Structural Vibration Frequency Analysis of Beams
In Structural Vibration Frequency Analysis of Beams, you'll learn ...
- Compute the fundamental natural frequency of beams carrying one or more concentrated weights
- Compute the fundamental natural frequency of beams carrying uniformly distributed weight and concentrated weight
- Determine the effect axial loading on the fundamental frequency
Overview
Fundamental natural frequency is an important parameter in structural dynamics analysis and applications. A number of simple formulas for the computation of the fundamental natural frequency of beam vibration under a variety of boundary conditions and loading are presented. Some are approximate formulas and some are exact. An estimate of the error is given for the approximate formulas whenever possible. The formulas presented here are simple enough that the fundamental frequency could be obtained by hand calculation without recourse to computers or finite element analysis. The formulas are demonstrated with nine worked out numerical examples.
