For the modeling method shear and the rotary inertia effects are correctly judged based on \textit {Timoshenko beam theory}. Equations of motion of continuous models are derived from a modeling method which employs hybrid deformation variables. The equations thus derived are transmitted into dimensionless forms. The effects of dimensionless parameters on the modal characteristics of the Timoshenko beams are successfully examined through numerical study. In particular, eigenvalue loci veering phenomena and integrated mode shape critical deviations are contemplated and examined in this work.}, DOI = {10.3970/icces.2008.007.107} }
