Objectives: The basic ob/ecti0e of this lab is to gain nowle+ge about +ierent in+s of
aaratus that are resent in the Mechanical Vibrations lab. 4 brief +escrition an+
alication of each instru*ent is shown.
• Free Vibration Apparatus:
Vibrations are a *a/or art of the real worl+. There are0ibrations in *an of the hsical heno*enon we see
for e5a*le a car engine, a hanging bri+ge or e0en our
0oice is trans*itte+ in the for* of 0ibrations. The free
0ibration aaratus is use+ to 0isuali)e free 0ibrations.
It consists of a sring *ass sste* an+ a +a*er. The
whole asse*bl is calle+ a free 0ibration aaratus
because no e5ternal force is alie+ +uring the 0ibration. The e5citation force is /ust
ro0i+e+ once an+ then its resonse is lotte+.
It can be use+ to erfor* a nu*ber of e5eri*ents such as +eter*ining the
+a*ing in a sste*, in0estigating the nature of 0ibration, 6n+ing the +a*ing
coe7cient an+ *an *ore.
• Forced Vibration Apparatus:4 force+ 0ibration aaratus is the sa*e as a free
0ibration aaratus but it is use+ to +e*onstrate
the force+ 0ibrations. It consists of a *otor an+ a
sring *ass sste* that causes force+ oscillations
of so*e fre8uenc, which is in the control of the
user. 4 0ertical bar is attache+ to the *otor 0ia asring. When the *otor rotates the 0ertical bar
oscillates an+ ro+uces force+ oscillations.
4 +a*ing sste* is also resent in this aaratus. 9a*er is use+ as an energ
absorbent in the 0ibrating sste*. The +a*ing of the 0ibration can also be 0arie+
using a nob on to of it.

• Torsional Vibration
Apparatus: This e5eri*ental unit is use+ to
e5lain torsion an+ torsional 0ibration
in e5eri*ents. The core of the
e5eri*ent is a *etal torsion bar. With
the ai+ of chucs, *ass +iscs of 0aring inertia can be attache+ to the bar. It this
wa it is ossible to asse*ble torsional 0ibrator sste*s with u to three *asses.
Vibrations can be in+uce+ on the sste* using an electrical e5citer sulie+ fro*
the control unit. 4n a+/ustable +a*er can be use+ to in:uence the 0ibrations. 'haftenco+ers on the chucs ro0i+e the a*litu+e of 0ibration as an electrical signal.
The control unit con+itions these signals an+

• Static and Dynamic
Balancing Apparatus: The *ain ele*ent of the bench to unit is a
s*ooth shaft to which four 0ariable unbalance
weights can be attache+ at an angle or+istance. The rotor is suorte+ hori)ontall in
ball bearings an+ is +ri0en b a see+-
controlle+ *otor. The see+ is *easure+
electronicall an+ shown on a +igital +isla. (or +eter*ination of the unbalance
weight b *easuring the balance of *o*ents the +ri0ing belt can be re*o0e+.
Using +ierent weights +ragging on the ulle +e6ne+ *o*ents can be e5erte+ to
the shaft. The can be co*are+ with those cause+ b the unbalance weights when
rotating. The transarent hoo+ re0ents contact with the rotating arts an+

en+ulu* sste*. In a++ition to e+ucational uroses, an in0erte+ en+ulu* is also
a research area for *an researchers of *o+ern control theories. Through the
continuous research on new was of controlling in0erte+ en+ulu*, researchers

• #$irling o" S$a"t
Apparatus: The *o+es of oscillation an+ resonances of
rotors with continuous *ass +istribution
can be clearl +e*onstrate+ using this
unit. 9ue to the use of thin, elastic rotor shafts *a+e of high-strength steel, the
oscillator heno*ena can be easil un+erstoo+. 4 range of shaft +ia*eters an+ the
free choice of the bearing arrange*ent *ae it ossible to erfor* a wi+e 0arietof e5eri*ents. 4+aters in the bearings co*ensate for +ierent +ia*eters, catch
bearings li*it the a*litu+e of the oscillation. The free+o* of *o0e*ent of the
rotor is assure+ b an elastic couling. 4 a0al rotor with +iscrete *ass +istribution
can be asse*ble+ using a *ass +isc.
• %ompre$ensive Fly #$eel Apparatus:4 :wheel is a rotating *echanical +e0ice that is use+ to store rotational energ.
(lwheels ha0e a signi6cant *o*ent of inertia an+ thus resist changes in
rotational see+. The a*ount of energ store+ in a :wheel is roortional to the
s8uare of its rotational see+. Energ is transferre+ to a :wheel b aling
tor8ue to it, thereb increasing its rotational see+, an+ hence its store+ energ.
