Consider the vibrating system shown in the figure below. The rod and the spring can be considered massless, and there is no friction in the system. The system is designed such that the rod can swing back and forth (resisted by torsional spring) while the mass can move up and down the rod at the same time. Develop the governing equations of motion using Lagranges equation(s) of motion. Assume small displacements and zero potential at bottom position
2. A uniform prismatic bar fixed at one end and attached to a lumped mass m at the other end. Show that the natural frequencies of axial vibration are given by the following equation l Al tan l = m E E
3. Effect of Axial Loading: The presence of axial tension can have a significant effect on the transverse vibrations of a beam (example centrifugal. Using both the force equilibrium method and the Hamiltons principle, show that the governing equation for transverse vibrations for a uniform beam is 4 y 2 y 2 y EI 4 T 2 + A 2 = 0 x x t Comment on the effect of the tensile load on the natural frequency of beam transverse vibrations.
