Flapwise bending vibration analysis of a rotating double-tapered Timoshenko beam

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.     

Elastic waves in a Timoshenko beam with boundary damping

In this paper we consider a Timoshenko beam with a damping moment applied to one of the endpoints. The elastic waves that develop from two sets of localised initial disturbances in the beam, are simulated and it is shown that properties of the spectrum adequately explain the features of the waves. We also show, using energy calculations, that the boundary moment is significantly more effective in reducing vibrations in the beam in one of the cases under consideration. The so-called second spectrum of the Timoshenko beam plays a prominent part in explaining this phenomenon.

Timoshenko beam theory: A perspective based on the wave-mechanics approach

This paper reviews Timoshenko beam theory from the point of view of wave mechanics. Vibration of beam structures can be studied in terms of either normal modes or propagating waves. The latter wave approach has two distinct features: first, it gives rise to clear physical understanding of beam vibration; second, it leads to exact methods for vibration analysis of beam structures, especially in the mid-frequency range. In this paper, the work on wave solutions of an infinite Timoshenko beam is first discussed. The work on the splitting effect of spinning on wave solutions is also reviewed. The wave is treated as constitutive components of standing waves (i.e. normal modes), and a discussion on how the wave components formulate various standing waves is presented. Finally, several numerical examples are presented to illustrate the pros and cons of using different wave approaches to tackle vibration analysis of finite-length Timoshenko beams.     

Vibration analysis of a stepped laminated composite Timoshenko beam

The goal of this study is to investigate the vibration characteristics of a stepped laminated composite Timoshenko beam. Based on the first order shear deformation theory, flexural rigidity and transverse shearing rigidity of a laminated beam are determined. In order to account for the effect of shear deformation and rotary inertia of the stepped beam, Timoshenko beam theory is then used to deduce the frequency function. Graphs of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a T300/970 laminated stepped beam are given, in order to illustrate the influence of step location parameter exerts on the dynamic behavior of the beam.

Nonlinear flexural waves and chaos behavior in finite-deflection Timoshenko beam

Based on the Timoshenko beam theory, the finite-deflection and the axial inertia are taken into account, and the nonlinear partial differential equations for flexural waves in a beam are derived. Using the traveling wave method and integration skills, the nonlinear partial differential equations can be converted into an ordinary differential equation. The qualitative analysis indicates that the corresponding dynamic system has a heteroclinic orbit under a certain condition. An exact periodic solution of the nonlinear wave equation is obtained using the Jacobi elliptic function expansion. When the modulus of the Jacobi elliptic function tends to one in the degenerate case, a shock wave solution is given. The small perturbations are further introduced, arising from the damping and the external load to an original Hamilton system, and the threshold condition of the existence of the transverse heteroclinic point is obtained using Melnikov＇s method. It is shown that the perturbed system has a chaotic property under the Smale horseshoe transform.     

A microstructure-dependent Timoshenko beam model based on a modified couple stress theory

A microstructure-dependent Timoshenko beam model is developed using a variational formulation. It is based on a modified couple stress theory and Hamilton's principle. The new model contains a material length scale parameter and can capture the size effect, unlike the classical Timoshenko beam theory. Moreover, both bending and axial deformations are considered, and the Poisson effect is incorporated in the current model, which differ from existing Timoshenko beam models. The newly developed non-classical beam model recovers the classical Timoshenko beam model when the material length scale parameter and Poisson's ratio are both set to be zero. In addition, the current Timoshenko beam model reduces to a microstructure-dependent Bernoulli-Euler beam model when the normality assumption is reinstated, which also incorporates the Poisson effect and can be further reduced to the classical Bernoulli-Euler beam model. To illustrate the new Timoshenko beam model, the static bending and free vibration problems of a simply supported beam are solved by directly applying the formulas derived. The numerical results for the static bending problem reveal that both the deflection and rotation of the simply supported beam predicted by the new model are smaller than those predicted by the classical Timoshenko beam model. Also, the differences in both the deflection and rotation predicted by the two models are very large when the beam thickness is small, but they are diminishing with the increase of the beam thickness. Similar trends are observed for the free vibration problem, where it is shown that the natural frequency predicted by the new model is higher than that by the classical model, with the difference between them being significantly large only for very thin beams. These predicted trends of the size effect in beam bending at the micron scale agree with those observed experimentally. Finally, the Poisson effect on the beam deflection, rotation and natural frequency is found to be significant, which is especially true when the classical Timoshenko beam model is used. This indicates that the assumption of Poisson's effect being negligible, which is commonly used in existing beam theories, is inadequate and should be individually verified or simply abandoned in order to obtain more accurate and reliable results.     

