Extract

The normal functions of beam vibration may be used in series to solve statical problems of beam flexure and the recent appearance of tables of these functions has rendered this method practicable. An outline is given of the procedure.

The simple equation of free flexural vibration of beams is

where v is the displacement, EI the flexural rigidity andAp the mass per unit length. The separation of variables and the application of appropriate boundary conditions at the ends x = 0 and x = l, gives the following normal functions ϕ(x).
