On the Dynamic Analysis of a Beam Carrying Multiple Mass-Spring-Mass-Damper System

The exact natural frequencies, mode shapes, and the corresponding orthogonality relations are important in forced vibration analysis via modal expansion. In the present paper, a free vibration analysis is conducted to determine the exact natural frequencies and mode shapes of an axially loaded beam...
