The linear lateral free vibration analysis of the rotor is performed based on a new insight on the Timoshenko beam theory. Rotary inertia, gyroscopic effects, and shear deformations are included, but the torsion is neglected and a new dynamic model is presented. It is shown that if the total rotation angle of the beam cross section is considered as one of the degrees-of-freedom of the Timoshenko rotor, as is common in the literature, some terms are missing in the modeling of the global dynamics of the system. The total deflection of the beam cross section is divided into two steps, first the Euler angles relations are employed to establish the curved geometry of the beam due to the elastic deformation of the beam centerline and then the shear deformations was superposed on it. As a result of this methodology and the mutual interaction of shear and Euler angles some variable coefficient terms appeared in the kinetic energy of the system which makes the problem be classified as the parametrically excited systems. A linear coupled variable coefficient system of differential equations is derived while the variable coefficient terms have been missing in all previous studies in the literature. The free vibration behavior of parametrically excited system is investigated by perturbation method and compared with the common Rayleigh, Timoshenko, and higher-order shear deformable spinning beam models in the rotordynamics. The effects of rotating speed and slenderness ratio are studied on the forward and backward natural frequencies and the critical speeds of the system are examined. The study demonstrates that the shear and Euler angles interaction affects the high-frequency free vibrations behavior of the spinning beam especially for higher slenderness ratio and rotating speeds of the rotor.

In this paper we present a solution of the problem of free vibrations of steel–concrete composite beams. Three analytical models describing the dynamic behavior of this type of constructions have been formulated: two of these are based on Euler beam theory, and one on Timoshenko beam theory. All three models have been used to analyze the steel–concrete composite beam researched by others. We also give a comparison of the results obtained from the models with the results determined experimentally. The model based on Timoshenko beam theory describes in the best way the dynamic behavior of this type of construction. The results obtained on the basis of the Timoshenko beam theory model achieve the highest conformity with the experimental results, both for higher and lower modes of flexural vibrations of the beam. Because the frequencies of higher modes of flexural vibrations prove to be highly sensitive to damage occurring in the constructions, this model may be used to detect any damage taking place in such constructions.

This paper presents an analytical method adopted for the free vibration analysis of a shaft, both ends of which are supported by resilient bearings. The shaft is modeled by Timoshenko beam theory. Based on this model exact frequency equation to calculate complex eigenvalues is derived and presented in complex compact form for the first time. Explicit expressions to compute the corresponding mode shapes are also presented.

Short beams are the key building blocks in many compliant mechanisms. Hence, deriving a simple yet accurate model of their elastokinematics is an important issue. Since the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory fails to accurately model these beams, we use the Timoshenko beam theory to derive our new analytical framework in order to model the elastokinematics of short beams under axial loads. We provide exact closed-form solutions for the governing equations of a cantilever beam under axial load modeled by the Timoshenko beam theory. We apply the Taylor series expansions to our exact solutions in order to capture the first and second order effects of axial load on stiffness and axial shortening. We show that our model for beam flexures approaches the model based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory when the slenderness ratio of the beams increases. We employ our model to derive the stiffness matrix and axial shortening of a beam with an intermediate rigid part, a common element in the compliant mechanisms with localized compliance. We derive the lateral and axial stiffness of a parallelogram flexure mechanism with localized compliance and compare them to those derived by the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. Our results show that the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory predicts higher stiffness. In addition, we show that decrease in slenderness ratio of beams leads to more deviation from the model based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory.

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.
