Abstract

In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of spinning Timoshenko beams are investigated by using the differential quadrature method (DQM). The beams are subject to any combination of free, simply supported, clamped and elastically supported boundary conditions. The weighting matrices in the differential quadrature formulation are modified to incorporate boundary conditions of the beams. Numerical results of spinning Timoshenko beams obtained by the DQM are compared with the exact solutions or results obtained by the finite element method. The results show the high accuracy and efficiency of the differential quadrature method.
