Abstract The dynamic response of a non-uniform beam with time dependent elastic boundary conditions is studied by generalizing the method of Mindlin-Goodman and utilizing the exact solutions of general elastically restrained non-uniform beams given by Lee and Kuo. The time dependent elastic boundary conditions for the beam are formulated. A general form of change of dependent variable is introduced and the shifting polynomials of the third order degree, instead of the fifth order degree polynomials taken by Mindlin-Goodman, are selected. The physical meaning of these shifting polynomial functions are explored. Finally, the limiting cases are discussed and several examples are given to illustrate the analysis.

This article mainly analyzes the free vibration characteristic of the sandwich piezoelectric beam under elastic boundary conditions and thermal environment. According to the first-order shear deformation theory and Hamilton’s principle, the thermo-electro-elastic coupling equations of the sandwich piezoelectric beam are obtained. Meanwhile, elastic boundary conditions composed of an array of springs are introduced, and the displacement variables and external potential energy of the beam are expressed as wave functions. By using the method of reverberation-ray matrix to integrate and solve the governing equations, a search algorithm based on golden-section search is introduced to calculate the required frequency parameters. A series of numerical results are compared with those reported in literature studies and obtained by simulation software to verify the correctness and versatility of the search algorithm. In addition, three parametric research cases are proposed to investigate the frequency parameters of sandwich piezoelectric beams with elastic restraint conditions, material parameters, thickness ratio, different temperature rises, and external electric potential.
