This paper analyzes the free vibration frequencies of a beam on a Winkler–Pasternak foundation via the original Timoshenko–Ehrenfest theory, a truncated version of the Timoshenko–Ehrenfest equation, and a new model based on slope inertia. We give a detailed comparison between the three models in the context of six different sets of boundary conditions. In particular, we analyze the most common combinations of boundary conditions deriving from three typical end constraints, namely the simply supported end, clamped end, and free end. An interesting intermingling phenomenon is presented for a simply-supported (S-S) beam together with proof of the ‘non-existence’ of zero frequencies for free-free (F-F) and simply supported-free (S-F) beams on a Winkler–Pasternak foundation.

A sixteen node cylindrical super element is presented for evaluating the free vibration characteristics of a rotating laminated cylinder with conventional boundary conditions. It is shown that the natural frequencies are affected considerably when the centrifugal force is also taken into account. The vibration frequencies of rotating finite cylinder, obtained by conventional finite element are used to evaluate the accuracy of this approach. The special case of a stationary cylinder with zero spinning velocity is also considered as a check on this method. Results indicate only few number of cylindrical super elements are capable of predicting the natural frequency of the rotating cylinder within the same limit as many elements used in the conventional finite element method.

The vibration and instability of a beam which is Double-span Euler Beam with axial force is studied by transfer matrix method. The transfer matrix of transverse free vibration and axial compression of the beam is derived. Then based on the assembled transferring matrix, the effect of the position of intermediate support on the natural frequencies and Euler critical axial force of the beam is discussed, which offered a useful method to start research of vibration of complicated framework.

A three-dimensional (3D) method of analysis is presented for determining the free vibration frequencies of a hermetic capsule comprising a cylinder closed with hemi-ellipsoidal caps at both ends. Unlike conventional shell theories, which are mathematically 2D, the present method is based upon the 3D dynamic equations of elasticity. Displacement components [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] in the radial, circumferential, and axial directions, respectively, are taken to be periodic in [Formula: see text] and in time, and the Legendre polynomials in the r and z directions instead of ordinary ones. Potential (strain) and kinetic energies of the hermetic capsule are formulated, and the Ritz method is used to solve the eigenvalue problem, thereby yielding upper bound values of the frequencies. As the degree of the Legendre polynomials is increased, frequencies converge to the exact values. Typical convergence studies are carried out for the first five frequencies. The frequencies from the present 3D method are in good agreement with those obtained from other 3D approach and 2D shell theories proposed by previous researchers.

This technical note is concerned with the free vibration problem of a cantilever beam with constant thickness and exponentially decaying width. Existing analytical results for such a vibration beam problem are found to be incomplete because lower frequencies could not be obtained. Presented herein is the exact characteristic equation for generating the complete vibration frequencies for the considered vibrating beam problem. Also the note treated for the first time such a tapered cantilever beam with a tip mass. The exact solutions (frequencies and mode shapes) are important to engineers designing such tapered beams and the results serve as benchmarks for assessing the validity, convergence and accuracy of numerical methods and solutions.
