A stepped beam model is developed to predict analytically the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a uniform flexible beam with surface bonded piezoelectric materials. The stepped portion includes the inertia and stiffness of the piezoelectric material and bonding layer, and the shear deformation

The method of modal analysis is a method widely used in structural analysis of linear systems. After a short introduction two step by step formulations for modal calculations are discussed. One of them is of more theoretical interest, the other is recommended for practical calculations for multi-deg
A novel approach in analysing the vibration of elastic body systems is presented and discussed in this paper. This method uses a meshless spatial approximation based only on nodes, which constitutes an advantage over the "nite element method. As it is applicable to an elastic body with arbitrary sha
