Vibration analysis of viscoelastic single-walled carbon nanotubes resting on a viscoelastic foundation

Vibration responses were investigated for a viscoelastic Single-walled carbon nanotube (visco-SWCNT) resting on a viscoelastic foundation. Based on the nonlocal Euler-Bernoulli beam model, velocity-dependent external damping and Kelvin viscoelastic foundation model, the governing equations were derived. The Transfer function method (TFM) was then used to compute the natural frequencies for general boundary conditions and foundations. In particular, the exact analytical expressions of both complex natural frequencies and critical viscoelastic parameters were obtained for the Kelvin-Voigt visco-SWCNTs with full foundations and certain boundary conditions, and several physically intuitive special cases were discussed. Substantial nonlocal effects, the influence of geometric and physical parameters of the SWCNT and the viscoelastic foundation were observed for the natural frequencies of the supported SWCNTs. The study demonstrates the efficiency and robustness of the developed model for the vibration of the visco-SWCNT-viscoelastic foundation coupling system.     

Four-beam model for vibration analysis of a cantilever beam with an embedded horizontal crack

As one of the main failure modes, embedded cracks occur in beam structures due to periodic loads. Hence it is useful to investigate the dynamic characteristics of a beam structure with an embedded crack for early crack detection and diagnosis. A new four-beam model with local flexibilities at crack tips is developed to investigate the transverse vibration of a cantilever beam with an embedded horizontal crack; two separate beam segments are used to model the crack region to allow opening of crack surfaces. Each beam segment is considered as an Euler-Bernoulli beam. The governing equations and the matching and boundary conditions of the four-beam model are derived using Hamilton's principle. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the four-beam model are calculated using the transfer matrix method. The effects of the crack length, depth, and location on the first three natural frequencies and mode shapes of the cracked cantilever beam are investigated. A continuous wavelet transform method is used to analyze the mode shapes of the cracked cantilever beam. It is shown that sudden changes in spatial variations of the wavelet coefficients of the mode shapes can be used to identify the length and location of an embedded horizontal crack. The first three natural frequencies and mode shapes of a cantilever beam with an embedded crack from the finite element method and an experimental investigation are used to validate the proposed model. Local deformations in the vicinity of the crack tips can be described by the proposed four-beam model, which cannot be captured by previous methods.

Dynamic response of a finite length euler-bernoulli beam on linear and nonlinear viscoelastic foundations to a concentrated moving force

In this paper the dynamic response of a simply-supported, finite length Euler-Bernoulli beam with uniform cross-section resting on a linear and nonlinear viscoelastic foundation acted upon by a moving concentrated force is studied. The Galerkin method is utilized in order to solve the governing equations of motion. Results are compared with the finite element solution for the linear foundation model in order to validate the accuracy of the solution technique. A good agreement between the two solution techniques is observed. The effect of the nonlinearity of foundation stiffness on beam displacement is analyzed for different damping ratios and different speeds of the moving load. The results for the time response of the midpoint of the beam are presented graphically.     

An elastic beam moving with constant speed across a drop-out

An infinite elastic beam moves with constant speed across a frictionless rigid base containing a cut-out. Steady state solutions are obtained in closed form using both Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories. The noncontact lengths, displacement configurations and foundation reactions are determined for a range of beam speed and drop-out length. The results show that if the cut-out length is greater than a certain critical value, then the response of the moving beam ceases to be continuous with increasing drop-out length.

A meshless approach for free transverse vibration of embedded single-walled nanotubes with arbitrary boundary conditions accounting for nonlocal effect

A single-walled nanotube structure embedded in an elastic matrix is simulated by the nonlocal Euler-Bernoulli, Timoshenko, and higher order beams. The beams are assumed to be elastically supported and attached to continuous lateral and rotational springs to take into account the effects of the surrounding matrix. The discrete equations of motion associated with free transverse vibration of each model are established in the context of the nonlocal continuum mechanics of Eringen using Hamilton's principle and an efficient meshless method. The effects of slenderness ratio of the nanotube, small scale effect parameter, initial axial force and the stiffness of the surrounding matrix on the natural frequencies of various beam models are investigated for different boundary conditions. The capabilities of the proposed nonlocal beam models in capturing the natural frequencies of the nanotube are also addressed.     

