Mixed-type Plane Strain Finite Element Analysis of Beam Vibration

Free vibration of beam with moderate thickness is analyzed in the present study. Plane strain finite element is employed, which is based on 2-D elasticity. The conventional displacement-type variational principle is combined with Reissner¡¦s principle and a mixed-type variational formulation is derived. With such formulation, stresses, as well as displacements, are the primacy variables and both boundary conditions can be imposed exactly and simultaneously.
Beams with various aspect ratios and boundary conditions are analyzed. Vibration frequencies and modes are obtained and compared to those by Euler¡¦s beam theory, Timoshenko beam theory, higher-order theory and displacement-type plane strain finite element method to see the effects of 2-D elasticity beam analysis compared to traditional 1-D theories, and the satisfying of stress boundary conditions, in addition to the displacement ones.
