Abstract
The nonlinear flexural vibration analysis of tapered Timoshenko beams is conducted. The equations of motion for tapered Timoshenko beams are established in which the effects of nonlinear transverse deformation, nonlinear curvature as well as nonlinear axial deformation are taken into account. The nonlinear fundamental frequencies of tapered Timoshenko beams with two simply supported or clamped ends are presented.
