Summary

The natural frequencies of vibration of a cantilever beam allowing for rotary inertia and shear deformation are obtained by the approximate Ritz method.

The workability of the method is dependent upon the approximating functions chosen for the dynamic displacement curves. A series of characteristic functions representing the normal modes of vibration of cantilever beams in simple flexure is used as the approximating functions for both deflections due to flexure and shear deformation. Good agreement is shown between frequencies obtained by the Ritz method and those resulting from an analytical solution.

The effect upon the natural frequencies of allowing for rotary inertia alone is shown and it is seen to increase rapidly with mode number.
