Damped Free Vibration Question 1:

A mass of 1 kg is attached to the end of a spring with stiffness 0.9 N/mm. The critical damping coefficient of this system is ____.

  1. 1.40 Ns/m
  2. 2 Ns/m
  3. 60 Ns/m
  4. 6 Ns/m

Option 3 : 60 Ns/m

Damped Free Vibration Question 1 Detailed Solution

Concept:

Critical damping provides the quickest approach to zero amplitude for a damped oscillator.

Damping ratio \(\zeta = \frac{{Actual\;damping}}{{Critical\;damping}} = \frac{c}{{{c_c}}}\)

Where CC is the critical damping coefficient

\({C_C} = 2\sqrt {km} = 2m{\omega _n}\)

Calculation:

\({c_c} = 2m{\omega _n} = 2\sqrt {km} = 2\sqrt {0.9 \times {{10}^3} \times 1} = 60\;Ns/m\)

Damped Free Vibration Question 2:

In free vibration with viscous damping, the following statement is wrong-

  1. None of these
  2. The spring force acts in opposite direction of displacement
  3. The damping force acts in the direction of velocity
  4. The inertia force acts in the opposite direction of acceleration

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : The damping force acts in the direction of velocity

Damped Free Vibration Question 2 Detailed Solution

Explanation:

Viscous Damping or Damped Vibration:

In an elastic body, the vibrations die out after some time due to internal molecular friction of the mass of the body which is represented in the figure as a spring and mass system.  

The damping provided by fluid resistance is called viscous damping and represented as a dashpot in the figure.

Considering forces on mass when displaced below though a distance x from equilibrium position -

F1 Ashiq 23.2.21 Pallavi D16

Where,

B-B equilibrium position

\(x\) = displacement of the mass from the mean position at time t

\({\dot x}\) = velocity of the mass at time t

\(\ddot x\) = acceleration of the mass at time t

When the mass moves downward resisting forces acting on mass are -

  • Inertia = \(m\ddot x\) ⇒ upward direction
  • Damping Force = \(c\dot x\)  upward direction
  • Spring force = \(sx\) ⇒ upward direction

Conclusion

  • Displacement is in the downward direction and spring force is acting in the upward direction
  • Velocity is in the downward direction and damping force is a resisting force acting in the upward direction.
  • Acceleration is in the downward direction and inertia force is resisting force which acts in the upward direction

Damped Free Vibration Question 3:

The amplitude of underdamping a small damping varies with time as _____.

  1. Linearly
  2. Arithmetically
  3. Geometrically
  4. Exponentially

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : Exponentially

Damped Free Vibration Question 3 Detailed Solution

Explanation:

If the system is underdamped it will swing back and forth with decreasing size of the swing until it comes to a stop. Its amplitude will decrease exponentially.

\(x\left( t \right) = {e^{ - \xi {ω _n}t}}\left( {A{e^{i{ω _d}t}} + B{e^{ - i{ω _d}t}}} \right)\)

Overdamped System: ζ > 1

\(x(t) = A{e^{( - \xi + \sqrt {{\xi ^2} - 1} ){ω _n}t}} + B{e^{( - \xi - \sqrt {{\xi ^2} - 1} ){ω _n}t}}\)

This is the equation of aperiodic motion i.e. the system cannot vibrate due to over-damping. The magnitude of the resultant displacement approaches zero with time.

Underdamped: ζ < 1

\(x\left( t \right) = {e^{ - \xi {ω _n}t}}\left( {A{e^{i{ω _d}t}} + B{e^{ - i{ω _d}t}}} \right)\)

\(x(t) = A{e^{ - \xi {ω _n}t}}\sin ({ω _d} + \phi )\)

This resultant motion is oscillatory with decreasing amplitudes having a frequency of ωd. Ultimately, the motion dies down with time.

Critical Damping: ζ = 1

\(x(t) = (A + Bt){e^{ - {\omega _n}t}}\)

The displacement will be approaching zero with the shortest possible time.

Damped Free Vibration Question 4:

In the under-damped vibrating system, the amplitude of vibration with reference to time _____.

  1. Increases linearly
  2. Increases exponentially
  3. Decreases linearly
  4. Decreases exponentially

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : Decreases exponentially

Damped Free Vibration Question 4 Detailed Solution

Explanation:

If the system is underdamped it will swing back and forth with decreasing size of the swing until it comes to a stop. Its amplitude will decrease exponentially.

\(x\left( t \right) = {e^{ - \xi {\omega _n}t}}\left( {A{e^{i{\omega _d}t}} + B{e^{ - i{\omega _d}t}}} \right)\)

Overdamped System: ζ > 1

\(x(t) = A{e^{( - \xi + \sqrt {{\xi ^2} - 1} ){ω _n}t}} + B{e^{( - \xi - \sqrt {{\xi ^2} - 1} ){ω _n}t}}\)

This is the equation of aperiodic motion i.e. the system cannot vibrate due to over-damping. The magnitude of the resultant displacement approaches zero with time.

