ZEROTH-ORDER CORRECTIONS TO THE EULER-BERNOULLI BEAM MODEL

摘要

This paper compares the frequency-amplitude relationship for nonlinear oscillations of a geometrically nonlinear model of a slender beam in the absence of damping with the corresponding predictions from the Mettler model for the transverse motion. In particular, the analysis shows that the Mettler model fails to account for a constant, amplitude-independent shift in the nonlinear frequency relative to the linear frequency caused by rotary inertia terms.
