In this paper, the stochastic properties of a uniform Timoshenko cantilever beam are investigated systematically. Based on the external viscous damping and Kelvin–Voigt viscoelastic damping, the partial differential equations of the Timoshenko beam subjected to random excitation are derived. The applied load is the concentrated force, and the excitation related to includes the ideal white noise, the band-limited white noise, and the exponential noise. Expressions are obtained for the space–time correlation functions and the space–frequency power spectral density functions of the transverse displacement response. The evident improvement is that the infinite integral and the definite integration in the mean square responses are worked out by means of the residue integral method and the integration by partial fraction, and the exact solutions of the mean square response are obtained in the form of an infinite series finally. This improvement provides a basis for both the mode truncation and the modal cross-spectral densities whether which can be ignored. Providing the numerical example, the numerical results obtained show the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.

Abstract In this study, a novel higher-order peridynamic beam formulation is presented. The formulation is obtained by using Euler-Lagrange equations and Taylor’s expansion. To demonstrate the capability of the presented approach, several different beam configurations are considered including simply supported beam subjected to distributed loading, simply supported beam with concentrated load, clamped-clamped beam subjected to distributed loading, cantilever beam subjected to a point load at its free end and cantilever beam subjected to a moment at its free end. Transverse displacement results along the beam obtained from peridynamics and finite element method are compared with each other and very good agreement is obtained between the two approaches.
