Abstract: - In this paper, free vibration characteristics of a uniform Rayleigh beam are studied using the
differential transform method. The procedure entails transforming the partial differential equation governing
the motion of the beam under consideration and the associated boundary conditions. The transformation yields
a set of difference equations. Some simple algebraic operations are performed on the resulting difference
equations to determine any ith natural frequency and the closed-form series function for any ith mode shape.
Finally, one problem is presented to illustrate the implementation of the present method and analyse the effect
of mass per length on the natural frequencies of the beam.

1 Introduction
Vibration of elastic bodies, because of its real-life
applications, has been studied by quite a number of
scholars. Many authors have considered the forced
vibrations of elastic bodies such as beams and
plates. A study on the influence of a moving load
with variable velocity on the dynamic response of a
simply supported Euler-Bernoulli beam was
undertaken by Awodola [1]. The beam was assumed
to be resting on a uniform foundation and excited by
a load moving with variable velocity. Oni and
Omolofe [2] investigated the transverse vibration of
a prismatic Rayleigh beam using generalized finite
integral transform and modified Struble’s
asymptotic method. The effects of boundary
conditions, slenderness ratio and elastic foundation
on which the beam rests were analysed. Auciello
and Lippiello [3] investigated the dynamic response
of a column partially immersed in water, using the
Rayleigh beam theory to model the column. Golas
[4] worked on the influence of the rotary inertia on
the eigenvalues of composite beams. It was found
that the influence of the rotary inertia is over ten
times smaller than the influence of shear
deformations. It was therefore suggested that rotary
inertia might be neglected.
Rajesh and Kumar [5] carried out a study on free
vibration behaviour of some viscoelastic sandwich
beams based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam model at
different end classical conditions. The viscoelastic
sandwich beams considered had aluminium and
mild steel as face material and the core material was
modelled using neoprene rubber. The study reveals
that higher natural frequencies are associated with
mild steel used as face material compared with
when aluminium is used. It was further shown that
the natural frequencies reduce when neoprene
rubber was used as the core material. Usman,
Ogunsan, Okusaga and Solanke [6] studied the
influence of damping coefficient on an Euler-
Bernoulli beam excited by distributed load using the
finite Fourier sine transform and finite difference
method. It was reported that an increase in the speed
of the load causes a decrease in the amplitude of the
beam’s deflection in the presence of damping
coefficient. Contrarily, it was found that the
amplitude of the beam’s deflection decreases as the
speed of the load increases when damping is
neglected.
Usman, et al. [7] used the series solution method
to obtain the response Euler-Bernoulli beam under
the excitation of a concentrated moving load. Jimoh
and Ajoge [8] employed Galerkin’s method and the
integral transform techniques to study the influence
of rotatory inertia and axial force on the vibration
characteristics of non-uniform beam. It was

assumed that the beam resting on Pasternak
foundation was harmonically excited by moving
loads with varying magnitude. Jimoh and Ajoge [9]
considered the influence of rotatory inertial and
damping coefficient on the dynamic response of a
uniform Rayleigh beam traversed moving loads of
constant magnitude. The authors used the Fourier
Sine and Laplace Integral Transformations. It was
found that the beam’s amplitude of displacement
decreases due to increase in the values of rotatory
inertia and damping coefficient of the beam. The
effects of shear modulus, foundation modulus and
axial force on the beam’s amplitude of deflection
were also investigated.
The effect of variable prestress and foundation
constants on the natural frequencies of a simply
supported Rayleigh beam subjected to distributed
loads was analysed by Andi and Wilson [10]. The
generalized Galerkin’s and modified Struble’s
asymptotic methods were applied to solve the
vibration problem. The study reported that both the
natural and modified frequencies increase when the
values of prestress increase. Another finding of the
study has it that resonance is reached earlier for
lower values of prestress and lower values of the
foundation constant. The problem of dynamic
behaviour of two-steps nanobeam modelled using
the Rayleigh beam theory was studied by Hossain
and Lellep [11]. They analysed the influence of
rotatory inertia on the dynamic characteristics of the
system. The study shows that the effect of rotatory
inertia is highly significant in the nanobeam and its
influence rises with the increase of mode of
frequency. Omolofe and Adara [12] in a study
applied Galerkin’s residual method and Struble’s
asymptotic technique in conjunction with
Duhamel’s integral transform to analyse the
response of a beam under the action compressive
axial force and moving masses.
Differential transform method (DTM) used in
this paper has been proved to be highly effective in
solving both ordinary and partial differential
equations. Research works in which the method has
been successfully applied to solve problems in solid
mechanics and computational fluid mechanics.
These include the work of Opanuga, Adesanya,
Okagbue and Agboola [13] where DTM was used to
obtain semi-analytical solutions of the equations
governing the entropy generation of radiative
Magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection Casson
fluid. In another work by Opanuga et al. [14], DTM
was used to solve the velocity and energy equations
associated with the entropy generation of unsteady
hydromagnetic Couette flow through vertical
microchannel. Agboola et al. [15] used DTM to
study the entropy generation of a steady natural
convection flow between two vertical parallel
micro-channels with Hall effect.
The aim of this work is to analyse numerically
the vibration characteristics of a uniform Rayleigh
beam considering simply supported end conditions.
The effect of mass per unit length on the non-
dimensional frequencies of the freely vibrating
beam is also explored. It is pertinent to note that the
effects of rotary inertia and shear deformation are
neglected in the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, which
make the theory applicable to an analysis of long
and slender beams only. On the other hand, the
Rayleigh beam theory takes cognizance of the effect
of rotary inertia, while the Timoshenko beam
theory, which is applicable to short and thick beams,
considers the effects of both rotary inertia and shear
deformation. In real life engineering application,
Rayleigh beams are used to model spinning beam.

3 Problem Solution
3.1 Description of the Method of Solution
The differential transform method, which is based
on the Taylor series expansion, can be used to
obtain analytical solutions of differential equations.
To apply this method, certain transformation rules
are used to transform the governing equation of
motion and the associated boundary conditions of
the problem under consideration. This process will
yield a system of algebraic equations in terms of the
differential transforms of the original functions.
Solving this resulting system of algebraic equations
yields the desired solution of the transformed
problem. The differential transform method is
described as follows:
Let
x
be any point in a domain D. Also suppose
()Fx
is analytic in domain D. Then a power series
whose center is
0
x
can be used to represent the
function. The differential transform of the function

that there will be a decrease in natural frequencies
of excitation of the beam if there is an increase in
the beam’s mass per unit length.

The differential transform method has been used to
the closed form series solution of the freely
vibrating uniform Rayleigh beam. As earlier noted,
solving the problem using DTM involves three main
steps. The first step is to transform the equation
governing the motion as well as the boundary
conditions into a system of algebraic difference
equations. The second step entails solving the set of
algebraic difference equations in step one. Finally,
the solution of the transformed problem is inverted
using the inverse differential transform to determine
the natural frequencies and their associated closed

form series solution of the mode shape. The
influence of mass per unit length on the natural
frequencies of a simply supported Rayleigh beam
freely vibrating has also been investigated. The
governing differential equation is solved and the
dimensionless natural frequencies for various values
of the mass per unit length of the beam were
obtained and presented in table. It was found that
the natural frequency of the beam decreases with
increase in the value of the mass per unit length. It is
recommended that the further studies on the
influence of rotary inertia on the vibration
characteristics of freely vibrating Rayleigh beam
should be carried out.
