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.

This paper addresses the problem of active vibration suppression for a class of Euler-Bernoulli beam system. The objective of this paper is to design a hybrid temporal-spatial differential controller, which is involved with the in-domain and boundary actuators, such that the closed-loop system is stable. The Lyapunov’s direct method is employed to derive the sufficient condition, which not only can guarantee the stabilization of system, but also can improve the spatial cooperation of actuators. In the framework of the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) technology, the gain matrices of hybrid controller can obtained by developing a recursive algorithm. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed methodology is demonstrated by applying a numerical simulation.

Damage detection and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) for bridges employing bridge-vehicle interaction has created considerable interest in recent times. In this regard, a significant amount of work is present on the bridge-vehicle interaction models and on damage models. Surface roughness on bridges is typically used for detailing models and analyses are present relating surface roughness to the dynamic amplification of response of the bridge, the vehicle or to the ride quality. This paper presents the potential of using surface roughness for damage detection of bridge structures through bridge-vehicle interaction. The concept is introduced by considering a single point observation of the interaction of an Euler-Bernoulli beam with a breathing crack traversed by a point load. The breathing crack is treated as a nonlinear system with bilinear stiffness characteristics related to the opening and closing of crack. A uniform degradation of flexural rigidity of an Euler-Bernoulli beam traversed by a point load is also considered in this regard. The surface roughness of the beam is essentially a spatial representation of some spectral definition and is treated as a broadband white noise in this paper. The mean removed residuals of beam response are analyzed to estimate damage extent. Uniform velocity and acceleration conditions of the traversing load are investigated for the appropriateness of use. The detection and calibration of damage is investigated through cumulant based statistical parameters computed on stochastic, normalized responses of the damaged beam due to passages of the load. Possibilities of damage detection and calibration under benchmarked and non-benchmarked cases are discussed. Practicalities behind implementing this concept are also considered.
