In this study, the nonlinear free vibrations behaviour of nano-truncated conical shells was analysed, using the first-order shear deformable shell model. The analysis took into account the structure size through modified strain gradient theory, and differential quadrature and Fréchet derivative methods in von Kármán-Donnell-type approach to kinematic nonlinearity. The governing equations were obtained, utilizing Hamilton's principle. Partial differential equations plus the non-classical and classical boundary conditions were used to obtain the shells’ equations of motion. Discretizing the boundary conditions and equations of motion were performed based on a generalized differential quadrature analogy. The eigenvalue system was considered based on the harmonic balance technique. The Galerkin and Fréchet derivative approaches were used to determine the nonlinear free vibration behaviour of the carbon nano-cone, which was modelled in the simply- and clamped-supported boundary conditions. Comparisons were made between the findings from the new model versus the couple and classical stress theories, indicating that the classical and modified couple stress theories are distinct representations of modified strain gradient theory. The results also revealed that the degree of hardening of nano-truncated conical shells in the modified strain gradient theory is less than that of modified couple stress and classical theories. This led to a rise in the non-dimensional amplitude and frequency ratios. This study investigated the effect of size on free nonlinear vibrations of nano-truncated conical shells for various apex angles and lengths. Finally, we evaluated and compared our findings versus those reported by previous studies, which confirmed the precision and accuracy of our results.

In this work, the nonlocal strain gradient theory is applied to study the free vibration response of a Timoshenko beam made of triclinic material. The governing equations of the problem and the associated boundary conditions are obtained by means of the Hamiltonian principle, whereby the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method is implemented as numerical tool to solve the eigenvalue problem in a discrete form. Different combinations of boundary conditions are also considered, which include simply-supports, clamped supports and free edges. Starting with some pioneering works from the literature about isotropic nanobeams, a convergence analysis is first performed, and the accuracy of the proposed size-dependent anisotropic beam model is checked. A large parametric investigation studies the effect of the nonlocal, geometry, and strain gradient parameters, together with the boundary conditions, on the vibration response of the anisotropic nanobeams, as useful for practical engineering applications.

Equations Of Motions

This article discusses about vibration analysis of single-/three-layered microsandwich Timoshenko beams with porous core and graphene platelet–reinforced composite face sheets under magnetic field and elastic foundation based on the modified strain gradient theory. It is assumed that the material properties of matrix and reinforcement vary in thickness directions. Hamilton’s principle based on the energy approach is used to obtain the governing equations of motions. The equations of motions are solved using a numerical differential quadrature method for various boundary conditions. The obtained results of this study are compared with other previous research studies, and there is a good agreement between them. Moreover, the effects of different parameters such as length-to-thickness ratio, magnetic field, various distributions of graphene platelets and porous beams, and volume fractions of graphene platelets are studied on the dimensionless natural frequencies. In fact, the main idea of this work is combination of structure reinforcement with magnetic field and graphene platelets on the sandwich porous beams at microscale, and the effects of these parameters are developed on the dimensionless natural frequencies of the microbeam. The results of the present study demonstrate that applying magnetic field and increasing its intensity lead to enhance the natural frequency. Also, it is showed that graphene platelet reinforcement with one percent of weight fraction has an effective effect on the increasing dimensionless natural frequencies of the microporous beam. Thus, it can be predicted that graphene platelets can be used instead of nanotubes because they do not have the problem of nanotube accumulation and they are more economical than nanotubes.
