Kh. Low, AN ANALYTICAL-EXPERIMENTAL COMPARATIVE-STUDY OF VIBRATION ANALYSIS FOR LOADED BEAMS WITH VARIABLE BOUNDARY-CONDITIONS, Computers & structures, 65(1), 1997, pp. 97-107
In this article, a vibration analysis by using of eigenfunctions is pr
esented for the various beams carrying multiple masses. The analytical
results were compared with those obtained experimentally. A compariso
n is also made with an existing work in which the mode shape is repres
ented by polynomial approximation. The comparisons verify the validity
of the proposed model. A software implementation with interactive dis
plays enables one to quickly predict the vibration of the loaded beam
systems for a large range of mass ratios. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Lt
