MEEM5702 Homework #6

Fall 2016

The model of a mechanical system as a 3 degree of freedom system is shown below.

The system is subjected to an impulsive load P1 as shown in the following plot where the peak
amplitude of the force is 100N. The system starts from static equilibrium.

Provide the following.


1. A plot of the response for each DOF overlaid with the contribution of each mode in physical
coordinates. (you must use the method of modal superposition (modal space). Computations,
plots, etc. may be done using Matlab.
2. An Amesim model that has the same Eigen solution along with a comparison of the total
response for each DOF found in part 1, with the Amesim model solution.

System Parameters:

m1 = 10 kg
m2 = 20 kg
mB = 15 kg
a = 0.05 m
b = 0.10 m
k1 = 25, 000 N/m
k2 = 15, 000 N/m
k3 = 20, 000 N/m
k4 = 30, 000 N/m
