A Spectral Finite Element Model for Vibration Analysis of a Beam Based on General Higher-Order Theory

The spectral element matrix is derived for a straight and uniform beam element having an arbitrary cross-section. The general higher-order beam theory is used, which accurately accounts for the transverse shear deformation out of the cross-sectional plane and antielastic-type deformation within the...
