โฆ Synopsis
The free vibration of beams and plates over supports at regular intervals has been analysed using the knowledge of natural flexural waves and the associated propagation constants. It has been shown that the conditions at the extreme ends of a finite, periodic structure, permit only certain discrete values of the propagation constant. These, in turn, dictate the distribution of natural frequencies in the frequency spectrum. The whole analysis, when compared to the conventional methods, simplifies the problem of determination of natural frequencies of such structures. In addition, it gives a better physical understanding of the phenomenon involved, and a simple graphical method of determination of natural frequencies of periodically-supported beams and plates.

A simple model of a four plate structure is assumed and joint continuity conditions enable solution of the differential equations in terms of a single transcendental equation, involving non-dimensional parameters, for each of the four symmetry cases. The bounds within which solutions must fall are
A general method has been developed and applied to study the effect of different amounts of disorders on free flexural wave motion in undamped beam-type systems consisting of finite multi-span repeating units that are disordered identically due to (i) unequal support spacings and (ii) the presence o
The relationship between the free wave motion and the natural flexural modes of beams is re-examined. The reflection of both propagating and evanescent waves, incident upon a linearly constrained boundary, is first analyzed. Boundary conditions are identified which cause no evanescent wave to be ref
