CHAPTER 14 TRANSVERSE VIBRATION OF EULER BEAM It was recognized by the early researchers that the bending effect is the single most important factor in a transversely vibrating beam. The Euler-Bernoulli model includes the strain energy due to the bending and the kinetic energy due to the lateral displacement. The Euler-Bernoulli model dates back to the 18th century. Jacob Bernoulli (1654-1705) first discovered that the curvature of an elastic beam at any point is proportional to the bending moment at that point. Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782), nephew of Jacob, was the first one who formulated the differential equation of motion of a vibrating beam. Later, Jacob Bernoullis theory was accepted by Leonhard Euler (1707}1783) in his investigation of the shape of elastic beams under various loading conditions. Many advances on the elastic curves were made by Euler. The Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, sometimes called the classical beam theory, Euler beam theory, Bernoulli beam theory, or Bernoulli-Euler beam theory, is the most commonly used because it is simple and provides reasonable engineering approximations for many problems. However, the Euler-Bernoulli model tends to slightly overestimate the natural frequencies. This problem is exacerbated for the natural frequencies of the higher modes. Mathematical formulation: w x dx Figure 1: A beam under transverse vibration Consider a long slender beam as shown in figure 1 subjected to transverse vibration. The free body diagram of an element of the beam is shown in the figure 2. Here, M (x , t) is the bending moment, V(x ,t) is the shear force, and f (x ,
