β¦ Synopsis
Abrate [1] has recently produced a neat extension of the transformation trick which yielded a non-uniform rod with uniform rod vibration spectrum for fixed ends, to a case of a non-uniform clamped beam with uniform beam spectrum. The latter, with quartic dependence on spatial co-ordinate for both its moment of inertia and cross-sectional area, is in fact one of several classes of non-uniform beams with the same spectrum as (i.e. isospectral with) a uniform beam which were discovered in reference [2].
For flexural rigidity f(x) and lineal mass density m(x), the result called class (5) in reference [2] may be re-written as

We show that for some non-uniform rods and beams the equation of motion can be transformed into the equation of motion for a uniform rod or beam. Then, when the ends are completely fixed, the eigenvalues of the non-uniform continuum are the same as those of uniform rods or beams. For other end suppo
The free vibration of an elastically restrained symmetric non-uniform Timoshenko beam resting on a non-uniform elastic foundation and subjected to an axial load is studied. The two coupled governing characteristic differential equations are reduced into two separate fourth order ordinary differentia
The dynamic behavior of multi-span non-uniform beams transversed by a moving load at a constant and variable velocity is investigated. The continuous beam is modelled using Bernoulli}Euler beam theory. The solution is obtained by using both the modal analysis method and the direct integration method
