8.10 Effect of Rotary Inertia on the Free Flexural
Vibration of Beams
The displacement of a fibre located at a distance z from the axis of the beam is given
by (Fig. 8.13)
u = −z
∂ y
∂ x
(8.140)
The displacement u is a function of y. As y varies with time, u also varies with
time. Further, u also varies with the distance of the fibre from the axis. As such, the
