 2. Cantilever beam system
A system is said to be a cantilever beam
system if one end of the system is rigidly fixed
to a support and the other end is free to
move.

Look at few of the real systems shown below,

try to make suitable assumptions to deduce
the system to a cantilever beam

Vibration analysis of a cantilever beam

system is important as it can explain and
help us analyze a number of real life
systems.

As shown in above examples, real

systems can be simplified to a cantilever
beam, thereby helping us make design
changes accordingly for the most efficient
systems.
3.Modeling of mechanical system
When a real system is approximated to a simple
cantilever beam, some assumptions are made for
modelling and analysis (Important assumptions for
undamped system are given below):

-The mass (m) of the whole system is considered to be lumped

at the free end of the beam.
- No energy consuming element (damping) is present in the
system i.e. undamped vibration.
- The complex cross section and type of material of the real
system has been simplified to equate to a Cantilever beam.

Could also put mass at mid-point:
Continuous to discrete (2 DOF)

Each m is one half of total mass of beam for

constant cross-section