Underdamped: ζ < 1

\(x\left( t \right) = {e^{ - \xi {ω _n}t}}\left( {A{e^{i{ω _d}t}} + B{e^{ - i{ω _d}t}}} \right)\)

\(x(t) = A{e^{ - \xi {ω _n}t}}\sin ({ω _d} + \phi )\)

This resultant motion is oscillatory with decreasing amplitudes having a frequency of ωd. Ultimately, the motion dies down with time.

Critical Damping: ζ = 1

\(x(t) = (A + Bt){e^{ - {\omega _n}t}}\)

The displacement will be approaching to zero with shortest possible time.

Damped Free Vibration Question 5:

A single-degree damped vibrating system consists of a suspended mass of 2.5 kg and spring constant 30 N/cm. The amplitude decreases to 25% of initial value after 4 oscillations. What will be the logarithmic decrement? [ Assume, e0.693 = 2]

  1. 0.4192
  2. 0.3721
  3. 0.2121
  4. 0.3465

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : 0.3465

Damped Free Vibration Question 5 Detailed Solution

Concept:

Logarithmic decrement is the log of successive decrement ratio:

17.12.218.217          

Logarithmic decrement 

\(\delta =\ln\left| {\frac{{{X_{n}}}}{{{X_{n+1 }}}}} \right|= \frac{1}{n}\ln\left| {\frac{{{X_{1}}}}{{{X_{n+1 }}}}} \right|\)

Where n is the number of oscillations made to reduce the amplitude from X1 to X(n+1)

Calculation:

Given X4 = 0.25 X0

\(\frac{{{X_4}}}{{{X_0}}} = 0.25\;\)

\(\frac{{{X_4}}}{{{X_0}}} = \frac{X_4}{X_3}\times\frac{X_3}{X_2}\times\frac{X_2}{X_1}\times\frac{X_1}{X_0}\)

Logarithmic decrement 

\(\delta = \frac{1}{4}\ln\left| {\frac{{{X_0}}}{{{X_4}}}} \right|\)

\(\delta = \frac{1}{2}\ln\left| 2 \right|=0.3465\)                                                                

Damped Free Vibration Question 6:

The mass of a single-degree damped vibrating system is 7.5 kg and it makes 24 free oscillation in 14 s when disturbed from its equilibrium position. The amplitude of vibration reduces to 0.25 of its initial value after five oscillations. Then the logarithmic decrement will be

  1. \(\frac{2}{5}{\log _{\rm{e}}}4\)
  2. \(\frac{1}{5}{\log _{\rm{e}}}6\)
  3. \(\frac{1}{5}{\log _{\rm{e}}}4\)
  4. \(\frac{2}{5}{\log _{\rm{e}}}6\)

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : \(\frac{1}{5}{\log _{\rm{e}}}4\)

Damped Free Vibration Question 6 Detailed Solution

Concept:

Logarithmic decrement is the log of successive decrement ratio:

17.12.218.217          

Logarithmic decrement 

\(\delta =\ln\left| {\frac{{{X_{n}}}}{{{X_{n+1 }}}}} \right|= \frac{1}{n}\ln\left| {\frac{{{X_{1}}}}{{{X_{n+1 }}}}} \right|\)

Where n is the number of oscillations made to reduce the amplitude from X1 to X(n+1)

Calculation:

Given X5 = 0.25 X0

\(\frac{{{X_5}}}{{{X_0}}} = 0.25\;\)

\(\frac{{{X_5}}}{{{X_0}}} = \frac{X_5}{X_4}\times\frac{X_4}{X_3}\times\frac{X_3}{X_2}\times\frac{X_2}{X_1}\times\frac{X_1}{X_0}\)

Logarithmic decrement 

\(\delta = \frac{1}{5}\ln\left| {\frac{{{X_0}}}{{{X_5}}}} \right|\)

\(\delta = \frac{1}{5}\ln\left| 4 \right|\)                                                                

Damped Free Vibration Question 7:

In, a damped vibration system, the damping force is proportional to 

  1. Displacement
  2. Velocity
  3. Acccelaration
  4. Vibrations

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : Velocity

Damped Free Vibration Question 7 Detailed Solution

Explanation:

Damping Force: 

  • The frictional force acts in the opposite direction of the displacement of any particle and reduces the energy of the system over a time period.
  • Reduction of energy leads to a decrease in amplitude of oscillation this is known as Damping.
  • The equation of damping force is given by

\(Damping\;force\;\left( F \right) = \; - c\frac{{dx}}{{dt}}--cv\)

Where c is the damping coefficient, v is the velocity of the oscillating object. 

