The collocation method is the method for the numerical solution of integral equations and partial and ordinary differential equations. The main idea of this method is to choose a number of points in the domain and a finite-dimensional space of candidate solutions. So, that solution satisfies the governing equation at the collocation points. The current paper involves developing, and a comprehensive, step-by step procedure for applying the collocation method to the numerical solution of free vibration of tapered Euler-Bernoulli beam. In this stusy, it is assumed the beam rested on variable Winkler foundation. The simplicity of this approximation method makes it an ideal candidate for computer implementation. Finally, the numerical examples are introduced to show efficiency and applicability of quintic B-spline collocation method. Numerical results are demonstrated that quintic B-spline collocation method is very competitive for numerical solution of frequency analysis of tapered beam on variable elastic foundation.

In this paper, the exact analytical solutions are developed for the thermodynamic behavior of an Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on an elastic foundation and exposed to a time decaying laser pulse that scans over the beam with a uniform velocity. The governing equations, namely the heat conduction equation and the vibration equation are solved using the Green’s function approach. The temporal and special distributions of temperature, deflection, strain, and the energy absorbed by the elastic foundation are calculated. The effects of the laser motion speed, the modulus of elastic foundation reaction, and the laser pulse duration time are studied in detail.

Nonlinear forced vibration of the carbon nanotubes based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is studied. The Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is implemented to find the governing equation of the vibrations of the carbon nanotube. The Pasternak and Nonlinear Winkler foundation is assumed for the objective system. It is supposed that the system is supported by hinged-hinged boundary conditions. The Galerkin procedure is employed in order to find the nonlinear ordinary differential equation of the vibration of the objective system considering two modes of vibrations. The primary and secondary resonant cases are developed for the objective system employing the multiple scales method. Influence of different factors such as length, thickness, position of applied force, Pasternak and Winkler foundation are fully shown on the primary and secondary resonance of the system.

Abstract In this paper, a rail joint model consisting of three Euler-Bernoulli beams connected via a Winkler foundation is proposed in order to point out the influence of the joint gap length upon the stiffness of the rail joint. Starting from the experimental results aiming the stiffness of the rail joint, the Winkler foundation stiffness of the model has been calculated. Using the proposed model, it is shown that the stiffness of the rail joint of the 49 rail can decreases up to 10 % when the joint gap length increases from 0 to 20 mm.

A steel ruler supported by a flexible foam foundation, modelled as an Euler–Bernoulli beam on a Winkler foundation, exhibits receding contact when subjected to a point load. The system is analysed using simple beam theory and Laplace transformation – both of which are typically covered in the first two years of a UK Mechanical Engineering undergraduate programme. The design of a simple experiment is described.

AbstractIn this paper, the dynamics and the buckling loads for an Euler–Bernoulli beam resting on an inhomogeneous elastic, Winkler foundation are studied. An analytical, asymptotic method is proposed to determine the stability of the Euler–Bernoulli beam for various types of inhomogeneities in the elastic foundation taking into account different types of damping models. Based on the Rayleigh variation principle, beam buckling loads are computed for cases of harmonically perturbed types of inhomogeneities in the elastic foundation, for cases of point inhomogeneities in the form of concentrated springs in the elastic foundation, and for cases with rectangular inclusions in the elastic foundation. The investigation of the beam dynamics shows the possibility of internal resonances for particular values of the beam rigidity and longitudinal force. Such types of resonances, which are usually typical for nonlinear systems, are only possible for the beam due to its inhomogeneous foundation. The occurrence of so-called added mass effects near buckling instabilities under the influence of damping have been found. The analytical expressions for this “added mass” effect have been obtained for different damping models including space hysteresis types. This effect arises as a result of an interaction between the main mode, which is close to instability, and all the other stable modes of vibration.
