˙ θ(0) = 10rad/s.

Assume that in the horizontal position the system is in static equilibrium and that all angles remain small. Solution: a) In addition to the coordinate θ identified in the original figure, we also define x and y as the displacment of the block and end of the bar respecively. The directions ˆı and ˆ are defined as shown in the figure. A free body diagram for this system is shown to the right. Note that the tension in the cable between the bar and the block is unknown and represented with T while the reaction force F R is included, although both its magnitude and direction are unspecified. In terms of the identifed coordinates, the angular acceleration of the bar αβ and the linear acceleration of the block aG are ˆ αβ = θ¨ k,

Solving the first equation for T and substituting into the second equation yields − (2 m x ¨ + k x + c x) ˙

Using the coordinate relations we can obtain the equation of motion as 5 m ℓ2 ¨ c ℓ2 ˙ 5 k ℓ2 θ+ θ+ θ = 0. 6 4 4 b) In the above equation the equivalent mass, damping, and stiffness are meq =

c) Evaluating the damping ratio and natural frequency we find that for the given values of the parameters ωn = 15.8rad/s, ζ = 7.91 × 10−4 . Therefore the system is underdamped and the general solution can be written as   p    p θ(t) = e−ζ ωn t a sin ωn 1 − ζ 2 t + b cos ωn 1 − ζ 2 t , where a and b are arbitrary constants used to fit the initial conditions. Evaluating θ(t) ˙ at t = 0 yields and θ(t) θ(0) = b = 0,

˙ θ(0) = −ζ ωn b + ωn

p 1 − ζ 2 a = 10rad/s,

so that the general solution becomes   θ(t) = 0.632 e−0.0125 t sin 15.8 t .

d) for this motion, find the tension in the cable connecting the rod and the block as a function of time. Assume that the system is in static equilibrium at θ = 0, and that all angles remain small. Solution: a) We identify the coordinates x and z as shown above, which are related to the angular displacement θ as: ℓ ℓ x = θ, z = θ. 2 2 An appropriate free-body diagram is shown to the right. Applying linear momentum balance on the block yields X F = m aG , (T − k x − c x) ˙ ˆ = m x ¨ ˆ.

Solution: An appropriate free-body diagram is shown to the right. Notice that the two springs are effectively in parallel, as the displacement across each spring is identical. Linear momentum balance on this block provides X F = m aG ,

or, writing this in standard form mx ¨ + b x˙ + (k1 + k2 ) x = 0. Further, the system is released from rest so that the initial conditions are x(0) = x0 = 15cm,

Solution: a) In addition to x, the displacement of the center of the disk, we identify the coordinates z and θ, the displacement across the spring and the rotation of the disk respectively. These additional coordinates are related to x as z = 2 x,

x = −r θ.

An appropriate free-body diagram is shown to the right. We note that (ˆı, ˆ) are related to the direcˆ2 ) as tions (ˆ e1 , e ˆı = cos φ e ˆ1 + sin φ e ˆ2 , ˆ = − sin φ e ˆ1 + cos φ e ˆ2 .

Angular momentum balance about the contact point C yields X M C = I C αD ,     3 m r2 ¨ ˆ ˆ = (2 r) k z + r c x˙ − m g r sin φ k θ k. 2 Eliminating the coordinates z and θ, we can write the equation of motion in terms of x as 3m x ¨ + c x˙ + 4 k x = m g sin φ. 2

Since the gravitational force has been included in the development of this equation of motion, the coordinates are measured with respect to the unstretched position of the spring. b) Assuming the system is underdamped, the frequency of the free vibrations is ωd = p ωn 1 − ζ 2 , where s r beq c keq 8k = , ζ= p , ωn = = √ meq 3m 2 keq meq 2 6km so that

c) The system is critically damped when ζ = 1, which corresponds to a damping coefficient of √ ccr = 2 6 k m. d) The system is stationary in static equilibrium, so that x ≡ x0 = constant—both x˙ and x ¨ vanish, and the equation of motion reduces to 4 k x0 = m g sin φ. Solving for x0 , the equilibrium displacement is x0 =

z1 = r1 θ,

−k2 z2 ˆı

z2 = −r2 θ.

