Abstract
New closed-form solutions for the natural frequency of a clamped-guided beam are derived in this investigation. By postulating the mode shape of the clamped-guided beam, whose material density and stiffness are taken as polynomial functions, one is able to calculate the closed-form solution for its natural frequency. A remarkable property of the suggested method is its extreme simplicity. © 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
