Effect of Tapering on Natural Frequencies of Rotating Beams

The problem of free vibration of a rotating tapered beam is investigated by developing explicit expressions for the mass, elastic and centrifugal stiffness matrices in terms of the taper ratios. This investigation takes into account the effect of tapering in two planes, the effect of hub radius as w...
