Abstract: To obtain the static shape of the continuous steel plate and vibration characteristic, we performed the analysis of the multi-body dynamics in which the continuous steel plate was discretized in many solid bodies. The shape of the steel plate obtained by the measurement experiment was agreement with the static shape of the steel plate obtained by the analysis. Then, dynamical analysis was performed when white noise input to the steel plate. It was confirmed that the vibration could be suppressed when the electromagnets were installed in consideration of the static shape of the steel plate.
