(Received4 December 1973, and in revisedform 18 April 1974) This note is concerned with the determination of natural frequencies and modal shapes of a clamped-free beam which carries a finite mass, M, at the free end. Accurate results are presented for different (concentrated mass)/(beam mass) ratios, M[Mo. It is also the purpose of this note to analyze the variation of the maximum dynamic stress as a function of the parameter M/M~ for the first mode of vibration.
1. INTRODUCTION
Characteristic functions and frequencies have been extensively tabulated for nearly all common types of beams: clamped-clamped, damped-free, clamped-supported, freesupported and supported-supported [1, 2]. This note deals with the determination of the first ten natural frequencies of a clamped-free beam which carries a finite mass, M, at the free end (Figure 1). Shear and rotatory inertia effects are disregarded.

It is important to point out that the frequency equation was obtained by Prescott [3] but no extensive numerical information has been published in the open literature. Modal shapes and the effect of the mass M on the maximum dynamic stress when the structure vibrates in the first mode are also investigated.

where E is the Young's modulus, I the constant moment of inertia, A the constant crosssectional area, p the mass density and M the concentrated mass at the free end. Using the standard method of separation of variables, one assumes "(5)

The solution of the ordinary differential equation X ~tv~- k 4 X = 0 is simply X = C~ cos k x + C2 sin k x + Ca cosh k x + C4 sinh kx.

3. DETERMINATION OF THE EIGENVALUES In order to calculate the roots, yt, of the transcendental equation (11) it is convenient to express it in the form M
z(y) = - - y ( c o s y s i n h y - s i n y c o s h y ) + c o s y c o s h y + I = 0.
(I 3)
Mr The function z(y) shows rapid oscillations, attaining very large values between successive roots. The slope of the function at each root is, therefore, very close to vertical. This characteristic of the function suggests the use of the method of false position to ensure convergence in the determination of the roots [4]. In order to initiate the iterative process, the roots were first bracketed by means of a straight search process. The algorithmic procedure was implemented in a Hewlett-Packard 9810 A. TABLE 1

Table 1 shows the values of the first ten roots of equation (11) for M[Mv = 0, 0.20, 0.40, . . . , 10.

The first five modes of vibration are shown in Figures 2 (a)-(f) for M[M~ = O, 0-20,'0.40, 0.60, 0.80 and 1.00. In the case where M[Mv = 0 the calculated co-ordinates of the nodes are in good agreement with those available in the technical literature. The only noticeable difference is in the case of the second node corresponding to the second mode since reference [5] indicates (x/L)2_2 = 0.774 while the result obtained in the present investigation is 0-783.
5. VARIATION OF THE MAXIMUM DYNAMIC STRESS WITH THE PARAMETER M/Mv For the first mode one has
W, = C1 X(x/L) V(t).

Taking Cx = l/X(x]L)lx_z and replacing this in equation (15) results in the expression

In this form, the tip deflection is equal to unity. Using well-known results from the Bernoulli-Navier beam theory one can easily show
