곡선보(curved beam)의 회전관성(rotatory inertia) 및 전단변형(shear deformation)을 고려한 면외(out-of-plane) 자유진동을 해석하는데 미분구적법(DQM)을 이용하여 고정-고정 경계조건(boundary conditions)과 다양한 굽힘각(opening angles)에 따른 진동수(frequencies)를 계산하였다. DQM의 결과는 엄밀해(efact solution) 또는 다른 수치해석 결과와 비교하였으며, DQM은 적은 요소(grid points)를 사용하여 정확한 해석결과를 보여주었다.
The differential quadrature method(DQM) is applied to computation of eigenvalues of the equations of motion governing the free out-of-plane vibration for circular curved beams including the effects of rotatory inertia and transverse shearing deformation. Fundamental frequencies are calculated for the members with clamped-clamped end conditions and various opening angles. The results are compared with exact solutions or numerical solutions by other methods for cases in which they are available. The DQM provides good accuracy even when only a limited number of grid points is used.
