...D. Wang A straight, slender beam with elastically restrained boundaries is investigated for optimal design of an intermediate elastic support with the minimum stiffness for the purpose of raising the fundamental frequency of the beam to a given value or to its upper bound. Based on the optimality...

... displacement, or nodes, along any arbitrarily supported elastic structure during harmonic excitations. Nodes can often be enforced along an elastic structure by attaching suitably chosen two-degree-of-freedom oscillators. In application, however, the actual selection of the oscillator parameters also depends...

...E. Özkaya; S. M. Bağdatlı; H. R. Öz In this study, nonlinear transverse vibrations of an Euler–Bernoulli beam with multiple supports are considered. The beam is supported with immovable ends. The immovable end conditions cause stretching of neutral axis and introduce cubic nonlinear terms...

... to quantization error in the encoders. The torsional system, Educational Control Products Model 205a ( 12 ), consists of three disks supported by rotational bearings and connected by torsional springs. The system is configured to allow all three disks to rotate freely; thus, the system has a rigid-body mode...
