Non-linear dynamic response of a rotating radial Timoshenko beam with periodic pulse loading at the free-end

Consideration is given to the dynamic response of a Timoshenko beam under repeated pulse loading. Starting with the basic dynamical equations for a rotating radial cantilever Timoshenko beam clamped at the hub in a centrifugal force field, a system of equations are derived for coupled axial and lateral motions which includes the transverse shear and rotary inertia effects, as well. The hyperbolic wave equation governing the axial motion is coupled with the flexural wave equation governing the lateral motion of the beam through the velocity-dependent skew-symmetric Coriolis force terms. In the analytical formulation, Rayleigh-Ritz method with a set of sinusoidal displacement shape functions is used to determine stiffness, mass and gyroscopic matrices of the system. The tip of the rotating beam is subjected to a periodic pulse load due to local rubbing against the outer case introducing Coulomb friction in the system. Transient response of the beam with the tip deforming due to rub is discussed in terms of the frequency shift and non-linear dynamic response of the rotating beam. Numerical results are presented for this vibro-impact problem of hard rub with varying coefficients of friction and the contact-load time. The effects of beam tip rub forces transmitted through the system are considered to analyze the conditions for dynamic stability of a rotating blade with intermittent rub.     

Vibration analysis of a rotating tapered Timoshenko beam using DTM

In this study, free vibration analysis of a rotating, tapered Timoshenko beam that undergoes flapwise bending vibration is performed. Derivation of the equations of motion of a rotating, uniform Timoshenko beam was made step by step in a previous work of the authors. Therefore, differential equations of motion are given directly without making any derivations in this paper. The parameters for the hub radius, rotational speed, taper ratio, rotary inertia, shear deformation and slenderness ratio are incorporated into the equations of motion. In the solution part, an efficient mathematical technique called the Differential Transform Method, DTM, is used. Finally, using the computer package Mathematica, the natural frequencies are calculated and the effects of the incorporated parameters are examined. Moreover, numerical examples are solved to make comparisons with the existing results in open literature and it is observed that the agreement between the results is very good.     

Stochastic response of an axially loaded composite Timoshenko beam exhibiting bending–torsion coupling

A spectral finite element method is proposed to investigate the stochastic response of an axially loaded composite Timoshenko beam with solid or thin-walled closed section exhibiting bending–torsion materially coupling under the stochastic excitations with stationary and ergodic properties. The effects of axial force, shear deformation (SD) and rotary inertia (RI) as well as bending–torsion coupling are considered in the present study. First, the damped general governing differential equations of motion of an axially loaded composite Timoshenko beam are derived. Then, the spectral finite element formulation is developed in the frequency domain using the dynamic shape functions based on the exact solutions of the governing equations in undamped free vibration, which is used to compute the mean square displacement response of axially loaded composite Timoshenko beams. Finally, the proposed method is illustrated by its application to a specific example to investigate the effects of bending–torsion coupling, axial force, SD and RI on the stochastic response of the composite beam.     

Dynamic modeling of a revolute-prismatic flexible robot arm fabricated from advanced composite materials

A dynamic model for a two degree-of-freedom planar robot arm is derived in this study. The links of the arm, connected to prismatic and revolute joints, are considered to be flexible. They are assumed to be fabricated from either aluminum or laminated composite materials. The model is derived based on the Timoshenko beam theory in order to account for the rotary inertia and shear deformation. These effects are significant in modeling flexible links connected to prismatic joints. The deflections of the links are approximated by using a shear-deformable beam finite element. Hamilton's principle is implemented to derive the equations describing the combined rigid and flexible motions of the arm. The resulting equations are coupled and highly nonlinear. In view of the large number of equations involved and their geometric nonlinearity (topological and quadratic), the solution of the equations of motion is obtained numerically by using a stiff integrator.The digital simulation studies examine the interaction between the flexible and the rigid body motions of the robot arm, investigate the improvement in the accuracy of the model by considering the flexibility of all rather than some of the links of the arm, assess the significance of the rotary inertia and shear deformation, and illustrate the advantages of using advanced composites in the structural design of robotic manipulators.

A simple spinning laminated composite shaft model

A simple spinning composite shaft model is presented in this paper. The composite shaft contains discrete isotropic rigid disks and is supported by bearings that are modeled as springs and viscous dampers. Based on a first-order shear deformable beam theory, the strain energy of the shaft are found by adopting the three-dimensional constitutive relations of material with the help of the coordinates transformation, while the kinetic energy of the shaft system is obtained via utilizing the moving rotating coordinate systems adhered to the cross-sections of shaft. The extended Hamilton’s principle is employed to derive the governing equations. In the model the transverse shear deformation, rotary inertia and gyroscopic effects, as well as the coupling effect due to the lamination of composite layers have been incorporated. To verify the present model, the critical speeds of composite shaft systems are compared with those available in the literature. A numerical example is also given to illustrate the frequencies, mode shapes, and transient response of a particular composite shaft system.

In this paper, two-mode combination resonances of a simply supported rotating shaft are investigated. The shaft is modeled as an in-extensional spinning beam with large amplitude. Rotary inertia and gyroscopic effects are included, but shear deformation is neglected. The equations of motion are derived with the aid of the Hamilton principle and then transformed to the complex form. The method of harmonic balance is applied to obtain analytical solutions. Frequency-response curves are plotted for the combination resonances of the first and the second modes. The effects of eccentricity and external damping are investigated on the steady state response of the rotating shaft. The loci of saddle node bifurcation points are plotted as functions of external damping and eccentricity. The results are validated with numerical simulations.

