Motivational ExampleEffects of suspension on exhaust system vibration
2.1
In automotive systems, a change to one component can cause noise and vibration problems in other components. - Consumers lose confidence when noises arise and mechanical parts can fail when vibrations are excessive. These problems result in warranty losses, recalls, and significant financial setbacks.

Key Points to RememberThree elements and free oscillations
2.2
There are three physical elements in mechanical systems:p y y
Inertia- characterized by MASS (M, I)- maintains motionDissipation- characterized by DAMPING (C B)
We use lumped elementsthat are ideal
We usually deal withequivalent mass, dampingand stiffness- characterized by DAMPING (C, B)
- eliminates motionElasticity- characterized by (K)- opposes (or restores) motion
and stiffness
Mass and stiffness areeasiest to estimate
Damping is never correct
© 2009 D. E. AdamsME 375 – Translating and Rotating Mechanical Systems
Free oscillations only occur when systems contain both mass and stiffness
4
Mechanical ElementsMass, damping and stiffness characteristics (LINEAR)
2.3
Each lumped (linear) element has its own characteristic:
M
K f
Bx
Δx
F B
F M
Also called “C”
This is
Δx
F KxM
Note that theseare straight lineswith constant slopes(also massless!) 1/K is called “flexibility”
Newton’s2nd Law fora particle

(also massless!)
Damper / spring forces are determined by relative motion (Δ).Inertia force is determined by absolute acceleration.
1/K is called flexibility

Overcoming Design Trade-Offs in ShuttleTrade-off in isolation and impact resistance in Thermal Protection Systems
In the space shuttle orbiter, the thermal protection system involves a design trade-off: the orbiter airframe must be isolated from a hostile des g t ade o t e o b te a a e ust be so ated o a ost eacoustic environment and must also be capable of sustaining foreign object impact loads. This trade-off has been overcome to a large extent using a highly nonlinear silicon isolation pad.
© 2009 D. E. AdamsME 375 – Translating and Rotating Mechanical Systems
Orbiter airframe is isolated from external acoustic loads (140-165 dB) in the low strain region of the strain isolation pad.
Resistance to moderate energy impacts is achieved in the high strain region of the strain isolation pad.
10
Mechanical ElementsWhen are mass, damping and stiffness important to consider?
2.8
Stiffness is important to consider when STATIC loads are applied because springs sustain static loadsapplied because springs sustain static loads.Stiffness is important to consider when DYNAMIC loads are applied as well because stiffness is constantly working to pull systems back to their resting position.
Damping is important to consider when DYNAMIC loads are applied because damping is the only element that can stop motion especially when resonances occur.
Mass is important to consider when DYNAMIC loads are applied because mass resists sudden changes in motion.
© 2009 D. E. AdamsME 375 – Translating and Rotating Mechanical Systems
In general, as frequency increases, mass is most important; as frequency decreases, stiffness is most important; and in the middle, damping is most important.
