In this paper, an analytical approach is proposed for determining vibration characteristics of cracked non-uniform continuous Timoshenko beam carrying an arbitrary number of spring-mass systems. This method is based on the Timoshenko beam theory, transfer matrix method and numerical assembly method to obtain natural frequencies and mode shapes. Firstly, the beam is considered to be divided into several segments by spring-mass systems and support points, and four undetermined coefficients of vibration modal function are contained in each sub-segment. The undetermined coefficient matrices at spring-mass systems and pinned supports are obtained by using equilibrium and continuity conditions. Then, the overall matrix of undetermined coefficients for the whole vibration system is obtained by the numerical assembly technique. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of a cracked non-uniform continuous Timoshenko beam carrying an arbitrary number of spring-mass systems are obtained from the overall matrix combined with half-interval method and Runge-Kutta method. Finally, two numerical examples are used to verify the validity and reliability of this method, and the effects of cracks on the transverse vibration mode shapes and the rotational mode shapes are compared. The influences of the crack location, depth, position of spring-mass system and other parameters on natural frequencies of non-uniform continuous Timoshenko beam are discussed.

힘평형 서보 가속도계의 성능특성을 결정하는 4개의 팔로 구성된 질량지지 장치를 설계·제작하였다. 팔의 두께와 인가질량의 변화에 따른 질량지지 장치의 응답특성을 유한 요소법을 이용하여 계산하고, 레이저 간섭계를 이용하여 간섭무의 수의 변화와 응답 전압값을 이용하여 가속도계의 응답특성을 측정하였다 팔의 길이와 두께가 변화함에 따라 응답특성은 크게 변화하였으며, 인가질량의 변화는 질량지지 장치의 응답특성변화에 큰 영향을 미치지 못함을 알 수 있었다. 수치해석과 레이저 간섭계로 측정한 공진주파수가 5%차이의 근사한 값을 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper investigates the free vibration analysis of double-beam system coupled by a two-degree-of-freedom mass-spring system. In order to generalize the model, the main beams are assumed to be elastically restrained against translation and rotation at one end and free at the other. Furthermore, the mass-spring system is elastically connected to the beams at adjustable positions by means of four translational and rotational springs. The governing differential equations of the beams and the mass-spring system are derived and analytically solved by using the Fourier transform method. Moreover, as a second way, a finite element solution is derived. The frequency parameters and mode shapes of some diverse cases are obtained using both methods. Comparison of obtained results by two methods shows the accuracy of both solutions. The influence of system parameters on the free vibration response of the studied mechanical system is examined.

Corrugation of railway track can be caused by the various dynamic behavior of travelling wheels and track. In this paper, the coupled vibrations of travelling wheel and railway track are analyzed as the cause of corrugations. To analyze the coupled vibrations, the track supported by the sleepers and the traveling wheel are identified to the elastically supported infinite beam and the spring-mass system which runs at constant speed. The Hertzian contact spring is considered betwen the infinite beam and spring-mass system. The dynamic responses of elastically supported infinite beam and spring-mass system are calculated. The cause and development of rail corrugation are discussed in the view point of contact force fluctuation affected by the elastic supports and the corrugated surface profile of the track. By the obtained results, the possibilities of resonance are checked between the excitation by the corrugated surface profile and the natural frequency of contact spring-moving mass system. It may be thought to a development of railway corrugation.

The goal of this paper is to determine the eigenvalues of a uniform rectangular plate carrying any number of spring-damper-mass systems using an analytical-and-numerical-combined method (ANCM). To this end, a technique was presented to replace each "spring-damper-mass" system by a massless equivalent "spring-damper" system with the specified effective spring constant and effective damping coefficient. Then, the mode superposition approach was used to transform the partial differential equation of motion into the matrix equation, and the eigenvalues of the complete system were determined from the associated characteristic equation. To verify the reliability of the presented theory, all numerical results obtained from the ANCM were compared with those obtained from the conventional finite element method (FEM) and good agreement was achieved. Since the order of the property matrices for the equation of motion obtained from the ANCM is much lower than that obtained from the FEM, the CPU time required by the ANCM is much less than that by the FEM.

Developed in this paper a mass-spring engine to represent and manipulate deformable objects. The deformable object model is a basic technology in the ‘Tangible Space Initiative’. The mass-spring model consists of structural, shear and bending springs. Various forces like external, friction, gravity, spring, and damping forces are considered and collision with planes and spheres are treated. When a sphere collide mass-spring model, mass-spring engine calculates external force to interface mass-spring model. A prototype system is implemented in C on an MS windows machine.

This study is concerned with the free vibration analysis of an inextensible uniform rope with a spring-mass system at the tip. The rope is hanged vertically in a gravitational field. This problem is related to the free vibration of an elevator rope connected to an elevator cage. The equation of motion and the corresponding boundary conditions are derived by using the Hamilton's principle. The general solution of the governing equation of motion is expressed in terms of Bessel functions. The characteristic equation was derived by applying the boundary conditions. The characteristic values which are in fact non-dimensionalized natural frequencies were obtained numerically. The effects of mass and spring constant were investigated. The numerical results show how the tip mass and spring affect the natural frequencies of the rope.

The paper describes the vibration characteristics of the mechanical system consisting of a uniform Timoshenko beam with a guided mass and an elastic spring support. The free end of the beam does not rotate and the spring attatched to the guided mass is elastically restrained against translation. The guided mass is assumed to be a rigid body having a finite size, but not a mass point as it has been assumed so far. The effect of magnitudes, rotary inertia and the size of the guided mass on the vibration characteristics is fully investigated by the numerical simulation using FEM and experiment. In order to verify the eigenvalue sensitivity for considered system, comparison exact solutions with FEM is conducted, and a good agreement between two solutions is also highlighted.
