Free Vibrations of Cantilever Arches with Constant Volume

일정체적 캔틸레버 아치의 자유진동

This paper deals with the free vibrations of cantilever arches with constant volume. Its cross-sectional shape is the regular polygon whose depth is varied with the linear functional fashion. The non-dimensional differential equations governing the free vibration of such arch are derived and solved numerically for calculating the natural frequencies. As the numerical results, the effects of arch parameters such as side number of cross section, section ratio and aspect ratio on the natural frequencies are reported in figures.
