Abstract The generalized Fourier analysis is applied to the damped Timoshenko beam equation to calculate the mean-square values of displacements and bending stress, resulting from purely random loading. Compared with the calculations, based on the classical beam theory, it was found that the displacement correlations of both theories were in excellent agreement. Moreover, the mean square of the bending stress, contrary to the results of the classical beam theory, was found to be convergent. Computations carried out with a digital computer are plotted for both theories.

Laminated Composite Beams

In this Paper, the analysis of simply supported laminated composite beam having uniformly distributed load is performed. The solutions obtained in the form of the displacements and stresses for different layered cross ply laminated composite simply supported beams subjected uniformly distributed to load. Different aspect ratio consider for different results in terms of displacement, bending stress and shear stresses. The shear stresses are calculated with the help of equilibrium equation and constitutive relationship. Using displacement field including trigonometric function of laminated composite beams are derived from virtual displacement principle. There are axial displacement, transverse displacement, bending stress and shear stresses. In addition, Euler-Bernoulli (ETB), First order shear deformation beam theory (FSDT), Higher order shear deformation beam theory (HSDT) and Hyperbolic shear deformation beam theory (HYSDT) solution have been made for comparison and better accuracy of solutions and results of static analyses of laminated composite beams for simply supported laminated composite beam.

Timoshenko Beam Equation

The classical perturbation method—the expansion of a solution of an algebraic equation as a power series in a parameter—is extended to an expansion in several parameters. An example concerning the Timoshenko beam equation is used to illustrate the ideas. Advantages of the procedure are discussed in the light of this example.

Timoshenko Beam Equation

Abstract A collection of solutions to the Timoshenko beam equation is presented. Various types of support conditions and impact conditions are included. In every case the impact is assumed to be a pulse in the form of a half-sine wave. The results were found numerically, using the method of characteristics, except for one case, which was done in addition by the Laplace transform method, for check purposes. Agreement with experiment is good except for a pulse of duration comparable to the time required for the bending-type wave to travel a distance of one diameter. Discussion is included of the differences among the various cases studied.

The calculated response of a uniform beam to stationary random excitation depends greatly on the dynamical model postulated, on the damping mechanism assumed, and on the nature of the random excitation process. To illustrate this, the mean square deflections, slopes, bending moments, and shear forces have been compared for four different dynamical models, with three different damping mechanisms, subjected to a distributed transverse loading process which is uncorrelated spacewise and which is either ideally “white” timewise or band-limited with an upper cut-off frequency. The dynamic models are the Bernoulli-Euler beam, the Timoshenko beam, and two intermediate models, the Rayleigh beam, and a beam which has the shear flexibility of the Timoshenko beam but not the rotatory inertia. The damping mechanisms are transverse viscous damping, rotatory viscous damping, and Voigt viscoelasticity. It is found that many of the mean-square response quantities are finite when the excitation is ideally white (i.e., when the input has infinite mean square); however, some of the responses are unbounded. For these cases the rate of growth of the response as the cut-off frequency of the excitation is increased is obtained.
