The dynamic stiffness matrix of a uniform isotropic beam element based on trigonometric shear deformation theory is developed in this paper. The theoretical expressions for the dynamic stiffness matrix elements are found directly, in an exact sense, by solving the governing differential equations of motion that describe the deformations of the beam element according to the trigonometric shear deformation theory, which include the sinusoidal variation of the axial displacement over the cross section of the beam. The application of the dynamic stiffness matrix to calculate the natural frequencies and normal mode shapes of two rectangular beams is discussed. The numerical results obtained are compared to the available solutions wherever possible and validate the accuracy and efficiency of the present approach.

An improved simple hyperbolic shear deformation theory involving only four unknown functions, as against five functions in case of first or other higher-order shear deformation theories, is introduced for the analysis of functionally graded plates resting on a Winkler–Pasternak elastic foundation. The governing equations are derived by employing the principle of virtual work and the physical neutral surface concept. The accuracy of the present analysis is demonstrated by comparing some of the present results with those of the classical, the first-order and the other higher-order theories.
