Examples
• Ball on a string
• Beam(s)
• For a simple mechanical systems it is
relatively easy to systematically effect a
change in the natural frequency.

• The Eigenvalues of M-1K are the natural
frequencies of vibration (squared).
• The Eigenvectors of M-1K are the mode shapes
(the relative displacement of each degree of
freedom)

have to do in order to change
the lowest natural frequency.
15 Truss Structure
Truss Structures
• Rigid beams
– Axial forces only
• Pin-connected
– Concentric joints
– Welded or bolted
• Bridges, towers, exoskeletons
16 A truss has large number of natural
frequencies and complex motion.
Truss : Model as Lumped Masses
with Connecting Springs
Link Stiffness is a function
of Length, Area, density
Half of the mass of Each
Link is assumed to sit at a
node. (A function of Areas)

• We expect ground vibration induced by a
nearby railroad near 100 Hz and 159 Hz.

• The optimized design of the cell tower has a
natural frequency of 250 Hz.
• This vibration of 100 Hz and 159 Hz will
now have minimal effect.
