Free vibration and buckling behavior of tapered beam by finite element method

Abstract EN

This paper deals with free vibration and buckling behavior of non-uniform Euler-Bernoulli beam under variation of tapered parameter and degree of flexural bending by using Finite Element Method and linked with Matlab Program.

The results obtained were compared with those results given in the literatures and it is found that the natural frequency and buckling load decrease with increasing the tapered parameter and degree of flexural stiffness of tapered beams.
