A novel method is proposed to simplify the governing equations for the free vibration of Timoshenko beams with both geometrical nonuniformity and material inhomogeneity along the beam axis. For a wide class of Timoshenko beams, this method enables us to reduce the coupled governing differential equations with variable coefficients to a pair of uncoupled second-order differential equations of Sturm–Liouville type with respect to the rotation angle due to bending. The reduced equations contain two important parameters, one describing the variations of translational inertia and bending rigidity along the beam axis, and the other reflecting the comprehensive effect of rotatory inertia and shear deformation. A series of exact analytical solutions are derived from the reduced equations for the first time, and several examples are also provided as benchmarks.
