Abstract The natural response of a beam or pile having only a portion of its span supported by an elastic foundation is investigated for the two cases when both ends are either simply supported or free. The derivation of the shape functions and the computed natural frequencies are compared with the extreme cases where the element is either completely supported by, or fully detached from, the elastic foundation.
