This note deals with the free transverse vibration of a beam with two arbitrarily located internal hinges, four intermediate elastic restraints, and ends elastically restrained against rotation and translation. The method ...

This paper deals with the free transverse vibration of anisotropic plates with several arbitrarily located internal line hinges and piecewise smooth boundaries, elastically restrained against rotation and translation. The ...

A Ritz variational approach for the analysis of free vibration of plates with internal hinges distributed along a straight line is presented. The plate is modeled with the first order shear deformation theory and symmetric ...

The study of the dynamic properties of beam structures is extremely important for proper structural design. This present paper deals with the free in-plane vibrations of a system of two orthogonal beam members with an ...

The objective of this paper is to propose a general algorithm to obtain approximate analytical solutions for the study of the free vibrations of a rectangular anisotropic thin plate with an internal curved line hinge and ...

This paper deals with a general variational formulation for the determination of natural frequencies and mode shapes of free vibrations of laminated thin plates of trapezoidal shape with an internal line hinge restrained ...

This paper deals with the study of free transverse vibrations of rectangular plates with an internal line hinge and elastically restrained boundaries. The equations of motion and its associated boundary and transition ...
