List of Experiments

Free vibration of undamped and damped systems – critical speed of shafts – balancing in single plane and different planes for rotating masses – balancing of reciprocating masses– gyroscope – study of governors – Bifilar, trifilar and compound pendulums – forced vibrations.

Course Objectives

This course is expected to:

• Demonstrate experiments on single and two degrees of freedom translational and rotational vibration systems
• Familiarize students with measurement of moment of inertia and center of gravity of complex objects
• Provide an exposure to governors and gyroscope
• Demonstrate balancing of rotating and reciprocating masses

Course Outcomes

• CO1: Interpret the concepts of natural frequency, damping, critical speeds in translational and rotating vibrational systems
• CO2: Determine moment of inertia and center of gravity of complex objects
• CO3: Construct the characteristic plots for different types of governors
• CO4: Evaluate the working of a gyroscope and measure the gyroscopic couple
• CO5: Analyze and implement the balancing of rotating and reciprocating masses
