Analyze on a Coupled Beam Vibration System by FEM (I): Theory

Article Preview

Abstract:

An approach based on finite element analysis is presented to analyze the free vibration of coupled beams with spring-mass attachments. The equation of motion of the beam system with attachments is established by conventional finite element method. The natural frequencies and the associated mode shapes are obtained from the generalized eigenvalue problem. It is found that the results from the proposed method agree well with those from analytical methods in the literature.
