N2 - The wave equation governing longitudinal vibration of a bar and torsional vibration of a circular shaft, and the Euler-Bernoulli equation governing transverse vibration of a beam were developed in the eighteenth century. Natural frequencies and mode shapes are easily obtained for uniform or constant spatial parameters (cross sectional area, material property and mass distribution). But, real engineering structures seldom have constant parameters. For non-uniform continuous structure, a large number of papers have been written for more than 100 years since the publication of Kirchhoff’s memoir in 1882. There are analytical solutions only in few cases, and there are approximate numerical methods to deal with other (almost all) cases, most notably Stodola, Holzer and Myklestad methods in addition to Rayleigh-Ritz and finite element methods. This paper presents a novel approach to compute natural frequencies and mode shapes for arbitrary variations of spatial parameters on the basis of linear time-varying system theory. The advantage of this approach is that now it can be claimed that “almost” closed-form solutions are available to find natural frequencies and mode shapes of any non-uniform, linear and one-dimensional continuous structure.
