A 400 kg machine is placed at the mid-span of a 3.2-m simply supported steel (E = 200 x 10^9 N/m^2) beam. The machine is observed to vibrate with a natural frequency of 9.3 HZ. What is the moment of inertia of the beam's cross section about its neutral axis?

Respuesta :

Answer:

moment of inertia = 4.662 * 10^6 [tex]mm^4[/tex]

Explanation:

Given data :

Mass of machine = 400 kg = 400 * 9.81 = 3924 N

length of span = 3.2 m

E = 200 * 10^9 N/m^2

frequency = 9.3 Hz

Wm ( angular frequency ) = 2 [tex]\pi f[/tex] = 58.434 rad/secs

also Wm = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{g}{t} }[/tex]  ------- EQUATION 1

g = 9.81

deflection of simply supported beam

t = [tex]\frac{wl^3}{48EI}[/tex]

insert the value of t into equation 1

W[tex]m^2[/tex] = [tex]\frac{g*48*E*I}{WL^3}[/tex]   make I the subject of the equation

I ( Moment of inertia about the neutral axis ) = [tex]\frac{WL^3* Wn^2}{48*g*E}[/tex]

I = [tex]\frac{3924*3.2^3*58.434^2}{48*9.81*200*10^9}[/tex]  = 4.662 * 10^6 [tex]mm^4[/tex]
