Free vibration analysis of tapered composite beams using hierarchical finite element method

Compared with the conventional finite element method, hierarchical finite element method has the advantages of using fewer elements and obtaining better accuracy in the calculation of natural frequencies, buckling loads, displacements and stresses. These advantages are also shown in the analysis for...