Notice that because of these coordinate definitions, a rotation with positive θ gives rise to a negative value in both x and z2 . Likewise, we see that x = −z1 . Using the free-body diagram shown to the right, linear momentum balance on the block provides X F = m aG ,

ˆ (T r1 − k1 z1 r1 + k2 z2 r2 ) k

Eliminating the unknown tension T from these equations and using the coordinate relations, the equation of motion becomes     I + m r12 θ¨ + k1 r12 + k2 r22 θ = m g r1 . The equilibrium rotation of the disk thus is found to be m g r1 . θeq = k1 r12 + k2 r22 With this, the equilibrium deflection of each spring is found to be m g r12 , k1 r12 + k2 r22 m g r1 r2 . =− k1 r12 + k2 r22

z1,eq = r1 θeq = z2,eq = −r2 θeq

b) The general free response of the disk can be expressed as θ(t) = θeq + A sin(ωn t) + B cos(ωn t), where θeq is given above, A and B are arbitrary constants, and s k1 r12 + k2 r22 ωn = . I + m r12 The system is released with the initial conditions: θ(0) = 0, 8

˙ θ(0) = 0,

so that solving for the arbitrary constants A = 0,

B = −θeq .

Therefore the solution is m g r1 θ(t) = θeq (1 − cos(ωn t)) = k1 r12 + k2 r22

ℓ z 2 = θ = z1 . 2

A free-body diagram for this system is shown to the right. Applying angular momentum balance on the bar eliminates the appearance of the reaction force and leads to: X ˆ M G = I G θ¨ k,

Likewise, application of linear momentum balance on the block yields: X F = m aG ,   − k z2 − T ˆ = m¨ z2 ˆ Eliminating the unknown tension T and solving for z1 in terms of z2 , the equation of motion becomes: m ℓ2 ¨ c ℓ2 ˙ k ℓ2 θ+ θ+ θ = 0. 3 4 2 b) A critically damped system occurs when ζ = 1. For this system: √ 3c . ζ=√ 32 k m Solving for ccr yields: ccr =

Solution: For this system, the two springs in series may be replaced by an equivalent spring, with constant: k1 k2 1 keq = 1 1 = k +k . + 1 2 k1 k2 Therefore, the free-body diagram is shown to the right. Applying linear momentum balance to the block yields: X F = m aG ,   ¨ ˆ, keq x + b x˙ ˆ = −m x

keq x ˆ

b x˙ ˆ

which can finally be written as:

mx ¨ + b x˙ + keq x = 0. With the numerical values given above, this becomes:     3 1N 1 N x˙ + x = 0, x(0) = m, (2kg) x ¨+ 2 m/s 6m 20 10

x(0) ˙ = 0m/s.

With this, the damping ratio and natural frequency are: r √ 1 −1 3 s , ζ= . ωn = 12 4 Therefore, the system is underdamped and the general response can be written as:   x(t) = e−ζ ωn t A cos(ωd t) + B sin(ωd t) . Using the initial conditions to solve for A and B, we find: ! r √ 13 3 3 −t/8 √ t + x(t) = e cos cos 20 13 8 3

b) If the system is released from the unstretched position of the springs, what is the maximum angular velocity of the disk during the resulting motion? ˆ ˆı

m x1 k1

Solution: a) We define θ, x1 , and x2 as indicated in the above figure. In particular, x1 and x2 represent the displacement in their respective springs as measured from their unstretched position. These coordinates are related through the following transformations: x1 = −r1 θ,

11

x2 = −r2 θ.

An appropriate free-body diagram for this system is shown to the right. Notice that the gravitational force must be included to determine the equilibrium deflection in the system. To eliminate the reaction force on the disk, angular momentum balance is applied about the center, yielding: X ˆ M G = I G θ¨ k,   ˆ = I G θ¨ k. ˆ T r1 + k2 r2 x2 k Also, applying linear momentum balance to the block yields: X F = m aG ,   T − k1 x1 − m g ˆ = m x ¨1 ˆ.

−k2 x2 ˆı

G FR −T ˆ T ˆ −m g ˆ −k1 x1 ˆ

Finally, eliminating the unknown tension from these equations and using the above coordinate transformations, this single-degree-of-freedom system can be modeled with the equation:     I G + m r12 θ¨ + k1 r12 + k2 r22 θ = (m g r1 ). This equation of motion determines the equilibrium position θeq (with θ¨eq = 0) to be: m g r1 θeq = . k1 r12 + k2 r22 Therefore, the equilibrium displacements in each spring are: x1,eq = −r1 θeq =

m g r12 , k1 r12 + k2 r22

x2,eq = −r2 θeq =

m g r1 r2 . k1 r12 + k2 r22

b) Define new coordinates z1 and z2 , which measure the displacement in springs 1 and 2 with respect to the static equilibrium position, that is: z1 = x1 − x1,eq ,

z2 = x2 − x2,eq .

