m- mass suspended;
c- damping coefficient and
is the natural frequency.

4. What is the vibration isolation?

The term vibration isolation refers to the prevention or minimization of vibrations and their
transmission due to the unbalanced machines.

5. List the materials used for vibration isolation. (or) Mention any four materials that arrest
vibration.
The materials used for vibration isolation are
1. Pads of Rubber
2. Felt cork
3. Metallic springs.
4. Dampers

6. Define transmissibility or transmissibility ratio.

The transmissibility is defined as the ratio of the force transmitted (to the foundation) to the
force applied.
It is the measure of the effectiveness of the vibration isolating material.

7. Define Transmissibility Factor or Isolation Factor.

Transmissibility Factor is defined as the ratio of force transmitted (to the foundation) to the
force applied.

, = =

8. List out the sources of excitation in forced vibration.

1. Step-Input Forcing
2. Harmonic Forcing
3. Periodic Forcing

9. What is the value of the angular velocity () such that natural frequency and time period are
equal?
At = 2, the natural frequency (fn) and time period (tp) are equal.

10. What is the phase difference between transmitted force and disturbing force if /n > 1.
In vibration isolation system, if /n > 1, then the phase difference between the transmitted
force and the disturbing force is 180.

Draw a graph showing the variation of amplitude transmissibility with respect to the variation
in damping factor and frequency ratio.

13. What is meant by magnification factor or dynamic magnifier?

Magnification factor or Dynamic magnifier is defined as the ratio of the maximum
displacement of forced vibration (x max) to the deflection due to static force (x o).
xmax
Magnification factor or Dynamic magnifier =
x0

14. Define Isolation factor or Transmissibility Factor.
