The structural elements supporting motors or engines are frequently seen in technological applications. The operation of machine may introduce additional dynamic stresses on the beam. It is important, then, to know the natural frequencies of the coupled beam-mass system, in order to obtain a proper design of the structural elements. The literature regarding the free vibration analysis of Bernoulli-Euler and Timoshenko single-span beams carrying a number of spring-mass system and multi-span beams carrying multiple spring-mass systems are plenty, but the free vibration analysis of Reddy-Bickford multi-span beams carrying multiple spring-mass systems has not been investigated by any of the studies in open literature so far. This paper aims at determining the exact solutions for the natural frequencies and mode shapes of Reddy-Bickford beams. The model allows analyzing the influence of the shear effect and spring-mass systems on the dynamic behavior of the beams by using Reddy-Bickford Beam Theory (RBT). The effects of attached spring-mass systems on the free vibration characteristics of the 1–4 span beams are studied. The natural frequencies of Reddy-Bickford single-span and multi-span beams calculated by using the numerical assembly technique and the secant method are compared with the natural frequencies of single-span and multi-span beams calculated by using Timoshenko Beam Theory (TBT); the mode shapes are presented in graphs.

In this study, a mixed-finite element method for free vibration analysis of cross-ply laminated composite beams is presented based on the "Euler–Bernoulli Beam Theory" and "Timoshenko Beam Theory". The Gâteaux differential approach is employed to construct the functionals of laminated beams using the variational method. By using these functionals in the mixed-type finite element method, two beam elements CLBT4 and FSDT8 are derived for the Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories, respectively. The CLBT4 element has four degrees of freedom (DOFs), containing the vertical displacement and bending moment as unknowns at the nodes, whereas the FSDT8 element has eight DOFs, containing the vertical displacement, bending moment, shear force and rotation as unknowns. A computer program is developed to execute the analyses for the present study. The numerical results of free vibration analyses obtained for different boundary conditions are presented and compared with results available in the literature, which indicates the reliability of the present approach.

This paper presents an analytical method adopted for the free vibration analysis of a shaft, both ends of which are supported by resilient bearings. The shaft is modeled by Timoshenko beam theory. Based on this model exact frequency equation to calculate complex eigenvalues is derived and presented in complex compact form for the first time. Explicit expressions to compute the corresponding mode shapes are also presented.

Abstract Thin and thick plates, plates with holes, stiffened panels and stiffened panels with holes are primary structural members in almost all fields of engineering: civil, mechanical, aerospace, naval, ocean etc. In this paper, a simple and efficient procedure for the free vibration analysis of such elements is presented. It is based on the assumed mode method and can handle different plate thickness, various shapes and sizes of holes, different framing sizes and types as well as different combinations of boundary conditions. Natural frequencies and modes are determined by solving an eigenvalue problem of a multi-degree-of-freedom system matrix equation derived by using Lagrange’s equations. Mindlin theory is applied for a plate and Timoshenko beam theory for stiffeners. The applicability of the method in the design procedure is illustrated with several numerical examples obtained by the in-house developed code VAPS. Very good agreement with standard commercial finite element software is achieved.

In this paper free vibration analysis of cracked composite beams subjected to coupled bending-torsion loads are presented. The composite beam is assumed to have an open edge crack. A first order theory is applied to count for the effect of the shear deformations on natural frequencies as well as the effect of coupling in torsion and bending modes of vibration. Local flexibility matrix is used to obtain the additional boundary conditions of the beam in the crack area. After obtaining the governing equations and boundary conditions, GDQ method is applied to solve the obtained eigenvalue problem. Finally, some numerical results are given to show the efficacy of the method. In addition, to count for the effect of coupling on natural frequencies of the cracked beams, different fiber orientations are assumed and studied.
