Vibration Frequencies of Truncated-Cone and Wedge Beams

Abstract

In the first part of a recent paper,2 numerical results were presented for the first five transverse vibrational resonant frequencies of truncated-cone cantilever beams for a number of different geometrics. These results are now extended to include the nine possible combinations of the simply supported, clamped, and free end conditions. The corresponding numerical results for the vibrating truncated wedge are also presented. The foregoing data augment the numerical results for the first five frequencies of uniform cross-section beams given in the recent handbook by Harris and Crede.4
