1 Introduction

The free vibration equation of an axially loaded beam on elas-tic foundation is a fourth-order partial differential equationFor this particular engineering problem the analytical solu-tions will be implemented in this study Although the gov-erning equation seems to be a linear one finding the eigen-values for the free vibration analysis is still challenging Onemay not simply obtain the eigenvalues sequentially and theircorresponding eigen vectors even with a software

Free vibration equation of the beam on partially elasticfoundation including only bending moment effect was ana-lytically solved [1] while the eigenvalues for free vibration ofbeam-column systems on elastic foundation were obtainedusing a numerical approach [2] The separation of variablestechnique was used to obtain the free vibration circular fre-quencies of piles partially embedded in soils [3] In additiondifferential transform method (DTM) has been proposed tosolve eigenvalue problems for free and transverse vibrationproblems of a rotating twisted Timoshenko beam under axialloading [4 5] Furthermore the DTM was also used to findthe nondimensional natural frequencies of tapered cantilever

Bernoulli-Euler beam [6] Free vibration equations for oneend clamped and other end simply supported beam on elasticfoundation were solved by using the DTM for various axialloads acting on the beam [7]

Meanwhile both the variational iteration method (VIM)and homotopy perturbation method (HPM) were used tosolve the free vibration equations of beam on elastic founda-tion for support conditions of one end clamped and otherend simply supported both ends clamped and both endssimply supported considering various case studies [8ndash11]Thebeam on elastic foundation was investigated for these threedifferent support conditions considering various119873

Inserting the boundary conditions given in (12)-(13) into(11) for SS CC andCSbeams a nonlinear systemof equationsin the following form would be produced

[119870 (120574)] 119862 = 0 (14)

where 119862119879 = 1198621119862211986231198624 and includes the coefficients

of (11) Coefficient matrix [119870(120574)] is dependent on frequencyfactor 120574 and equating the determinant to zero gives thefrequency factors for vibration modes of the correspondingbeam

det [119870 (120574)] = 0 (15)

Positive real roots of this equation are free vibrationfrequencies of the beams on elastic foundations shown inFigure 2

4 Numerical Study

Analytical solution for free vibration of a one end clampedand one end pinned beam on elastic foundation was previ-ously given by Catal [7] with additional analyses by DTMHowever Catal [7] gives analytical solutions for only CSbeam and in this study it is observed that these results fail tocoincide with the exact results

Previously both the variational iteration method (VIM)and homotopy perturbation method (HPM) were used tosolve the free vibration equations of beam on elastic foun-dation for support conditions of one end clamped and otherend simply supported both ends clamped and both ends sim-ply supported considering various case studies [8ndash10] In thisstudy analytical solutions for three cases are provided whichare shown in Figure 2 Each case was previously analyzed bythe use of both VIM and HPMwith the previously explainedprocedure [8ndash10] Numerical values in this study are chosenas the same used in Catal [7] Hence an IPB 500 steel profileresting on a Winkler foundation having a modulus of sub-grade reaction of 50000 kNm2 is considered Other numeri-cal values are as follows

The graphical presentations of analytical solutions areprovided in Figures 3 4 and 5

5 Conclusion

In this study the analytical results for free vibration analysisof beam on elastic foundation are provided for three differentaxially loaded cases which are namely one end clamped theother end simply supported (CS beam) both ends clamped(CC beam) and both ends simply supported (SS beam) casesIn addition the analytical solution and the frequency factorsevaluated for different ratios of axial load 119873 acting on thebeam to Euler buckling load119873

119903are obtained In Figures 3 4

and 5 it is observed that for the same values of 120582 the largestvalues of 120574 are obtained for both ends clamped (CC) beamwhile the lowest values of 120574 are obtained for both ends pinned(SS) beam

For the CS Beam it is observed that analytical solutionsgiven by Catal [7] fail to coincide with the exact results pro-vided in this study Previous studies [8ndash10] employing boththe variational iteration method (VIM) and homotopy per-turbation method (HPM) to solve the free vibration equa-tions of beam on elastic foundation in this study converge tothe same results obtained in this study The reason for thatis the governing equation is a linear equation in nature andas expected analytical approximate methods converge to theexact solution In the study by Catal [7] the DTM convergesthe analytical results provided in the same study Presumablythe difference is due to the fact that Catal [7] used the lengthof the beam L in three-digit accuracy while in this study theexact values of length L are used in all calculations con-ducted

Inserting the boundary conditions given in (12)-(13) into(11) for SS CC andCSbeams a nonlinear systemof equationsin the following form would be produced

[119870 (120574)] 119862 = 0 (14)

where 119862119879 = 1198621119862211986231198624 and includes the coefficients

of (11) Coefficient matrix [119870(120574)] is dependent on frequencyfactor 120574 and equating the determinant to zero gives thefrequency factors for vibration modes of the correspondingbeam

det [119870 (120574)] = 0 (15)

Positive real roots of this equation are free vibrationfrequencies of the beams on elastic foundations shown inFigure 2

4 Numerical Study

Analytical solution for free vibration of a one end clampedand one end pinned beam on elastic foundation was previ-ously given by Catal [7] with additional analyses by DTMHowever Catal [7] gives analytical solutions for only CSbeam and in this study it is observed that these results fail tocoincide with the exact results

