An Experimental Investigation on the Vibration Responses of a Mild Steel Sandwich Shaft Disc System

Article Preview

Abstract:

The main aim of this work is to identify the natural frequency of mild steel sandwich shaft disc system. An experimental evaluation is completed to evaluate the natural frequency and damping response of mild steel sandwich shaft disc system using Lab VIEW 8.5 software and National Instrument’s data acquisition (DAQ) system. The validation of the experimental results carried out using ANSYS 13.0, a finite element analysis software package. In addition, the effect of shaft thickness, disc thickness, shaft length variation, second, third, four and five systems also studied. The outcome of the results show that the increase in the parameter values have significant effect in the vibration responses of the mild steel sandwich shaft disc system which provide very much helpful information for the designers and researchers.
