Abstract
In free-mass gravitational wave detectors, pendulum suspension is one of the most important parts. In this report, the mechanical transfer functions are calculated for the pendulum comprised of a wire of uniform density and a point mass attached to the end of the wire, and their characteristics are discussed in terms of the normal-mode expansion method.Keywords
