Good source homework problems for beam spring structures?

[Umayer]

Hello there,

In this semester I'm studying the vibrations course. In this course we get questions like calculating the total stiffness, set up differential equations and so on. The book that we use (Theory of Vibrations) has not been very useful, our exams give beam spring structures related problems and the book does not really give those kind of problems. Our teacher gave us the lecture sheets but these are impossible to follow since no clear explanation is given.

My question now is, are there any good study materials available that explains step by step how to solve beam spring structures? My mechanics book does not have these kind of questions and when I try to look up on the internet, I can only find videos or websites that explain how set up differential equations of a simple mass spring system. I've attached an example how our questions look like. I'm trying to find more of these types of problems so I can practice and understand more.

Please help me. I'm really desperate T_T

Dear student,

Thank you for reaching out regarding your struggles with your vibrations course. As a scientist who has studied and researched vibrations extensively, I understand the difficulties that can arise when trying to solve problems related to beam spring structures.

Firstly, I would recommend speaking with your teacher about your concerns and difficulties with the lecture sheets. They may be able to provide additional resources or clarify any confusing concepts. Additionally, it may be helpful to form a study group with your classmates to work through problems together and support each other.

In terms of study materials, I would suggest looking for textbooks specifically focused on beam spring structures or structural vibrations. These may provide more detailed explanations and examples of how to solve problems similar to the ones you are struggling with. You can also search for online resources or forums where students and professionals discuss and solve problems related to beam spring structures.

I understand your frustration with the lack of available resources, but I encourage you to keep searching and asking for help. Solving these types of problems can be challenging, but with persistence and support, you will be able to understand and excel in your course.

Best of luck in your studies.
