New experimental methods are proposed and applied to test bar vibrations under different boundary conditions. The longitudinal, torsional and transverse vibrations under different boundary conditions-free-free ends, fixed-free ends and mass-loaded ends are explored in the aluminum bar. It is observed that the natural frequencies of the free-free bar and the free-fixed bar in the longitudinal and torsional vibrations are harmonically related while it is not true for the mass-loaded bar. The natural frequencies of the transverse vibrations found by numerically solving the corresponding transcendental equations are not harmonically related. Some material properties of the bar are determined by the harmonic natures of these vibrations. Reasonable agreements between the measured and published results are obtained.
