Frequency Response of Axial Vibration of Continuous Beam as Five Lumped Masses
structures are widely used in many engineering applications; such as
wings, buildings, bridges, micromechanical
overhead transmission lines, as well as many others in the aerospace, mechanical, and civil industries. Numerous authors have studied the transverse vibrations of
carrying masses or spring-mass-damper
Most of the studies reported in the literature are based on linear vibration models. 1–9 A few studies can be found on lateral vibration of
under axial loads. 10–12 It is important to note that the lateral vibrations of
under tensile axial load are also of practical interest in many engineering applications. In the design of large flexible solar arrays, the boom that supports the array is under pre-tensile stresses due to the tension that must be maintained in the
substrate. Bokaian et al. examined a free
for an axially loaded
with different combinations of

behaves like a string if the dimensionless tension parameter was greater than. 12 Barry et al. studied both free and forced vibration of an axially loaded
carrying multiple spring-mass-damper
11 They presented a generalized orthogonality conditions and showed that using the classical orthogonality condition for the
of a loaded
can lead to erroneous results. All the reported studies so far are based on linear vibration models, which are usually sufficient for predicting the dynamic characteristics of the
when dealing with small deformations. However, when dealing with higher deformation, nonlinearity should be included for accurate modeling. For
problems under immovable
the most common nonlinearity is attributed to mid-plane stretching. A thorough review of the subject was examined by Nayfeh et al. 13,14 Several authors have also investigated
due to mid-plane stretching. 15–22 Burgreen studied the free
of pin-ended column. 15 Ozkaya et al. studied the
of

and carrying one intermediate point mass. 18 They extended their work by investigating the same problem but with various
18 and with multiple intermediate point masses. 20 All their works demonstrated a hardening type nonlinearity. The
of a
carrying one intermediate spring-mass
was examined by Pakdemirli et al. 21 They postulated that the mid-plane stretching and the spring-mass
had a great effect on the frequency-response curves. Barry et al. extended the work of Pakdemirli et al. by including multiple intermediate mass-spring-damper support, and various
22 However, they treated the intermediate masses as point masses therefore neglecting the mass rotational inertia. At this point it is worth mentioning that in all the aforementioned
references, the authors treated the mass as particles instead of rigid bodies. In the present work, we analytically examined for the first time the
of an axially loaded
carrying multiple rigid masses. This work is an extension of our previous work 22 and the work of Ozkaya. 20 We presented explicit expressions for the frequency
mode shapes, nonlinear frequency, and the modulation
for the phase and amplitude. The validity of these analytical expressions were demonstrated through
and via comparison with results in the literature. We conducted parametric studies to predict the effect of the mass moment of inertia and tension on the nonlinear frequency and response of the

The results also show very good agreement with a maximum percentage of error of 0.8%. Table III shows the effect of attaching multiple rigid bodies on the natural frequencies. As expected, the results indicate that the
natural frequencies decreases with increasing number of intermediate rigid masses.

As for the nonlinear
the validity is demonstrated via comparison of the results in the literature and it is depicted in Fig. 2 . The results show an excellent agreement. For validation purpose, the tension is taken to be s = 0. As observed in Fig. 2 , the curves bend to the right, which is an indication of hardening type nonlinearity. The effect of the tension on the nonlinear natural frequency is depicted in Fig. 3 . The results indicate that the stretching of the curve shifts from right to left for . It is also observed that the stretching to the left is more pronounced with increasing tension. Fig. 4 examines the role of the mass rotational inertia on the nonlinear frequency. The results show that the stretching decreases with increasing rotational inertia. In the forced response
the forcing amplitude is and the damping coefficient is = 0.2. The influence of the tension on the frequency response curve is depicted in Fig. 5 . As seen previously, the curve tends to bend more to the left with increasing tension. In Fig. 6 , the effect of varying the rotational inertia on the frequency response curve is examined. The results show that the frequency response curve tends to bend more to the left with decreasing rotational inertia. This observation is an indication that the tension and the rotational inertia have opposite effect on the frequency response curve. The effect of attaching multiple intermediate rigid bodies is depicted in Fig. 7 . The results indicate that the stretching of the frequency response curve tends to decrease as the number of intermediate rigid bodies is increased. This is an indication of the reduction in the softening type nonlinearity. These observations are in agreement with the literature for . In that, the hardening nonlinearity type is more pronounced as the number of intermediate point masses increases.
In conclusion, this paper presents the
of an axially loaded simply-supported
carrying multiple intermediate rigid bodies. For the first time, explicit expressions are presented for the characteristic
mode shapes, nonlinear frequency, and modulation
for the steady state phase and steady state amplitude. The validity of the analytical model is demonstrated using
and results in the literature. The numerical simulations indicate that the presence of the tension in the
shifts the nonlinearity type from hardening to softening and that the softening type nonlinearity is more pronounced with increasing tension. However this softening nonlinearity tends to decrease with both increasing mass rotational inertia and increasing number of intermediate rigid bodies.
