The general formulation of a determinate solution problem is deduced for the transverse vibrations of a thin loaded rod. The vibration frequencies of a thin homogeneous rod carrying a concentrated mass as a function of the load's position and mass are exactly solved. The dynamic measurement method of Young's modulus of the rods is presented within this theory. Our measurements of Young's modulus in the dynamic method agree with those in the traditional bending method, therefore the theory is verified by our experiments.
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.