Likewise, let φ represent the angular displacement of the disk from the static equilibrium position: φ = θ − θeq . Therefore, the potential energy of this system can be written as: V

= =

1 1 k1 z12 + k2 z22 , 2 2  1 k1 r12 + k2 r22 φ2 . 2

Also, the kinetic energy becomes: T

= =

1 G ˙2 1 I φ + m z˙12 , 2 2  1 G I + m r12 φ˙ 2 . 2 12

If the system is released from rest at the unstretched position of the springs, then: φ(0) = −θeq = −

m g r1 , k1 r12 + k2 r22

˙ φ(0) = 0.

At this initial state, the potential and kinetic energies become: T0 = 0,

V0 =

(m g r1 )2 . 2(k1 r12 + k2 r22 )

Because this system is conservative, the total energy, E = T + V remains constant. Therefore, when the kinetic energy is maximal, the potential energy is minimal, that is:  1 G V1 = 0, T1 = I + m r12 φ˙ 2max . 2 Finally, conservation of energy implies that V0 = T1 , and solving for φ˙ max we find that: s (m g r1 )2 . φ˙ max = G (I + m r12 )(k1 r12 + k2 r22 )

Problem 9: For the system shown to the right, the disk of mass m rolls without slip and x measures the displacement of the disk from the unstretched position of the spring.

Solution: a) We define the three coordinates as shown as the figure, related as: x = −r θ,

z = −2 r θ,

A free-body diagram for this system is shown to the right. Notice that the force in the upper spring depends on z, rather than x, while the friction force has an unknown magnitude f . Because the disk is assumed to roll without slip, we are unable to specify the value of f , but instead can relate the displacement and rotation of the disk through the coordinate relations above.

z = 2 x.

The equations of motions can be developed directly with angular momentum balance about the contact point, so that: X ˆ M C = I C θ¨ k,   2 ˆ ˆ = 3 m r θ¨ k. (3k z) 2r + (k x) r + (c x) ˙ r k 2 13

Finally, writing this equation in terms of a single coordinate, we obtain:  
3 m r2 ¨ θ + (c r2 ) θ˙ + 13 k r2 θ = 0. 2 b) For an underdamped response, the frequency of oscillation is ωd = ωn this system, we find that: r 26 k c ωn = , ζ=√ , 3m 78 k m so that: ωd =

r 2

b) Find the frequency of oscillation for free vibrations of the system;

c) For what value of the damping constant is the system critically damped?

Solution: a) We choose coordinates (x1 , x2 , θ), where x1 measures the displacement of the first mass in the −ˆ direction, x2 measures the displacement of the second mass in the ˆ direction, ˆ direction. The kinetic and and θ measures the angular rotation of the wheel in the k potential energies for this system are: T

1 1 mr2 ˙2 1 m x˙ 21 + m x˙ 22 + θ , 2 2 2 2 1 1 k x21 + k x22 . 2 2

However, these three coordinates are dependent through the transformations: x1 =

r θ, 2

x2 = r θ.

Therefore, the Lagrangian reduces to:     1 7mr2 ˙2 1 5kr2 θ2 . θ − L=T −V = 2 4 2 4 14

Further, the generalized force resulting from the viscous damper becomes: Qθ = −

cr2 ˙ θ, 4

so that the equation of motion for this system can be reduced to: (7m) θ¨ + c θ˙ + (5k) θ = 0. b) For this system the natural frequency and damping ratio are: r 5k c . ωn = , ζ= √ 7m 2 35 km Therefore, the damped natural frequency becomes: r r p c2 5k ωd = ωn 1 − ζ 2 = 1− . 7m 140 km c) For a critically damped system, ζ = 1, so that we may solve for c = ccr to yield: √ ccr = 2 35 km.

