In this study, shifting a certain number of natural frequencies of a dynamic system to the desired values with the concentrated mass modifications is considered. A new method is proposed in order to determine the necessary mass modifications. The method proposed is based on the Sherman-Morrison formula and uses the receptances that are related to the modification coordinates of the original system. The system is sequentially modified at the predefined locations by a number of unknown masses which equal the number of frequencies that will be shifted. The method yields a set of nonlinear equations which equal the number of shifting frequencies, then the necessary masses are estimated by solving these equations numerically. The efficiency of the proposed method is shown by various numerical and experimental applications. It is shown that the method is very effective and can be used for real applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
