Solution Methodology

In this article, a numerical solution methodology is presented to study the postbuckling configurations and free vibrations of Timoshenko beams undergoing postbuckling. The effect of geometrical imperfection is taken into account, and the analysis is carried out for different types of boundary conditions. Based on Hamilton's principle, the governing equations and corresponding boundary conditions are derived. After introducing a set of differential matrix operators that is used to discretize the governing equations and boundary conditions, the pseudo-arc length continuation method is applied to solve the postbuckling problem. Then, the problem of free vibration around the buckled configurations is solved as an eigenvalue problem using the solution obtained from the nonlinear problem in the previous step. This study shows that, when the axial load in the postbuckling domain increases, the vibration mode shape of buckled beam corresponding to the fundamental frequency may change. Another finding that can be of great technical interest is that, for all types of boundary conditions and in both prebuckling and postbuckling domains, the natural frequency of imperfect beam is higher than that of ideal beam. Also, it is observed that, by increasing the axial load, the natural frequency of both ideal and imperfect beams decreases in the prebuckling domain, while it increases in the postbuckling domain. The reduction of natural frequency in the transition area from the prebuckling domain to the postbuckling domain is due to the severe instability of the structure under the axial load.

AbstractA numerical solution method was developed to investigate the postbuckling behavior and vibrations around the buckled configurations of symmetrically and unsymmetrically laminated composite Timoshenko beams subject to different boundary conditions. The Hamilton principle was employed to derive the governing equations and corresponding boundary conditions which are then discretized by introducing a set of matrix differential operators. The pseudo-arc-length continuation method was used to solve the postbuckling problem. To study the free vibration that takes place around the buckled configurations, the corresponding eigenvalue problem was solved by means of the postbuckling configuration modes obtained in the previous step. The static bifurcation diagrams for composite beams with different lay-up laminates are given, and it is shown that the lay-up configuration considerably affects the magnitude of critical buckling load and postbuckling behavior. The study of the vibrations of composite beams with different laminations around the buckled configurations indicates that the natural frequency in the prebuckling domain increases as the stiffness of a beam increases, while there is no specific relation between the lay-up lamination and natural frequency in the postbuckling domain which necessitates conducting an accurate analysis in this area.

Abstract Free vibrations of rotating cylindrical shells with distributed springs were studied. Based on the Flügge shell theory, the governing equations of rotating cylindrical shells with distributed springs were derived under typical boundary conditions. Multicomponent modal functions were used to satisfy the distributed springs around the circumference. The natural responses were analyzed using the Galerkin method. The effects of parameters, rotation speed, stiffness, and ratios of thickness/radius and length/radius, on natural response were also examined.

In this paper, a geometrically nonlinear first-order shear deformable nanoplate model is developed to investigate the size-dependent geometrically nonlinear free vibrations of rectangular nanoplates considering surface stress effects. For this purpose, according to the Gurtin–Murdoch elasticity theory and Hamilton's principle, the governing equations of motion and associated boundary conditions of nanoplates are derived first. Afterwards, the set of obtained nonlinear equations is discretized using the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method and then solved by a numerical Galerkin scheme and pseudo arc-length continuation method. Finally, the effects of important model parameters including surface elastic modulus, residual surface stress, surface density, thickness and boundary conditions on the vibration characteristics of rectangular nanoplates are thoroughly investigated. It is found that with the increase of the thickness, nanoplates can experience different vibrational behavior depending on the type of boundary conditions.

In this investigation, an accurate solution method is presented for the free vibrations of Timoshenko beams with general elastic restraints at the end points, a class of problems which are rarely attempted in the literatures. Unlike in most existing studies where solutions are often developed for a particular type of boundary conditions, the current method can be generally applied to a wide range of boundary conditions with no need of modifying solution algorithms and procedures. Under the current framework, the displacement and rotation functions are generally sought, regardless of boundary conditions, as an improved trigonometric series in which several supplementary functions introduced to remove the potential discontinuities with the displacement components and its derivatives at the end points and accelerated the series expansion. Mathematically, the current Fourier series expansion is an exact solution for a class of problems with the Timoshenko beam such that both the governing equations and the boundary conditions simultaneously satisfy any specified degree of accuracy. The effectiveness and reliability of the presented solution are demonstrated by comparing the present results with those results published in literatures and finite element method data, and numerous new results for beams with elastic boundary restraints is presented, which may serve as benchmark solution for future researches.

