In this paper an analytical method is implemented for solving the bending and free vibration of tapered composite beams. In this method, polynomial power series solution is used. A parametric study on tapered composite beams is conducted...

Abstract – In this paper, the friction aided deep drawing using tapered blank holder divided into four and eight segments is studied. Several parameters including effect of blank holder force, radial displacement of blank holder and punch force...

of a frame with tapered and/or prismatic columns. Accordingly, the influences of taper ratio, shape factor, flexibility of connections, and elastic support on the critical load, and corresponding equivalent efficient length factor of the frame...
