The governing differential equations and the boundary conditions for the coupled bending-bending-extensional vibration of a rotating nonuniform beam with arbitrary pretwist and an elastically restrained root are derived by Hamilton’s principle. The semianalytical solution procedure for an inextensional beam without taking account of the coriolis forces is derived. The coupled governing differential equations are transformed to be a vector characteristic governing equation. The frequency equation of the system is derived and expressed in terms of the transition matrix of the vector governing equation. A simple and efficient algorithm for determining the transition matrix of the general system with arbitrary pretwist is derived. The divergence in the Frobenius method does not exist in the proposed method. The frequency relations between different systems are revealed. The mechanism of instability is discovered. The influence of the rotatory inertia, the coupling effect of the rotating speed and the mass moment of inertia, the setting angle, the rotating speed and the spring constants on the natural frequencies, and the phenomenon of divergence instability are investigated.

Without considering the Coriolis force, the governing differential equations for the pure bending vibrations of a rotating nonuniform Timoshenko beam are derived. The two coupled differential equations are reduced into two complete fourth-order differential equations with variable coefficients in the flexural displacement and in the angle of rotation due to bending, respectively. The explicit relation between the flexural displacement and the angle of rotation due to bending is established. The frequency equations of the beam with a general elastically restrained root are derived and expressed in terms of the four normalized fundamental solutions of the associated governing differential equations. Consequently, if the geometric and material properties of the beam are in polynomial forms, then the exact solution for the problem can be obtained. Finally, the limiting cases are examined. The influence of the coupling effect of the rotating speed and the mass moment of inertia, the setting angle, the rotating speed and taper ratio on the natural frequencies, and the phenomenon of divergence instability (tension buckling) are investigated.

A systematic solution procedure for studying the dynamic response of a rotating nonuniform Timoshenko beam with an elastically restrained root is presented. The partial differential equations are transformed into the ordinary differential equations by taking the Laplace transform. The two coupled governing differential equations are uncoupled into two complete fourth-order differential equations with variable coefficients in the flexural displacement and in the angle of rotation due to bending, respectively. The general solution and the generalized Green function of the uncoupled system are derived. They are expressed in terms of the four corresponding linearly independent homogenous solutions, respectively. The shifting relations of the four homogenous solutions of the uncoupled governing differential equation with constant coefficients are revealed. The generalized Green function of an nth order ordinary differential equation can be obtained by using the proposed method. Finally, the influence of the elastic root restraints, the setting angle, and the excitation frequency on the steady response of a beam is investigated.

Abstract In this paper, a semi-analytical solution for free vibration differential equations of curved girders is proposed based on their mathematical properties and vibration characteristics. The solutions of in-plane vibration differential equations are classified into two cases: one only considers variable separation of non-longitudinal vibration, while the other is a synthesis method addressing both longitudinal and non-longitudinal vibration using Rayleigh’s modal assumption and variable separation method. A similar approach is employed for the out of- plane vibration, but further mathematical operations are conducted to incorporate the coupling effect of bending and twisting. In this case study, the natural frequencies of a curved girder under different boundary conditions are obtained using the two proposed methods, respectively. The results are compared with those from the finite element analysis (FEA) and results show good convergence.

It is generally known that Lie symmetries of differential equations can lead to a reduction of the governing equation(s), lead to exact solutions of these equations and, in the best case scenario, lead to a linearization of the original equation. In this paper, we consider a model from optimal investment theory where we show the governing equation possesses an extensive contact symmetry and, through this, we show it is linearizable. Several exact solutions are provided including a solution to a particular terminal value problem.

For an n d.o.f. robot system, optimal trajectories using Lagrange multipliers are characterized by 4n first-order nonlinear differential equations with 4n boundary conditions at the two end time. Numerical solution of such two-point boundary value problems with shooting techniques is hard since Lagrange multipliers can not be guessed. In this paper, a new procedure is proposed where the dynamic equations are embedded into the cost functional. It is shown that the optimal solution satisfies n fourth-order differential equations. Due to absence of Lagrange multipliers, the two-point boundary-value problem can be solved efficiently and accurately using classical weighted residual methods.

An analysis is presented for the free vibration of a circular cylindrical shell restrained by axially spaced elastic springs. The governing equations of vibration of a circular cylindrical shell are written as a coupled set of first-order differential equations by using the transfer matrix of the shell. Once the matrix has been determined, the entire structure matrix is obtained by the product of the transfer matrices and the point matrices at the springs, and the frequency equation is derived with terms of the elements of the structure matrix under the boundary conditions. The method is applied to circular cylindrical shells supported by axially equispaced springs of the same stiffness, and the natural frequencies and the mode shapes of vibration are calculated numerically.

Modelling and control vibration is studied for the flexible guided lifting system in the presence of output constraints, input hysteresis, guided rope fault, etc. Flexible guided lifting system, subjected to external disturbances from the boundary disturbance or fluid interaction, is an inherent distributed parameter system with time-varying length and infinite dimensions. According to extended Hamilton’s principle, the governing equation in the form of hybrid partial differential equations and ordinary differential equations is derived to reflect the dynamic response of such multiple ropes under the boundary disturbances and multiple constraints. Adaptive neural network control combining with backstepping technique is subsequently designed to suppress undesirable vibration and stabilise the system, where the neural network is provided as a feedforward compensator for the unknown hysteresis nonlinearities in the control input. Asymptotic stability and uniform boundedness of the system are guaranteed through the Lyapunov theorem, which indicates that all states are uniformly convergent by LaSalle’s invariance principle. The original governing equation is solved numerically by using the finite difference method, where simulation results are illustrated to validate the efficiency of the hybrid partial differential equation and ordinary differential equation model and the adaptive stabilisation design.

A new vibration beam technique for the fast determination of the dynamic Young modulus is developed. The method is based on measuring the resonant frequency of flexural vibrations of a partially restrained rectangular beam. The strip-shaped specimen fixed at one end to a force sensor and free at the other forms the Euler Bernoulli cantilever beam with linear and torsion spring on the fixed end. The beam is subjected to free bending vibrations by simply releasing it from a flexural position and its dynamic response detected by the force sensor is processed by FFT analysis. Identified natural frequencies are initially used in the frequency equation to find the corresponding modal numbers and then to calculate the Young modulus. The validity of the procedure was tested on a number of industrial materials by comparing the measured modulus with known values from the literature and good agreement was found.
