Analytical solution for nonlocal coupled thermoelasticity analysis in a heat-affected MEMS/NEMS beam resonator based on Green–Naghdi theory

In this article, an analytical solution is presented for coupled thermoelasticity analysis (with energy dissipation) in a micro/nano beam resonator, considering small scale effects on the transient behaviors of fields’ variables. The Green–Naghdi (GN) theory of generalized coupled thermoelasticity and nonlocal Rayleigh beam theory (NRBT) are employed to derive the temperature and lateral deflection in the closed forms. The presented analytical solution is based on Laplace transform. To find the dynamic and transient behaviors of fields’ variables in time domain, an inversion Laplace technique is utilized, which is called Talbot method. The effects of some parameters such as small scale parameter and dimensions of the beam on the dynamic behaviors of temperature and lateral deflections are discussed in details. The propagation of wave fronts in both temperature and lateral deflection domains are obtained and graphically illustrated at various time instants.     

Free vibration,buckling and dynamic stability of bi-directional FG microbeam with a variable length scale parameter embedded in elastic medium

In this paper, size dependent free vibration, buckling and dynamic stability of bi-directional functionally graded (BDFG) microbeam embedded in elastic medium are investigated. The material properties vary along both thickness and axial directions. In particular, the material length scale parameter of microbeam is considered as a function of spatial coordinates and varies with the material gradient parameters. The system of differential equations with variable coefficients governing the motion of BDFG microbeam is derived employing Hamilton’s principle, the modified couple stress theory and third-order shear deformation beam theory. The differential quadrature method (DQM) is utilized to solve the static and dynamic problem. Three different models evaluating the material length scale parameter of BDFG microbeam are presented for comparison. Parametric studies are carried out to show the influence of gradient parameters, size effect, stiffness of elastic medium on the free vibration, buckling and dynamic stability characteristic of BDFG microbeam. Results show that the variation of material length scale parameter should be considered in the analysis of BDFG microbeam.

Application of nonlocal continuum theory to the primary resonance analysis of an axially loaded nano beam under time delay control

The paper is concerned with the nonlinear primary resonance of nano beams with axial load under the velocity time delay control. In order to have a deep insight into the system, the amplitude frequency response curve of the system is firstly obtained using the multiple scales method. The effects of the control gains and time delays on the system stability are then investigated. The analyses illustrated that both delay feedback gain coefficient and velocity time delay control can mitigate the system vibrations properties (e.g. hardening nonlinearity, resonance amplitude and the corresponding width) to an excellent level. The nonlinear primary resonance of nano beam is also discussed with the influences of small scale effect, axial initial load, wave number, Winkler foundation modulus and the ratio of the length to the diameter. This paper establishes the relationship between the time delay controller and vibration properties of a nano beam system which provides the guidance for applying time delayed active control for different types of nano devices in engineering practices.     

Well-posedness and exponential stability of a thermoelastic Joint–Leg–Beam system with Robin boundary conditions

An important class of proposed large space structures features a triangular truss backbone. In this paper we study thermomechanical behavior of a truss component; namely, a triangular frame consisting of two thin-walled circular beams connected through a joint. Transverse and axial mechanical motions of the beams are coupled though a mechanical joint. The nature of the external solar load suggests a decomposition of the temperature fields in the beams leading to two heat equations for each beam. One of these fields models the circumferential average temperature and is coupled to axial motions of the beam, while the second field accounts for a temperature gradient across the beam and is coupled to beam bending. The resulting system of partial and ordinary differential equations formally describes the coupled thermomechanical behavior of the joint–beam system. The main work is in developing an appropriate state-space form and then using semigroup theory to establish well-posedness and exponential stability.     

Response of multiwall carbon nanotubes to impact loading

Dynamic behaviors of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with finite length are investigated using an analytical method. Multiple elastic shells and linearized model of van der Waals forces are used for development a comprehensive continuum dynamic model of MWCNTs. By applying Laplace transform, analytical solution for thin and thick MWCNTs under dynamic loading are obtained. Dynamic responses of 3-, 9-, and 11-layer MWCNTs under external pressure shock are examined and accuracy of results are verified by comparison the results with those obtained by numerical methods. Both displacement and stress analysis are performed for layers of MWCNTs and frequencies of oscillations are obtained. Also, effects of axial wave created by external pressure shock are studied in MWCNTs with two-dimensional analyses. Dynamic responses of MWCNTs with initial axial displacement are also proposed and the propagation of the axial wave through the length of tubes is illustrated. Furthermore, wave propagation velocity is found by analysis of time history diagram.

