TL;DR: In this paper, the free vibration of a truncated conical shell with variable thickness was analyzed by using the transfer matrix approach, and the effects of the semi-vertex angle, truncated length and varying thickness on the vibration were studied.

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis for the vibration and stability of a non-uniform Timoshenko beam subjected to a tangential follower force distributed over the center line by use of the transfer matrix approach is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the free vibration of ring-shaped polar-orthotropic sector plates is analyzed by the Ritz method using a spline function as an admissible function for the deflection of the plates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the free vibration of non-circular cylindrical shells with a variable circumferential profile expressed as an arbitrary function is analyzed and the effects of the length of the shell and the radius at the lobed corners on the vibration are studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, the steady state out-of-plane response of a Timoshenko curved beam with internal damping to a sinusoidally varying point force or moment is determined by use of the transfer matrix approach.
