Problem 9.39
A fatigue-testing machine for electronic components consists of a
platform with an unbalanced motor. Assume that the rotor in the
motor spins at
!rD3000 rpm
, the mass of the platform is
mpD
20 kg
, the mass of the motor is
mmD15 kg
, the unbalanced mass is
muD0:5 kg
, and the equivalent stiffness of the platform suspension
is
keq DnksD5106N=m
, where
n
is the number of springs. For
the testing machine, the distance
“
between the spin axis of the rotor
and the location at which
mu
is placed can be varied to obtain the
desired vibration level. Calculate the range of values of
“
that would
provide amplitudes of the particular solution ranging from
0:1 mm
to
2mm.
Solution
This system is identical to that found in Example 9.6. Therefore, using
kD5106N=m
,
mmD15 kg
, and
mpD20 kg, we know that the square of the natural frequency of the system is given by
of McGraw-Hill, and must be surrendered upon request of McGraw-Hill. Any duplication or distribution, either in print or electronic form, without the
