Abstract
Forced motion of a rectangular beam whose thickness, density and elast ic properties along the length vary in any number of steps is analyzed by the eigenfunction method using shear theory. A beam of two steps, clamped at both the edges and subjected to constant or half-sine pulse load is considered as an example problem. Numerical results computed for transverse defection are compared with those of classical theory. (C) 1997 Academic Press Limited.
