Research on Vibration and Instability of the Double-Span Beam Base on Transfer Matrix

Abstract

The vibration and instability of a beam which is Double-span Euler Beam with axial force is studied by transfer matrix method. The transfer matrix of transverse free vibration and axial compression of the beam is derived. Then based on the assembled transferring matrix, the effect of the position of intermediate support on the natural frequencies and Euler critical axial force of the beam is discussed, which offered a useful method to start research of vibration of complicated framework.
