EN4: ynamics and Vibrations Homework 6: Forced Vibrations ue Friday April 5th School of Engineering Brown University 1. Springs are used for many different engineering and science applications. Typical shock absorbers for passenger cars have the spring constant approximately 1 to a few hundred kn/m while a physics laboratory slinky has its typical spring constant in the range of.1 1. N/m. As shown in the following chart, the contact-mode atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever has very soft spring constant which is close to a very soft slinky. In AFM community, researchers use effective masss m eff to model the vibration of the AFM cantilever for the first mode natural frequency (or resonant frequency) n1 to have, where k is the spring constant of the cantilever. n1 km eff Find the effective masses for the threee different AFM cantilevers listed below. Use (3kHz, 48N/m) for the short and (19kHz, 4N/m) for the long cantilevers of ynamic mode / tapping mode AFM, and (8kHz,.N/m) for the short and (1kHz,.1N/m) for the long cantilevers of the contact mode AFM. ompare the effective masses to the real mass of the cantilever (density times the volume). The cantilever is made of silicon and 3 the density is.65 g cm. Standard cantilever types for common applications: ynamic mode / tapping mode AFM Available as a long (5 µm) or short (15 µm) cantilever Force Modulation mode AFM ontact mode AFM Available as a long (45 µm) or short (5 µm) cantilever Length: Typically 15-5 µm Width: Typically 4 µ m Thickness: 4-8 µm Resonant Freq: 19-3 KHz Spring onstant: 4-48 N/m Length: Typically 5 µm Width: Typically 45µm Thickness:.5 µm Resonant Freq: 6 KHz Spring onstant: 3 N/m Length: Typically 5-45µm Width: Typically 8-4 µm Thickness: 1- µm Resonant Freq: 1-8 KHz Spring onstant:.1 -.

A passenger car has front and rear suspensions composed of identical four spring dashpot shock absorbers, one for each wheel. The weight of the car is 19kg and the initial sag (shortening of the spring by the weight) of the shock absorber is 14cm.

It was defined that the damping is critical if the damping ratio 1. For most of passenger cars the shock absorbers are designed underdamped to have a typical value of.56.

A shock absorber is driven by steady-state elongation cycles of x t sint, and the corresponding steady-state net force is measured to be F t Asint Bcost.