Problem 11: In the figure, the disk has mass m, radius r, 2 and moment of inertia IG = mr about the 2 mass center G, and is attached to a block of mass m which rolls across the surface. If the disk rolls without slip (µ is sufficiently large), while the block moves without friction:

m

a) find the equations of motion for this system; b) for m = 2kg, b = 0.5(N · s)/m, and k = 8N/m, find the frequency of oscillation for the system. Solution: a) Let x denote the translational displacement of G in the ˆı direction, while θ denotes the ˆ direction. If T is the tension between the disk angular displacement of the disk in the k and the mass and f is the frictional force acting on the disk, the equations of motion on the disk and the mass are: (−kx − bx˙ + T + f ) ˆı = m¨ x ˆı, 2 ˆ ˆ = mr θ¨ k, (rf ) k 2 (−T ) ˆı = m¨ x ˆı. In addition, x and θ are related through the kinematic constraint: x = −rθ. 15

Eliminating (θ, T, f ) we obtain a single degree-of-freedom system on x of the form: 5m x ¨ + bx˙ + kx = 0. 2 b) From the above equation we identify the undamped natural frequency and damping ratio as: r b 2k . , ξ=√ ωn = 5m 10km Thus, the damped natural frequency is: ωd = ωn

For the given values of the parameters, this reduces to ωd = 1.264rad/s. Problem 12: We model a nonuniform beam as a singledegree-of-freedom system in the form:

x1 = 1.00m

and we find that ζ = 0.0457. With m = 1kg, the damping constant b is given as: √ b = 2ζ km = 0.183N/(m/s). We note that with m given, we can also find the period of the oscillations to be: T =

Using this constraint to eliminate θ, the equation of motion reduces to: mbar z¨ + b z˙ + k z = 0. 3 For the parameter values given above, this becomes:       2 kg z¨ + 2N/(m/s) z˙ + 4N/m z = 0. 3 For this system, the damping ratio and natural frequency can be expressed as: r √ 3k 3b ωn = , ζ = √ mbar 2 kmbar r √ 3 = 6rad/s . = 8 p b) The frequency of oscillation, ωd = ωn 1 − ζ 2 , reduces to: s √  2 3k 15 3b ωd = − rad/s = 1.94rad/s. = mbar 2mbar 2 c) If the mass of the spring is considered, it is treated as an additional equivalent mass meq = mspring /3 located at the end of the bar.

Therefore, the new frequency of oscillation is: s 2  √ 3b 3k = 3rad/s = 1.73rad/s. − ωd = (mbar + mspring ) 2(mbar + mspring )

Solution: a) The logarithmic decrement is defined as δ = ln |x2 /x1 |. In terms of this quantity and the period of oscillation T , the damping ratio and natural frequency are defined as: p (2π)2 + δ 2 δ . ωn = , ζ=p T (2π)2 + δ 2 Therefore, the stiffness and damping constants reduce to: k = m ωn2 = m

when m = 1kg, b = 12(N · s)/m, and k = 9N/m. Assume the pulley is massless and neglect the effects of gravity. Solution: a) Let x represent the displacement of mass m in the vertical direction and θ measure the angular displacement of the pulley, both measured from the static equilibrium position. If T represents the tension in the cable supporting mass m, then T = kr 2 θ, where θ is the angular displacement of the massless pulley from static equilibrium. In addition, x . As a result, in we find that θ is related to the linear displacement of mass m as θ = 2r the ˆ direction, the equation governing the motion of the mass is: m¨ x + bx˙ +

As a result, we find that the the equivalent spring constant is keq = k4 . b) The damping ratio and natural frequency are simply: r √ b b keq k = √ . , ωn = ζ= p =√ m 2 m 2 keq m km In terms of the given parameters, we find ζ = 4.0 and ωn = 3rad/s.

find the resulting solution x(t) if m = 2kg, k = 48N/m and c = 4N/(m/s). Solution: a) In terms of x, the spring and damping forces can be written as: F spring = −6k x ˆı,

F damper = −2c x˙ ˆı.

Using linear momentum balance on the block, we find that: X F = (−6k x − 2c x) ˙ ˆı = m¨ x ˆı = maG , and the equation of motion can be written in standard form as: x ¨ + (2ζωn ) x˙ +

provided c2 < 6km. c) For a critically damped system, ζ = 1, and solving for c, yields: √ ccritical = 6km. d) With these parameter values, the equation of motion reduces to: x ¨ + 4 x˙ + 144 x = 0, so that ωn = 12rad/s, and ζ = 1/6. For these values, the general solution can be written as:  √  x(t) = A e−2 t sin 2 35 t + φ , where A and φ are arbitrary constants used to fit the initial conditions. Solving for A and φ, we find: r 5 m, φ = 0rad, A= 28 so that the general solution can be written as: r  √  5 −2 t x(t) = e sin 2 35 t m. 28 Problem 17: For the single-degree-of-freedom mechanical system shown in the figure: a) determine the governing equations of motion; k

Solution: We assume that the ˆı and ˆ directions are standard orthonormal basis in the horizontal and vertical directions respectively. 21

a) The forces due to the springs in parallel and damping are: F elastic = 3k · xˆ,

F damping = b · xˆ ˙ .

