The differential quadrature method (DQM) is applied to computation of the eigenvalues of small amplitude free vibration for thin-walled curved beams including a warping contribution. Natural frequencies are calculated for singlespan, curved, wide-flange uniform beams having a range of nondimensional parameters representing variations in warping stiffness, torsional stiffness, radius of curvature, included angle of the curve, polar mass moment of inertia, and various end conditions. Results are compared with existing exact and numerical solutions by other methods for cases in which they are available. It is found that the DQM gives good accuracy even when only a limited number of grid points is used. In addition, results are given for a cantilever beam not previously considered for this problem. Finally, parametric results are presented in dimensionless form.
