The mechanical model of a washing machine as an elastic multibody system is presented in this paper. According to the complexity of the machine parts the results of a finite element mode shape analysis are used to describe the elastic behavior. A procedure is presented to expand the Ritz seperation method for incorporating additional terms in the equations of motion resulting from shell or beam elements as well as from attached masses.
