To obtain the solution, Galerkin¡¯s method was used. The discussed torsionally vibrating mechatronic system consists of mechanical system, which is a continuous bar of circular cross-section, clamped on its ends. The electrical subsystem of the considered mechatronic system is a ring transducer to be perfectly bonded to the bar surface.Findings: this study is that the parameters of the transducer have an important influence on the values of natural frequencies and on the form of the characteristics of the said mechatronic system. The results of the calculations were not only presented in a mathematical form but also as transients of the examined dynamical characteristic which are a function of frequency of the assumed excitation.Research limitations/implications: is that the linear mechatronic system was considered, for this type of systems, such approach is sufficient.Practical implications: of this researches was that another approach is presented, that means in the domain of frequency spectrum analysis. The method used and the obtained results can be of some value for designers of mechatronic systems.Originality/value: of this paper is that the mechatronic system, created from mechanical and electrical subsystems with electromechanical bondage was examined. This approach is other than those considered elsewhere. %K Applied mechanics %K Torsionaly vibrating shaft %K Approximate method %K Flexibility %U http://www.journalamme.org/papers_vol26_1/2614.pdf