With the inclusion of the gravitational force, the equation of motion for this system can be written: X F = m (−¨ xˆ) , 3k · xˆ + b · xˆ ˙  − mgˆ = −m¨ xˆ.

Taking components in the ˆ direction, we obtain the governing equation of motion: m¨ x + bx˙ + 3kx = mg. b) Dividing through by the mass m, we find: x ¨+ so that: 2ζωn =

and so we identify the damping ratio and natural frequency as: r b k √ . , ωn = ζ= m 2 km ζ = 1 corresponds to critical damping, so that: √ bcritical = 2 km = 12. b) For b = 24 we find: b ζ= √ = 2, 2 km

Therefore the eigenvalues of this system are:   p √ λ1,2 = ωn ζ ± ζ 2 − 1 = 3(−2 ± 3). √ The dominant eigenvalue is λ = −6 + 3 3, and so the time t = τ required for the amplitude of the free vibration to be reduced to within 2% of zero is: τ∼

x2 = rθ.

We define the tension in the left and right cable as T1 and T2 respectively. Thus, linear momentum balance on the two blocks, and angular momentum balance on the disk 25

Eliminating the two unknown tensions from these three equations, we find that the equation of motion (on θ) can be reduced to:     2  7mr2 ¨ cr 5kr2 θ = 0. θ+ θ˙ + 4 4 4 2

b) Examination of the above equation shows that meq = 7mr 4 . Note that this answer is not unique, but depends on the equation of motion. For example, if we had written the equation of motion as 7m θ¨ + c θ˙ + k θ = 0, the equivalent mass would be meq = 7m. c) The frequency of oscillation is given by ωd , which reduces to: r r p c2 5k 2 1− . ωd = ωn 1 − ζ = 7m 140km Problem 22: In the spring-mass-damper system shown, the block slides with no friction.

13 λ + 9 = 0, 2

which has two real solutions of the form: λ=

Thus the system has two purely real eigenvalues and the resulting system is overdamped and decays exponentially with no sustained oscillations. The general solution is given as: 9 x(t) = c1 e− 2 t + c2 e−2t . For the initial conditions x(0) = 0m, x(0) ˙ = 10.0m/s, we find that: c1 = 4m,

c2 = −4m,

and the general solution to this equation, subject to these initial conditions, becomes:     −1 −1 x(t) = 4m e−(9/2s )t − e−(2s )t . b) For this system, the damping ratio is: b . ζ= √ 2 km Thus, for a critically damped system ζ = 1, and solving for b with m = 2kg and k = 18N/m, we find: bcr = 12(N · s)/m.

If the system is critically damped, then this implies that the damping ratio is unity. Therefore, solving for b when ζ = 1, we find: √ bcritical = 6km. c) When the system is critically damped, the general solution takes the form:
x(t) = c1 + c2 t e−ωn t , while this can be differentiated with respect to time to obtain the velocity:
x(t) ˙ = (c2 − ωn c1 ) − (ωn c2 ) t e−ωn t . If the system is released from rest when a known initial displacement, then the initial conditions are (x(0), x) ˙ = (x0 , 0). Thus, returning these to the general solution, we find: x0 = x(0) 0 = x(0) ˙

Solving for c1 and c2 , the solution to these initial conditions becomes:
x(t) = x0 1 + ωn t e−ωn t , where recall that ωn =

Solution: In addition to the variable x identified in the problem statement, we also define z to be the stretch in the spring parallel with the cable system. As a one degree-of-freedom system, the variables x and z are directly related. The relative velocity across the spring can be identified as vB − v A

= z˙ ˆı, = (−x˙ ˆı) − (x˙ ˆı) ,

so that z˙ = −2 x. ˙ Therefore the kinematic relationship becomes z = −2 x.

