Vibration Analysis of a Stepped Beam by Using Adomian Decomposition Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The free vibrations of a stepped Euler-Bernoulli beam are investigated by using the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). The stepped beam consists two uniform sections and each section is considered a substructure which can be modeled using ADM. By using boundary condition and continuity condition equations, the dimensionless natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes can be easily obtained simultaneously. The computed results for different boundary conditions are presented. Comparing the results using ADM to those given in the literature, excellent agreement is achieved.
