Buchacz %J Journal of Achievements in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering %D 2009 %I World Academy of Materials and Manufacturing Engineering %X Purpose: of this paper is to investigate the transients of characteristics of vibrating beams obtained by the exact and approximate methods and to answer to the question ¨C if the method can be used to nominate the characteristics of mechatronic systems.Design/methodology/approach: was to nominate the relevance or irrelevance between the characteristics obtained by considered methods ¨C especially concerning the relevance of the natural frequencies-poles of characteristics of mechanical part of mechatronic system. The main subject of the research is the continuous vibrating beam.Findings: this approach is fact, that approximate solutions fulfill all conditions for vibrating beams and some conditions only, particularly for vibrating beams as the subsystems of mechatronic systems.Research limitations/implications: is that linear continuous flexibly vibrating beam is considered.Practical implications: of this study is the main point is the analysis and the examination of flexibly vibrating discrete-continuous mechatronic systems which characteristics can be nominated with approximate methods only.Originality/value: of this approach relies on the comparison of the compatibility of the characteristics of the mechatronic and mechanical systems with demanded accuracy, nominated with approximate method. %K Analysis and modeling %K Applied Mechanics %K Exact and approximate methods %K Continuous system %K Vibrating beam %U http://www.journalamme.org/papers_vol34_1/3417.pdf
