This study examines a simple estimation method for the measurement of the mass of an on-site log through a vibration test. In this method, rather than the log itself, a cut end portion is weighed. For this purpose, the vibration method with additional mass (VAM) was applied to Sitka spruce ( Picea sitchensis Carr.) circular truncated cones (model log) and Japanese cedar ( Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) logs. Longitudinal vibration tests were performed on the circular truncated cones with/without an additional mass. Furthermore, the cut end portions of the circular truncated cones and logs were used as the virtual additional mass in the VAM. From the results of the vibration test using specimens with/without the concentrated mass, it is possible to estimate the mass of a circular truncated cone with 10% error by the VAM. The cut end portion of a circular truncated cone could be used as the virtual mass in the VAM. From the experimental and theoretical results, to maintain high estimation accuracy, the specimen length must not be too short as shown in our previous study for a specimen with constant cross-sectional shape. The cut end portion of the logs could be used for the virtual mass of the VAM.
