Abstract: In this paper, a method of eigen-analysis for a vibrating elastic system is presented. The model analyzed is a Bernoulli-Euler beam having a slender payload at the free end and being attached ...

Abstract: This paper presents a procedure for deriving dynamic equations for manipulators containing both rigid and flexible links. The equations are derived using Hamilton’s principle, and are nonlinear ...

Abstract: The present work is concerned with the determination of the fundamental frequencies of a simply supported-clamped-simply supported-clamped (SCSC) plate carrying a concentrated mass. An energy method ...

Abstract: The present work is concerned with the determination of the fundamental frequencies of rectangular plates carrying a mass mounted at various positions. Although direct solution of the Navier and Lévy methods is not generally ...