Damping coefficient: The measure of the effectiveness of the damper, reflects the ability of the damper to which it can resist the motion is called the damping coefficient.

From the above discussion, we can conclude that the damping force is proportional to Velocity.

Damped Free Vibration Question 8:

A vibrating system consists of mass of 50 kg, a spring with a stiffness of 30 kN/m and a damper. If damping is 20% of the critical value, the natural frequency of damped vibrations will be

  1. 16 rad/s
  2. 20 rad/s
  3. 24 rad/s
  4. 28 rad/s

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 24 rad/s

Damped Free Vibration Question 8 Detailed Solution

Concept:

Damped frequency is given by:

\(\omega_d =\omega_n\sqrt {1 - {{\rm{ξ }}^2}} \)

ωn = angular frequency

ξ = damping factor = \(\frac{C}{{{C_c}}}\)

Calculation:

Given:

m = 50 kg, k = 30 kN/m

C = 0.2Cc

∴ ξ = \(\frac{C}{{{C_c}}}\) = 0.2

For a system with damping,

ωn \(\sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} = \sqrt {\frac{{30 \times {{10}^3}}}{{50}}} = 24.494~rad/s\)

ωd = ω\(\sqrt {1 - {{\rm{ξ }}^2}} \)

ωd = (24.494) \(\sqrt {1 - {{0.2}^2}} \)

ωd = 23.99 24 rad/s

Damped Free Vibration Question 9:

Logarithmic decrement of a damped single degree of freedom system is δ. If stiffness of the spring is doubled and mass is made half, then logarithmic decrement of the new system will be equal to

  1. 1/2δ
  2. δ
  3. 1/4 δ

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : δ

Damped Free Vibration Question 9 Detailed Solution

Concept:

Logarithmic decrement of spring is,

\(\delta = \frac{{2\pi\xi }}{{\sqrt {1 -\xi 2\;} }}\)

where, \(\xi = \frac{C}{{{C_c}}}\)

And CC = 2 mωn

The natural frequency of spring is, \({\omega _n} = \sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} \) 

When the stiffness of the spring is doubled and mass is made half,

The natural frequency of spring become \({\omega _n} = \sqrt {\frac{2k}{{\frac{m}{2}}}} = 2\sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} \) 

Now, \({\xi_1} = \frac{C}{{{C_C}}} = \frac{C}{{2m{\omega _n}}} =\xi\)

\({\xi_2} = \frac{C}{{{C_C}}} = \frac{C}{{2(m/2){2\omega _n}}} = \xi\)

\({\delta _2} = \frac{{2\pi\epsilon {_2}}}{{\sqrt {1 -\epsilon _2^2} }}\)

\( = \frac{{2\pi\epsilon }}{{\sqrt {1 - {\epsilon^2}} }}\)        ---- (1)

\(\delta = \frac{{2\pi\epsilon }}{{\sqrt {1 - {\epsilon^2}} }}\)       ---- (2)

Form (1) and (2)

\(\frac{{{\delta _2}}}{\delta } = \frac{{2\pi\epsilon }}{{2\pi\epsilon }}\frac{{\sqrt {1 - {\epsilon^2}} \;}}{{\sqrt {1 - {\epsilon^2}} }}\)

\(\frac{{{\delta _2}}}{\delta } = 1\)

⇒ δ2 = δ

Damped Free Vibration Question 10:

A motion is aperiodic at what value of the damping factor?

  1. 1.0 or above
  2. 0.5
  3. 0.3
  4. 0.866

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 1.0 or above

Damped Free Vibration Question 10 Detailed Solution

Explanation:

Depending on the system damping, it can have either an aperiodic motion or a periodic motion.

Damping ratio:

The ratio of the actual damping coefficient (c) to the critical damping coefficient (cc) is known as damping factor or damping ratio.

When the damping factor is more than equal to 1, it leads to aperiodic motion.

Overdamped System: ζ > 1

\(x(t) = A{e^{( - \xi + \sqrt {{\xi ^2} - 1} ){ω _n}t}} + B{e^{( - \xi - \sqrt {{\xi ^2} - 1} ){ω _n}t}}\)

This is the equation of aperiodic motion i.e. the system cannot vibrate due to over-damping. The magnitude of the resultant displacement approaches zero with time.

Underdamped: ζ < 1

\(x\left( t \right) = {e^{ - \xi {ω _n}t}}\left( {A{e^{i{ω _d}t}} + B{e^{ - i{ω _d}t}}} \right)\)

\(x(t) = A{e^{ - \xi {ω _n}t}}\sin ({ω _d} + \phi )\)

This resultant motion is oscillatory with decreasing amplitudes having a frequency of ωd. Ultimately, the motion dies down with time.

Critical Damping: ζ = 1

\(x(t) = (A + Bt){e^{ - {\omega _n}t}}\)

The displacement will be approaching to zero with shortest possible time.
