TL;DR: In this article, a study of the natural vibrations of a Timoshenko beam on a Pasternak-type foundation is presented, where the effects of rotary inertia, shear deformation, and foundation constants on the natural frequencies of the beam are analyzed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic stiffness matrix formulation for circular curved members of constant section, including the effects of rotary intertia, shear deformation and extension of the neutral axis, is presented for determining natural frequencies of continuous curved beams undergoing in-plane vibrations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a portal frame subjected to free and forced vibrations is used to illustrate the application of the proposed method and to show the rotary inertia and shear effects, including the effect of transverse-shear deformation.

TL;DR: In this article, an analytic technique for the determination of natural frequencies of continuous curved beams vibrating out of their initial plane of curvature is presented, and an example of a two-span circular curved beam is given to show the effect of the central angle of the arc upon the natural frequencies.

TL;DR: In this article, a three-span continuous beam on a Winkler-Pasternak foundation subjected to free and forced vibrations is used to illustrate the application of the proposed method and to show the effects of rotary inertia, transverse-shear deformation and foundation constants on the beam.
