Prof TVKB Continuous Systems

This document discusses different types of continuous system vibrations including transverse string vibrations, longitudinal bar vibrations, and lateral beam vibrations. It covers the relevant wave equations and solutions using the method of separation of variables. The document also provides an example problem involving calculating the tension required in a cord fixed at both ends to produce fundamental frequencies of 1 Hz and 5 Hz.

Free Vibration of a String with Both


Ends Fixed

This equation gives all possible vibrations of the


string; the particular vibration that occurs is
uniquely determined by the specified initial
conditions. The initial conditions give unique
values of the constants Cn and Dn . If the initial
conditions are specified as

The cord of a musical instrument is fixed at both


ends and has a length 1.5 m, diameter 0.4 mm, and
density 7000 kg/m3. Find the tension required in
order to have a fundamental frequency of (a) 1 Hz
and (b) 5 Hz.
