3.10. Work Problem 3.3 using the Newmark Beta method with   1/ 2 ,   1/ 6 , and h  t  0.1T . Compare the
results by plotting the displacement for both cases.
Solution
From problem 3.3 we had 0.2 x  32 x  5  100t , T  0.5 , so h  0.05 . Following Table 3.6 we have
uo (0)  uo (0)  0 and uo (0)  5 / 0.2  25 . Next, using   1/ 2 ,
  1/ 6 , m  0.2 ,   0, k  32 , h  0.05, and p(t)  100t  5 we determine

4.1. Write the equations of motion for the systems shown in Figure 4.21 (a)...(e). Write the elements of the mass
and stiffness (or flexibility) matrices (no damping). Write the frequency equation of each system and solve the
equation.
Figure 4.21 Multiple degree of freedom systems.
Solution
(a) The deformation will resemble that
shown. Assume no axial deformation of
the columns. The horizontal members
will experience the forces shown
(related to the spring rates k1 and k2 ,
defined as
k1  k2  k 

The equations of motion are

m1 x1  2k1  x1  a(t )   2k2  x2  x1   0
Since k1  k2  k 

Assume x1  A sin t , x2  B sin t , a(t )  P(t )  0 so that we have
x1   A 2 sin t and x2   B 2 sin t

5.3 Consider a cantilevered beam of length L subjected to a uniform load q applied over its entire length. Assume
 ( x) is approximated by the static deflection curve for the beam. In addition, assume the beam dimensions are
such that I  bh3 /12 and A  bh . Use Rayleigh’s method to determine the fundamental frequency for this
beam. Assume the beam is aluminum and the height can be 25, 50, or 75 mm and the length is between 1 and 3
meters. Plot the frequency as a function of beam length for each height.
Solution
The static deflection curve is w( x) 

5.5 The tapered circular shaft shown in Figure 5.23 is subjected to a longitudinal vibration, for which the EI term in
the strain energy is replaced by EA and  " is replaced by du / dx . Using Rayleigh’s method, approximate the
x
lowest natural frequency of this shaft. Assume the displacement is approximated by u( x)  A sin

6.1. A string is fixed to a mass and a spring at point A and fixed to a wall at point B as shown in Figure 6.21 (a) and
a free body diagram of the mass is shown in Figure 6.21 (b). Use a free body diagram approach to develop an
expression which allows you to determine the natural frequencies. Approximate the first two natural frequencies
by assuming the cable length is l  1 , the spring rate is k A  25 , the mass is m  0.005 , and T /   10,000
Figure 6.21 String with a spring and mass at one end.
Solution
Using the free body diagram we sum forces vertically and get
mvA (0, t )  k Ava (0, t )  T sin
Assuming small angles so that sin     dy / dx 
mvA (0, t )  k Av A (0, t )  T
v A
(0, t ) we can write this as

Using vA  X ( x)  A cos t  B sin t  and X  x   C cos

Since    / c and c  T /   100 we get
1  60.59 , 2  253.55
