A free flexural vibrations of a spinning, finite Timoshenko beam for the six classical boundary conditions are analytically solved and presented for the first time. Expressions for computing natural frequencies and mode shapes are given. Numerical simulation studies show that the simply-supported beam possesses very peculiar free vibration characteristics: There exist two sets of natural frequencies corresponding to each mode shape, and the forward and backward precession mode shapes of each set coincide identically. These phenomena are not observed in beams with the other five types of boundary conditions. In these cases, the forward and backward precessions are different, implying that each natural frequency corresponds to a single mode shape.

Vibration analysis of externally damped spinning Timoshenko beams with general boundary conditions is performed analytically. Exact solutions for natural frequencies and normal modes for the six classical boundary conditions are derived for the first time. In the numerical simulations, the trend between the complex frequencies and the damping coefficient is investigated, and complex mode shapes are presented in three-dimensional space.

A frequency-domain technique to extract the normal mode shapes from the contaminated FRF measurements for highly coupled structures is developed. The relation between the complex FRFs and the normal mode shapes is derived. It is found that the normal mode shape cannot be extracted exactly from the complex mode shape. However, an exact relation between the normal mode shape and the complex FRF does exist. In the present method, only the magnitude and phase data at the undamped natural frequencies are utilized to extract the normal mode shapes. Hence, the effects of measurement noise can be reduced. A numerical example is employed to illustrate the applicability of the technique. The results indicate that this technique can successfully extract the normal modes from the noisy frequency response functions of a highly coupled structure.

This paper deals with analyzing free vibrations of the symmetric arch. The boundary conditions of the stress resultants are newly derived, which can be replaced by the conventional boundary conditions of the deflections. All solutions of the natural frequency with the mode shape, using the new boundary conditions, are the same as those of the conventional deflections. The boundary conditions mixed with new and conventional conditions act correctly to calculate natural frequencies. The mode shapes of the stress resultants using the new boundary conditions are reported in two types: symmetric and anti-symmetric modes.

There are well-known expressions for natural frequencies and mode shapes of a Euler-Bernoulli beam which has classical boundary conditions, such as free, fixed, and pinned. There are also expressions for particular boundary conditions, such as attached springs and masses. Surprisingly, however, there is not a method to calculate the natural frequencies and mode shapes for a Euler–Bernoulli beam which has any combination of linear boundary conditions. This paper describes a new method to achieve this, by writing the boundary conditions in terms of dynamic stiffness of attached elements. The method is valid for any boundaries provided they are linear, including dissipative boundaries. Ways to overcome numerical issues that can occur when computing higher natural frequencies and mode shapes are also discussed. Some examples are given to illustrate the applicability of the proposed method.

In this present study, the “Free Bending Vibrations of a Centrally Bonded Symmetric Double Lap Joint (or Symmetric Double Doubler Joint) with a Gap in Mindlin Plates or Panels” are theoretically analyzed and are numerically solved in some detail. The “plate adherends” and the upper and lower “doubler plates” of the “Bonded Joint” system are considered as dissimilar, orthotropic “Mindlin Plates” joined through the dissimilar upper and lower very thin adhesive layers. There is a symmetrically and centrally located “Gap” between the “plate adherends” of the joint system. In the “adherends” and the “doublers” of the “Bonded Joint” assembly, the transverse shear deformations and the transverse and rotary moments of inertia are included in the analysis. The relatively very thin adhesive layers are assumed to be linearly elastic continua with transverse normal and shear stresses. The “damping effects” in the entire “Bonded Joint” system are neglected. The sets of the dynamic “Mindlin Plate” equations of the “plate adherends”, the “double doubler plates” and the thin adhesive layers are combined together with the orthotropic stress resultant-displacement expressions in a “special form”. This system of equations, after some further manipulations, is eventually reduced to a set of the “Governing System of the First Order Ordinary Differential Equations” in terms of the “state vectors” of the problem. Hence, the final set of the aforementioned “Governing Systems of Equations” together with the “Continuity Conditions” and the “Boundary conditions” facilitate the present solution procedure. This is the “Modified Transfer Matrix Method (MTMM) (with Interpolation Polynomials). The present theoretical formulation and the method of solution are applied to a typical “Bonded Symmetric Double Lap Joint (or Symmetric Double Doubler Joint) with a Gap”. The effects of the relatively stiff (or “hard”) and the relatively flexible (or “soft”) adhesive properties, on the natural frequencies and mode shapes are considered in detail. The very interesting mode shapes with their dimensionless natural frequencies are presented for various sets of boundary conditions. Also, several parametric studies of the dimensionless natural frequencies of the entire system are graphically presented. From the numerical results obtained, some important conclusions are drawn for the “Bonded Joint System” studied here.

This paper is concerned with the virtual mass effect on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of rectangular plates due to the presence of the water on one side of the plate. The approximate formula, which mainly depends on the so-called nondimensionalized added virtual mass incremental factor, can be used to estimate natural frequencies in water from natural frequencies in vacuo. However, the approximate formula is valid only when the wet mode shapes are almost the same as the one in vacuo. Moreover, the nondimensionalized added virtual mass incremental factor is in general a function of geometry, material properties of the plate and mostly boundary conditions of the plate and water domain. In this paper, the added virtual mass incremental factors for rectangular plates are obtained using the Rayleigh-Ritz method combined with the Green function method. Two cases of interfacing boundary conditions, which are free-surface and rigid-wall conditions, and two cases of plate boundary conditions, simply supported and clamped cases, are considered in this paper. It is found that the theoretical results match the experimental results. To investigate the validity of the approximate formula, the exact natural frequencies and mode shapes in water are calculated by means of the virtual added mass matrix. It is found that the approximate formula predicts lower natural frequencies in water with a very good accuracy.

This study analyzed a Timoshenko beam with Koch snowflake cross-section in different boundary conditions and for variable properties. The equation of motion was solved by the finite element method and verified by Solidworks simulation in a way that the maximum error was about 2.9% for natural frequencies. Displacement and natural frequency for each case presented and compared to other cases. Significant research achievements illustrate that if we change the Koch snowflake cross-section of the beam from the first iteration to the second, the area and moment of inertia will increase, and we have a 5.2% rise in the first natural frequency. Similarly, by changing the cross-section from the second iteration to the third, a 10.2% growth is observed. Also, the hollow cross-section is considered, which can enlarge the natural frequency by about 26.37% compared to a solid one. Moreover, all the clamped-clamped, hinged-hinged, clamped-free, and free-free boundary conditions have the highest natural frequency for the Timoshenko beam with the third iteration of the Koch snowflake cross-section in solid mode. Finally, examining important physical parameters demonstrates that variable density from a minimum value to the standard value along the beam increases the natural frequencies, while variable elastic modulus decreases it.

Free vibration of FGM Timoshenko beam is investigated on the base of the power law distribution of FGM. Taking into account the actual position of neutral plane enables to obtain general condition for uncoupling of axial and flexural vibrations in FGM beam. This condition defines a class of functionally graded beams for which axial and flexural vibrations are completely uncoupled likely to the homogeneous beams. Natural frequencies and mode shapes of uncoupled flexural vibration of beams from the class are examined in dependence on material parameters and slendernes
