Abstract

The application of Courant's maximum-minimum principle to the problem of maximum raising of the lowest undamped eigenfrequency in flexural vibration of beams is reviewed. A detailed numerical study of the influence on eigenfrequencies of varying locations and stiffnesses of one or two additional lateral supports is performed for a cantilever Euler-Bernoulli beam. Sensitivities and cost optima are discussed.