Microstructure inducted stress concentrations in CVI-CFC materials

Carbon/carbon materials produced by chemical vapour infiltration consist of carbon fibers embedded in an anisotropic matrix of pyrocarbon. In this study we propose: 1) an approach for hierarchical homogenization of material parameters; 2) an approach for prediction of the stress concentrations in this material. The model estimates material properties on two scales: nano and micro scale. The microstructural morphology of CFC-material on the nano scale can be represented as distribution of mono crystals of pyrographite. For modeling the response at this scale we utilize the Eshelbi's theory for continuously distributed inclusions. The orientations distribution functions of inclusions (mono crystals) are used for calculation of the homogenized elasticity tensor of pyrographite. The numerical calculations of the stress fields in the samples characterized by different types of pyrocarbon coatings provides us the information about the (failure) regions with maximal (critical) values of stress. The obtained results demonstrate a good coincidence with experimentally identified failure regions. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

An analytical dynamic model for single-cracked beams including bending,axial stiffness,rotational inertia,shear deformation and coupling effects

This paper develops an analytical dynamic model for cracked beams including bending, axial stiffness, rotational inertia, shear deformation and the coupling of the last two effects. The damage is modelled using a rotational spring that simulates the crack based on fracture mechanics theory. The developed model is used to predict variations on natural frequencies for several crack sites and damage magnitude along the beam. The importance of this work lies in the development of an analytical model that has no approximation due to discretization of the displacement field. This initial theoretical approach describes the expected behaviour for changes in the natural frequencies for simply-supported and clamped-free beams with the precision that only analytical methods allow. The results provide a useful benchmark to compare with approximate numerical methods that can be used to model and analyse the problem. The model showed similar results for long span beams, but the inclusion of rotational inertia and shear deformation effects rendered improvements in the dynamic behaviour mainly in the case of slender and short span beams when compared with the simplified Euler–Bernoulli model.     

Well-posedness,stability and numerical results for the thermoelastic behavior of a coupled joint-beam PDE-ODE system modeling the transverse motions of the antennas of a space structure

A mathematical model for both axial and transverse motions of two beams with cylindrical cross-sections coupled through a joint is presented and analyzed. The motivation for this problem comes from the need to accurately model damping and joint dynamics for the next generation of inflatable/rigidizable space structures. Thermo-elastic damping is included in the two beams and the motions are coupled through a joint which includes an internal moment. Thermal response in each beam is modeled by two temperature fields. The first field describes the circumferentially averaged temperature along the beam, and is linked to the axial deformation of the beam. The second describes the circumferential variation and is coupled to transverse bending. The resulting equations of motion consist of four, second-order in time, partial differential equations, four, first-order in time, partial differential equations, four second order ordinary differential equations, and certain compatibility boundary conditions. The system is written as an abstract differential equation in an appropriate Hilbert space, consisting of function spaces describing the distributed beam deflections and temperature fields, and a finite-dimensional space that projects important features at the joint boundary. Semigroup theory is used to prove that the system is well-posed, and that with positive damping parameters the resulting semigroup is exponentially stable. Steady states are characterized and several numerical approximation results are presented. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

A problem of generalized magneto-thermoelastic thin slim strip subjected to a moving heat source

The generalized thermoelastic theory with thermal relaxation, in the context of Lord and Shulman theory, is used to investigate the magneto-thermoelastic problem of a thin slim strip placed in a magnetic field and subjected to a moving plane of heat source. The generalized magneto-thermoelastic coupled governing equations are formulated. By means of the Laplace transform and numerical Laplace inversion, the governing equations are solved. Numerical calculations for the considered variables are performed and the obtained results are presented graphically. The effects of moving heat source speed and applied magnetic field on temperature, stress and displacement are studied. It is found from the graphs that the temperature, thermally induced displacement and stress in the strip are found to decrease at large heat source speed, and the magnetic field significantly influences the variations of non-dimensional displacement and stress. However, it has no effect on the non-dimensional temperature.     

