Abstract
The vibration of a standing (or hanging) segmented column, affected by its own weight, is studied. The governing difference equations are solved numerically. The results tend to those of the continuous column as the number of segments tends to infinity. For the finite number of segments, the linear relation between frequency squared and self weight does not hold as in the continuous case.
