In this paper, the dynamics of a micro-machined structure with three parallel cantilevers is investigated. The cantilevers are electrically charged and apply electrostatic force to each other. The governing equations of motion are derived using Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and considering structural modal damping. The stability condition of the beams for various electric charges is also studied. In addition, the equations of motion are integrated to obtain the response of the beams in time-domain for a range of initial conditions. This response is used to study the behavior of the beams at the stability margin. The end application of the structure under investigation is in the device characterization. The dynamic stability condition and time-domain responses are used to investigate the reliability of the characterization. Once translated back to physical quantities, these results can be used for improving the measurements.

Vibration analysis of an internally damped rotating shaft, modeled using Timoshenko beam theory, with general boundary conditions is performed analytically. The equations of motion including the effects of internal viscous and hysteretic damping are derived. Exact solutions for the complex natural frequencies and complex normal modes are provided for each of the six classical boundary conditions. Numerical simulations show the effect of the internal damping on the stability of the rotor system.

In this paper a quantum [Formula: see text] super-Yang–Mills theory perturbed by dilaton-coupled scalars, is considered. The induced effective action for such a theory is calculated on a dilaton-gravitational background using the conformal anomaly found via AdS/CFT correspondence. Considering such an effective action (using the large N method) as a quantum correction to the classical gravity action with cosmological constant we study the effect from dilaton to the scale factor (which corresponds to the inflationary universe without dilaton). It is shown that, depending on the initial conditions for the dilaton, the dilaton may slow down, or accelerate, the inflation process. At late times, the dilaton is decaying exponentially. At the end of this work, we consider the question how the perturbation of the solution for the scale factor affects the stability of the solution for the equations of motion and therefore the stability of the Inflationary Universe, which could be eternal.

The transverse vibration of a beam moving over two supports with clearance is analyzed using Euler beam theory. The equations of motion are formulated based on a Lagrangian approach and the assumed mode method. The supports with clearance are modeled as frictionless supports with piecewise-linear stiffness. A feature of the present formulation is that its complexity does not increase with increased number of supports. Results of numerical simulations are presented for various prescribed motions of the beam. The effect of support clearance on the stability of the beam is investigated.

Abstract The stability behavior of a cantilevered shaft, rotating at a constant speed and subjected to a follower force at the free end, is studied by the finite element method. The equations of motion for such a gyroscopic system are formulated by using deformation shape functions developed from Timoshenko beam theory. The effects of translational and rotatory inertia, gyroscopic moments, bending and shear deformations are included. In order to determine the critical load of the present nonconservative system more quickly and efficiently, a simple and direct method that utilizes the eigenvalue sensitivity with respect to the follower force is introduced. The numerical results show that for the present nonconservative system, the onset of flutter instability occurs when the first and second backward whirl speeds are coincident. And also, due to the effect of the gyroscopic moments, the critical flutter load decreases as the rotational speed increases.

Abstract An investigation into the dynamic behavior of a bridge with simply supported boundary conditions, carrying a moving vehicle, is performed. The vehicle has been modelled as a two degree of freedom lumped-parameter system travelling at a uniform speed. Furthermore, the bridge is assumed to obey the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory of vibration. This analysis may well be applied to a beam with different boundary conditions, but the computer simulation results given in this paper are set for only the case of freely hinged ends. Numerical solutions for the derived differential equations of motion are obtained and their close agreement, in some extreme cases, with those reported earlier by the authors are observed. Finally, the effect of speed on the maximum dynamic deflection of bridge is shown to be of much importance and hence an estimation for the critical speed of the vehicle is presented.

Traditional milling cutter bars are generally made up of metals and exhibit poor capacity of chatter suppression. This study proposes an anisotropic composites tapered cutter bar for increasing natural frequency and damping and finally achieves the goal of enhancing chatter stability. Based on Hamilton principle and Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, the partial differential motion equations of the cutting system with a 3D rotating tapered composite cutter bar are established. Next, using the Galerkin method, the equations of motion are discretized so as to derive ordinary differential equations. In the model, damping modeling of the composite cutter bar is achieved theoretically by using damping dissipation constitutive relations for viscoelastic composites. Moreover, by introducing the rotating effect of the 3D cutter bar in the 2-DOF analytical model of stability analysis first proposed for a fixed-type cutter bar, an improved prediction model is developed and used to solve the stability lobes of the cutting system in the frequency domain analytically. Furthermore, the influences of the gyroscopic effect, material, ply angle, stacking sequence, and taper ratio on chatter stability are also discussed.

This paper, composed of two parts, addresses the stability of linear commensurate order fractional systems, Dn (X) = A X 0 < n < 1, using the infinite state approach. Whereas Part 1 has been dedicated to the definition of fractional systems energy, Part 2 deals with the derivation of a stability condition. When the eigenvalues of A are real, the modal representation shows that system energy is the sum of independent modal energies, so the derivation of a stability condition is straightforward in this case. On the contrary, when the eigenvalues are complex with positive real parts, unusual energy dynamics depending on initial conditions prevent direct derivation of a stability condition. Thus, an indirect method is proposed to formulate a stability condition in the complex eigenvalues case.

In this paper, the model of a micro-machined beam-type resonator is presented. The resonator is a micro-bridge which is modeled using Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. A comb-drive electrostatic actuator is attached to the micro-bridge for the excitation/detection of vibrations. In the models presented in the literature, it is assumed that the center of mass of the comb-drive is located on the neutral axis of the beam. In this paper, it is demonstrated that this assumption can not be applied for asymmetric-shaped comb-drives. Furthermore, the governing equations of motion are derived by relaxing the above assumption. It has been shown that the off-axis center of mass of the comb-drive generates an amplitude-dependent transverse force in the beam, which is essentially a nonlinear effect. The governing equations of motion are solved using a hybrid analytical-numerical approach. The end application of the structure under investigation is in resonant sensing and energy harvesting applications.

A model of a clamped-clamped beam with an attached lumped mass is presented in this paper. The system is modeled using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. In the models presented in literature, it is assumed that the center of mass of the attached mass is located on the neutral axis of the beam. In this paper, this assumption is relaxed. The governing equations of motion are derived. It has been shown that the off-axis center of mass of the attached mass generates an amplitude-dependent transverse force in the beam, which introduces a quadratic nonlinearity. The nonlinear governing equations of motion are solved using the Multiple Scales method. The nonlinear free vibration frequencies are determined.

This paper presents a dynamic model for a class of robotic fish propelled by a tail with a flexible fin. The robot is comprised of a rigid frontal link acting as a body and a rear link serving as the tail. The tail includes a rigid component, hinged to the body through a servomotor, which is connected to a compliant caudal fin whose underwater vibration induces the propulsion. The robot’s body dynamics is modeled using Kirchhoff’s equations of motion of bodies in quiescent fluids, while its tail motion is described with Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, accounting for the effect of the encompassing fluid through the Morison equation. Simulation data of the model is compared with experimental data. Applications of the model include simulation, prediction, design optimization, and control.
