Abstract
In this paper, vibration characteristics of a partially covered, doubl e-sandwich cantilever beam are evaluated experimentally and compared t o the theoretical results of Levy and Chen for partially covered beams with and without end mass [14, 17]. The results obtained indicate tha t the theoretical models serve very well in providing the frequency fa ctors and loss factors for the system being investigated. (C) 1997 Els evier Science Ltd.
