James Flounders Student assignment number 4 Static systems We are given a diagram of a pulley shaft supported at each end in roller bearings. Pulley P1 drives the shaft and pulley P2 is driven by the shaft. The forces on the shaft from each pulley have been resolved into net forces and may be treated as point loads F1 and F2 pulling in opposite directions. The shaft is made from a solid bar diameter Dmm. The total power transmitted from pulley to the other is Pkw at a speed of N rev/min. It may be assumed that the modulus of rigidity G is 900Pa Am = 0.25, Bm = 0.15, Cm = 0.1, F1N =2500, F2N =1900, Dm = 0.13 , Pkw = 6.0, Nrev/min = 100 Bending and transverse shear 1.

A beam is to support a bending moment of 350kNm and the maximum bending stress must to exceed 250mPa, determine the section modulus (Z) and select an appropriate universal beam T section using tables of standard steel section. O = M we need to find Z so change this to Z = M Z O => Z = 350x10 = 1.4x10 250x10 Z = 1400cm Using the standard steel section tables the minimum size beam to be used should be serial size 267x381, although a serial size 292x419 may be used with a view to extra load being applied in the future. Serial sizes taken from T section tables on http://www.roymech.co.uk

SOUD1214 10. A steel section is to be used as a column, it is to have a slenderness ratio of 100 and has an overall length of 5m. Determine the radius of gyration and hence select a suitable column T section using tables of standard steel sections. Using this specification of column determine the compressive stress induced for an axial load of 100kN. S.R = L => 100 = 5000 K K Rearrange to find K K=L => 5000 = 50mm S.R 100 Looking in the standard steel section tables http://www.roymech.co.uk/Useful_Tables/Sections/TeeA_dimprop.html we use y,y axis in the radius of gyration column and use serial size, 229x305x70 this is the narrowest beam that will not buckle. we can now find the compressive stress induced for an axial load of 100kN = F The area given on the tables for the beam is 89.1cm A => 100 = 1.12MPa 89.1

Using lesson notes and information taken from Tooley and Dingle, Engineering science 2012 and various engineering websites, including MD solids, free study and Roymech. I have completed all questions in the static systems section of this assignment and where possible backed my findings up with evidence from other sources, I believe double checking all my findings is essential where possible to check for calculation errors on my part and to gain a greater understanding of the results.

SOUD1214 Dynamic Systems For a charity event, an engineering team is tasked with designing a launch system for a small unmanned glider. The aim is to use no electrical assistance and keep the cost as low as possible. It is decided to use a gravity driven flywheel system to generate the energy required for launch. Our task is to analyse the proposed system as detailed below. Uniform acceleration The system comprises of a rim type flywheel of mean radius R 0.7 meters and mass M 90kg. The flywheel is powered by a weight of W 22 kg free falling from a height of X 4.5meters . the weight W is attached to the flywheel by means of a thin cord wrapped around a drum of radius 0.25m. If the fly wheel starts at rest and gravity is taken as 9.81ms1. calculate: 1. The potential energy of the mass when initially stationary

According to Tooley and Dingle (2012, P156) Potential Energy (PE) is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position, relative to some datum. The change in PE is equal to its weight multiplied by the change in height. Since the weight of a body = MG, then the change in PE may be written as PE = MGH MGH can be written as MGZ, so PE = MGZ PE = 22 x 9.81 x 4.5 = 971.19j So the potential Energy of the mass when initially stored is 971.19j 2. Find the linear kinetic energy of the mass as it hits the ground Tooley and Dingle (2012, P158) state that: Kinetic Energy (KE) is energy possessed in a body by virtue of its motion. Translational KE i.e. the KE of a body travelling in a linear direction (straight line), is: Translational KE (J) = mass (kg) x (velocity) (m/s) 2 We already have the mass of the weight (22kg) but we need to find velocity, so first we have to find inertia (I) I = MK We have M (22kg) and we have K (0.7) so I = 90 x 0.7 = 44.1kg/m

SOUD1214 The next step is to find V V = 2GZ so v = 2 x (9.81x4.5) 1+ I 1 + 44.1 MR 22 x 0.25 V= v = 2.66 = 1.63mp/s

88.29 1+ 44.1 = 2.66 1.375

KE = M x V = 22 x 2.66 = 29.26j 2 2 So the linear kinetic energy of the mass when it hits the ground is 29.26j 3. Find the angular kinetic energy of the fly wheel when the mass hits the ground. First we need to find the angular velocity () = V = 1.63 = 6.52rad/s R 0.25 Now we can find the RKE = I = 44.1 x 6.52 = 937.4j 2 2 We can now add the values of KE together to find the total KE when the mass hits the ground 29.26j + 937.4j = 966.66j 4. Explain why you think that the kinetic energy is different for the flywheel and the mass, also explain why the theoretical values might be higher than actual values for this system? The change in potential energy of the falling mass increases the kinetic energy in both the flywheel and the falling mass but the energy used to increase the KE of the falling mass isnt available to increase the KE of the flywheel. The actual values could be subject to exterior influence such as wind, temperature, human interface and quality of the products used in the experiment. I have experienced this in the past whilst performing insulation resistance tests on copper cable, having taken the same length of cable and using the same test kit, reading from one end of the cable to the other has given back different results when double checked a day later. Slight changes in temperature and positioning can make small changes to the values taken whilst performing an experiment or test.

