An exact closed-form solution for vibration analysis of beams based on third-order shear deformation theory

In this paper, an exact analytical solution is presented to study the vibration of isotropic single-span and multi-span beams based on Levinson’s third-order shear deformation theory. The displacement field of the beam, which accounts for the variation of shear stress along the beam thickness, is defined. Based on Hami...
