Abstract

In this chapter, natural frequencies of an Euler-Bernoulli prismatic beam on different supports are analyzed. The variational iteration method (VIM) is employed to compute the said natural frequencies especially for the higher modes of vibration. Some numerical examples are presented with the view to demonstrating excellent agreement between the results obtained using VIM and other methods.
