TRANSVERSE VIBRATIONS OF A LINEARLY TAPERED CANTILEVER BEAM WITH TIP MASS OF ROTARY INERTIA AND ECCENTRICITY

Abstract An exact analysis of free vibrations of cantilever tapered beams with a mass at the tip and flexible constraint is presented. The rotary inertia of the concentrated mass is considered, with its eccentricity. The non-dimensional frequency coefficients are given in tabular form at the end of the paper. Some comparisons with other results from the literature are presented.