Dynamic response to a moving load of a Timoshenko beam resting on a nonlinear viscoelastic foundation

The present paper investigates the dynamic response of finite Timoshenko beams resting on a sixparameter foundation subjected to a moving load. It is for the first time that the Galerkin method and its convergence are studied for the response of a Timoshenko beam supported by a nonlinear foundation. The nonlinear Pasternak foundation is assumed to be cubic. Therefore, the efects of the shear deformable beams and the shear deformation of foundations are considered at the same time. The Galerkin method is utilized for discretizing the nonlinear partial differential governing equations of the forced vibration. The dynamic responses of Timoshenko beams are determined via the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. Moreover, the efects of diferent truncation terms on the dynamic responses of a Timoshenko beam resting on a complex foundation are discussed. The numerical investigations shows that the dynamic response of Timoshenko beams supported by elastic foundations needs super high-order modes. Furthermore, the system parameters are compared to determine the dependence of the convergences of the Galerkin method.     

ANALYSIS ON TRANSVERSE IMPACT RESPONSE OF AN UNRESTRAINED TIMOSHENKO BEAM

A moving rigid-body and an unrestrained Timoshenko beam, which is subjected to the transverse impact of the rigid-body, are treated as a contact-impact system. The generalized Fourier-series method was used to derive the characteristic equation and the characteristic function of the system. The analytical solutions of the impact responses for the system were presented. The responses can be divided into two parts : elastic responses and rigid responses. The momentum sum of elastic responses of the contact-impact system is demonstrated to be zero, which makes the rigid responses of the system easy to evaluate according to the principle of momentum conservation.     

An Euler-Bernoulli-like finite element method for Timoshenko beams

In this paper a new finite element approach for the solution of the Timoshenko beam is shown. Similarly to the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, it has been considered a single fourth order differential equation governs the equilibrium of the Timoshenko beam. The results obtained by this approach are very good, both in terms of accuracy and computational effort.     

Dynamic stability of axially accelerating Timoshenko beam: Averaging method

This study investigates dynamic stability in transverse parametric vibrations of an axially accelerating tensioned beam of Timoshenko model on simple supports. The axial speed is assumed as a harmonic fluctuation about the constant mean speed. The Galerkin method is applied to discretize the governing equation into a finite set of ordinary differential equations. The method of averaging is applied to analyze the instability phenomena caused by subharmonic and combination resonance. Numerical examples demonstrate the effects of the mean axial speed, bending stiffness, rotary inertia and shear modulus on the instability boundaries.

Natural frequencies of the elastically end restrained non-uniform Timoshenko beam using the power series method

In recent years, the transverse vibration of the uniform Timoshenko beam has become a highly significant research topic. The Timoshenko beam (TB) model is suitable for describing the behavior of the beams under high-frequency excitation load when the wavelength approaches the thickness of the beam because it considers the shear deformation and the rotational inertia effects. In this paper, the natural frequencies of the elastically end constrained nonuniform TB is discussed. For this reason, the nonuniform TB is modeled by an exact and direct modeling technique. The semi-analytical solution based on the power series method is adopted in technique. The effect of the spring supports, different boundary conditions, the non-uniformity in the cross-section of the TB, and other parameters are assessed. The results are shown that the nonuniformity in the cross-section of the beam is impressed on the natural frequencies. On the other hand, the presented formulation not only effectively is easy to use, but also provides the reasonable solution of non-uniform TB, carrying various boundary conditions.

Complex modes and traveling waves in axially moving Timoshenko beams

Complex modes and traveling waves in axially moving Timoshenko beams are studied. Due to the axially moving velocity, complex modes emerge instead of real value modes. Correspondingly, traveling waves are present for the axially moving material while standing waves dominate in the traditional static structures. The analytical results obtained in this study are verified with a numerical differential quadrature method.
