In the present paper, we prove the existence, non-existence and multiplicity of positive normalized solutionswhich appears in free vibrations of elastic strings. The parameters a, b > 0 are prescribed as well as the mass c > 0. We can handle the nonlinearities g(s) in a unified way, which are either mass subcritical, mass critical or mass supercritical. Due to the presence of the non-local term b R N |∇u| 2 dx∆u, such problems lack the mountain pass geometry in the higher dimension case N ≥ 5. It becomes much tough to adopt the known approaches in dealing with semi-linear elliptic problems to investigate Kirchhoff problems in the entire space when N ≥ 5. Our result seems the first attempt in this aspect.
