In this work, a nonlinear dynamic model is derived to study the motion of a planar robot arm consisting of one revolute and one prismatic joint. Both links of the arm are considered to be flexible and are assumed to be constructed from either isotropic conventional metallic materials or anisotropic laminated fibrous composite materials. The model is derived based on the Timoshenko beam theory in order to account for the rotary inertia and shear deformation. In addition, a nonlinear strain-displacement field is implemented to consider the large deformation of the arm. The deflections of the links are discretized by using a shear-deformable beam finite element. The governing equations of motion are derived from Hamilton’s principle. The digital simulation studies examine the combined effects of geometric nonlinearity, rotary inertia, and shear deformation on the arm’s end effector displacements. Furthermore, effects of the fiber’s angle and material orthotropy on the end effector displacements and maximum normal bending stress are studied.

In this work a general procedure to derive a nonlinear dynamic model for a three-link revolute flexible robot arm constructed from laminated fiber-reinforced composite materials is presented. The effects of geometric nonlinearity as well as rotary inertia and shear deformation are included to study the dynamic response of robotic manipulators made of moderately thick beams under large deformations. Hamilton’s principle is used to derive the equations of motion. A displacement finite element model based on the Timoshenko beam theory is implemented to approximate the solution. The digital simulation studies examine the combined effects of geometric nonlinearity, rotary inertia, and shear deformation on the arm’s end effector displacements. Furthermore, the effects of angle of fiber orientation and material orthotropy on the end-of-the-arm displacements and maximum normal bending stresses, are assessed.

The overhead gantry crane systems are extensively used in harbours and factories for transportation of heavy loads. The crane speeding up, required for motion, always induces undesirable load swing. This writings present dynamic modelling of a 3D overhead gantry crane sys-tem based on closed-form equations of motion. By using the Lagrange technique, a 3D overhead gantry crane system nonlinear dynamic model is deriving. Then perform a linearization process to obtain a linear model dynamic system. Finally, simulation results systems re-sponses of the derived nonlinear and linear model are presented showing the accuracy and performance of both model.

Based on the classical Timoshenko beam theory, the rotary inertia caused by shear deformation is further considered and then the equation of motion of the Timoshenko beam theory is modified. The dynamic characteristics of this new model, named the modified Timoshenko beam, have been discussed, and the distortion of natural frequencies of Timoshenko beam is improved, especially at high-frequency bands. The effects of different cross-sectional types on natural frequencies of the modified Timoshenko beam are studied, and corresponding simulations have been conducted. The results demonstrate that the modified Timoshenko beam can successfully be applied to all beams of three given cross sections, i.e., rectangular, rectangular hollow, and circular cross sections, subjected to different boundary conditions. The consequence verifies the validity and necessity of the modification.

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.

The nonlinear free and forced vibration of the composite beams embedded with shape memory alloy (SMA) fibers are investigated based on first-order shear deformation beam theory and the von Kármán type nonlinear strain-displacement equation. A thermomechanical constitutive equation of SMA proposed by Brinson is used to calculate the recovery stress of the constrained SMA fibers. The equations of motion are derived by using Hamilton’s principle. The approximate solution is obtained for vibration analysis of the composite beams based on the Galerkin approach. The parametric study is carried out to display the effect of the actuation temperature, the volume fraction, the initial strain of SMA fibers, and the length-to-thickness ratio. The shear deformation is shown to have a significant contribution to nonlinear vibration behavior of the composite beams with SMA fibers.

This paper presents a new nonlocal thickness-stretching sinusoidal shear deformation beam theory for the static and vibration of nanobeams. The present model incorporates the length scale parameter (nonlocal parameter) which can capture the small scale effect, and it accounts for both shear deformation and thickness stretching effects by a sinusoidal variation of all displacements through the thickness without using shear correction factor. Based on the nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen, the equations of motion of the nanobeam are derived using Hamilton's principle. The effects of nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio and the thickness stretching on the static and dynamic responses of the nanobeam are discussed. The theoretical development presented herein may serve as a reference for nonlocal theories as applied to the bending and dynamic behaviors of complex-nanobeam-system such as complex carbon nanotube system.

A method for the dynamic analysis of flexible legged locomotion systems that accounts for the rotary inertia and shear deformation effects is presented. The motion of the flexible components in the legged vehicle is described using a set of inertia-variant Timoshenko beams that undergo large rotations. A shape function that accounts for the combined effect of rotary inertia and shear is employed to describe the deformation relative to a selected component reference and the rigid-body modes of the shape function are eliminated using a set of reference conditions. Kinetic and strain energies are derived for each Timoshenko beam, thus identifying the beam mass and stiffness matrices which account for the rotary inertia and shear deformation effects. A new set of time-invariant matrices that describe the nonlinear inertia coupling between the reference motion and elastic deformation and account for the rotary inertia and shear is developed and it is shown that the form of these matrices as well as the mass and stiffness matrices are significantly affected by the inclusion of rotary inertia and shear. Numerical experimentations indicate that shear and rotary inertia can have a significant effect on the dynamics of flexible legged locomotion.

This paper deals with the effect of shear deformation and rotary inertia on the frequencies of flexural vibration of pre-twisted and non-pre-twisted uniform and tapered cantilever beams. The equations of motion are derived and transformed into a set of linear simultaneous algebraic equations by using finite-difference solutions for the derivatives. The resulting eigenvalue matrix equation is solved for the frequency parameters by a QR transformation. The effects of various tapers, depth-to-length ratios and pre-twist angles on the frequencies of vibration are investigated for the first five modes. Results obtained are compared with those presented by other investigators where available and show good agreement. The experimental results presented also show good agreement with the corresponding theoretical values.

In this study, a reduced-order nonlinear dynamic model for shaft-disk-blade unit is developed. The multibody dynamic approach with the small deformation theory for both blade-bending and shaft-torsional deformations is adopted. The equations of motion are developed using Lagrange’s equation in conjunction with the assumed modes method (AMM) for approximating the blade transverse deflection. The model showed strong coupling between the blade bending and shaft torsional vibrations in the form of inertial nonlinearity, modal coupling, stiffening, softening, and parametric excitations. The model is suitable for extensive parametric studies for predesign stage purposes as well as for diagnostics of rotor malfunctions, when blade and shaft torsional vibration interaction is suspected.
