Stiffness and consistent mass matrices for tapered bars and shafts are derived with the aid of static displacement functions. Moreover, the corresponding dynamic stiffness matrices are developed in the Laplace transform domain from the exact solutions of axial/torsional governing equations. Power series expansions of the Bessel functions comprising the dynamic stiffness influence coefficients show that the stiffness and consistent mass matrices can be mathematically derived from the dynamic stiffness matrices. A discussion on the convergence of the power series expansions is also presented. The developments provide further insight into the approximations present in conventional consistent mass formulations of frameworks with tapered members.
