A free flexural vibrations of a spinning, finite Timoshenko beam for the six classical boundary conditions are analytically solved and presented for the first time. Expressions for computing natural frequencies and mode shapes are given. Numerical simulation studies show that the simply-supported beam possesses very peculiar free vibration characteristics: There exist two sets of natural frequencies corresponding to each mode shape, and the forward and backward precession mode shapes of each set coincide identically. These phenomena are not observed in beams with the other five types of boundary conditions. In these cases, the forward and backward precessions are different, implying that each natural frequency corresponds to a single mode shape.

In this paper, an integrated non-classical continuum model is developed to investigate the pull-in instability of electrostatically actuated functionally graded nanocantilevers. The model accounts for the simultaneous effects of local-microstructure, surface elasticity and surface residual in the presence of fringing field as well as Casimir and van der Waals forces. The modified couple stress and Gurtin–Murdoch surface elasticity theories are employed to conduct the scaling effects of microstructure and surface energy, respectively, in the context of Euler–Bernoulli beam hypothesis. Bulk and surface material properties are varied according to the power-law distribution through the beam thickness. The physical neutral axis position for mentioned FG nanobeams is considered. Hamilton principle is employed to derive the nonlinear size-dependent governing equations and the non-classical boundary conditions. The resulting nonlinear differential equations are solved utilizing the generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM). In addition, the non-classical boundary conditions of nanocantilever beams due to surface residual stress are exactly implemented. After validation of the obtained results by previously available data in the literature, the influences of different geometrical and material parameters on the pull-in instability of the FG nanocantilevers are examined in detail. It is concluded that the pull-in behavior of electrically actuated FG micro/nanocantilevers is significantly influenced by the material distribution, material length scale parameter, surface elasticity constant, surface residual stress, initial gap, slenderness ratio, Casimir, and van der Waals forces. The obtained results can be considered for modeling and analysis of electrically actuated FG nanocantilevers.

Abstract The principle of modal sensing is based on the use of a shaped PVDF piezoelectric film measuring strains on the surface of a bending beam and acting as a modal filter. So far, the use of this type of sensors has remained confined to studies involving uniform structures with classical boundary conditions. The goal of this paper is to present an experimental methodology for the design of a shaped modal sensor applicable to an non-uniform Euler-Bernoulli beam with arbitrary boundary conditions. This approach is illustrated with test data collected on a cantilever beam structure with a laser Doppler velocimeter.

AbstractA Fourier-Ritz method for predicting the free vibration of composite laminated circular panels and shells of revolution subjected to various combinations of classical and non-classical boundary conditions is presented in this paper. A modified Fourier series approach in conjunction with a Ritz technique is employed to derive the formulation based on the first-order shear deformation theory. The general boundary condition can be achieved by the boundary spring technique in which three types of liner and two types of rotation springs along the edges of the composite laminated circular panels and shells of revolution are set to imitate the boundary force. Besides, the complete shells of revolution can be achieved by using the coupling spring technique to imitate the kinematic compatibility and physical compatibility conditions of composite laminated circular panels at the common meridian with θ = 0 and 2π. The comparisons established in a sufficiently conclusive manner show that the present formulation is capable of yielding highly accurate solutions with little computational effort. The influence of boundary and coupling restraint parameters, circumference angles, stiffness ratios, numbers of layer and fiber orientations on the vibration behavior of the composite laminated circular panels and shells of revolution are also discussed.

We consider the boundary control problem for the homogeneous string vibrationequation with given the classical boundary (initial and final) conditions and with given valuesof the deflection function at intermediate times. The control is performed by displacementof the left end of the string when the right end is fixed. The problem is reduced to thecontrol problem with zero boundary conditions. We propose the constructive method forconstructing the boundary control of the process of string vibrations with given values ofthe deflection function at intermediate times.We present the results of numerical experimentsand the corresponding graphs confirm the validity of the results.

We consider an infinite planar straight strip perforated by small holes along a curve. In such a domain, we consider a general second-order elliptic operator subject to classical boundary conditions on the holes. Assuming that the perforation is non-periodic and satisfies rather weak assumptions, we describe all possible homogenized problems. Our main result is the norm-resolvent convergence of the perturbed operator to a homogenized one in various operator norms and the estimates for the rate of convergence. On the basis of the norm-resolvent convergence, we prove the convergence of the spectrum.

Vibration analysis of an internally damped rotating shaft, modeled using Timoshenko beam theory, with general boundary conditions is performed analytically. The equations of motion including the effects of internal viscous and hysteretic damping are derived. Exact solutions for the complex natural frequencies and complex normal modes are provided for each of the six classical boundary conditions. Numerical simulations show the effect of the internal damping on the stability of the rotor system.
