Abstract: An exact Fourier series method is developed for the vibration analysis of multispan beam systems. In this method, the displacement on each beam is expressed as a Fourier series expansion plus ...

Abstract: Vibrations of and power flow between coupled beams have been the subject of many investigations, and various techniques have been developed over the years. However, most of the existing methods ...

Abstract: In comparison with the transverse vibrations of rectangular plates, far less attention has been paid to the in-plane vibrations even though they may play an equally important role in affecting ...
