β¦ Synopsis
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 support conditions, exact solutions are obtained. An efficient procedure is used to analyze the free vibration of non-uniform beams with general shape and arbitrary boundary conditions. Simple formulas are presented for predicting the fundamental natural frequency of non-uniform beams with various end support conditions.

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 it
The objective of this paper is to present exact analytical solutions for the longitudinal vibration of rods with non-uniform cross-section. Using appropriate transformations, the equation of motion of axial vibration of a rod with varying cross-section is reduced to analytically solvable standard di
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