−m g ˆ T ˆı

−k x ˆı

An appropriate free-body diagram for this system is shown to the right. Note that the unknown friction force is denoted as fr ˆı and the tension in the cable is T . Finally, examining the spring in the cable, the tension T and the displacement z are related as

T ˆı fr ˆı N ˆ −T ˆı

T = k z = −2 k x.

Applying linear momentum balance to the block yields X F = (2 T − k x + fr ) ˆı + (N − m g) ˆ = m x ¨ ˆı = m aG , and in terms of x the equation of motion becomes mx ¨ + 5 k x = fr . If the block slips then fr = −µ m g sgn(x) ˙ while is sticking occurs |fr | ≤ µ m g. 64

T ˆı

a) If the block is in static equilibrium at a displacement x = xeq , then x ¨eq ≡ 0 and the equation of motion reduces to 5 k xeq = fr , so that equilibrium is maintained provided |fr | = |5 k xeq | ≤ µ m g. This inequality is satisfied provided |xeq | ≤

µmg . 5k

b) For µ > 0, at what angle θ does the block begin to slip?

µ = 0.35, Solution: The unit directions ˆı2 and ˆ2 are defined to be coincident with the inclined plane and the coordinate x represents the displacement of the mass from the unstretched position of the spring, as shown in the figure. A free-body diagram for this system is shown to the right. Notice that the force in the upper spring depends on z, rather than x, while the friction force has an unknown magnitude f . Because the disk is assumed to roll without slip, we are unable to specify the value of f , but instead can relate the displacement and rotation of the disk through the coordinate relations above.

−k x ˆı2

N ˆ2

Therefore, linear momentum balance yields the following equations: X F = m aG ,       ¨ ˆı2 , f − k x ˆı2 + N ˆ2 − m g ˆ = m x     f − k x + m g sin θ ˆı2 + N − m g cos θ ˆ2 = m x ¨ ˆı2 . Therefore, this leads to the following scalar equations in the ˆı2 and ˆ2 directions: mx ¨ + k x = f + m g sin θ, N = m g cos θ. a) If µ = 0, then the friction forces vanishes and the first of the above equations reduces to: mx ¨ + k x = m g sin θ. The equilibrium displacement of the mass, xeq , then can be found to be: mg sin θ. xeq = k b) With µ 6= 0, an equilibrium state is maintained provided: f ≤ µ N, k x − m g sin θ ≤ µ m g cos θ.

Therefore, if the system is released from x = 0, the block begins to slide when: tan θ = µ.

c) Define z to be a new coordinate measuring the displacement of the system from static equilibrium: mg z =x− sin θ, k so that the equations of motion become: m z¨ + k z = f,

N = m g cos θ.

with initial displacement z(0) = −(m g sin θ)/k. Over one complete cycle of motion, for a frictionally damped system the amplitude decreases by a value: ∆A=−

4µN . k

Therefore, if the system comes to rest at exactly the equilibrium position, then this decrease in amplitude must exactly match the initial displacement. That is: 4 µ N m g = − sin θ = |z(0)|. |∆ A| = − k k Solving for θ:

tan θ = 4 µ.

Problem 79: For the spring-mass system with Coulomb damping: x

a) determine the governing equations of motion;

m

b) what is the period of each oscillation.

k

k µ

Solution: a) We measure the displacement of the mass from the static equilibrium of the frictionless system, i.e., µ = 0, so that the acceleration of the block is aG = x ¨ˆı. Thus linear momentum balance yields: m¨ xˆı = Fspringˆı + fµˆı + (N − mg)ˆ. The spring force is Fspring = −2kx, while the force due to sliding friction opposes the velocity and is simply: x˙ fµ = −µmg , |x| ˙ since the normal force balances the gravitational force, i.e., N = mg. If the block is stationary the magnitude of the frictional force is less than µmg. Therefore, the governing equations of motion are: m¨ x + 2kx = fµ ,

with

fµ |fµ |

˙ = −µmg |xx| |x| ˙ = 6 0, ˙ ≤ µmg x˙ = 0.

b) Coulombic damping does not effect the frequency of oscillation, which is simply: r 2k ω= . m Therefore the period of the oscillation is: T =

67

√ 2π 2π m . = √ ω 2k

Problem 80: For the spring-mass system with Coulombic damping, x is measured from the unstretched position of the spring. If the coefficient of friction is µ and the gravitational constant is g:

x I=0

k m

a) determine the governing equations of motion;

