AYA B, Hugo; CANO M, Ricardo  y  ZHEVANDROV B, Petr. Non-uniform Euler-Bernoulli beams´ natural frequencies. Ing. Investig. [online]. 2011, vol.31, n.1, pp. 7-15. ISSN 0120-5609.

This paper has studied the problem of natural frequencies for Euler-Bernoulli beams having non-uniform crosssection. The numerically-obtained solutions were compared to asymptotic solutions obtained by the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) method. It was established that WKB formula precision was higher than 3% for high frequencies (≥ 4 mode).
