4. Plot the vertical translatory motion and the rotatory motion of the vehicle described in problem 3
with respect to time as it encounters a 10cm high step, shown in Figure 4. Assume the vehicle speed
to be sufficiently high so that the wheels can be assumed to climb the step instantaneously.
5. An aerofoil wing in the first bending and torsional modes can be represented schematically, shown in
Figure 5, connected through a translational spring of stiffness K and a torsional spring of Kt. Write
the equations of motion for the system, and obtain the two natural frequencies and the corresponding
mode shapes. Assume following data:
m=5 kg, K=5kN/m, a=0.1m, I=0.12 kgm2, Kt=0.4kNm/rad

Note that 12 = 21 and 22 can be obtained by interchanging a1 with a2 and b1 with b2 in expression
for 11 .
7. Consider a mass coupled system supported on spring and damper system shown in Figure 7. If a
harmonic force of amplitude F and frequency acts on the mass, show that the equations of the

10. An I.C. engine operating at 1500 rpm is in resonance with the 3.5 engine order excitation torque of
200 Nm. The mass moment of inertia of the engine is 0.8 kgm2. The inertia of the flywheel is
relatively large. Design a torsional dynamic vibration absorber tuned to the natural frequency of the
engine. The resulting two natural frequencies of the system are to be at least 20% away from the 3.5
engine order excitation frequency. Design absorber spring of solid steel shaft so that maximum shear
stress is limited to 15 MPa. Also, determine the damper mass amplitude.
11. For the system of problem 10, it is proposed to use a dynamic vibration absorber of the type shown
in Figure 8. The absorber mass is coupled to the engine inertia IE through four springs of stiffness K.
If the maximum dynamic magnification of the absorber mass is not to exceed 7, determine the inertia
of absorber mass and the stiffness K of each spring.
