A Finite Element Formulation for Bending-Torsion Coupled Vibration Analysis of Delaminated Beams under Combined Axial Load and End Moment

Figure 4

Fundamental natural frequency λ2 of homogeneous beam with clamped-clamped boundary condition, Mzz/Mb = 0.4 and central delamination located in midplane H2/H = 0.5, versus normalized axial force in “free mode” model for different values of L2/L.
