SHEAR AND ROTARY INERTIA EFFECTS ON BEAM VIBRATIONS,

Abstract

The effects of shear rigidity and rotary inertia on a vibrrating uniform free-free beam are analyzed in order to throw light on the vibration of a ship hull represented by a moderately nonuniform beam. A simple first-order approximation is devised for use in calculating several modes of vibration of a slender beam (small height-tolength-ratio) which includes these important effects. (Author)
