What is Free Lateral Vibrations of a Beam Under Tension with a Concentrated Mass at the Mid-point about?

An analytical procedure to determine the fundamental vibrational natural frequency of a uniform beam (flexible support) under axial tension is presented. The beam is built in at both ends, and has a concentrated mass (rigid body) attached at the mid-point. Based on this procedure, a graph is developed which gives a non-dimensionalized fundamental vibrational natural frequency parameter in terms of non-dimensionalized mass and tension parameters. This graph can be employed to determine changes in natural frequency which result from varying only the tensile force. The analytical solution of a particular geometry is verified through comparison with experimental results.

Who reads Free Lateral Vibrations of a Beam Under Tension with a Concentrated Mass at the Mid-point?
