1] The seat of helicopter with the pilot weighs 1000N and it is found to have a static deflection of 10
mm under self-weight. The vibration of the rotor is transmitted to the base of the seat as harmonic
motion with frequency of 4 Hz and amplitude of 0.2 mm.

(a) What is the level of vibration felt by the pilot?

(b) It is desired that the acceleration felt by the pilot to limit to 10 mm/sec2. How can the seat be
redesigned to reduce the effect of vibration?

ω2 X = (2πf)2

ω2X= 0.353743198 m/sec2

Desirable acceleration is 0.01 m/sec2

so 0.3537 > 0.01

therefore redesign the seat

4] An exhaust fan having a small unbalanced weighs 800 N and operates at a speed of 600 rpm. It is
desired to limit the response to a transmissibility of 2.5 as the fan passes resonance during statup in
addition an isolation of 90% is to be achieved at the operating speed of the fan. Design a suitable
isolator for the fan.
