Ph.D. thesis title:
Free Vibrational Analysis of Spinning Beam-like Structures: A Dynamic Finite Elements (DFE) Approach;

A new methodology, called the Dynamic Finite Element (DFE) method, was developed to study the free vibration of beam-like structures, which usually have non-coincident elastic and inertial axes. The DFE approach can be presented as an intermediate approach between the classical Finite Element Method (FEM) and the `exact' Dynamic Stiffness Matrix (DSM) formulation. Interesting features of the exact DSM formulation are exploited to find the frequency dependent trigonomertric shape functions. The Virtual Work Principle (VWP) is then derived in which the effects of variable parameters are included. The proposed method was applied to the pure Flapping, lead-lag, and coupled bending-torsion vibrations of rotating blades with different configurations, with and without the Coriolis effects.