µ

b) if the system is released from rest in the unstretched position (x(0) = 0, x(0) ˙ = 0), for what values of µ will the system move;

m

c) what is the displacement (from the unstretched position) of the upper block when it first comes to rest? Solution: Notice that x describes the displacement of both masses and, since the pulley is massless, the tension in the string connecting the masses is constant, say T . Also, notice that in part c we ask for the displacement from the unstretched position of the spring, rather than from equilibrium. Therefore we include the gravitational force which will influence this result. a) With the frictional force defined as F = f ˆı, linear momentum balance on the upper and lower block yields: mx ¨ + k x = f + T, mx ¨ = m g − T, where the frictional force is defined as: x˙ f = −µmg |x| ˙ , |f | ≤ µmg,

x˙ 6= 0, x˙ = 0.

Eliminating the unknown tension T , the equation of motion is given as: 2mx ¨ + k x = f + m g, where f is defined as above and depends on the motion of the system, that is, the value of x. ˙ b) If the system is released from rest in the unstretched position, it will remain there provided the magnitude of the frictional force is less than µmg—the transition to movement occurs when |f | = µmg. Thus the system does not move is |f | ≤ µmg and x ¨ = 0. Substituting these conditions into the equations of motion we find: |f | = |kx − mg| ≤ µmg,

68

which, solving for µ with x(0) = 0, implies that the system does not move if µ ≥ 1. Therefore, the system does move when: µ < 1. c) The displacement of the upper block when it first comes to rest is: x1 =

2(1 − µ)mg . k

This can be found by either solving the equations of motion explicitly, or through a work-energy analysis. Since the initial and final kinetic energy is zero, the work done by the frictional force balances out the change in potential energy from the spring and gravity. Problem 81: For the spring-mass system with Coulombic damping, x is measured from the unstretched position of the spring. If the coefficient of friction is µ and the gravitational constant is g:

x

g m

a) determine the governing equations of motion;

k

b) if the system is released from rest, so that x(0) ˙ = 0, for what range of initial displacements (from the unstretched position) will the block come to rest when the block first comes again to rest (x(t ˙ 1 ) = 0 for t1 > 0)?

µ

Solution: a) The equations of motion can be written as: m¨ x + kx = f, where f is the force due to friction, modeled by Coulomb’s law of friction as: f

= −µmg

|f |

≤ µmg,

x˙ , |x| ˙

x˙ 6= 0, x˙ = 0.

b) If the system is released from rest, the initial displacement must be sufficiently large so that the block slides, rather than remaining at rest. Sliding does not occur if the force due to friction is sufficient to balance the elastic force, that is, µmg ≥ f = kx(0). Thus, solving for x(0) we find, that for sliding to occur: |x(0)| >

µmg . k

However, if |x(0)| is too large, the system will undergo multiple reversals as the amplitude of the motion decays. Consider the block sliding to the left (x˙ < 0), released from 69

rest with initial displacement x(0) >

µmg k .

Thus the equation of motion becomes:

m¨ x + kx = µmg, which has the general solution: 

   µmg k µmg   t + . cos x(t) = x(0) − k m k

Therefore, when the block comes again to rest at time t1 (unknown), the mass is at the position: µmg x(t1 ) = 2 − x(0). k At this point, the block sticks if and only if |x(t1 )| ≤ we find that: µmg . x(0) ≤ 3 k

µmg k .

Therefore, solving for x(0),

< x(0) ≤ 3 µmg So for a block with x(0) > 0, the allowable range for x(0) is µmg k k . Together with an identical argument for x(0) < 0 yields the total allowable range as: µmg µmg < |x(0)| ≤ 3 . k k Problem 82: For the system shown to the right, x is measured from the unstretched position of the spring. Each block has mass m and the disk has moment of inertia I and radius r. The coefficient of friction between the upper block and the table is µ. If the gravitational constant is g:

x (I, r)

k m µ

a) find the equations of motion which determine x(t); b) what is the minimum value of µ so that the system slips when release from rest with x(0) = 0;

m

c) what is the period of the free oscillations? d) if the system is released from rest, what is the range of initial displacements x(0) so that the systems comes to rest after exactly one complete cycle? Solution: We begin by defining two additional coordinates, θ, which describes the rotation of ˆ direction (clockwise), and y which measures the displacement of the disk in the −k the hanging mass in the −ˆ direction. These additional coordinates are related to the displacement of the upper mass by the constraint equations: x y = x, θ= . r 70

