The present paper deals with the analysis of certain dynamic aspects of the blhaviour
of beams and plates which support elastically mounted masses.
Shear and rotatory inertia effects are not taken into account in the present investiga-
tion. An exact solution is presented in the case of a simply supported beam.
This solution can be easily extended to the problem of a simply supported rectangular
plate.
It is also shown that use of a variational formulation leads to accurate and simple
expressions for natural frequencies and dynamic displacements and stresses which are
ideal from a designer's viewpoint. The case of supports elastically restrained against
rotation is also considered.
The experimental phase of the investigation shon;ed good agreement with experi-
mental results.
1. INTRODUCTION
Naval and mechanical engineers are very often confronted with the problem of
mounting different varieties of engines and motors on structural elements. In order
to avoid dangerous resonance situations, the designer must be able to predict
natural frequencies of the overall mechanical system: structure-motor and its
elastic mounting.
Ultimately he should also determine mode shapes and dynamic stresses induced
by any dynamic disturbance generated by the engine (Fig. l).

Several papers have been written on the subject but in general it is assumed that
the mass is rigidly attached to a beam or plate. 1-6
The present paper deals with the solution of a few simple but practical problems
considering several types of structural elements and boundary conditions.

Consider the mechanical system shown in Fig. 2. If one neglects shear deformation
and rotatory inertia effects, the dynamic behaviour of the system is described by the
equations:

w ( x , t) = ~ x 2 = 0 (x = O , L ) (2)
The functional relation F(t) denotes the action of the spring-mass system on the
beam (Fig. 2).

Making z2 = wA. exp (iogt) and replacing in eqn. (3) results in the ordinary
differential equation:

where:

The particular solution of eqn. (4) is given by:

and replacing eqns. (6) and (7) in eqn. (1) one obtains:
Let W ( x ) and 3(x - 7) be expanded in terms of the infinite set of modal functions

In this case, the governing differential system is defined by eqn. (8) and the boundary

W(L/2) = 0 (24(a))
~ (L/2) d 2W

where ~0 is the flexibility coefficient of the supports (in the case of a rigid clamp
q~ = 0 and for a simply supported beam ~o = oo).
Since the modal functions involve non-trigonometric and hyperbolic functions,
it will be shown that it is more convenient to make use of a variational formulation.
The solution of the differential system is expressed in terms o f . a polynomial
expansion where each co-ordinate function satisfies identically the boundary
conditions. Substitution of the polynomial expression in eqn. (8) results in an error
or residual function. The Galerkin method is then used to minimise the error
expression. It is quite convenient to express W in the form:
N
W "~ E Aj(otyx'* + flix2 -t- l)x J (25)
jffi0
where ~tj and fly are obtained substituting each co-ordinate function in eqn. (24).
For instance, as a first approximation one can take the first term of eqn. (25).
The approximate solution is then given by:
W a ---- Ao(0~o X4 "4" flo X2 d- 1) (26)
For the free vibrations problem one makes F o -- 0 and, substituting eqn. (26),
one obtains the error function:
