In this study, free vibration analysis of a rotating, double-tapered Timoshenko beam that undergoes flapwise bending vibration is performed. At the beginning of the study, the kinetic- and potential energy expressions of this beam model are derived using several explanatory tables and figures. In the following section, Hamilton’s principle is applied to the derived energy expressions to obtain the governing differential equations of motion and the boundary conditions. The parameters for the hub radius, rotational speed, shear deformation, slenderness ratio, and taper ratios are incorporated into the equations of motion. In the solution, an efficient mathematical technique, called the differential transform method (DTM), is used to solve the governing differential equations of motion. Using the computer package Mathematica the effects of the incorporated parameters on the natural frequencies are investigated and the results are tabulated in several tables and graphics.     

Free flapewise vibration analysis of rotating double-tapered Timoshenko beams

Free vibration analysis of a rotating double-tapered Timoshenko beam undergoing flapwise transverse vibration is presented. Using an assumed mode method, the governing equations of motion are derived from the kinetic and potential energy expressions which are derived from a set of hybrid deformation variables. These equations of motion are then transformed into dimensionless forms using a set of dimensionless parameters, such as the hub radius ratio, the dimensionless angular speed ratio, the slenderness ratio, and the height and width taper ratios, etc. The natural frequencies and mode shapes are then determined from these dimensionless equations of motion. The effects of the dimensionless parameters on the natural frequencies and modal characteristics of a rotating double-tapered Timoshenko beam are numerically studied through numerical examples. The tuned angular speed of the rotating double-tapered Timoshenko beam is then investigated.     

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.

Transverse free vibration of non uniform rotating Timoshenko beams with elastically clamped boundary conditions

In the present paper the Differential Quadrature Method, DQM, and the domain decomposition are used to carry out the free transverse vibration analysis of non-uniform multi-span rotating Timoshenko beams with perfect and not perfect boundary conditions. The cross section could vary in a continuous or discontinuous fashion along the beam length. The material of the beam could be different in each beam span. The influence of elastically clamped boundary conditions at hub end are studied and discussed. The effect of an arbitrary hub radius is considered. The governing differential equations of motion for rotating Timoshenko beams come from the derivation of Hamilton’s principle. The first six natural frequencies of vibration are obtained for many particular situations and for some of them the mode shapes are also available. The examples of applications of the method indicated its effectiveness. The results for particular cases are in excellent agreement with published results and results obtained by means of the finite element method.     

Solution of free vibration equations of semi-rigid connected Reddy–Bickford beams resting on elastic soil using the differential transform method

The literature regarding the free vibration analysis of Bernoulli–Euler and Timoshenko beams under various supporting conditions is plenty, but the free vibration analysis of Reddy–Bickford beams with variable cross-section on elastic soil with/without axial force effect using the Differential Transform Method (DTM) has not been investigated by any of the studies in open literature so far. In this study, the free vibration analysis of axially loaded and semi-rigid connected Reddy–Bickford beam with variable cross-section on elastic soil is carried out by using DTM. The model has six degrees of freedom at the two ends, one transverse displacement and two rotations, and the end forces are a shear force and two end moments in this study. The governing differential equations of motion of the rectangular beam in free vibration are derived using Hamilton’s principle and considering rotatory inertia. Parameters for the relative stiffness, stiffness ratio and nondimensionalized multiplication factor for the axial compressive force are incorporated into the equations of motion in order to investigate their effects on the natural frequencies. At first, the terms are found directly from the analytical solutions of the differential equations that describe the deformations of the cross-section according to the high-order theory. After the analytical solution, an efficient and easy mathematical technique called DTM is used to solve the governing differential equations of the motion. The calculated natural frequencies of semi-rigid connected Reddy–Bickford beam with variable cross-section on elastic soil using DTM are tabulated in several tables and figures and are compared with the results of the analytical solution where a very good agreement is observed.     

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.     

Analytical test functions for free vibration analysis of rotating non-homogeneous Timoshenko beams

In this paper, the governing equations for free vibration of a non-homogeneous rotating Timoshenko beam, having uniform cross-section, is studied using an inverse problem approach, for both cantilever and pinned-free boundary conditions. The bending displacement and the rotation due to bending are assumed to be simple polynomials which satisfy all four boundary conditions. It is found that for certain polynomial variations of the material mass density, elastic modulus and shear modulus, along the length of the beam, the assumed polynomials serve as simple closed form solutions to the coupled second order governing differential equations with variable coefficients. It is found that there are an infinite number of analytical polynomial functions possible for material mass density, shear modulus and elastic modulus distributions, which share the same frequency and mode shape for a particular mode. The derived results are intended to serve as benchmark solutions for testing approximate or numerical methods used for the vibration analysis of rotating non-homogeneous Timoshenko beams.     

A micro scale Timoshenko beam model based on strain gradient elasticity theory

A micro scale Timoshenko beam model is developed based on strain gradient elasticity theory. Governing equations, initial conditions and boundary conditions are derived simultaneously by using Hamilton's principle. The new model incorporated with Poisson effect contains three material length scale parameters and can consequently capture the size effect. This model can degenerate into the modified couple stress Timoshenko beam model or even the classical Timoshenko beam model if two or all material length scale parameters are taken to be zero respectively. In addition, the newly developed model recovers the micro scale Bernoulli–Euler beam model when shear deformation is ignored. To illustrate the new model, the static bending and free vibration problems of a simply supported micro scale Timoshenko beam are solved respectively. Numerical results reveal that the differences in the deflection, rotation and natural frequency predicted by the present model and the other two reduced Timoshenko models are large as the beam thickness is comparable to the material length scale parameter. These differences, however, are decreasing or even diminishing with the increase of the beam thickness. In addition, Poisson effect on the beam deflection, rotation and natural frequency possesses an interesting “extreme point” phenomenon, which is quite different from that predicted by the classical Timoshenko beam model.

