Thermal effect on the deformation of a flexible beam with large kinematical driven overall motions

The research investigates the transient longitudinal and transverse deformation of a planar flexible beam with large overall motions in a temperature field. With the increase of temperature, longitudinal deformation is caused by the thermal expansion in axial direction. Due to the coupling of longitudinal and transverse deformation, the transverse deformation is induced, which is significant in cases where temperature increases rapidly in a very short period. Furthermore, the transverse temperature gradient, which is caused by the temperature variation in the transverse direction, may lead to transverse deformation. Considering the thermal strain, equations of motion of a flexible beam with arbitrary large overall motion are derived based on virtual work principle. The high order terms of the strain tensor are taken into account, such that the geometric nonlinear deformation terms are included in the dynamic equations. Simulation results of a rotating beam are shown to reveal the thermal effect and nonlinear effect on the dynamic performance of the beam.     

Resonance frequencies and stability of a current-carrying suspended nanobeam in a longitudinal magnetic field

The resonance frequencies and stability of a nanobeam in a longitudinal magnetic field are investigated. To this aim, a three dimensional beam model is used in which the small-scale effect is taken into account based on the nonlocal elasticity theory. The Lorentz forces are obtained in terms of the local elastic rotations of the beam and the thermal stress due to current is modeled as an axial compressive force. Using the Galerkin method, the governing equations of motion are solved and the stability boundary of the nanobeam is determined.     

Thermal buckling analysis of functionally graded beam with longitudinal crack

The thermal buckling problem of functionally graded beam with longitudinal crack is presented in the paper. The whole beam is divided into four sub-beams and each one is modeled as a Timoshenko beam. The buckling governing equation of each sub-beam in thermal environment is established by using Hamilton Principle. Combining with the boundary conditions, the continuous conditions of the displacements and the forces, the buckling governing equations are solved by both the analytical and numerical methods. The buckling modes and critical buckling temperatures are obtained, and the effects of the functionally graded index, crack length, crack depth, and crack longitudinal location on the buckling characteristics of beams are discussed in numerical examples.     

Calculation of the longitudinal velocity in the linear problem of a vibrator in a subsonic boundary layer

The linear problem is considered of a localized vibrator mounted on a flat plate in a subsonic boundary layer. The plate and the vibrator are assumed to be heat-insulated, and the dimensions of the vibrator and the frequency of the oscillations are such that the flow may be described by means of the equations of a boundary layer with self-induced pressure. The amplitude of the oscillations of the vibrator and the perturbations of the flow parameters corresponding to it are assumed to be small, and this makes it possible to linearize these equations. Integral transformations are used to construct a solution for values of the time greatly exceeding the period of the oscillations of the vibrator. The profiles of the perturbations of the longitudinal velocity are calculated in dependence on the transverse coordinate for various values of the longitudinal coordinate. A comparison is made with the profiles of the perturbations of the longitudinal velocity which have been obtained experimentally.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 61–67, May–June, 1987.

Attractors of a rotating viscoelastic beam

We investigate the non-linear oscillations of a rotating viscoelastic beam with variable pitch angle. The governing equations of motion are two coupled partial differential equations for the longitudinal and transversal displacements. Using a perturbation technique and Galerkin's projection, we reduce the equations of motion to a non-autonomous ordinary differential equation. Our regular perturbation technique is based on the expansion of longitudinal displacement and the amplitude of first transversal mode in terms of a small parameter. We numerically generate the Poincaré maps of the reduced equations and reveal that the system exhibits regular and chaotic attractors. The regular attractors are stable limit-cycles that are relevant to stable, short-period oscillations of the beam. A bifurcation analysis has also been performed when the pitch angle is constant.     

On the cross-section distortion of thin-walled beams with multi-cell cross-sections subjected to bending

This paper deals with distortion of the cross-section contour of thin-walled beams with simple multi-cell closed rectangular cross-sections. The cross-section distortion is considered in the limit case. It is assumed that beam plates are hinged together along their longitudinal edges. Double symmetric three and two-cell closed cross-sections are considered. The stresses and displacements are obtained in the closed analytical form. The additional stresses and displacements due to distortion with respect to the stresses and displacements of the ordinary theory of bending are obtained. The boundary conditions are given in the general form. Some illustrative examples are given.     

Aerothermoelastic behavior of supersonic rotating thin-walled beams made of functionally graded materials

In this study, a thin-walled beam made of functionally graded material (FGM) which is used as rotating blades in turbomachinery under aerothermoelastic loading is investigated. The governing equations, which are based on first-order shear deformation theory, include the effects of the presetting angle, the secondary warping, temperature gradient through the wall thickness of the beam and also the rotational speed. Moreover, quasi-steady aerodynamic pressure loadings are determined using first-order piston theory, and steady beam surface temperature is obtained from gas dynamics theory. Then, the blade partial differential equations are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations using the extended Galerkin method. Finally, having solved the resulting structural–fluid–thermal eigenvalue system of equations, the effects of Mach number and geometric parameters on natural frequencies are presented. The results demonstrate that the natural frequencies decrease under aerothermoelastic loading at high Mach numbers.     