Semi-analytical approach for free vibration analysis of cracked beams resting on two-parameter elastic foundation with elastically restrained ends

In present study, free vibration of cracked beams resting on two-parameter elastic foundation with elastically restrained ends is considered. Euler-Bernoulli beam hypothesis has been applied and translational and rotational elastic springs in each end considered as support. The crack is modeled as a mass-less rotational spring which divides beam into two segments. After governing the equations of motion, the differential transform method (DTM) has been served to determine dimensionless frequencies and normalized mode shapes. DTM is a semi-analytical approach based on Taylor expansion series that converts differential equations to recursive algebraic equations. The DTM results for the natural frequencies in special cases are in very good agreement with results reported by well-known references. Also, the DTM procedure yields rapid convergence beside high accuracy without any frequency missing. Comprehensive studies to analyze the effects of crack location, crack severity, parameters of elastic foundation and boundary conditions on dimensionless frequencies as well as effects of elastic boundary conditions on cracked beams mode shapes are carried out and some problems handled for first time in this paper. Since this paper deals with general problem, the derived formulation has capability for analyzing free vibration of cracked beam with every boundary condition.     

Crack detection in a beam with an arbitrary number of transverse cracks using genetic algorithms

In this paper, a crack detection approach is presented for detecting depth and location of cracks in beam-like structures. For this purpose, a new beam element with an arbitrary number of embedded transverse edge cracks, in arbitrary positions of beam element with any depth, is derived. The components of the stiffness matrix for the cracked element are computed using the conjugate beam concept and Betti’s theorem, and finally represented in closed-form expressions. The proposed beam element is efficiently employed for solving forward problem (i.e., to gain precise natural frequencies and mode shapes of the beam knowing the cracks’ characteristics). To validate the proposed element, results obtained by new element are compared with two-dimensional (2D) finite element results and available experimental measurements. Moreover, by knowing the natural frequencies and mode shapes, an inverse problem is established in which the location and depth of cracks are determined. In the inverse approach, an optimization problem based on the new finite element and genetic algorithms (GAs) is solved to search the solution. It is shown that the present algorithm is able to identify various crack configurations in a cracked beam. The proposed approach is verified through a cracked beam containing various cracks with different depths.

Free vibration analysis of beams with non-ideal clamped boundary conditions

A non-ideal boundary condition is modeled as a linear combination of the ideal simply supported and the ideal clamped boundary conditions with the weighting factors k and 1-k, respectively. The proposed non-ideal boundary model is applied to the free vibration analyses of Euler-Bernoulli beam and Timoshenko beam. The free vibration analysis of the Euler-Bernoulli beam is carried out analytically, and the pseudospectral method is employed to accommodate the non-ideal boundary conditions in the analysis of the free vibration of Timoshenko beam. For the free vibration with the non-ideal boundary condition at one end and the free boundary condition at the other end, the natural frequencies of the beam decrease as k increases. The free vibration where both the ends of a beam are restrained by the non-ideal boundary conditions is also considered. It is found that when the non-ideal boundary conditions are close to the ideal clamped boundary conditions the natural frequencies are reduced noticeably as k increases. When the non-ideal boundary conditions are close to the ideal simply supported boundary conditions, however, the natural frequencies hardly change as k varies, which indicate that the proposed boundary condition model is more suitable to the non-ideal boundary condition close to the ideal clamped boundary condition.     

Vibration suppression of atomic-force microscopy cantilevers covered by a piezoelectric layer with tensile force

In this paper, vibration suppression of a micro-beam covered by a piezoelectric layer is studied. The micro-beam is modeled with the specific attention to its application in AFM. The AFM micro-beam is a cantilever one which is stimulated close to its natural frequency by applying a harmonic voltage to the piezoelectric layer. The beam is an Euler-Bernoulli beam which abbeys Kelvin-Voigt model. Using such model supplies the comparison between elastic and viscoelastic beams; and one of the most important properties of viscoelastic materials, damping effect can readily be investigated. The pump provides an axial load with the result that it suppresses the vibrations. First, the vibration equations are extracted using Lagrangian and extended Hamiltonian method in vertical, longitudinal, as well as torsional directions and are discretized by exploiting the Galerkin mode summation approach. The discretized time-domain equations are solved by the aid of the Runge-Kutta method. The viscoelastic beam is compared with the elastic one, and the effects of damping ratio on vibration responses are presented. Additionally, the effects of micro-pump load, excitation voltage, and initial twist angle are investigated on the amplitude of vibration and natural frequency of system. It is observed that viscoelasticity of beam and axial load of the pump reduce vibrations and provide uniform time-domain responses without beatings.     

