“…Vibrations of Timoshenko–Ehrenfest beams on an elastic foundation have been treated in several works, namely by Abohadima et al [3], Auciello [4], Avramidis and Morfidis [5], Atternejad et al [6], Calio and Greco [7], de Rosa [8], Hassan and Nassar [9], Manevich [10], Matsunaga [11], Obara [12], Sadeghian and Ekhterai Toussi [13], Wang and Gagnon [14], Wu [15], Yin [16], Yokoyama [17,18], and others. As example, in the work by de Rosa [8], the free vibration frequencies of Timoshenko–Ehrenfest beams on a two-parameter elastic foundation (Winkler and Pasternak) are examined; two variants of the equations of motion are deduced, and both axial flexibilities and rotational flexibilities of the constraints are taken in to account.…”
