An exact dynamic stiffness method is proposed for the free vibration analysis of multi-body
systems consisting of flexible beams and rigid bodies. The theory is sufficiently general in …

This monograph is devoted to construction of novel theoretical approaches of modeling non-
homogeneous structural members as well as to development of new and economically …

This paper investigates the forced response dynamics of a clamped–clamped beam to
which a rigid body is attached, and in the presence of periodic or non-periodic impacts …

Structures comprising mono-symmetric thin-walled beams (TBs) and rigid bodies (RBs) with
complex topologies are commonly used in various surgical applications, including …

Free vibration of structures composed of rigid bodies and elastic beam segments is
considered, assuming that the mass centers of rigid bodies are not located on the neutral …

Using two different, but related approaches, an exact dynamic stiffness matrix for a two-part
beam-mass system is developed from the free vibration theory of a Bernoulli-Euler beam …

The purpose of this article is to investigate the changes in the magnitude of natural
frequencies and their associated modal shapes of Timoshenko beam with respect to …

The natural frequencies and mode shapes of thin beams of constant cross section,
continuously variable cross section, and cross sections with step changes in properties for …

Conclusions Following a recent publication and subsequent detection of errors within it, the
free vibration behaviour of a two-part beam–mass system has been investigated. Numerical …

This paper presents an elastic-and-rigid-combined beam element such that the dynamic
characteristics of a hybrid beam and a two-dimensional frame composed of any number …
