Summary This paper gives two improved tapered elements for vibration analysis derived using quintic polynomial displacement functions. The elements employ different nodal continuity conditions. Results are compared with those given by the basic cubic approximations and analytical solutions for various end conditions. The advantages of the new elements over the basic element are discussed.
