摘要
An analytical approach based on the power series method is used to analyze the free vibration of a cantilever beam with geometric and inertia nonlinearities.The time variable is transformed into a“harmonically oscillating time”variable which transforms the governing equation into a form well-conditioned for a power series analysis.Rayleigh’s energy principle is also used to determine the vibration frequency.Convergence of the power series solution is demonstrated and excellent agreement is seen for the vibration response with a numerical solution.
