The Calculation of Frequencies of Vibration of a Truncated Cone: Development of the Theories for the Longitudinal, Flexural and Torsional Vibration of a Truncated Wedge

Abstract

THIS paper is intended as a sequel to a paper by Dr. J. F. C. Conn entitled “Vibration of a Truncated Wedge” (AIRCRAFT ENGINEERING, Vol. XVI, April 1944, pp. 103–105). The three modes of vibration—longitudinal, flexural and torsional—of a truncated cone encastré at one end and free at the other are considered separately. Special attention is given to the vibration frequencies of the cone and uniform cylinder.
