Write the equations of small amplitude motion of the vehicle and obtain the frequency
equation in terms of the given parameters. Given that k1a =k2b, determine the natural
frequencies of the free vibrations of the vehicle and sketch the corresponding modes of
vibration. Also state or sketch the modes of vibration if k1a k2b.

A proposed environmental vibration test on a radar pod, attached to the wing of a high
performance aircraft, involves applying a single lateral random force to the pod by means
of an exciter and rigid connecting rod, as shown in Figure 6 (a). The pod, considered rigid,
is attached to the wing by a flexible pylon, and the combination has a lateral mode of
vibration at fn =15 Hz, with a non-dimensional viscous damping coefficient equal to
=0.05 of critical. Its lateral vibration behavior at the exciter attachment point can be
represented by the single-DOF lumped equivalent system shown in Figure 6 (b), where the
equivalent mass m is 100 kg, and the natural frequency and damping coefficient are as
given above. The applied force time history is F(t) and the resulting displacement history

is y(t). The force power spectral density, defined at the exciter attachment rod, is held
constant at 4000 N2/Hz in the range 7.550 Hz, and is zero outside these limits. The force
supplied by the exciter has a Gaussian probability density, with zero mean, but is limited at
source to 3 times the RMS value in each direction.
Find (a) the RMS (or standard deviation) value, F, of the force required from the exciter,
and its maximum and minimum values. (b) the RMS (or standard deviation) displacement,
Y, of the point on the pod where the exciter rod is attached, and the total travel of the
exciter rod.
