Abstract In this paper, theoretical solutions of free transverse vibration for tapering pipe considering variable cross section have been investigated using Bessel function in low frequency domain. Natural frequency was calculated by transfer matrix method (TMM) based on an accurate theoretical model. The effectiveness and validity of TMM with Bessel function was confirmed in comparison with TMM of discrete uniform pipe and Finite Element Method. Furthermore, dimensionless model was proposed to avoid the singularity, instability and overflow in calculation. The geometry effect, such as tapering ratio, thickness-radius and length-radius ratio influence on the nature frequency was explored. The present study was envisaged to provide useful insights for dynamic analysis of pipeline systems.

A transfer matrix method is used to study free vibration characteristics of an axial-loaded Euler–Bernoulli beam with variable cross sections and multiple concentrated elements in the article. The differential equation for bending vibrations of the beam element is solved by the Frobenius method, and the solution is in power series form. Then, the transfer matrix method is applied to establish the state vector equation for both ends of the beam. Combined with boundary conditions, the frequency equation is obtained and expressed in a two-order determinant. The numerical results in this article are compared with those of the finite element method, which illustrates the accuracy of the method we proposed. The influence of the size of each concentrated elements and axial force on the natural frequency coefficients and the influence of the concentrated elements on the first critical buckling load are discussed.

Free vibration equations for non-cylindrical (conical, barrel, and hyperboloidal types) helical springs with noncircular cross-sections, which consist of 14 first-order ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients, are theoretically derived using spatially curved beam theory. In the formulation, the warping effect upon natural frequencies and vibrating mode shapes is first studied in addition to including the rotary inertia, the shear and axial deformation influences. The natural frequencies of the springs are determined by the use of improved Riccati transfer matrix method. The element transfer matrix used in the solution is calculated using the Scaling and Squaring method and Pad'e approximations. Three examples are presented for three types of springs with different cross-sectional shapes under clamped-clamped boundary condition. The accuracy of the proposed method has been compared with the FEM results using three-dimensional solid elements (Solid 45) in ANSYS code. Numerical results reveal that the warping effect is more pronounced in the case of non-cylindrical helical springs than that of cylindrical helical springs, which should be taken into consideration in the free vibration analysis of such springs.
