Response of forced Euler-Bernoulli beams using differential transform method
Seval Catal
Abstract
In this paper, forced vibration differential equations of motion of Euler-Bernoulli beams with different boundary conditions and dynamic loads are solved using differential transform method (DTM), analytical solutions. Then, the modal deflections of these beams are obtained. The calculated modal deflections using DTM are represented in tables and depicted in graphs and compared with the results of the analytical solutions where a very good agreement is observed.
