Cantilever beams have found intensive and extensive uses as underlying mechanisms for energy transduction in sensors as well as in energy harvesters. In magnetoelectric (ME) transduction, the underlying cantilever beam usually will undergo magnetic coupling effect. As the beam itself is either banded with magnetic transducer or magnets, the dynamic motion of the cantilever can be modified due to the magnetic force between the magnets and ME sensors. In this study, the dynamic response of a typical spiral cantilever beam with magnetic coupling is investigated. The spiral cantilever acts as the resonator of an energy harvester with a tip mass in the form of magnets, and a ME transducer is positioned in the air gap and interacts with the magnets. It is expected that this spiral configuration is capable of performing multiple vibration modes over a small frequency range and the response frequencies can be magnetically tunable. The experimental results show that the magnetic coupling between the magnets and the transducer plays a favorable role in achieving tunable resonant frequencies and reducing the frequency spacings. This will benefits the expansion of the response band of a device and is especially useful in energy harvesting.

The aim of the study was to analyze the dynamic response along an aluminum cantilever beam. The data measured were displacement (mm), velocity (mm / s), and acceleration (m/s2) with 3 variations of the measurement position on the beam. The 6061 series aluminum beam used have length: 80 cm, height: 32 cm, and width: 32 cm. Data were collected experimentally using a vibration meter to measure beam vibrations at the various positions from the cantilever beam at a distance from support: 10 cm, 35 cm, and 60 cm. The results of the analysis showed that the values ​​of the displacement, velocity and acceleration of the object vibrations change when the measuring point was far from the cantilever support. The maximum displacement value is at 60 cm from the support: 0.02 mm, and the lowest is at 10 cm: 0.12 mm. The velocity value also increases, maximum at 60 cm from the support: 38.58 mm/s and the minimum value at 10 cm: 12.30 mm/s. While the acceleration value, the maximum at 60 cm from the support: 91150 mm/s2 and the minimum at 10 cm: 66900 mm/s2.

Vibration-based damage detection, a nondestructive method, is based on the fact that vibration characteristics such as natural frequencies and mode shapes of structures are changed when the damage happens. This paper presents cooperative coevolutionary genetic algorithm (CCGA), which is capable for an optimization problem with a large number of decision variables, as the optimizer for the vibration-based damage detection in beams. In the CCGA, a minimized objective function is a numerical indicator of differences between vibration characteristics of the actual damage and those of the anticipated damage. The damage detection in a uniform cross-section cantilever beam, a uniform strength cantilever beam, and a uniform cross-section simply supported beam is used as the test problems. Random noise in the vibration characteristics is also considered in the damage detection. In the simulation analysis, the CCGA provides the superior solutions to those that use standard genetic algorithms presented in previous works, although it uses less numbers of the generated solutions in solution search. The simulation results reveal that the CCGA can efficiently identify the occurred damage in beams for all test problems including the damage detection in a beam with a large number of divided elements such as 300 elements.

The dynamic response of a parametrically excited cantilever beam with a pendulum is theoretically and experimentally presented. The equation of motion and the associated boundary conditions are derived considering the static friction of the rotating motion at the supporting point (pivot) of the pendulum. It is theoretically shown that the static friction at the pivot of the pendulum plays a dominant role in the suppression of parametric resonance. The boundary conditions are different between two states in which the motion of the pendulum is either trapped by the static friction or it is not. Because of this variation of the boundary conditions depending on the pendulum motion, the natural frequencies of the system are automatically and passively changed and the bifurcation set for the parametric resonance is also shifted, so that parametric resonance does not occur. Experimental results also verify the effect of the pendulum on the suppression of parametric resonance in the cantilever beam.

The response of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) structure can be correlated to the response of an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system, implying that the response is controlled by a single, unchanged mode shape. This equivalent SDOF method is eminent as an approximate method of dynamic analysis. In this study, equivalent SDOF method analysis is carried out on RC cantilever beam subjected to dynamic blast loading to review the transformation factors (TFs) provided by TM5-1300 code.
