Free vibration and stability analysis of a cantilever beam axially loaded by an intermittently attached tendon

• A system consisting of the Euler-Bernoulli beam subjected to tendon loading is studied. The attached at tip and in several locations Computational free vibration analysis conducted validated. effect number location attachment points evaluated. Structural stability beam-tendon investigated. Free Euler–Bernoulli axially loaded by a studied paper. cantilever as well spanwise using mechanical points. This novel modelled set partial differential equations coupling between ensured boundary continuity conditions. value problem solver results are thoroughly experimentally validated bench-top experiment. In particular, their on frequency-loading diagram investigated for first time. It found that applied axial load causes frequency shift beam-dominated natural frequencies, loci veering tendon-dominated modes. Both these features shown be dependent addition, structural numerically it observed critical force with intermittently always higher than no
