QUESTION # 1: (18 Marks)
(CLO-I based question)

An unbalance disk rotating at 900 R.P.M attached with a machine (600 kg) and the whole
assembly is installed on the floor with the help of 4 springs and 4 dampers arranged in parallel
with each spring weighing 2 kg and having stiffness of 25 KN/m. The accelerometer installed on
the system generates vibration signal from which the approximate value of logarithmic decrement
(δ) is found to be 0.44. If the unbalance force of the system recorded by load cell to be 500N when
the unbalance mass is at the extreme position with respect to the horizontal axis and if the system
is excited with an initial velocity of 100 mm/s, determine the time-dependent response of the
system.

QUESTION # 2: (12 Marks)

A large rotating machine causes the floor of a factory to oscillate sinusoidally. A punch press is to
be mounted on the same floor. The displacement of the floor at the point where the punch press is
to be mounted is measured to be y(t)=1.2 sin ωt (mm). Using the principle of base excitation,
calculate the maximum force transmitted to the punch press at resonance if the press is mounted
on a rubber fitting of stiffness k=38 N/mm, damping coefficient c=750 N/(m/s) and mass m =2800
kg.
