Exact Longitudinal Vibration Characteristics of Rods with Variable Cross-Sections

Longitudinal natural vibration frequencies of rods (or bars) with variable cross-sections are obtained from the exact solutions of differential equation of motion based on transformation method. For the rods having cross-section variations as power of the sinusoidal functions of ax+b, the differenti...