Timoshenko Beams

In a previous paper, the correspondence principle has been applied to derive the differential equations of motion of viscoelastic Timoshenko beams with or without external viscous damping. To study free vibrations these equations are solved by Laplace transform and boundary conditions are applied to obtain the attenuation factor and the frequency of the damped free vibrations and mode shapes. The present paper continues to analyze this subject and deals with the responses in deflection, bending slope, bending moment and shear for forced vibrations. Laplace transform and appropriate boundary conditions have been applied. Examples are given and results are plotted. The solution of forced vibrations of elastic Timoshenko beams obtained as a result of reduction from viscoelastic case and by eigenfunction expansion method concludes the paper.

Transverse Vibrations

An exact solution for the postbuckling configurations of composite beams is presented. The equations governing the axial and transverse vibrations of a composite laminated beam accounting for the midplane stretching are presented. The inplane inertia and damping are neglected, and hence the two equations are reduced to a single equation governing the transverse vibrations. This equation is a nonlinear fourth-order partial-integral differential equation. We find that the governing equation for the postbuckling of a symmetric or antisymmetric composite beam has the same form as that of a metallic beam. A closed-form solution for the postbuckling configurations due to a given axial load beyond the critical buckling load is obtained. We followed Nayfeh, Anderson, and Kreider and exactly solved the linear vibration problem around the first buckled configuration to obtain the fundamental natural frequencies and their corresponding mode shapes using different fiber orientations. Characteristic curves showing variations of the maximum static deflection and the fundamental natural frequency of postbuckling vibrations with the applied axial load for a variety of fiber orientations are presented. We find out that the line-up orientation of the laminate strongly affects the static buckled configuration and the fundamental natural frequency. The ratio of the axial stiffness to the bending stiffness is a crucial parameter in the analysis. This parameter can be used to help design and optimize the composite beams behavior in the postbuckling domain.

The effect of non-homogenity and rotation on the free vibrations for elastodynamic problem of orthotropic hollow sphere is discussed. The free vibrations are studied on the basis of the linear elasticity. The determination is concerned with the eigenvalues of the natural frequency for mixed boundary conditions. The numerical results of the frequency equations are discussed in the presence and absence of non-homogenity and rotation.

This paper deals with analyzing free vibrations of the symmetric arch. The boundary conditions of the stress resultants are newly derived, which can be replaced by the conventional boundary conditions of the deflections. All solutions of the natural frequency with the mode shape, using the new boundary conditions, are the same as those of the conventional deflections. The boundary conditions mixed with new and conventional conditions act correctly to calculate natural frequencies. The mode shapes of the stress resultants using the new boundary conditions are reported in two types: symmetric and anti-symmetric modes.

ABSTRACTIn this paper the modified differential quadrature method (MDQM) is proposed for static and vibration analyses of beams. Modified weighting matrices are developed and a new formulation process is presented for incorporating boundary conditions such that the numerical error induced by using the δ-method in the original DQM is reduced. The present method is applied to various beam problems, such as static deflections of Euler beams, buckling loads of columns, and free vibrations of Timoshenko beams. Numerical results of the present method are shown to have excellent accuracy when compared to exact values and are more accurate than those obtained by the original DQM. The accuracy and efficiency of the present method have been demonstrated.

Initial Trial

In this paper, a new solution method is proposed for determining the natural frequency of a given mode for a finite-length circular cylindrical thin shell with a circumferential part-through crack. The governing equation of the cracked cylindrical shell is derived by integrating the line-spring model with the classical thin shell theory. The proposed method calculates the natural frequency from an initial trial to satisfy both the governing equations and appropriate boundary conditions through an optimization process. The initial trial is proposed to satisfy the governing equations by using the beam modal function to determine the modal wavenumbers and mode shapes of cylindrical shells in the axial direction, assuming the flexural mode shapes of cylindrical shells in the axial direction to be of the same form as that of a flexural vibration beam with the same boundary conditions. Four representative sets of boundary conditions are considered: simply supported (SS-SS), clamped-clamped (C-C), clamped-simply supported (C-SS), and clamped-free (C-F). Compared with the finite element (FE) method, the proposed solution method is verified to provide an accurate and efficient way to calculate the dynamic characteristics of both intact and cracked cylindrical shells.
