Mode Shapes of Machine Tool w/ Mass m & Moment of Inertia J0

In summary, the mode shapes can be determined by setting one of the elements to a constant (e.g. x = 1) and solving for the other element(s) using the equations in matrix form.

Homework Statement


A machine tool with mass ##m = 1000## kg and mass moment of inertia of ##J_0 = 300## kg-m##^2## where ##k_1 = 3000## N/mm and ##k_2 = 2000## N/mm which are located at ##\ell_1 = 0.5## m and ##\ell_2 = 0.8## m. Find the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the machine tool.

I am unable to find the mode shapes

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


I have
\begin{align}
m\ddot{x} + k(x - \theta\ell_1) + k_2(x - \theta\ell_2) &= 0\\
J_0\ddot{\theta} - k_1(x - \theta\ell_1)\ell_1 + k_2(x + \theta\ell_2)\ell_2
\end{align}
Then let ##x=X\cos(\omega t + \phi)## and ##\theta = \Theta\cos(\omega t + \phi)##.
$$
\begin{vmatrix}
k_1 + k_2 - m\omega^2 & k_2\ell_2 - k_1\ell_1\\
k_2\ell_2 - k_1\ell_1 & k_1\ell_1^2 + k_2\ell_2^2 - J_0\omega^2
\end{vmatrix} = \omega_{1,2} = \sqrt{5883.33\pm 902.003}
$$

The mode shapes (also known as mode vectors) are only specified to within a constant multiplier. In practical terms, this means that you can choose one element arbitrarily and then use the equations to find the other element(s).

In your problem, you have two natural frequencies and two mode shapes. Write the whole problem in matrix form, something like this (I don't know how to get all the symbols):

|...k1+k2-m*w^2...k2*L2-k1*L1...... | ( x )...( 0 )
|............... | (...) = (...)
|...k2*L2 - k1*L1...k1*L1^2+k2*L2^2 - Jo*w^2..| ( th )...( 0 )

Next substitute the value for all parameters and the value for w1. Assign x = 1 and solve for th. The vector (1, th) is the mode vector for the first mode.

Follow a similar process with w2 to get the second mode shape.
 

1. What is a Mode Shape in regards to a Machine Tool?

A Mode Shape is a visual representation of how a machine tool moves or vibrates when subjected to external forces. It shows the amplitude and frequency of the vibration at different points on the machine.

2. How does the Mass of a Machine Tool affect its Mode Shapes?

The mass of a machine tool affects its Mode Shapes by determining the inertia of the system. A higher mass will result in lower frequencies and larger amplitudes in the Mode Shapes.

3. What is the significance of the Moment of Inertia in relation to Mode Shapes?

The Moment of Inertia, or J0, is a measure of the resistance to changes in rotational motion. It plays a crucial role in determining the natural frequencies and Mode Shapes of a machine tool.

4. How can the Mode Shapes of a Machine Tool be calculated?

The Mode Shapes of a Machine Tool can be calculated using mathematical equations and numerical methods. It involves solving the equations of motion for the system, taking into account the mass, moment of inertia, and external forces.

5. Why is it important to understand the Mode Shapes of a Machine Tool?

Understanding the Mode Shapes of a Machine Tool is important because it allows us to predict and analyze the behavior of the machine under different operating conditions. It can also help identify potential problems and improve the design and performance of the machine.
