SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a machine tool with a mass of 1000 kg and a mass moment of inertia of 300 kg-m². The stiffness values are k1 = 3000 N/mm and k2 = 2000 N/mm, located at distances of ℓ1 = 0.5 m and ℓ2 = 0.8 m. The equations of motion are established, leading to a determinant that yields two natural frequencies. The mode shapes can be derived by setting one element of the mode vector arbitrarily and solving for the other element using the established equations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of dynamic systems and vibrations

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)##.
$$
\begin{vmatrix}
k_1 + k_2 - m\omega^2 & k_2\ell_2 - k_1\ell_1\\
k_2\ell_2 - k_1\ell_1 & k_1\ell_1^2 + k_2\ell_2^2 - J_0\omega^2
\end{vmatrix} = \omega_{1,2} = \sqrt{5883.33\pm 902.003}
$$
How do I determine the mode shapes?

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.
