Abstract:This paper aims to present the exact closed-form solutions for the free vibration of double-beam systems composed of two parallel beams connected by an arbitrary number of discrete elastic supports. The general solutions of the mode shapes of the double-beam system are derived employing the Laplace transform method from a perspective of the entire domain of beams without enforcement of any segmentation. A unified strategy applied to various boundary conditions is proposed to determine the independent constants… Show more
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.
