Extract

The natural frequencies and modes of vibration of a structure may be obtained more or less directly from experiments. The generalised masses and stiffnesses, however, are usually obtained indirectly from experimental investigations of the dynamic behaviour of the system. One of the techniques widely used for this purpose in the aircraft industry is known as the method of displaced frequenciesm.Stated briefly, the method consists of observing the changes in the natural frequencies caused by the addition of one or more small masses to the vibrating system.
