The Cauchy function and characteristic series were applied to solve the boundary value problem of free transverse vibrations of vertically mounted, elastically supported tapered cantilever columns. The columns can be subjected to universal axial point loads which considerate – conservative and follower /tangential/ forces, and to distributed loads along the cantilever length. The general form of characteristic equation was obtained taking into account the shape of tapered cantilever for attached and elastically secured. Bernstein-Kieropian double and higher estimators of natural frequency and critical loads were calculated based on the first few coefficients of the characteristic series. Good agreement was obtained between the calculated natural frequency and the exact values available in the literature.

Experiments show that the natural frequency of a beam-plate in a transverse static magnetic field decreases to near zero as the field attains a critical value which causes the same plate to buckle statically. Under an oscillating magnetic field the beam-plate is observed to become unstable and perform parametrically excited oscillations. A mathematical model based on a quasistatic solution for the magnetization in the deformed plate is proposed. The theoretical results agree very well with the experimental data. It is shown that the phenomena are analogous to those for a beam-column under static and dynamic axial forces.

This paper is concerned with the free vibration analysis of Timoshenko piles partially embedded in elastic soil, semi-rigidly connected at the upper end, and subjected to an axial force. The pile is divided into three regions: the pile portion above the soil constitutes the first region, while the second and third regions are the pile portion that is embedded in two different layers of the soil type. The pile material is assumed to be linearly elastic and the axial force is constant along the pile length. The soil is idealized by the Winkler model and the semi-rigid connection of the pile is modeled by a rotational spring. The natural frequencies of the piles are calculated from the transfer matrix for different axial forces, rotational spring constants, subgrade reaction moduli and embedded lengths of the pile. The results indicate that the natural frequency of the pile decreases as the axial force increases. Further, the increase in the stiffness of the rotational spring at the upper end of the pile causes only a small increase in the natural frequency. Finally, both the pile length and the subgrade reaction of the soil influence significantly the natural frequency of the pile.

Aiming at the current insufficient dynamic analysis of the cable arrangement device, the axial dynamics analysis of the cable arrangement device is carried out in combination with the force characteristics of the cable arrangement device. The axial dynamic model of cable arrangement device is established by using spring-damping model, and the dynamic equation is established by using Lagrange equation. The influence of system parameters of cable arrangement device on axial first-order natural frequency is analyzed by numerical method. By fitting and loading the external excitation of the cable arrangement device, the axial dynamic response of the cable arrangement device under different axial forces is obtained. Through numerical results, the influence laws of the position and mass of the traveling mechanism and the support stiffness of the lead screw on the axial first-order natural frequency are obtained, It is found that the axial displacement of the cable arrangement device under axial force is very small, and the cable arrangement device has strong retention of dynamic characteristics. The results have certain guiding significance for the structural design and application environment of cable arrangement device.

This works aims to investigate the effect of axial forces on the static behavior and the fundamental natural frequency of electrostatically actuated MEMS arches. The analysis is based on a nonlinear equation of motion of a shallow arch under axial and electrostatic forces. The static equation is solved using a reduced-order model based on the Galerkin procedure. The effects of the axial and electrostatic forces on the static response are examined. Then, the eigenvalue problem of the arch is solved for various equilibrium positions. Several results are shown for the variations of the natural frequency and equilibrium position of the arch under axial forces ranging from compressive loads beyond buckling to tensile loads and for voltage loads starting from small values to large values near the pull-in instability. It is found that the dynamics of MEMS arches are very sensitive to axial forces, which may be induced unintentionally through microfabrication processes or due to temperature variations while in use. On the other hand, it is shown that axial forces can be used deliberately to control the dynamics of MEMS arches to achieve desirable functions, such as extending their stable operation range and tuning their natural frequencies.

Abstract In this paper, an evaluation was tried for the impact of structural design on structural response. Several situations are foreseen as the possibilities of changing the distribution of the structural elements (sails, columns, etc.), the width of the structure and the number of floors indicates the adapted type of bracing for a given structure by referring only to its Geometric dimensions. This was done by studying the effect of the technical design of the building on the natural frequency of the structure with the study of the influence of the distribution of the structural elements on the seismic response of the building, taking into account of the requirements of the Moroccan earthquake regulations 2000/2011 and using the ANSYS APDL and Robot Structural Analysis software.