Energy expressions and free vibration analysis of a rotating Timoshenko beam featuring bending�Cbending-torsion coupling

In this study, free vibration analysis of a uniform, rotating, cantilever Timoshenko beam featuring bending?Cbending-torsion coupling is performed. To the best of the authors?? knowledge, there is no explicit formulation in open literature for rotating Timoshenko beams featuring bending?Cbending-torsion coupling. Therefore, in this study, derivation of the kinetic and the potential energy expressions for the mentioned beam model is carried out in a detailed way by using several explanatory tables and figures. The parameters for the hub radius, rotational speed, rotary inertia, shear deformation and bending?Cbending-torsion coupling are incorporated into the energy expressions. The governing differential equations of motion are obtained by applying the Hamilton??s principle to the derived energy expressions and solved using an efficient mathematical technique, called the differential transform method. The natural frequencies are calculated, and comparisons are made with the results in open literature. Consequently, it is observed that there is a good agreement between the results, which validates the accuracy of the derived formulation and the built beam model.

Nonlinear dynamic analysis of Timoshenko beams by BEM. Part II: applications and validation

In this two-part contribution, a boundary element method is developed for the nonlinear dynamic analysis of beams of arbitrary doubly symmetric simply or multiply connected constant cross section, undergoing moderate large displacements and small deformations under general boundary conditions, taking into account the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia. In Part I the governing equations of the aforementioned problem have been derived, leading to the formulation of five boundary value problems with respect to the transverse displacements, to the axial displacement and to two stress functions. These problems are numerically solved using the Analog Equation Method, a BEM based method. In this Part II, numerical examples are worked out to illustrate the efficiency, the accuracy and the range of applications of the developed method. Thus, the results obtained from the proposed method are presented as compared with those from both analytical and numerical research efforts from the literature. More specifically, the shear deformation effect in nonlinear free vibration analysis, the influence of geometric nonlinearities in forced vibration analysis, the shear deformation effect in nonlinear forced vibration analysis, the nonlinear dynamic analysis of Timoshenko beams subjected to arbitrary axial and transverse in both directions loading, the free vibration analysis of Timoshenko beams with very flexible boundary conditions and the stability under axial loading (Mathieu problem) are presented and discussed through examples of practical interest.

Free vibration of functionally graded beams based on both classical and first-order shear deformation beam theories

The free vibration of functionally graded material （FGM） beams is studied based on both the classical and the first-order shear deformation beam theories. The equations of motion for the FGM beams are derived by considering the shear deforma- tion and the axial, transversal, rotational, and axial-rotational coupling inertia forces on the assumption that the material properties vary arbitrarily in the thickness direction. By using the numerical shooting method to solve the eigenvalue problem of the coupled ordinary differential equations with different boundary conditions, the natural frequen- cies of the FGM Timoshenko beams are obtained numerically. In a special case of the classical beam theory, a proportional transformation between the natural frequencies of the FGM and the reference homogenous beams is obtained by using the mathematical similarity between the mathematical formulations. This formula provides a simple and useful approach to evaluate the natural frequencies of the FGM beams without dealing with the tension-bending coupling problem. Approximately, this analogous transition can also be extended to predict the frequencies of the FGM Timoshenko beams. The numerical results obtained by the shooting method and those obtained by the analogous transformation are presented to show the effects of the material gradient, the slenderness ratio, and the boundary conditions on the natural frequencies in detail.     

Finite-Element Dynamic Analysis of a Rotating Shaft with or without Nonlinear Boundary Conditions Subject to a Moving Load

A C ⁰ continuity isoparametricfinite-element formulation is presented for the dynamic analysis of arotating or nonrotating beam with or without nonlinear boundaryconditions subject to a moving load. The nonlinear end conditions arisefrom nonlinear rolling bearings (both the nonlinear stiffness andclearance(s) are accounted for) supporting a rotating shaft. The shaftfinite-element model includes shear deformation, rotary inertia, elasticbending, and gyroscopic effect. Lagrange's equations are employed toderive system equations of motion which, in turn, are decoupled usingmodal analysis expressed in the normal coordinate representation. Theanalyses are implemented in the finite-element program DAMRO 1.Dynamic deflections under the moving load of rotating and nonrotatingsimply supported shafts are compared with those obtained using exactsolutions and other published methods and a typical coincidence isobtained. Samples of the results, in both the time and frequencydomains, of a rotating shaft incorporating ball bearings are presentedfor different values of the bearing clearance. And the results show thatsystems incorporating ball bearings with tight (zero) clearance have thesmallest amplitude-smoothest profile dynamic deflections. Moreover, fora system with bearing clearance, the vibration spectra of the shaftresponse under a moving load show modulation of the system naturalfrequencies by a combination of shaft rotational and bearing cagefrequencies. However, for a simply supported rotating shaft, the firstnatural frequency in bending dominates the response spectrum. The paperpresents the first finite-element formulation for the dynamic analysisof a rotating shaft with or without nonlinear boundary conditions underthe action of a moving load.

Stabilization of beam parametric vibrations with shear deformations and rotary inertia effects

The purpose of this theoretical work is to present a stabilization problem of beam with shear deformations and rotary inertia effects. A velocity feedback and particular polarization profiles of piezoelectric sensors and actuators are introduced. The structure is described by partial differential equations with time-dependent coefficient including transverse and rotary inertia terms, general deformation state with interlaminar shear strains. The first order deformation theory is utilized to investigate beam vibrations. The beam motion is described by the transverse displacement and the slope. The almost sure stochastic stability criteria of the beam equilibrium are derived using the Liapunov direct method. If the axial force is described by the stationary and continuous with probability one process the classic differentiation rule can be applied to calculate the time-derivative of functional. The particular problem of beam stabilization due to the Gaussian and harmonic forces is analyzed in details. The influence of the shear deformations, rotary inertia effects and the gain factors on dynamic stability regions is shown.
