Experiments
PART - A
1 Determination of natural frequency, logarithmic decrement, damping ratio and damping coefficient in a single degree of freedom vibrating systems (longitudinal and torsional).
2 Balancing of rotating masses
3 Determination of critical speed of a rotating shaft
4 Determination of equilibrium speed, sensitiveness, power and effort of Porter/Proell /Hartnel Governor.
PART - B
5 Determination of Fringe constant of Photo-elastic material using.
a) Circular disc subjected to diametral compression.
b) Pure bending specimen (four-point bending.
6 Determination of stress concentration using Photo-elasticity for simple components like plate with a hole under tension or bending, circular disk with circular hole under compression, 2D Crane hook
