On Non-linear Free Vibrations of a Beam with Pinned Ends

The free vibration of a pinned end beam undergoing large transverse deflection is examined. The equation of motion for this problem is reduced to a Duffing-type equation with a small perturbation parameter. The method of multiple scales is used to determine a uniformly valid higher third order pertu...
