A computer program regarding the titled problem is developed in Mathematica and this program is verified by using results available in the literature. The effects of taper parameters of the curved beam and rotation speed on natural frequencies are investigated.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCurved beams modelVibrationVibration--Mathematical modelsFinite differencesMaster Thesis
