Nonlinear Vibrations of Cantilever Timoshenko Beams: A Homotopy Analysis

Abstract This study analyzes the fourth-order nonlinear free vibration of a Timoshenko beam. We discretize the governing differential equation by Galerkin's procedure and then apply the homotopy analysis method (HAM) to the obtained ordinary differential equation of the generalized coordinate....
