This paper focuses on effect of material properties on free vibration characteristics of nonsymmetrical axially loaded thin-walled Euler-Bernoulli beams. Many scientists studied the vibration of coupled systems but adequate consideration has not been given to detailed and parametric studies on the effect of material properties on vibration properties. The current findings of this study show that there have been quite different effects of material properties on the systems without symmetry axis than on the systems with symmetry axis. Material properties are properties affecting the free vibration behavior. Moreover, effect of axial load on natural frequencies was also investigated in this study. Convergence work revealed that the current mathematical model simulated the problem with excellent accuracy.
