Free vibration analysis of Timoshenko beams has been presented. Discrete singular convolution method is used for numerical solution of equation of motion of Timoshenko beam. Clamped, pinned and sliding boundary conditions and their combinations are taken into account. Typical results are presented for different parameters and boundary conditions. Numerical results are presented and compared with that available in the literature. It is shown that very good results are obtained. This method is very effective for the study of vibration problems of Timoshenko beam. Copyright (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
