In this study, analytical relations for evaluating the exact solution of natural fre- quency and mode shape of beams with embedded shape memory alloy （SMA） wires are presented. Beams are modeled according to Euler-Bernoulli, Timoshenko and third order beam （Reddy） the- ories. A relation is obtained for determining the effect of axial load generated by the recovery action of pre-strained SMA wires. By defining some dimensionless quantities~ the effect of different me- chanical properties on the frequencies and mode shapes of the system are carefully examined. The effect of axial load generated by SMA wires with buckling load and frequency jump is accurately studied.     

Effects of thermo-magneto-electro nonlinearity characteristics on the stability of functionally graded piezoelectric beam

Due to the increasing interests in using functionally graded piezoelectric materials(FGPMs) in the design of advanced micro-electro-mechanical systems, it is important to understand the stability behaviors of the FGPM beams. In this study, considering the effects of geometrical nonlinearity, temperature, and electricity in the constitutive relations and the effect of the magnetic field on the FGPM beam, the Euler-Bernoulli beam model is adopted, and the nonlinear governing equation of motion is derived via Hamilton's principle. A perturbation method, which can decompose the deflection into static and dynamic components, is utilized to linearize the nonlinear governing equation. Then,a dynamic stability analysis is carried out, and the approximate analytical solutions for the nonlinear frequency and boundary frequencies of the unstable region are obtained.Numerical examples are performed to verify the present analysis. The effects of the static deflection, the static load factor, the temperature change, and the magnetic field flux on the stability behaviors of the FGPM beam are discussed. From the proposed analytical solutions and numerical results, one can easily and clearly find the effects of various controlled parameters, such as geometric and physical properties of the system, on the mechanical behaviors of structures, and the conclusions are very important and useful for the design of micro-devices.     

Exact dynamic solutions to piezoelectric smart beams including peel stresses Part II: Numerical results,comparison and approximate solution

This work presents numerical results for the exact dynamic solution of piezoelectric (PZT) smart beams including peel stresses, which was developed in Part I. Numerical results are presented in details for frequency spectra, natural frequencies, normal mode shapes, harmonic responses of the shear and peel stresses, and sensing electric charges for a cantilever beam with a bonded PZT patch to the clamped end. The exact dynamic solution can provide useful data for benchmarking other methods. The numerical results of the present model including peel stresses (PSM) are also compared with those obtained using the shear lag beam model and the shear lag rod model. On the basis of the equivalent forces derived in the static analysis, simple approximate dynamic solutions are obtained and compared with the exact solutions, and then the application and limitation of the simple approximate solutions are investigated. By comparing numerical results predicted by the present PSM model with the shear lag models and the approximate solutions based on the static equivalent forces, effects of the dynamic shear and peel stresses on natural frequencies and dynamic responses of the smart structures are examined.     

Free vibration characteristics of sectioned unidirectional/bidirectional functionally graded material cantilever beams based on finite element analysis

Advancements in manufacturing technology, including the rapid development of additive manufacturing (AM), allow the fabrication of complex functionally graded material (FGM) sectioned beams. Portions of these beams may be made from different materials with possibly different gradients of material properties. The present work proposes models to investigate the free vibration of FGM sectioned beams based on onedimensional (1D) finite element analysis. For this purpose, a sample beam is divided into discrete elements, and the total energy stored in each element during vibration is computed by considering either the Timoshenko or Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. Then, Hamilton's principle is used to derive the equations of motion for the beam. The effects of material properties and dimensions of FGM sections on the beam's natural frequencies and their corresponding mode shapes are then investigated based on a dynamic Timoshenko model (TM). The presented model is validated by comparison with three-dimensional (3D) finite element simulations of the first three mode shapes of the beam.     

Initial value method for free vibration of axially loaded functionally graded Timoshenko beams with nonuniform cross section

Free vibration of nonuniform axially functionally graded Timoshenko beams subjected to combined axially tensile or compressive loading is studied. An emphasis is placed on the effect of tip and distributed axial loads on the natural frequencies and mode shapes for an inhomogeneous cantilever beam including material inhomogeneity and geometric non-uniform cross section. The initial value method is developed to determine the natural frequencies. The method’s effectiveness is verified by comparing our results with previous ones for special cases. Natural frequencies of standing/hanging Timoshenko beams are calculated for four different cross sections. The influences of shear rigidity, taper ratio, gradient index, tip force, and axially distributed loading on the natural frequencies of clamped-free beams are discussed. Material inhomogeneity and geometric non-uniform cross-section strongly affect higher-order vibration frequencies and mode shapes.     

Free vibration of non-uniform axially functionally graded beams using the asymptotic development method

The asymptotic development method is applied to analyze the free vibration of non-uniform axially functionally graded(AFG) beams, of which the governing equations are differential equations with variable coefficients. By decomposing the variable flexural stiffness and mass per unit length into reference invariant and variant parts, the perturbation theory is introduced to obtain an approximate analytical formula of the natural frequencies of the non-uniform AFG beams with different boundary conditions.Furthermore, assuming polynomial distributions of Young's modulus and the mass density, the numerical results of the AFG beams with various taper ratios are obtained and compared with the published literature results. The discussion results illustrate that the proposed method yields an effective estimate of the first three order natural frequencies for the AFG tapered beams. However, the errors increase with the increase in the mode orders especially for the cases with variable heights. In brief, the asymptotic development method is verified to be simple and efficient to analytically study the free vibration of non-uniform AFG beams, and it could be used to analyze any tapered beams with an arbitrary varying cross width.

