โฆ Synopsis
The purpose of this letter is to report the existence of a mode of linear vibration in Timoshenko's beam theory which has escaped attention in the literature. In particular, for various boundary conditions, a condition in terms of the material and geometric parameters of the beam for its existence is established. Our work is related to those of Traill-Nash and Collar [1] and Downs [2] on simply supported beams, and Mindlin and Deresiewicz [3] on infinite beams.
Recall the equations governing the motion of a Timoshenko beam,

The viability of adapting the Timoshenko beam equations to a sandwich configuration is considered. These equations are utilised for modal analysis of solid as well as sandwich beams, including beams with a mass attached at the mid-span. Theoretical and experimental results regarding beam frequencies
