    How does a crack in a free-free bar affect its natural frequency?

    if a free-free bar has a crack located somewhere along it's length, in order to find the natural frequency of the bar do you split the bar on either side of the crack and assume each bar is free/excited? What would the equation for natural frequency be in this situation?

    Cantilever Beam, Tapered in breadth, uniform thickness, natural frequency

    Hey there I need to find the natural frequency of a Cantilever Beam. The beam is tapered in breadth, but has a uniform thickness. So basically the end goal is an equation for f as a function of the angle of the side cut. Clamped at one end L=constant B=changes though the length of the...

    Natural isomorphisms between dual spaces

    EDIT: finite dimensional only! Hello, I would like to ask a question; I understand that the cannonical "evaluation map" ( (p(v))(f) = f(v) , f is a functional, v in V ) from V -> V** is a "natural" isomorphism ( we don't have to select any bases, the isomorphism relies on no choices ), so V...

    How can mass distribution affect the derivation of a natural frequency equation?

    Hi I want to derive a natural frequency equation for a system. I saw this question in a book. so they gave us an equation frequency = (1/2pi) * ( sqrt( k/m1+m2+m3/3+4m4+Ic/r2) ) Ic = Moment of inertia of pulley about rotational axis r = effective radius of pulley k = spring constant now the...