Vibration analysis of non-uniform beams having multiple edge cracks along the beam's height

Bending vibration of non-uniform rectangular beams with multiple edge cracks along the beam's height is investigated. These cracks are called height-edge cracks in this paper. The energy based method is used for defining the vibration of height-edge cracked beams. The opening form of the height-edge crack is determined when the external moment is assumed to be applied for stretching the beam's width. Strain energy increase is obtained by calculating the strain change at the stretched surface by taking into account the effect of angular displacement of the beam due to the bending. The Rayleigh-Ritz approximation method is used in the analysis. The cases of multiple cracks are analysed in the method by using the approach based on the definition of strain disturbance variation along the beam. Examples are presented on a fixed-fixed beam and several cantilever beams having different taper factors. When the results are compared with the results of a commercial finite element program, good agreement is obtained. The effects of taper factors, boundaries and positions of cracks on the natural frequency ratios are presented in graphics.     

Investigation of the dynamic bending moment transmitted to the forging manipulator due to press motion

The bending moment transmitted to the forging manipulator due to press motion during metal forming process is investigated. The dynamic model of the forging manipulator system is established, including the manipulator and the workpiece by using Lagrange equation. The system is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam with spring-mass at the sliding end, which experiences a transient vibration due to displacement excitation. The Winkler foundation model is used to simulate the rotational constraint of the forging dies on the workpiece because of the surface contact. The numerical results are compared with the LS-DYNA simulations, and a good prediction on the bending moment could be obtained with the comparatively simple proposed model. The results indicate that the press position where the forging dies work along the workpiece plays a crucial role for the dynamic bending moment. To further investigate the dynamic effects due to the press motion, the influence of clamp mass of the manipulator is also examined.

In this paper, the influence of two open cracks on the dynamic behavior of a double cracked simply supported beam is investigated both analytically and experimentally. The equation of motion is derived by using the Hamilton’s principle and analyzed by numerical method. The simply supported beam is modeled by the Euler-Bemoulli beam theory. The crack sections are represented by a local flexibility matrix connecting three undamaged beam segments. The influences of the crack depth and the position of each crack on the vibration mode and the natural frequencies of a simply supported beam are analytically clarified for the single and double cracked simply supported beam. The theoretical results are also validated by a comparison with experimental measurements.     

Explicit formulation for natural frequencies of double-beam system with arbitrary boundary conditions

In this paper, free transverse vibration of two parallel beams connected through Winkler type elastic layer is investigated. Euler-Bernoulli beam hypothesis has been applied and it is assumed that boundary conditions of upper and lower beams are similar while arbitrary without any limitation even for non-ideal boundary conditions. Material properties and cross-section geometry of beams could be different from each other. The motion of the system is described by a homogeneous set of two partial differential equations, which is solved by using the classical Bernoulli-Fourier method. Explicit expressions are derived for the natural frequencies. In order to verify accuracy of results, the problem once again solved using modified Adomian decomposition method. Comparison between results indicates excellent accuracy of proposed formulation for any arbitrary boundary conditions. Derived explicit formulation is simplest method to determine natural frequencies of double-beam systems with high level of accuracy in comparison with other methods in literature.     

Nonlinear viscose flow induced nonlocal vibration and instability of embedded DWCNC via DQM

Nonlinear thermo free vibration and instability of viscose fluid-conveying double-walled carbon nanocones (DWCNCs) are studied using Hamilton’s principle and differential quadrature method (DQM). The small-size effects on bulk viscosity and slip boundary conditions of nanoflow through Knudsen number (Kn) is considered. The nanocone is simulated as a clamped-clamped Euler-Bernoulli’s beam embedded in an elastic foundation of the Winkler and Pasternak type. The van der Waals (vdW) forces between the inner and outer nanocones are taken into account. The detailed parametric study is conducted, focusing on the combined effects of the nonlocal parameter, apex angles, aspect ratio, temperature change, fluid viscosity, boundary conditions and the elastic medium coefficient on the dimensionless frequency and critical fluid velocity of DWCNCs. The results show that the small-size effect on flow field is remarkable on frequency and critical fluid velocity of DWCNC. Also, the nonlinear frequency and critical flow velocity decrease with increasing the nonlocal parameter and cone semi-vertex angle. The results are in good agreement with the previous researches.