Non-linear vibration of variable speed rotating viscoelastic beams

Non-linear vibration of a variable speed rotating beam is analyzed in this paper. The coupled longitudinal and bending vibration of a beam is studied and the governing equations of motion, using Hamilton’s principle, are derived. The solutions of the non-linear partial differential equations of motion are discretized to the time and position functions using the Galerkin method. The multiple scales method is then utilized to obtain the first-order approximate solution. The exact first-order solution is determined for both the stationary and non-stationary rotating speeds. A very close agreement is achieved between the simulation results obtained by the numerical integration method and the first-order exact solution one. The parameter sensitivity study is carried out and the effect of different parameters including the hub radius, structural damping, acceleration, and the deceleration rates on the vibration amplitude is investigated.     

Application of nonlocal beam models for carbon nanotubes

Investigations of wave and vibration properties of single- or multi-walled carbon nanotubes based on nonlocal beam models have been reported recently. However, there are numerous inconsistencies in the handling of the governing equations, applied forces, and boundary conditions based on some of the reported nonlocal beam models. In this paper, the consistent equations of motion for the nonlocal Euler and Timoshenko beam models are provided, and some issues on the nonlocal beam theories are discussed. The models are then applied to the studies of wave properties of single- and double-walled nanotubes. The wave and vibration properties of the nanotubes based on the presented nonlocal beam equations are studied, and scale effects are discussed.     

Effects of electrorheological fluid core and functionally graded layers on the vibration behavior of a rotating composite beam

Vibration properties of a rotating Functionally Graded Electro-Rheological (FGER) beam are investigated. In the composition of three layered beam, an electrorheological fluid layer is embedded between two functionally graded material layers. Classical beam theory is applied in the analysis of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) layers. Using Hamilton??s principle and finite element method (FEM), equations of motion of the FGER beam are derived. The effects of various parameters such as FGM volume fraction index, rotating speed, thickness of the viscoelastic core and electric field on the resonant frequencies and modal loss factors are studied. The results quantify the significant effect of the FGM distribution and the ER core on the vibration suppression of the rotating composite beam.     

Nonlinear vibration of a rotating cantilever beam in a surrounding magnetic field

The nonlinear vibrations of a rotating cantilever beam made of magnetoelastic materials surrounded by a uniform magnetic field are investigated. The kinetic energy, potential energy and work done by the electromagnetic force are obtained. A nonlinear dynamic model, based on the Hamilton principle, which includes the stretching vibration and bending vibration is presented. The Galerkin method is adopted to discretize the dynamic equations. The proposed method is validated by comparison with the literature. The nonlinear behaviors of the responses are studied. Then simulations for different kinds of magnetic field are conducted. The effects of magnetic field parameters, including the amplitude, plane angle, spatial angle and time-varying frequency, on the dynamic behaviors of the stretching motion and bending motion are investigated in detail. The results illustrate that the interaction effects between the rotating cantilever beam and the magnetic field will increase the vibration amplitude and fluctuation of the beam. In particular, we found that: collinear magnetic fields with equal amplitude lead to the same dynamic responses; the amplitude of magnetic field intensity increases the dynamic responses remarkably; the response amplitude changes nonlinearly with the plane angle and spatial angle of the magnetic field; and the increase of time-varying frequency enhances dynamic responses of the rotating cantilever beam.     

Equations of motion of rotating composite beam with a nonconstant rotation speed and an arbitrary preset angle

In the presented paper the equations of motion of a rotating composite Timoshenko beam are derived by utilising the Hamilton principle. The non-classical effects like material anisotropy, transverse shear and both primary and secondary cross-section warpings are taken into account in the analysis. As an extension of the other papers known to the authors a nonconstant rotating speed and an arbitrary beam’s preset (pitch) angle are considered. It is shown that the resulting general equations of motion are coupled together and form a nonlinear system of PDEs. Two cases of an open and closed box-beam cross-section made of symmetric laminate are analysed in details. It is shown that considering different pitch angles there is a strong effect in coupling of flapwise bending with chordwise bending motions due to a centrifugal force. Moreover, a consequence of terms related to nonconstant rotating speed is presented. Therefore it is shown that both the variable rotating speed and nonzero pitch angle have significant impact on systems dynamics and need to be considered in modelling of rotating beams.

Flexural vibrations of double tapered atomic force microscope cantilevers studied by considering the contact position and using the differential quadrature method

The resonant frequency of flexural vibrations for a double tapered atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever has been investigated by using the Timoshenko beam theory. In this paper, the effects of various parameters on the dimensionless frequency of vibrations of the AFM cantilever have been studied. The differential quadrature method (DQM) is employed to solve the nonlinear differential equations of motion. The results show that the resonant frequency decreases when the Timoshenko beam parameter or the cantilever thickness increases, and high-order modes are more sensitive to it. The first frequency is sensitive only in the lower range of contact stiffness, but the higher-order modes are sensitive to the contact stiffness in a larger range. Increasing the tip height increases the sensitivity of the vibrational modes in a limited range of normal contact stiffness. Furthermore, with increasing the breadth taper ratio, the frequency increases. The DQM results are compared with the exact solution for a rectangular AFM cantilever.     

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.
