A STUDY OF THE APPROXIMATE THEORY OF AN ELASTIC THICK BEAM

Abstract
The flexural vibration of a thick beam is analyzed two-dimensionally by using the general equation of flexural motion. The characteristic equations and the frequencies of thick beams for the various end conditions are obtained and comparisons are made between the frequencies obtained from the present calculations and those from the elementary theory of a thin beam.
