Viscoelastic Timoshenko Beam

In this paper, we are concerned with a cantilevered Timoshenko beam. The beam is viscoelastic and subject to a translational displacement. Consequently, the Timoshenko system is complemented by an ordinary differential equation describing the dynamic of the base to which the beam is attached to. We establish a control force capable of driving the system to the equilibrium state with a certain speed depending on the decay rate of the relaxation function.

Viscoelastic Timoshenko Beam

The problem of a viscoelastic Timoshenko beam subjected to a transversely applied step-loading is solved using the Laplace transform method. It is established that the support shear force is amplified more than the support bending moment for a fixed-end beam when strain rate influences are accounted for implicitly in the viscoelastic constitutive formulation.

A classification of the behaviour of the solutions f(·, a) to the ordinary differential equation (|f′|p-2f′)′ + f - |f′|p-1 = 0 in (0,∞) with initial condition f(0, a) = a and f′(0, a) = 0 is provided, according to the value of the parameter a > 0 when the exponent p takes values in (1, 2). There is a threshold value a* that separates different behaviours of f(·, a): if a > a*, then f(·, a) vanishes at least once in (0,∞) and takes negative values, while f(·, a) is positive in (0,∞) and decays algebraically to zero as r→∞ if a ∊ (0, a*). At the threshold value, f(·, a*) is also positive in (0,∞) but decays exponentially fast to zero as r→∞. The proof of these results relies on a transformation to a first-order ordinary differential equation and a monotonicity property with respect to a > 0. This classification is one step in the description of the dynamics near the extinction time of a diffusive Hamilton–Jacobi equation with critical gradient absorption and fast diffusion.
