Beam Torsional Vibration Frequency With End Mass

Calculate beam torsional vibration frequency for a beam with an end mass for modes 1 to 8.

The torsional natural vibration frequency for a beam with an end mass can be calculated by

`fn = β / (2 π L) √(G / ρ) `
`β tan(β) = (Jb)/(Jm) `

where :

fn = natural frequency [Hz]
β = mode factor
L = beam length
G = beam shear modulus
ρ = beam density
Jb = beam mass moment of inertia
Jm = end mass mass moment of inertia

The mode factor (β) can be solved iteratively for each mode (modes 1 to 8). The system is modelled as a beam fixed at one end, with a mass at the other (free) end.

Use the Result Table and Result Plot options to display tables and plots. Refer to the help pages for more details about the tools.

CALCULATOR : Beam Torsional Natural Vibration Frequency With End Mass (Circular Pipe) [PLUS]   ±

Calculate beam damped and undamped torsional natural vibration frequency for a circular beam with an end mass.

The system is modelled as a beam fixed at one end, with a mass at the other (free) end. The circular beam mass moment of inertia is calculated from the beam inside diameter, outside diameter, length and density. The mass moment of inertia of the end mass is calculated for either a soid circular mass, or a hollow circular mass. The natural frequency is calculated from the mass moment of inertia ratio of the beam and the end mass for modes 1 to 8. The ᵞ factor is calculated so that ᵞ tan(ᵞ) equals the inertia ratio. The damping factor = 0 for undamped vibration, and 1 for critically damped vibration.

Use the Result Table option to display the natural frequency versus either the mode number, or wall thickness type. Use the Result Plot option to display the natural frequency versus beam length and mode number, natural frequency versus inertia ratio, or ᵞ versus inertia ratio.

CALCULATOR : Beam Torsional Natural Vibration Frequency With End Mass (General Beam) [FREE]   ±

Calculate beam damped and undamped torsional natural vibration frequency for a general beam with an end mass (user defined properties).

The system is modelled as a beam fixed at one end, with a mass at the other (free) end. The circular beam mass moment of inertia and the mass moment of inertia of the end mass are user defined. The natural frequency is calculated from the mass moment of inertia ratio of the beam and the end mass for modes 1 to 8. The ᵞ factor is calculated so that ᵞ tan(ᵞ) equals the inertia ratio.
