Free vibrations of beams & frames : Eigenvalues & Eigenfunctions

Vibration problems in beams and frames can lead to catastrophic structural collapse. This detailed monograph provides classical beam theory equations, calculation procedures, dynamic analysis of beams and frames, and analytical and numerical results. Classical beam theory equations. Dynamical analysis of beams and frames special functions. Beams with classical and elastic support.
