Some closed-form solutions in random vibration of Bresse-Timoshenko beams

Random vibration of simply supported uniform Bresse-Timoshenko beams is considered under ‘rain-on-the-roof’ (stationary space- and time -wise ideal white noise) excitation. An approximate differential equation is used with both shear distortion and rotary inertia included, but with the term which covers the simultaneous action of these effects omitted. A closed-form solution is derived for the displacement and velocity space-time correlation function of the Bresse-Timoshenko beam with transverse damping, generalizing the corresponding result by Eringen for the classical Bernoulli-Euler beam. Closed-form solutions are also derived for beams with structural or Voigt damping mechanisms. The mean-square value of the stress diverges for both the classical Bernoulli-Euler and Bresse-Timoshenko beams with transverse damping, but converges for the beam possessing structural damping. The main finding of this study is identity of the space-time correlation functions of displacement according to the refined Bresse-Timoshenko and classical Bernoulli-Euler theories, when the joint action of rotary inertia and shear deformation is neglected for the beam under the ‘rain-on-the-roof’ excitation. This remarkable coincidence takes place for beams possessing (a) transverse viscous damping, (b) Voigt damping, and (c) combined rotary and transverse viscous damping.     

Vibration of nonclassical shear beams with Winkler-Pasternak-type restraint

Transverse vibration of the shear beams containing rotary inertia and with a two-parameter elastic foundation is studied. Using asymptotic analysis of Timoshenko beam theory, we derive explicit characteristic equations of the nonclassical shear beams with Winkler-Pasternak elastic restraint and with both ends linked to translational and rotational springs. The condition of the nonclassical shear beams reducing to the classical ones is found. Natural frequencies of the nonclassical modes are evaluated for free- and pinned-elastically restrained shear beams with or without bracing. The influences of elastic restraint stiffness and rotary inertia on the natural frequencies are discussed. Some extreme cases can be recovered from the present. The obtained results are helpful in the design of a tall frame building.     

Higher-order theory for bending and vibration of beams with circular cross section

This paper presents an efficient and simple higher-order theory for analyzing free vibration of cylindrical beams with circular cross section where the rotary inertia and shear deformation are taken into account simultaneously. Unlike the Timoshenko theory of beams, the present method does not require a shear correction factor. Similar to the Levinson theory for rectangular beams, this new model is a higher-order theory for beams with circular cross section. For transverse flexure of such cylindrical beams, based on the traction-free condition at the circumferential surface of the cylinder, two coupled governing equations for the deflection and rotation angle are first derived and then combined to yield a single governing equation. In the case of no warping of the cross section, our results are exact. A comparison is made of the natural frequencies with those using the Timoshenko and Euler–Bernoulli theories of beams and the finite element method. Our results are useful for precisely understanding the mechanical behavior and engineering design of circular cylindrical beams.

Shape control of non-symmetric piezolaminated composite beams

In this paper the exact deflections of generally laminated piezoelectric composite beams are found using a new method, which includes the effect of rotary inertia and shear deformations. The effect of shear in laminated beams is more significant than in homogenous beams due to the fact that the ratio of extensional stiffness to the transverse shear stiffness is high. The exact stiffness matrix is derived, and then any set of boundary conditions, including elastic connections and assembly of members, can be solved as in the classical direct stiffness method for framed structures. In this paper several examples are given, and the posibilities for shape control are investigated.     

Shear deformation effect in flexural–torsional vibrations of beams by BEM

In this paper, a boundary element method is developed for the general flexural–torsional vibration problem of Timoshenko beams of arbitrarily shaped cross section taking into account the effects of warping stiffness, warping and rotary inertia and shear deformation. The beam is subjected to arbitrarily transverse and/or torsional distributed or concentrated loading, while its edges are restrained by the most general linear boundary conditions. The resulting initial boundary value problem, described by three coupled partial differential equations, is solved employing a boundary integral equation approach. Besides the effectiveness and accuracy of the developed method, a significant advantage is that the displacements as well as the stress resultants are computed at any cross-section of the beam using the respective integral representations as mathematical formulae. All basic equations are formulated with respect to the principal shear axes coordinate system, which does not coincide with the principal bending one in a nonsymmetric cross section. To account for shear deformations, the concept of shear deformation coefficients is used. Six boundary value problems are formulated with respect to the transverse displacements, to the angle of twist, to the primary warping function and to two stress functions and solved using the Analog Equation Method, a BEM based method. Both free and forced vibrations are examined. Several beams are analysed to illustrate the method and demonstrate its efficiency and wherever possible its accuracy.     

Asymmetric free vibrations of laminated annular cross-ply circular plates including the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia: spline method

Asymmetric free vibrations of annular cross-ply circular plates are studied using spline function approximation. The governing equations are formulated including the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia. Assumptions are made to study the cross-ply layered plates. A system of coupled differential equations are obtained in terms of displacement functions and rotational functions. These functions are approximated using Bickley- type spline functions of suitable order. Then the system is converted into the eigenvalue problem by applying the point collocation technique and suitable boundary conditions. Parametric studies have been made to investigate the effect of transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia on frequency parameter with respect to the circumferential node number, radii ratio and thickness to radius ratio for both symmetric and anti-symmetric cross-ply plates using various types of material properties.

