International audienceVibrations of non-uniform and functionally graded (FG) beams with various boundary conditions and varying cross-sections are investigated using the Euler–Bernoulli theory and Haar matrices. It is assumed that the cross-section and material properties vary along the beam in the axial direction. The system of the governing equations is transformed with the aid of a set of simplest wavelets. To validate the present results, the non-homogeneity of the beams is discussed in detail and the calculated frequencies are compared with those of the existing literature. The results show that the Haar wavelet approach is capable of calculating frequencies for the beams with different shapes, rigidity, mass density, small or large translational and rotational boundary coefficients. The advantage of the novel approach consists in its simplicity, accuracy and swiftness
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
