When a cantilever beam, an aircraft propeller, a turbine or compressor blade, is twisted, the natural frequencies of vibration may be changed appreciably. The effect of twist depends on the width-to-thickness ratio. An experimental and analytical investigation was made of the effect of twist for various width-to-thickness ratios.
