For continuous vibrating systems, such as bars and beams, end‐mounted in the environment, knowledge about the mass, damping and stiffness properties of the resonating environment is important for analyzing free and forced vibrations of such structural members which are also damped themselves. To finally get an identification of the clamping parameters, examinations of both vibrating structural members for various restraint conditions and dynamic interaction with viscoelastic halfspaces, etc., are required. As a first step, longitudinal bar vibrations are studied in detail. The method of separation of variables combined with the reformatted orthogonality relation, and numerical integration is applied for calculating the free and forced oscillations.
