✦ Synopsis

Exact finite elements form the basis of a new and convenient procedure for converging with certainty upon the required natural frequencies of any plane structure composed of slender elastic curved members of constant radius. Solution of the inherent transcendental eigenvalue problem is achieved through a variation on the powerful Wittrick-Williams algorithm. Two illustrative examples are included.