Dynamic stiffness method for free vibration of an axially moving beam with generalized boundary conditions

Axially moving beams are often discussed with several classic boundary conditions, such as simply-supported ends, fixed ends, and free ends. Here, axially moving beams with generalized boundary conditions are discussed for the first time. The beam is supported by torsional springs and vertical springs at both ends. By modifying the stiffness of the springs, generalized boundaries can replace those classical boundaries.Dynamic stiffness matrices are, respectively, established for axially moving Timoshenko beams and Euler-Bernoulli(EB) beams with generalized boundaries. In order to verify the applicability of the EB model, the natural frequencies of the axially moving Timoshenko beam and EB beam are compared. Furthermore, the effects of constrained spring stiffness on the vibration frequencies of the axially moving beam are studied. Interestingly, it can be found that the critical speed of the axially moving beam does not change with the vertical spring stiffness. In addition, both the moving speed and elastic boundaries make the Timoshenko beam theory more needed. The validity of the dynamic stiffness method is demonstrated by using numerical simulation.

Waveform fractal dimension for mode shape-based damage identification of beam-type structures

Mode shape-based structural damage identification has been a research focus during the last couple of decades. Most of the existing methods need a numerical or measured baseline mode shape serving as a reference to identify damage, and this requirement extremely limits the practicability of the methods. Recently, waveform fractal dimension such as Katz’s waveform fractal dimension (KWD) has been explored and applied to mode shape for crack identification without a baseline requirement. In this study, different from the popular KWD, an approximate waveform capacity dimension (AWCD) is formulated first, from which an AWCD-based modal abnormality algorithm (AWCD-MAA) is systematically established. Then, the basic characteristics of AWCD-MAA on abnormality detection of mode shapes, e.g., crack localization, crack quantification, noise immunity, etc., are investigated based on an analytical crack model of cantilever beams using linear elastic fracture mechanics. In particular, from the perspective of isomorphism, a mathematical solution on the use of applying waveform fractal dimension to higher mode shapes for crack identification is originally proposed, from which the inherent deficiency of waveform fractal dimension to identify crack when implemented to higher mode shapes is overcome. The applicability and effectiveness of the AWCD-MAA is validated by an experimental program on damage identification of a cracked composite cantilever beam using smart piezoelectric sensors/actuators (i.e., Piezoelectric lead–zirconate–titanate (PZT) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)). The proposed AWCD-MAA provides a novel, viable method for crack identification of beam-type structures without baseline requirement, and it largely expands the scope of fractal in structural health monitoring applications.

应变能中耦合项对旋转悬臂梁振动频率的影响

大范围运动悬臂梁的动力学建模问题对动力学特性分析及控制系统设计具有极其重要的作用. 当前研究多采用一次近似模型,其忽略了由轴向和横向变形所产生的应变能中的耦合项,然而这些项对动力学特性会产生影响. 通过讨论应变能的选取方式,计入了应变能中的耦合项;利用哈密尔顿原理建立结构的耦合振动模型;再借助瑞利—里兹法,以无大范围运动时的振型函数作为基本解组,得到了结构振动广义特征方程并求解. 通过数值算例对比分析,指出考虑应变能耦合项得到的频率与不考虑应变能耦合项得到的频率存在明显差别.      

Shear deformable bending solutions for nonuniform beams and plates with elastic end restraints from classical solutions

Summary The relationships of bending solutions between Timoshenko beams and Euler-Bernoulli beams are derived for uniform and non-uniform beams with elastic rotationally restrained ends. Extensions of these relationships for the cylindrical bending of Mindlin and Kirchhoff plates and for the bending of symmetrically laminated beams are also discussed. The new set of general relationships is useful because the more complex Timoshenko beam and Mindlin plate solutions may be readily obtained from their simpler Euler-Bernoulli beam and Kirchhoff plate solutions respectively, without much tedious mathematics.

Asymptotic frequencies of various damped nonlocal beams and plates

A striking difference between the conventional local and nonlocal dynamical systems is that the later possess finite asymptotic frequencies. The asymptotic frequencies of four kinds of nonlocal viscoelastic damped structures are derived, including an Euler–Bernoulli beam with rotary inertia, a Timoshenko beam, a Kirchhoff plate with rotary inertia and a Mindlin plate. For these undamped and damped nonlocal beam and plate models, the analytical expressions for the asymptotic frequencies, also called the maximum or escape frequencies, are obtained. For the damped nonlocal beams or plates, the asymptotic critical damping factors are also obtained. These quantities are independent of the boundary conditions and hence simply supported boundary conditions are used. Taking a carbon nanotube as a numerical example and using the Euler–Bernoulli beam model, the natural frequencies of the carbon nanotubes with typical boundary conditions are computed and the asymptotic characteristics of natural frequencies are shown.     

Exact dynamic solutions to piezoelectric smart beams including peel stresses I: Theory and application

This work presents exact dynamic solutions to piezoelectric (PZT) smart beams including peel stresses. The governing equations of partial differential forms are firstly derived for a PZT smart beam made of the identical adherends, and then general solutions of the governing equations are studied. The analytical solutions are applied to a cantilever beam with a partially bonded PZT patch to the fixed end. For the given boundary conditions, exact solutions of the steady state motions are obtained. Based on the exact solutions, frequency spectra, natural frequencies, normal mode shapes, harmonic responses of the shear and peel stresses are discussed for the PZT actuator. The details of the numerical results and sensing electric charges will be presented in Part II of this work. The exact dynamic solutions can be directly applied to a PZT bimorph bender. To compare with the classic shear lag model whose numerical demonstrations will be given in Part II, the related equations are also derived for the shear lag rod model and shear lag beam model.