Stability and vibration analyses of carbon nanotube-reinforced composite beams with elastic boundary conditions: Chebyshev collocation method

This article aims to investigate stability and vibration behavior of carbon nanotube-reinforced composite beams supported by classical and nonclassical boundary conditions. To include significant effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia, Timoshenko beam theory is used to formulate the coupled equations of motion governing buckling and vibration analyses of the beams. An effective mathematical technique, namely Chebyshev collocation method, is employed to solve the coupled equations of motion for determining critical buckling loads and natural frequencies of the beams with different boundary conditions. The accuracy and reliability of the proposed mathematical models are verified numerically by comparing with the existing results in the literature for the cases of classical boundary conditions. New results of critical buckling loads and natural frequencies of the beams with nonclassical boundary conditions including translational and rotational springs are presented and discussed in detail associated with many important parametric studies.     

Spatial stability and free vibration of shear flexible thin-walled elastic beams. I: Analytical approach

An improved formulation for spatial stability and free vibration analysis of thin-walled elastic beams is presented by applying Hellinger–Reissner principle and introducing Vlasov's assumption. It includes shear deformation effects due to flexural shear and restrained warping stress, rotary inertia effects and bendirsg–torsional coupling effects due to unsymmetric cross sections. Closed-form solutions for determining flexural–torsional buckling loads and natural frequencies of unsymmetric simply supported beam-columns subjected to eccentric axial force are newiy derived and also, the tangent stiffness matrix and stability functions for symmetric thin-walled beam elements subjected to axial force are presented. In a companion paper,²⁶ these analytic solutions are compared with the finite element solutions according to the increase of shear deformation effects.     

Dynamic stiffness analysis of laminated beams using a first order shear deformation theory

In this paper the exact vibration frequencies of generally laminated beams are found using a new method, including the effect of rotary inertia and shear deformations. The effect of shear in laminated beams is more significant than in homogenous beams, due to the fact that the ratio of extensional stiffness to the transverse shear stiffness is high. The exact dynamic stiffness matrix is derived, and then any set of boundary conditions including elastic connections, and assembly of members, can be solved as in the classical direct stiffness method for framed structures. The natural frequencies of vibration of a structure are those values of frequency that cause the dynamic stiffness matrix to become singular, and one can find as many frequencies as needed from the same matrix. In the paper several examples are given, and compared with results from the literature.     

基于Timoshenko梁理论的钢-混组合梁动力刚度矩阵法

基于Timoshenko梁理论提出了适用于分析钢-混组合梁自振特性的动力刚度矩阵法,该计算模型中考虑了钢-混结合面剪切滑移、剪切变形和转动惯量的综合影响。动力刚度矩阵推导过程中未引入近似位移场或力场,因此,计算结果是准确的。与其他Timoshenko梁模型最大的不同是假设混凝土子梁和钢梁分别具有独立的剪切角,这个假设更加符合组合梁的实际运动,因此,计算结果更加准确。与已发表文章中的试验梁频率计算结果作对比分析;并讨论了不同剪力键刚度、跨高比时,剪切变形和转动惯量对钢-混组合梁自振频率的影响。结果表明:相对于已有的Euler-Bernoulli组合梁、子梁转角相同假设的Timoshenko组合梁模型,文中计算方法具有更高的计算精度,尤其是对于高阶频率;频率越高、剪力键刚度越大或跨高比越小,Euler-Bernoulli组合梁模型计算结果误差越大;对于1阶、2阶和3阶频率,高跨比分别大于10、18和25后,Euler-Bernoulli组合梁模型计算结果误差小于5%。     

Vibrations of non-uniform functionally graded MWCNTs-polystyrene nanocomposite beams under action of moving load

Free and forced vibrations of non-uniform functionally graded multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-polystyrene nanocomposite beams are investigated via Timoshenko beam theory. Different MWCNTs distributions in the thickness direction are introduced to improve fundamental natural frequency and dynamic behavior of non-uniform polymer composite beam under action of moving load. So, linear distribution patterns of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the thickness direction which can readily be achieved in practice are studied. The effects of shear deformation, rotary inertia, non-uniformity of the cross-section are also considered in the formulation. The finite element method is employed to obtain a numerical approximation of the motion equation. The non-uniform beam is approximated by another beam consisting of n elements with piecewise constant thickness so that the volume remains constant for each element. The effects of non-uniformity parameters, material distributions, velocity of the moving load and boundary conditions on the dynamic behavior are investigated. It is found that the symmetrical linear distribution of MWCNTs results in an increase in the fundamental natural frequency of nanocomposite beams which are higher than those of beams with uniform and unsymmetrical MWCNTs distributions.     

Mechanical Oscillators in Inviscid Compressible Fluids

Mechanical resonators of different kinds are widely used to probe the properties of superfluid helium. When immersed in fluid medium, the oscillator response changes due to added inertia and dissipation compared to that of vacuum. The surrounding fluid is often assumed incompressible to simplify the analysis. This approximation is justified by the argument that the wavelength of sound is much larger than the relevant length scale of the resonator. We study mechanical oscillators with various geometries by means of numerical simulations. The results demonstrate that compressibility of the medium has a significant effect even when the conditions for the incompressibility approximation are usually assumed to hold. Therefore in precise measurements compressibility should be taken into account. This study is motivated by the desire to understand better the behavior of a quartz tuning fork resonator immersed in superfluid helium.

In this article, we present the nonlocal, nonlinear finite element formulations for the case of nonuniform rotating laminated nano cantilever beams using the Timoshenko beam theory.

Also, the effects of angular velocity and hub radius on the vibration behavior of the cantilever beam are studied.
