damping coefficient and the actual damping coefficient.

A platform of mass 4.2 ×103 kg is supported by three springs, each of stiffness k as shown in Figure 8. Determine:
a). the spring’s stiffness, k, so that the natural frequency of the platform equals 2.8 Hz;
b). the natural frequency of the platform when a truck of mass 42 × 103 kg is loaded onto it.

An unbalanced centrifugal pump of mass 50 kg is supported by four springs each of 8000 N/m as shown Figure 9. If the pump operates at 1000 rev/min and the steady-state amplitude shouldn’t exceed 4 mm, determine the maximum allowable out-of-balance force and plot the relationship steady-stage amplitude vs frequency using Matlab software.

A harmonic force of F = 100 sin 3t, where F is in newtons and t is the time in seconds, is acting on a machine of mass 200 kg. It is supported by a spring and a damper as shown in Figure 10. If the spring has a stiffness of 125 kN/m and the damping ratio is ζ = 0.20, determine:
a) the undamped and damped natural frequency of the system in Hz;
b) the amplitude of the steady-state vibration.
c) use the Matlab software to plot the steady-state amplitude vs frequency relationship.

Our Service Charter
-
Excellent Quality / 100% Plagiarism-Free
We employ a number of measures to ensure top quality essays. The papers go through a system of quality control prior to delivery. We run plagiarism checks on each paper to ensure that they will be 100% plagiarism-free. So, only clean copies hit customers’ emails. We also never resell the papers completed by our writers. So, once it is checked using a plagiarism checker, the paper will be unique. Speaking of the academic writing standards, we will stick to the assignment brief given by the customer and assign the perfect writer. By saying “the perfect writer” we mean the one having an academic degree in the customer’s study field and positive feedback from other customers. -
Free Revisions
We keep the quality bar of all papers high. But in case you need some extra brilliance to the paper, here’s what to do. First of all, you can choose a top writer. It means that we will assign an expert with a degree in your subject. And secondly, you can rely on our editing services. Our editors will revise your papers, checking whether or not they comply with high standards of academic writing. In addition, editing entails adjusting content if it’s off the topic, adding more sources, refining the language style, and making sure the referencing style is followed. -
Confidentiality / 100% No Disclosure
We make sure that clients’ personal data remains confidential and is not exploited for any purposes beyond those related to our services. We only ask you to provide us with the information that is required to produce the paper according to your writing needs. Please note that the payment info is protected as well. Feel free to refer to the support team for more information about our payment methods. The fact that you used our service is kept secret due to the advanced security standards. So, you can be sure that no one will find out that you got a paper from our writing service. -
