| dc.description.abstract | The differential eigenvalue problem of a long and very flexible rotating fixed-free beam is studied. This kind of system produces a singular perturbation equation with a turning point. The perturbation factor arises because of the division of the small bending stiffness value by the large value of the length to the power of four. A translation of the beam along one of the rotating axis was required in order to solve the reduced problem, in which the perturbing factor is set to zero. A formal composite solution is proposed and the eigenvalue problem is solved complementing the asymptotic method with a numerical method. The eigenfunctions are found to depend upon even integer Legendre polynomials and the Airy functions. The assumed modes method is used in order to compare the approximate solutions. | en |