A nonlocal higher-order model including thickness stretching effect for bending and buckling of curved nanobeams

An analytical approach for static bending and buckling analyses of curved nanobeams using the differential constitutive law, consequent to Eringen’s strain-driven integral model coupled with a higher-order shear deformation accounting for through thickness stretching is presented. The formulation is general in the sense that it can be deduced to examine the influence of different structural theories, for static and dynamic analyses of curved nanobeams. The governing equations derived using Hamiltons principle are solved in conjunction with Naviers solutions. The formulation is validated considering problems for which solutions are available. A comparative study is made here by various theories obtained through the formulation. The effects various structural parameters such as thickness ratio, beam length, rise of the curved beam, and nonlocal scale parameter are brought out on bending and stability characteristics of curved nanobeams.     

Influence of homogenization models on size-dependent nonlinear bending and postbuckling of bi-directional functionally graded micro/nano-beams

In this work, different homogenization schemes are employed to analyze both size-dependent postbuckling and nonlinear bending behavior of micro/nano-beams, made of a bi-directional functionally graded material (BDFGM), under external axial compression and distributed load. To such different homogenization models, including Reuss, Voigt, Mori-Tanaka, and Hashin–Shtrikman bounds schemes, together with nonlocal strain gradient elasticity theory are adopted within the framework of refined exponential shear deformation beam theory, to develop a comprehensive size-dependent BDFGM beam model. Deviation of associated physical neutral plane, from mid-plane counterpart, is also considered. Nonlocal strain gradient load-deflection responses of BDFGM micro/nano-beam are obtained by numerical solution methodology for both nonlinear bending and postbuckling behaviors corresponding to different values of the lateral and longitudinal material property indices and various small scale parameters. We observed that by decreasing the values of material property gradient indices, associated with BDFGM, difference between the estimations of various homogenization schemes is raised. We also indicated that increasing maximum deflection, decreasing the significance of nonlocal size effect on the bending strength of BDFGM micro/nano-beams, whereas strain gradient size effect becomes more important. In addition, we found that at lower material property gradient indices, bending strength reduction in BDFGM micro/nano-beams, causes by the axial gradient property is higher than lateral gradient property. At higher values of these indices, however, the trend is opposite.     

Whirl characteristics of a flexible liquid-filled rotor under thermal shock

In this paper, the whirl characteristics of a flexible liquid-filled rotor subjected to thermal shock are investigated. On the basis of the Hamilton principle, the whirl frequency equation of the rotor system is derived. Using Laplace transform, the analytical model of the temperature field of the rotor is obtained. The validity of the developed temperature model is demonstrated by comparing with the finite element results. Then, the thermal axial force exerted on the rotor is calculated and the influence factors are studied. The system stability is analyzed in terms of the whirl frequency equation. The reasonability of the predict model for system stability is verified, and a good agreement can be seen in the comparison of the obtained results based on the presented analytical method with published data. Finally, the critical spinning speed of the rotor system is analyzed, and the effects of some main parameters on system critical speed are investigated.     

Nonlocal effect on axially compressed buckling of triple-walled carbon nanotubes under temperature field

This paper studies the small scale effect on the buckling behaviors of triple-walled carbon nanotubes (TWCNTs) with the initial axial stress under the temperature field. The TWCNTs are modeled as three elastic shells coupled together through vdW interaction between different layers. Buckling governing equations of CNTs are firstly formulated on the basis of nonlocal elastic theory and the small scale effect on CNTs buckling results with the change of temperature are then achieved. The results show that the critical buckling load is dependent on the temperature, scale parameter and wavenumber. Some conclusions are drawn that small scale effect will arise gradually with the increases of wavenumber, and the temperature can influence the ratio between the nonlocal buckling load and the corresponding local load. Furthermore, with or without effects of nonlocal considered, the same results is obtained that the axial buckling load increases as the value of temperature increases at low and room temperature condition, while at high temperature condition the axial buckling load decreases as the value of temperature increases.     

Deflection analysis of micro-scale microstretch thermoelastic beam resonators under harmonic loading

In this paper, the flexural vibrations of homogeneous, isotropic, generalized micropolar microstretch thermoelastic thin Euler–Bernoulli beam resonators, due to time harmonic load have been investigated. The axial ends of the beam are assumed to be at either clamped-clamped, simply supported-simply supported or clamped-free conditions. The governing equations have been solved analytically by using Laplace transforms technique twice with respect to time and space variables respectively. The inversion of Laplace transform in time domain has been performed by using the calculus of residues to obtain deflection. The numerical simulation has been carried out with the help of MATLAB software for magnesium like material. The graphical representations and observations have been discussed for deflection of beam under various boundary conditions and for distinct considered values of time and space as well.
