On the Free Vibration of Immersed Linearly Tapered Beam with a Tip Mass

첨단 질량을 갖는 선형 원뿔대의 자유진동

A linearly tapered beam immersed partially in other material is considered and is modelled as a linearly tapered Bernoulli-Euler beam fixed at the bottom with a concentrated mass at the top. Its governing equations is derived and its free vibration analysis is performed for various boundary conditions. And the rotatory inertia of the eccentric lumped tip mass is considered. The problem of determining the natural frequencies leads to an eighth order determinant. The solutions of the frequency equations are obtained numerically. The non-dimensional frequency parameters are given in tabular form and the influence of non-dimensional parameters on natural frequency is discussed for various conditions.
