<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>In this study, vibration of thin beams are analyzed by using point interpolation (PIM)
and Radial Point Interpolation (RPIM) methods with standard Gaussian integration and
a nodal integration based on the Taylor series expansion. The effects of integration
schemes, support domain sizes and RPIM shape parameters on the vibration modes are
investigated. A cantilever beam problem is solved by linear elastic materials with uniform cross-section. The results are compared with finite element and available analytical
solutions.</p>
