Spring 2012 ME 448: Mechanical Vibrations Harmonic Anal

Spring 2012 ME 448: Mechanical Vibrations Harmonic Analysis 1. For the periodic force function shown determine coefficient a0 and coefficients an and bn for n = 1 2 3 4 5. Use the equation ??? ? ? ? 1 0 sin( ) 2 ( ) n n n f n t f F t ? ? to express the forcing function and plot the result. 2. Determine the steady-state response for the system below using the forcing function developed in question 1. The system consists of a 26 lb weight and a spring with stiffness 6.5 lb/in. Neglect all damping. Plot the system response for 3 seconds of motion. 3. The variation of pressure with time in a hydraulic line is shown below. The data were taken directly from recorded pressure at 0.01 second interval. Using harmonic analysis determine a Fourier expansion which will express the data. Numerically determine coefficient a0 and coefficients an and bn for n = 1 2 3. Plot the result.
