Linear Vibrations of Frames Carrying a Concentrated Mass

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Karaelmas University, 67100, Zonguldak, Turkey

Abstract

The free and forced in-plane and out-of-plane vibrations of frames are investigated. The beam has a straight and a curved part. It has a circular cross-section. A concentrated mass is also located at different points of the frame with different mass ratios. FEM is used to analyze the problem. The in-plane and out-of-plane natural frequencies, point and transfer receptances of the system are obtained to determine the sensitive and non-sensitive frequency intervals depending on the location and direction of the force.
