VIBROACOUSTICS- Assignment 4 Solved

Assignment
1)      Compute the natural frequencies of the free-fixed bar of slide 3 (𝜌=2700𝑘𝑔/𝑚3,

𝐸 = 70 𝐺𝑃𝑎, 𝐿 = 2 𝑚, b = h = 0.05 m) in the frequency range [0 10] kHz and plot the corresponding mode shapes.

2)      Compute the natural frequencies of the same bar in free-free conditions and plot the corresponding mode shapes.

3)      For the free-fixed bar excited at the free-end, plot and comment the FRF for output positions located in 𝑥ҧ = 𝐿/2 and 𝑥ҧ = 𝐿/5. Consider the following cases:

•      undamped bar (standing wave solution);

•      damped bar (wave propagation solution) – loss factor 𝜂 = 0.01;

•      damped bar (modal superposition approach) – loss factor 𝜂 = 0.01.

4)      For the free-fixed bar excited at the free-end, plot and comment the driving-point impedance in the following cases:

•      damped bar (wave propagation solution) – loss factor 𝜂 = 0.01;

•      damped bar (modal superposition approach) – loss factor 𝜂 = 0.01.