SOUD1214 Energy Transfer. The energy stored in the flywheel from part 1 is to be transferred to the glider by means of a clutch and tow-rope arrangement . The flywheel is instantaneously coupled to the stationary clutch (at the moment the mass hits the ground). The mass of the clutch is 20kg and it has an effective diameter of 300mm and can be considered to be a solid disk. 1. Determine the angular velocity of the combination. Final Angular Velocity (f) = I1x1 + I2x2 I1+I2 First we need to find the inertia (I2) D 0.3 I2 = M 2 => 20 2 = 0.225kgm/s 2 2 The clutch itself has no angular velocity so we can now work out f f = (44.1 x 6.52) + (0.225 x 0) = 287.532 = 6.48rad/s 44.1 + 0.225 44.325 So the angular velocity of the combination is 6.48rad/s 2. Calculate the loss in kinetic energy as the clutch engages. We need to add the two values of Inertia together 44.1 + 0.225 =44.325.

Now we can find the kinetic energy in the clutch Ke = I = 44.325 x 6.48 = 930.6 2 2 We want to find the loss in kinetic energy so we need to take our value of rotational KE (RKE), used in uniform acceleration question 3. This value is 937.4j To find the loss we need to subtract the KE in the clutch from the RKE 937.4 930.6 = 6.8j So the total loss in Kinetic energy as the clutch engages is 6.8J

SOUD1214 Oscillating mechanical systems 1. A spring of stiffness 15kN/m supports a mass of 5kg. The mass is pulled downwards by 12mm and released to produce linear oscillations. Calculate the frequency of oscillation and the periodic time. Hence determine the maximum linear velocity and maximum linear acceleration for the system. First we can find the angular frequency = k = 15000 = 3000 = 54.7723rad m 5 we can now find the frequency F = = 54.7723 = 8.717hz 2 2 Time period (T) = 1 = 1 = 0.115 seconds F 8.717 t = T = 0.115 = 0.0287 4 4 X = -12

Velocity = dX = XSin(t) and acceleration = dV = XCos(t) dt dt X = -12Cos(t) = -12Cos(54.7723x0.0287) = 0.014 dX = (54.7723x-12) x (Sin54.7723x0.0287) dt ( -657.26) x (0.999) = -656.60mmp/s dV = (54.7723x-12) x (Cos54.7723x0.0287) dt (-36000) x (-1.17) = 42120mm/s Maximum Acceleration = T = 0.115 = 0.0575mm/s 2 2

SOUD1214 For the spring mass system describe the effects of damping, particularly critical damping and describe the principle of simple harmonic motion (SHM). Explain what happens when the system vibrates at its natural frequency, when it vibrates at a forced frequency and when its forced to vibrate at the same frequency as its natural frequency.

Damping is an effect that reduces the amplitude of oscillations in an oscillatory system. The rate that a spring mass system is bought to rest depends on the degree of damping. Three types of damping are known as light, heavy and critical damping. We get critical damping when the time taken for the displacement to become zero is a minimum without oscillation. A good example of critical damping can be found in the recoil mechanism in a gun, after firing a weapon, the sooner the mechanism is returned to its original position the sooner it can be used again.

The diagram to the left taken from Tooley and Dingle, (2012,P212), clearly shows the difference between light, heavy and critical damping. With light damping, the number of oscillations which occur before the displacement of the motion is reduced to zero is high and heavy damping occurs when the displacement is reduced very quickly.

SOUD1214 any motion that repeats itself with equal time intervals is called periodic motion, within this periodic motion find simple harmonic motion (SHM). SHM is a type of periodic motion in which the acceleration of the body is always directed down a fixed path and the magnitude of the acceleration of the body is proportional to its distance from the fixed point. The natural frequency of the system is found when the system oscillates freely once set into motion without any external force. Damping and resonance can also affect the natural frequency, resonant frequency is where an external forces vibration matches the natural frequency of the spring, this increases the amplitude of the oscillation and therefore increases the overall frequency.

The above diagram taken from hyperphysics.phy shows the simple harmonic motion of a spring mass system.