a) On each mass the equations of motion can be written as:     X x ˆı = maG1 , F = − k x + T1 + f ˆı + N − mg ˆ = m¨   X ˆ = −I O θ¨k ˆ = I O αD F, M O = T1 r − T2 r k   X F = T2 − mg ˆ = −m¨ y ˆı = maG2 , Notice that I O = I 6= 0, so that provided θ¨ 6= 0 the tensions T1 and T2 are not equal. Taking the components of these equations and eliminating the unknowns (T1 , T2 ), while using the constraint equations, we find that the equation of motion for this system reduces to:   I ¨ + k x = f + mg, 2m + 2 x r where f the value of the frictional force in the ˆı direction, can be written as:  ˙ −µmg |xx| x˙ 6= 0 ˙ , f= f0 , |f0 | ≤ µmg, x˙ = 0. b) The minimum value for slip is simply µmin = 0. If we would like to find the range of µ for which slip occurs, we resort to the value of f at static equilibrium. Assuming (x, ˙ x ¨) = (0, 0), the equations of motion reduce to: kx = fstatic + mg, where fstatic represents the force required to maintain static equilibrium. Solving for this quantity and using the frictional inequality, we find: |fstatic | = |kx0 − mg| ≤ µmg. Therefore, solving for µ yields: kx0 kx0 − 1 = 1 − µ≥ , mg mg

which provides a necessary condition for sticking at x = x0 . So for sliding to occur for x0 = 0, this implies that µ < 1. c) The period of oscillation for a frictionally damped system is identical to that of an undamped system. Therefore: s 2m + rI2 2π = 2π . T = ωn k d) Let δ describe the displacement of the system from equilibrium. The amplitude of oscillation will decay by a value of ∆ = 4µmg/k over one cycle of motion. Therefore, Since the system will come to rest within the range: −

µmg µmg < |δfinal | ≤ , k k 71

the initial displacement δ0 from the equilibrium in the absence of friction must be in the range: 3µmg 5µmg µmg µmg +∆= < |δ0 | ≤ = + ∆. − k k k k However, the equilibrium position corresponds to xeq = mg k , and so the allowable range of x0 is: mg 5µmg 3µmg < x0 − . ≤ k k k

b) using Lagrange’s equations, determine the differential equations that govern the motion.

m Solution: a) This system contains three masses which are each allowed to move in only one direction. The upper mass slides horizontally with displacement x1 , while the disk rotates through an angle θ. Finally, the suspended mass moves vertically and its position can be described by the coordinate x2 . However, because the disk and the suspended mass are connected by an inextensible string, their motion can be related by: x2 = rθ. So this system has only two independent coordinates and therefore it is a two-degreeof-freedom system. b) We utilize the coordinates x1 , x2 , and θ, as measured from the unstretched position of the two springs. Therefore, the kinetic and potential energies are written as: T

Solution: We choose the coordinates (x1 , x2 , x3 ), which represent the positions of the three masses. a) To determine the stiffness matrix, we use the stiffness influence coefficients.

Therefore, with these coordinates the stiffness matrix is:   k1 + k2 −k2 0 k2 + 2k3 −2k3  K =  −k2 0 −2k3 2k3 Alternatively, we can define the potential energy of the system as: V

which leads to the same stiffness matrix. To determine the mass matrix, we could use the inertia influence coefficients, but, for variety, we determine the kinetic energy as: T =

Solution: a) For coordinates we choose (x1 , x2 , x3 ) as the displacements of each mass with respect to inertial space. Using influence coefficients, we find that:     m1 0 0 k1 + k2 −k2 0 k1 + 2k2 −k2  M =  0 m2 0  , K =  −k2 0 −k2 k2 0 0 m3 Alternatively, if we choose coordinates (x1 , x2 , z), where z represents the stretch in the spring connecting m2 and m3 , we can determine the mass and stiffness matrices from the Lagrangian. The kinetic and potential energies are: T

b) With the first choice of coordinates, the mass matrix is diagonal while the stiffness matrix is not, the system is statically coupled but dynamically uncoupled. With the latter coordinates neither matrix is diagonal so that the system is both statically and dynamically coupled.

To determine the eigenvectors, we return to the characteristic matrix A, so that Au = λu. The elements of u then satisfy the equation: 2 5 u 1 − u 2 = β u1 . 3 3 Thus, if u1 = 1, this yields: u2 =
