In previous work, Mockensturm and Mote investigated the effects of twist on steady motions of an axially moving plate. It was found that twisting produces compressive stresses that increase with twist, aspect ratio, and initial, longitudinal tension. In this work, we study the effects of the stresses and non-flat equilibrium produced by twist on the free response. To accomplish this, the equations of motion are linearized about the equilibrium configuration, yielding a set of three, coupled, linear partial differential equations. The equations are discretized and the free response is predicted from the resulting discrete eigenvalue problem. As a function of twist angle, the natural frequencies first increase and then decrease rapidly to zero as the compressive lateral stresses become sufficiently large to cause wrinkling. The effects of thickness, aspect ratio, and initial tension on natural frequencies are also studied.

It was found that twisting produces compressive stresses that increase with twist, aspect ratio, and initial, longitudinal tension.

The equations are discretized and the free response is predicted from the resulting discrete eigenvalue problem. As a function of twist angle, the natural frequencies first increase and then decrease rapidly to zero as the compressive lateral stresses become sufficiently large to cause wrinkling. The effects of thickness, aspect ratio, and initial tension on natural frequencies are also studied.

This paper is concerned with the vibrational characteristics of pre-twisted cantilever beams of uniform rectangular cross-section allowing for shear deformation and rotary inertia. A method of solution of the differential equations of motion allowing for shear deformation and rotary inertia is presented which is an extension of the method introduced by Dawson (1)§ for the solution of the differential equations of motion of pre-twisted beams neglecting shear and rotary inertia effects. The natural frequencies for the first five modes of vibration are obtained for beams of various breadth to depth ratios and lengths ranging from 3 to 20 in and pre-twist angle in the range 0–90°. The results are compared with those obtained by an alternative method (2), where available, and also to experimental results.

Nonlinear transverse vibrations of axially moving beams with multiple cracks is handled studied. Assuming that the beam moves with mean velocity having harmonically variation, influence of the edge crack on the moving continua are investigated in this study. Due to existence of the crack in the transverse direction, the healthily beam is divided into parts. The translational and rotational springs are replaced between these parts so that high stressed regions around the crack tips are redefined with the springs' energies. Thus, the problem is converted to an axially moving spring-beam system. The equations of motion and its corresponding conditions are obtained by means of the Hamilton Principle. In numerical analysis, the natural frequencies and responses of the spring-beam system are investigated for principal parametric resonance in detail. Some important results are obtained; the natural frequencies decreases with increasing crack depth. In case of the beam travelling with high velocities, the effects of crack's depth on natural frequencies seems to be vanished.

This paper investigates the dynamic stability of an axially moving web which translates with periodically varying speeds and is subjected to partially distributed tensions on two opposite edges. The web is modeled as a rectangular plate simply supported at two opposite edges where the tension is applied, and free at the other two edges. The plate is assumed to possess internal damping, which obeys the Kelvin-Voigt model. The moving speed of the plate is expressed as the sum of a constant speed and a periodical perturbation with a zero mean. Due to the periodically varying speed of the moving plate, terms with time-dependent coefficients appear in the equations of motion, which may bring about parametric instability under certain situations. First, the in-plane stresses of the plate due to the partially distributed edge tensions is determined exactly by the theory of plane elasticity. Then, the dependence on the spatial coordinates in the equations of motion is eliminated by the Galerkin method, which results in a set of discretized system equations in time. Finally, the method of multiple scales is utilized to solve this set of system equations analytically if the periodical perturbation of the moving speed is much smaller as compared with the average speed of the plate, from which the stability boundaries of the moving plate are obtained. Numerical results reveal that only combination resonances of the sum-type appear between modes having the same symmetry class in the transverse direction. Unstable regions of main resonances are generally larger than those of sum-type resonances.

The purpose of this paper is to present exact solutions for the free vibration of symmetrically laminated composite beams. The present analysis includes the first shear deformation theory and the rotary inertia. The analytical solutions take into account the thermal effect on the free vibration characteristics of the composite beams. In particular, the aim of this work is to derive the exact closed-form characteristic equations for common boundary conditions. The different parameters that could affect the natural frequencies are included as factors (aspect ratio, thermal load-to-shear coefficient, ply orientation) to better perform dynamic analysis to have a good understanding of dynamic behavior of composite beams. In order to derive the governing set of equations of motion, the Hamilton’s principle is used. The system of ordinary differential equations of the laminated beams is then solved and the natural frequencies’ equations are obtained analytically for different boundary conditions. Numerical results are presented to show the influence of temperature rise, aspect ratio, boundary conditions and ply orientation on the natural frequencies of composite beams.

