In this study, out of plane vibration characteristics of curved beams having variable curvatures and cross-sections are studied by FDM (Finite Difference Method). The effects of curvature and cross-section of the curved beam on natural frequencies are investigated for the curved beams having; variable curvature & constant cross-section and variable curvature & variable cross-section. Mathematical model of the present problem is based on the coupled differential eigenvalue problem with variable coefficients. Numerical solutions of the problem in this study are obtained by the computer program developed in Mathematica. The accuracy of the present results obtained from the developed program is evaluated by comparing with FEM (Finite Element Method) results found from solid model created in ANSYS. Good agreement is obtained in the comparisons of the present results with other results. All results are presented in tabular and graphical forms.

A very thin circular curved beam is analyzed for its natural frequency in this project. Only out of plane vibrations are considered in this project. The stiffness matrix and mass matrix are derived from the strain energy and kinetic energy. This is done with the help of natural shape functions. The derivations are done in local coordinate system or Global Cartesian coordinate system. The out of plane deformations considered are the rigid body displacement of the centre of curvature in the axial direction, the rigid body rotation about the centre of curvature in the radial direction, and the rigid body rotation about the centre of curvature in the circumferential direction at the mid cross section.