Quasi-static and dynamical analyses of a thermoviscoelastic Timoshenko beam using the differential quadrature method

The quasi-static and dynamic responses of a thermoviscoelastic Timoshenko beam subject to thermal loads are analyzed. First, based on the small geometric deformation assumption and Boltzmann constitutive relation, the governing equations for the beam are presented. Second, an extended differential quadrature method(DQM)in the spatial domain and a differential method in the temporal domain are combined to transform the integro-partial-differential governing equations into the ordinary differential equations. Third, the accuracy of the present discrete method is verified by elastic/viscoelastic examples, and the effects of thermal load parameters, material and geometrical parameters on the quasi-static and dynamic responses of the beam are discussed. Numerical results show that the thermal function parameter has a great effect on quasi-static and dynamic responses of the beam. Compared with the thermal relaxation time, the initial vibrational responses of the beam are more sensitive to the mechanical relaxation time of the thermoviscoelastic material.     

The laminar boundary layer near a body corner point

A method is developed for calculating the characteristics of a laminar boundary layer near a body contour corner point, in the vicinity of which the outer supersonic stream passes through a rarefaction flow. In the study we use the asymptotic solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in the region with large longitudinal gradients of the flow functions for large values of the Reynolds number, the general form of which was used in [1].The pressure, heat flux, and friction distributions along the body surface are obtained. For small pressure differentials near the corner the solution of the corresponding equations for small disturbances is obtained in analytic form.The conventional method for studying viscous gas flow near body surfaces for large values of the Reynolds number is the use of the Prandtl boundary layer theory. Far from the body the asymptotic solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in the first approximation reduces to the solution of the Euler equations, while near the body it reduces to the solution of the Prandtl boundary layer equations. The characteristic feature of the boundary layer region is the small variation of the flow functions in the longitudinal direction in comparison with their variation in the transverse direction. However, in many cases this condition is violated.The necessity arises for constructing additional asymptotic expansions for the region in which the longitudinal and transverse variations of the flow functions are quantities of the same order. The general method for constructing asymptotic solutions for such flows with the use of the known method of outer and inner expansions is presented in [1].In the following we consider the flow in a laminar boundary layer for the case of a viscous supersonic gas stream in the vicinity of a body corner point. Behind the corner the flow separates from the body surface and flows around a stagnant zone, in which the pressure differs by a specified amount from the pressure in the undisturbed flow ahead of the point of separation. A pressure (rarefaction) disturbance propagates in the subsonic portion of the boundary layer upstream for a distance which in order of magnitude is equal to several boundary layer thicknesses. In the disturbed region of the boundary layer the longitudinal and transverse pressure and velocity disturbances are quantities of the same order. In this study we construct additional asymptotic expansions in the first approximation and calculate the distributions of the pressure, friction stress, and thermal flux along the body surface.     

Nonlinear dynamics of an inclined beam subjected to a moving load

In this paper, the nonlinear dynamic response of an inclined pinned-pinned beam with a constant cross section, finite length subjected to a concentrated vertical force traveling with a constant velocity is investigated. The study is focused on the mode summation method and also on frequency analysis of the governing PDEs equations of motion. Furthermore, the steady-state response is studied by applying the multiple scales method. The nonlinear response of the beam is obtained by solving two coupled nonlinear PDEs governing equations of planar motion for both longitudinal and transverse oscillations of the beam. The dynamic magnification factor and normalized time histories of mid-pint of the beam are obtained for various load velocity ratios and the outcome results have been illustrated and compared to the results with those obtained from traditional linear solution. The appropriate parametric study considering the effects of the linear viscous damping, the velocity of the traveling load, beam inclination angle under zero or nonzero axial load are carried out to capture the influence of the effect of large deflections caused by stretching effects due to the beam’s immovable ends. It was seen that quadratic nonlinearity renders the softening effect on the dynamic response of the beam under the act of traveling load. Also in the case where the object leaves the inclined beam, its planar motion path is derived and the targeting accuracy is investigated and compared with those from the rigid solution assumption. Moreover, the stability analysis of steady-state response for the modes equations having quadratic nonlinearity was carried out and it was observed from the frequency response curves that for the considered parameters in the case of internal-external primary resonance, both saturation phenomenon and jump phenomenon can be predicted for the longitudinal excitation.

Approximate equations for torsional waves in a nonlinear elastic rod with weak viscoelasticity

Approximate equations are derived for nonlinear torsional waves propagating along a thin circular viscoelastic rod. Ignoring the thermal effect, ‘nearly elastic’ compressible viscoelastic solids are considered in which a weak dependence of stresses on a history of strain is assumed. With the assumption that the rod is subjected to a finite angle of torsion, but that the rod is thin, the displacement is sought in a power series of the radial coordinate. The effects of geometrical and material nonlinearity give rise to the normal stress effect, which introduces deformations in the cross sectional and longitudinal dimensions of rod. Taking account of both the effect of nonlinearity and that of viscoelasticity, one dimensional approximate equations are obtained for the angle of torsion coupled with the longitudinal deformation.
