Aimed Control of the Frequency Spectrum of Eigenvibrations of Elastic Plates With a Finite Number of Degrees of Freedom of Masses by Superimposing Additional Constraints

As is known, for some elastic systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom of masses, for which thedirections of motion of the masses are parallel and lie in the same plane, methods have been developed for creatingadditional constraints that purposefully change the spectrum of natural frequencies. In particular, theory and algorithm forthe formation of aimed additional constraints have been developed for the rods, the introduction of each of which doesnot change any of the modes of natural vibrations, but only increases the value of only one frequency, without changingthe values of the remaining frequencies. The distinctive paper is devoted to the method of forming a matrix of additionalstiffness coefficients corresponding to such aimed constraint in the problem of natural vibrations of rods. This method canalso be applied to solving a similar problem for elastic systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom, in which thedirections of motion of the masses are parallel, but not lie in the same plane. In particular, such systems include plates.However, the algorithms for the formation of aimed additional constraints, developed for rods and based on the propertiesof rope polygons, cannot be used without significant changes in a similar problem for plates. The method for the formationof design constraint schemes that purposefully change the spectrum of frequencies of natural vibrations of elastic plateswith a finite number of degrees of freedom of masses, will be considered in the next work.