This research presents theoretical investigation to analyze vibration of axially moving sandwich plate floating on fluid. This plate is composed of balsa wood core and two nanocomposite face sheets where the three layers vibrated as an integrated sandwich. The fluid–structure interaction (FSI) effects on the stability of moving plate are considered for both ideal and viscous fluid. Halpin–Tsai model is utilized to determine the material properties of two-phase composite consist of uniformly distributed and randomly oriented carbon nanotubes (CNTs) through the PmPV (poly{(m-phenylenevinylene)-co-[(2,5-dioctoxy-p-phenylene)vinylene]}) matrix. The governing equations are derived based on sinusoidal shear deformation plate theory (SSDT) which is more accurate than the conventional theories, and significantly, it does not require a shear correction factor. Employing Hamilton’s principle, the equations of motion are obtained and solved by the semi-analytical method. Results indicated that the dimensionless frequencies of moving sandwich plate decrease rapidly with increasing the water level and they are almost independent of fluid level when it is higher than 50% of the plate length. The results of this investigation can be used in design and manufacturing of marine vessels and aircrafts.

A mathematical model representing the transverse vibration of axially moving elastic strings is presented considering tension and mass variation. A suggested numerical scheme was successfully used to solve the nonlinear partial differential equations of motion. For axially nonmoving strings, the effect of initial amplitudes, and consequently the tension variation on the fundamental frequency is obtained. Also, the effect of the initial tension and the mass of the string per unit length on the fundamental frequency and their corresponding mathematical relations are presented. For axially moving strings, the effect of the axial velocity on the fundamental frequency as well as the tension distribution along the thread is given. Also the behavior of the string at velocities equal and greater than the wave speed is shown.

In this study, linear vibrations of axially moving beam simply supported between the guides are examined and natural frequencies are calculated numerically. The vibrations of axially tensioned Euler-Bernoulli beam are investigated under clamped-clamped end conditions. Governing differential equations of motion are derived using Hamilton’s Principle for two regions of the beam. The boundaries at the outer ends of the beam are assumed immovable. Non-dimensional equations of motion are derived and the solutions of the linear problem are obtained. Assuming a weakly non-linear system, linear equations are obtained using the Method of Multiple Scales. First seven natural frequencies are calculated numerically based on the flexural rigidity, axial velocity and locations of the intermediate support.

In the present research, vibration and instability of axially moving viscoelastic micro-plate is investigated. Sinusoidal shear deformation theory (SSDT) is utilized due to its accuracy of polynomial functions than other plate theories. Based on Kelvin’s model, the viscoelastic structural properties of micro-plate are taken into consideration. The modified couple stress theory (MCST) is employed because of its capability to interpret the size effect. Using Hamilton’s principle, equations of motion are obtained and solved by hybrid analytical–numerical solution at different boundary conditions. Influences of various parameters such as size effect, axially moving speed, viscoelastic structural damping coefficient, thickness and aspect ratio on the vibration characteristics of moving viscoelastic micro-plate are discussed in detail. The results indicated that the critical speed of moving micro-plate is strongly dependent on the aspect ratio, therefore, the low aspect ratio should be considered for optimum design of this kind of moving micro-devices. The results of this investigation can be used in design and manufacturing of axially moving systems at the micro-scale such as micro-magnetic tapes.

The vibration characteristics of a nonuniform, flexible and free-flying slender rocket experiencing constant thrust is investigated. The rocket is idealized as a classic nonuniform beam with a constant one-dimensional follower force and with free-free boundary conditions. The equations of motion are derived by applying the extended Hamilton’s principle for non-conservative systems. Natural frequencies and associated mode shapes of the rocket are determined using the relatively efficient and accurate Adomian modified decomposition method (AMDM) with the solutions obtained by solving a set of algebraic equations with only three unknown parameters. The method can easily be extended to obtain approximate solutions to vibration problems for any type of nonuniform beam.
