TI - Possibility of existence of torsional vibrations of beams in low frequency range AB - This paper discusses the problem of the existence of torsional natural modes in the low frequency range for a beam with a rectangular cross-section with different ratios between width and height and different lengths. The rectangular type of cross-section is chosen because of practical applications to describe the vibrations of some turbine blades. The analyses were conducted by applying an analytical model, but were verified using the finite element method.
