Abstract The stresses and deflections in rectangular beams and bars are calculated from the two-dimensional elasticity theory by an iterative procedure previously derived. The loading consists of either normal or shear forces varying smoothly along the span. The results are obtained in the form of infinite series, whose first terms represent the elementary solutions of strength of materials; the accuracy of the Mc/I and P/A formulas can thus be estimated. A comparison with the Timoshenko beam theory is included.

Beam theories such as the Timoshenko beam theory are in agreement with the elasticity theory. However, due to the different nonlocal averaging processes, they are expected to yield different results in their nonlocal forms. In the present work, the free vibration behavior of nonlocal nanobeams is studied using the nonlocal integral Timoshenko beam theory (NITBT) and two-dimensional nonlocal integral elasticity theory (2D-NIET) with different kernels and their results are compared. A new kernel, termed the compensated two-phase (CTP) kernel, is introduced, which entirely compensates for the boundary effects and does not suffer from the ill-posedness of previous kernels. Using the finite element method, the free vibration analysis is performed for different boundary conditions based on the first three natural frequencies. For both the NITBT and 2D-NIET with both the two-phase (TP) and CTP kernels, the nonlocal parameter has a softening effect on the natural frequencies for all the boundary conditions, without observing the paradoxical behaviors of the nonlocal differential theory. For both theories, the softening effect of the nonlocal parameter is more pronounced for the TP kernel compared to the CTP kernel. The sensitivity of the 2D-NIET to the nonlocal parameter is found to be higher than that of the NITBT. Also, the softening effects for different vibration modes are compared to each other for both theories and both kernels. The obtained results can be extended for various important beam problems with nonlocal effects and help obtain a better understanding of applicable nonlocal theories.

Pipe System

The flexural vibration band gap in a periodic fluid-conveying pipe system is studied based on the Timoshenko beam theory. The band structure of the flexural wave is calculated with a transfer matrix method to investigate the gap frequency range. The effects of the rotary inertia and shear deformation on the gap frequency range are considered. The frequency response of finite periodic pipe is calculated with a finite element method to validate the gap frequency ranges.

Main Factors

The problem of non-stationary vibration of an elastic beam caused by a transverse impact loading is studied in this work. In particular, two different approaches to the derivation of analytical solution of the problem are compared. The first one is based on the Timoshenko beam theory, the latter one follows the exact two-dimensional theory. Both mentioned methods are used for finding the response of an infinite homogeneous isotropic beam. The obtained analytical results are then compared and their agreement is discussed in relation to main factors, i.e. the beam geometry, the character of loading and times and points at which the beams responses are studied.

Abstract Vibration analysis of complex structures at medium frequencies plays an important role in automotive engineering. Flexible beam structures modeled by the classical Euler-Bernoulli beam theory have been widely used in many engineering problems. A kinematic hypothesis in the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is that plane sections of a beam normal to its neutral axis remain normal when the beam experiences bending deformation, which neglects the shear deformation of the beam. However, as observed by researchers, the shear deformation of a beam component becomes noticeable in high-frequency vibrations. In this sense, the Timoshenko beam theory, which describes both bending deformation and shear deformation, may be more suitable for medium-frequency vibration analysis of beam structures. This paper presents an analytical method for medium-frequency vibration analysis of beam structures, with components modeled by the Timoshenko beam theory. The proposed method is developed based on the augmented Distributed Transfer Function Method (DTFM), which has been shown to be useful in various vibration problems. The proposed method models a Timoshenko beam structure by a spatial state-space formulation in the s-domain, without any discretization. With the state-space formulation, the frequency response of a beam structure, in any frequency region (from low to very high frequencies), can be obtained in an exact and analytical form. One advantage of the proposed method is that the local information of a beam structure, such as displacements, bending moment and shear force at any location, can be directly obtained from the space-state formulation, which otherwise would be very difficult with energy-based methods. The medium-frequency analysis by the augmented DTFM is validated with the FEA in numerical examples, where the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method is present. Also, the effects of shear deformation on the dynamic behaviors of a beam structure at medium frequencies are illustrated through comparison of the Timoshenko beam theory and the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory.
