Abstract
The eigenfunctions of a continuous beam are found numerically. The folded plate type of finite strip with intermediate supports is formulated by combining such an eigenfunction in the longitudinal direction with an appropriate finite element shape function in the transverse direction. The numerical examples given in this paper, such as the continuous beam and plate, demonstrate the advantages of this method: simplicity, accuracy, and convenience. Key words: finite strip, continuous structure, eigenfunction, folded plate, plate bending.Keywords