Previously both the variational iteration method (VIM)and homotopy perturbation method (HPM) were used tosolve the free vibration equations of beam on elastic foun-dation for support conditions of one end clamped and otherend simply supported both ends clamped and both ends sim-ply supported considering various case studies [8ndash10] In thisstudy analytical solutions for three cases are provided whichare shown in Figure 2 Each case was previously analyzed bythe use of both VIM and HPMwith the previously explainedprocedure [8ndash10] Numerical values in this study are chosenas the same used in Catal [7] Hence an IPB 500 steel profileresting on a Winkler foundation having a modulus of sub-grade reaction of 50000 kNm2 is considered Other numeri-cal values are as follows

The graphical presentations of analytical solutions areprovided in Figures 3 4 and 5

5 Conclusion

In this study the analytical results for free vibration analysisof beam on elastic foundation are provided for three differentaxially loaded cases which are namely one end clamped theother end simply supported (CS beam) both ends clamped(CC beam) and both ends simply supported (SS beam) casesIn addition the analytical solution and the frequency factorsevaluated for different ratios of axial load 119873 acting on thebeam to Euler buckling load119873

119903are obtained In Figures 3 4

and 5 it is observed that for the same values of 120582 the largestvalues of 120574 are obtained for both ends clamped (CC) beamwhile the lowest values of 120574 are obtained for both ends pinned(SS) beam

For the CS Beam it is observed that analytical solutionsgiven by Catal [7] fail to coincide with the exact results pro-vided in this study Previous studies [8ndash10] employing boththe variational iteration method (VIM) and homotopy per-turbation method (HPM) to solve the free vibration equa-tions of beam on elastic foundation in this study converge tothe same results obtained in this study The reason for thatis the governing equation is a linear equation in nature andas expected analytical approximate methods converge to theexact solution In the study by Catal [7] the DTM convergesthe analytical results provided in the same study Presumablythe difference is due to the fact that Catal [7] used the lengthof the beam L in three-digit accuracy while in this study theexact values of length L are used in all calculations con-ducted

Inserting the boundary conditions given in (12)-(13) into(11) for SS CC andCSbeams a nonlinear systemof equationsin the following form would be produced

[119870 (120574)] 119862 = 0 (14)

where 119862119879 = 1198621119862211986231198624 and includes the coefficients

of (11) Coefficient matrix [119870(120574)] is dependent on frequencyfactor 120574 and equating the determinant to zero gives thefrequency factors for vibration modes of the correspondingbeam

det [119870 (120574)] = 0 (15)

Positive real roots of this equation are free vibrationfrequencies of the beams on elastic foundations shown inFigure 2

4 Numerical Study

Analytical solution for free vibration of a one end clampedand one end pinned beam on elastic foundation was previ-ously given by Catal [7] with additional analyses by DTMHowever Catal [7] gives analytical solutions for only CSbeam and in this study it is observed that these results fail tocoincide with the exact results

Previously both the variational iteration method (VIM)and homotopy perturbation method (HPM) were used tosolve the free vibration equations of beam on elastic foun-dation for support conditions of one end clamped and otherend simply supported both ends clamped and both ends sim-ply supported considering various case studies [8ndash10] In thisstudy analytical solutions for three cases are provided whichare shown in Figure 2 Each case was previously analyzed bythe use of both VIM and HPMwith the previously explainedprocedure [8ndash10] Numerical values in this study are chosenas the same used in Catal [7] Hence an IPB 500 steel profileresting on a Winkler foundation having a modulus of sub-grade reaction of 50000 kNm2 is considered Other numeri-cal values are as follows

for the CS beam with analytical results obtained by Catal [7]Tables 2 and 3 show the analytical results for both CC and SSbeams which are not solved by Catal [7]

The graphical presentations of analytical solutions areprovided in Figures 3 4 and 5

5 Conclusion

In this study the analytical results for free vibration analysisof beam on elastic foundation are provided for three differentaxially loaded cases which are namely one end clamped theother end simply supported (CS beam) both ends clamped(CC beam) and both ends simply supported (SS beam) casesIn addition the analytical solution and the frequency factorsevaluated for different ratios of axial load 119873 acting on thebeam to Euler buckling load119873

119903are obtained In Figures 3 4

and 5 it is observed that for the same values of 120582 the largestvalues of 120574 are obtained for both ends clamped (CC) beamwhile the lowest values of 120574 are obtained for both ends pinned(SS) beam

For the CS Beam it is observed that analytical solutionsgiven by Catal [7] fail to coincide with the exact results pro-vided in this study Previous studies [8ndash10] employing boththe variational iteration method (VIM) and homotopy per-turbation method (HPM) to solve the free vibration equa-tions of beam on elastic foundation in this study converge tothe same results obtained in this study The reason for thatis the governing equation is a linear equation in nature andas expected analytical approximate methods converge to theexact solution In the study by Catal [7] the DTM convergesthe analytical results provided in the same study Presumablythe difference is due to the fact that Catal [7] used the lengthof the beam L in three-digit accuracy while in this study theexact values of length L are used in all calculations con-ducted
