The transverse stiffness and vibration characteristics of discontinuous beams can significantly differ from those of continuous beams given that an abrupt change in stiffness may occur at the interface of the former.In this study,the equations for the deflection curve and vibration frequencies of a simply supported discontinuous beam under axial loads are derived analytically on the basis of boundary,continuity,and deformation compatibility conditions by using equivalent spring models.The equation for the deflection curve is solved using undetermined coefficient methods.The normal function of the transverse vibration equation is obtained by separating variables.The differential equations for the beam that consider moments of inertia,shearing effects,and gyroscopic moments are investigated using the transfer matrix method.The deflection and vibration frequencies of the discontinuous beam are studied under different axial loads and connection spring stiffness.Results show that deflection decreases and vibration frequencies increase exponentially with increasing connection spring stiffness.Moreover,both variables remain steady when connection spring stiffness reaches a considerable value.Lastly,an experimental study is conducted to investigate the vibration characteristics of a discontinuous beam with a curvic coupling,and the results exhibit a good match with the proposed model.
