Can you please explain the steps i am confused and do not understand the problem. Thank you.
A fan of 45 kg has an unbalance that creates a harmonic force. A spring-damper system
is designed to minimize the force transmitted to the base of the fan. A damper is used
having a damping ratio of =0.2. Calculate the required spring stiffness so that only
10% of the force is transmitted to the ground when the fan is running at 10,000rpm.
Solution: The equation of motion of the fan is
mx+cx+kx=m0e2sin(t+)
The steady state solution as given by equation (2.84) is
x(t)=m0emr2(1-r2)2+(2r)22sint
where r is the standard frequency ratio. The force transmitted to the ground is
F(t)=kx+cx=m0emkr2(1-r2)2+(2r)22sint+m0emcr2(1-r2)2+(2r)22cost
Taking the magnitude of this quantity, the magnitude of the force transmitted becomes
F0=m0emr2k2+c222(1-r2)2+(2r)22=m0e1+(2r)22(1-r2)2+(2r)22
From equation (2.81) the magnitude of the force generated by the rotating mass Fr is
Fr=m0e2
The limitation stated in the problem is that F0=0.1Fr, or
m0e21+(2r)22(1-r2)2+(2r)22=0.1m0e2
Setting =0.2 and solving for r yields:
r4-17.84r2-99=0
which yields only one positive solution for r2, which is
r2=22.28=2km=>km=(10000260)2122.28
=>k=45(10000260)2122.28=2.21106Nm
