Extract

This note presents in matrix form the equations of motion of a rotating and vibrating beam. The natural frequencies of the system are obtained by plotting an impedance-frequency diagram and noting the frequencies at which the impedance vanishes. Uncoupled bending vibrations are considered but the analysis can easily be extended to include coupled bending-torsion vibrations. The arrangement of the method for solution on a digital computor is quite straight-forward.
