Dynamic and stability analysis of non-uniform Timoshenko beam under axial loads is carried out. In the first case of study, the axial force is assumed to be perpendicular to the shear force, while for the second case the axial force is tangent to the axis of the beam column. For each case, a pair of differential equations coupled in terms of the flexural displacement and the angle of rotation due to bending was obtained. The parameters of the frequency equation were determined for various boundary conditions. Several illustrative examples of uniform and non-uniform beams with different boundary conditions such as clamped supported, elastically supported, and free end mass have been presented. The stability analysis, for the variation of the natural frequencies of the uniform and non-uniform beams with the axial force, has also been investigated.

In Part 1, modified Donnell equilibrium equations were solved for the case of symmetrical loading and supports using Fourier series. An evaluation procedure for various boundary conditions was suggested. In Part 2, an application of the general solution is made for a shell with small circumferential grooves (or ribs) subjected to a longitudinal line load after approximations to allow for such groves are introduced. The solution is completed for boundary conditions of classical simple supports and relaxed simple supports and the results compared with experimental data.

The problem addressed in this paper is the elastic local buckling of thin-walled compression members whose plate components are tapered in thickness along the longitudinal direction. In the design of structural system in construction, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries, such structural plate components are frequently encountered. The elastic buckling analysis of transversely isotropic plates with varying thickness and various boundary conditions is performed to derive the buckling equation of thin-walled members composed of tapered plate components. In the analytical solution, the energy approach is adopted. The analytical results are presented in a graphical form in which the plate buckling coefficients are suggested with respect to the width ratio of plate elements and the degree of taper. In addition, using the buckling equations of plates with specific boundary conditions, the simplified form of equation for the local buckling coefficient of structural members such as L-section, T-section, and Box-section is suggested.

On the basis of Reissner’s mixed variational theorem (RMVT), a nonlocal Timoshenko beam theory (TBT) is developed for the stability analysis of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) embedded in an elastic medium, with various boundary conditions and under axial loads. Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory is used to account for the small length scale effect. The strong formulations of the RMVT-based nonlocal TBT and its associated possible boundary conditions are presented. The interaction between the SWCNT and its surrounding elastic medium is simulated using the Pasternak foundation models. The critical load parameters of the embedded SWCNT with different boundary conditions are obtained by using the differential quadrature (DQ) method, in which the locations of [Formula: see text] sampling nodes are selected as the roots of [Formula: see text]-order Chebyshev polynomials. The results of the RMVT-based nonlocal TBT are compared with those obtained using the principle of virtual displacement (PVD)-based nonlocal TBT available in the literature. The influences of some crucial effects on the critical load parameters of the embedded SWCNT are examined, such as different boundary conditions, Winkler stiffness and shear modulus of the foundation, aspect ratios, and the nonlocal parameter.
