stiffen<strong>in</strong>g effect (stiffen<strong>in</strong>g elements) and the oscillation<br />
is perpendicular to the surface. <strong>The</strong> stiffen<strong>in</strong>g causes an<br />
<strong>in</strong>crease <strong>of</strong> the frequency.<br />
A sufficient accurate calculation <strong>of</strong> the relevant<br />
frequency can only be done when the additional mass <strong>of</strong><br />
the connect<strong>in</strong>g pieces is taken <strong>in</strong>to account as well as<br />
their stiffen<strong>in</strong>g <strong>effects</strong> which is po<strong>in</strong>ted out by tests [Ref<br />
27, Ref 28]. <strong>The</strong>refore equation (2.35) is multiplied by a<br />
factor c; the ma<strong>in</strong> conductor frequency fc with<br />
connect<strong>in</strong>g pieces is calculated from the frequency f0 <strong>of</strong><br />
a sub-conductor without connect<strong>in</strong>g pieces<br />

At first it is looked at the <strong>in</strong>fluence <strong>of</strong> the mass. Due to<br />
the connect<strong>in</strong>g pieces the sub-conductors oscillate with<br />
the same basic frequency as monophase. <strong>The</strong> eigenangular<br />
frequency <strong>of</strong> a spr<strong>in</strong>g-mass-system can be<br />
