Abstract

This study revisits the free vibration of a cantilever beam with a mass-spring system attached at the tip of the beam. We recover the natural frequencies that were reported in some special case, and establish that there could be an additional, “lost” frequency that was somehow not uncovered in previous investigations. This frequency is found hereinafter.
