In this study, the nonlinear equation of motion of the beam on the elastic foundation is obtained via the Newton's second law of motion, and its free vibration nature is investigated. Considering the inextensional condition, the planar model of the beam accounting for the effects of the rotary inertia is derived. Then, the linear vibration and nonlinear vibration of the beam on the elastic foundation are examined. It is shown that the cut-off frequency can be observed in the frequency spectrum of the beam response. The effects of the rotary inertia on the natural frequencies are systematically investigated. Finally, the frequency differences, due to the different foundation models, and the possible modal interaction of the beam are discussed.

Vibrations are usually undesired phenomena as they may cause discomfort, disturbance, damage, and sometimes destruction of machines and structures. It must be reduced or controlled or eliminated. One of the most common methods of vibration control is the use of the dynamic absorber. The paper is interested in the study of a nonlinear two degrees of freedom (DOF) model. To solve nonlinear equation of motion a high order implicit algorithm is proposed. It is based on the introduction of a homotopy, an implicit scheme of Newmark and the use of techniques of Asymptotic Numerical method (ANM). We propose also a regularization of the contact force to overcome the difficulty of the singularity in this model. A comparison will be presented between the results obtained by the proposed algorithm and those using the classical Newton–Raphson and Newmark time scheme.

Based on the classical Timoshenko beam theory, the rotary inertia caused by shear deformation is further considered and then the equation of motion of the Timoshenko beam theory is modified. The dynamic characteristics of this new model, named the modified Timoshenko beam, have been discussed, and the distortion of natural frequencies of Timoshenko beam is improved, especially at high-frequency bands. The effects of different cross-sectional types on natural frequencies of the modified Timoshenko beam are studied, and corresponding simulations have been conducted. The results demonstrate that the modified Timoshenko beam can successfully be applied to all beams of three given cross sections, i.e., rectangular, rectangular hollow, and circular cross sections, subjected to different boundary conditions. The consequence verifies the validity and necessity of the modification.

The dynamic characteristic of a uniform rectangular plate with four boundary conditions and carrying three kinds of multiple concentrated element (rigidly attached point masses, linear springs and elastically mounted point masses) was investigated. Firstly, the closed-form solutions for the natural frequencies and the corresponding normal mode shapes of a rectangular ‘bare’ (or ‘unconstrained’) plate (without any attachments) with the specified boundary conditions were determined analytically. Next, by using these natural frequencies and normal mode shapes incorporated with the expansion theory, the equation of motion of the ‘constrained’ plate (carrying the three kinds of multiple concentrated element) were derived. Finally, numerical methods were used to solve this equation of motion to give the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the ‘constrained’ plate. To confirm the reliability of previous free vibration analysis results, a finite element analysis was also conducted. It was found that the results obtained from the above-mentioned two approaches were in good agreement. Compared with the conventional finite element method (FEM), the approach employed in this paper has the advantages of saving computing time and achieving better accuracy, as can be seen from the existing literature.

The response and natural frequencies for the linear and nonlinear vibrations of rotating disks are given analytically through the new plate theory proposed by Luo in 1999. The results for the nonlinear vibration can reduce to the ones for the linear vibration when the nonlinear effects vanish and for the von Karman model when the nonlinear effects are modified. They are applicable to disks experiencing large-amplitude displacement or initial flatness and waviness. The natural frequencies for symmetric and asymmetric responses of a 3.5-inch diameter computer memory disk as an example are predicted through the linear theory, the von Karman theory and the new plate theory. The hardening of rotating disks occurs when nodal-diameter numbers are small and the softening of rotating disks occurs when nodal-diameter numbers become larger. The critical speeds of the softening disks decrease with increasing deflection amplitudes. [S0739-3717(00)02004-3]

The finite element method is employed in this paper to investigate free-vibration problems of a spinning stepped Timoshenko beam consisting of a series of uniform segments. Each uniform segment is considered a substructure which may be modeled using beam finite elements of uniform cross section. Assembly of global equation of motion of the entire beam is achieved using Lagrange’s multiplier method. The natural frequencies and mode shapes are subsequently reduced with the help of linear transformations to a standard eigenvalue problem for which a set of natural frequencies and mode shapes may be easily obtained. Numerical results for an overhung stepped beam consisting of three uniform segments are obtained and presented as an illustrative example. [S00021-8936(01)00101-5]

Abstract The response, natural frequencies for the linear and nonlinear vibrations of rotating disks are given analytically through the Luo and Mote’s plate theory of 1998. The results for the nonlinear vibration can reduce to the ones for the linear vibration when the nonlinear effects vanish, and they are applicable to disks experiencing large-amplitude displacement or initial flatness and waviness. The natural frequencies for symmetric and asymmetric responses of a 3.5-inch diameter computer memory disk as an example are predicted through the linear theory, the von Karman theory and the new plate theory. The hardening of rotating disks occurs when nodal-diameter numbers are small and the softening of rotating disks occurs when nodal-diameter numbers becomes larger. The critical speeds of softening disks decrease with increasing deflection amplitudes.

This paper presents a finite element formulation for investigating the free vibration of uniform Timoshenko beams resting on a Winkler-type elastic foundation and prestressing by axial force. Taking the effect of prestress, foundation support and shear deformation into account, a stiffness matrix for Timoshenko-type beam element is formulated using the energy method. The element consistent mass matrix is obtained from the kinetic energy using simple linear shape functions. Employing the formulated element, the natural frequencies of the beams having various boundary conditions are determined for different values of the axial force and foundation stiffness. The vibration Characteristics of the beams partially supported on the foundation are also studied and highlighted. Specially, the effects of shear deformation on the vibration frequencies of prestress beams fully and partially supported on the elastic foundation are investigated in detail.

This paper investigates the free vibration and dynamic response of functionally graded sandwich beams resting on an elastic foundation under the action of a moving harmonic load. The governing equation of motion of the beam, which includes the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia based on the Timoshenko beam theory, is derived from Lagrange’s equations. The Ritz and Newmark methods are employed to solve the equation of motion for the free and forced vibration responses of the beam with different boundary conditions. The results are presented in both tabular and graphical forms to show the effects of layer thickness ratios, boundary conditions, length to height ratios, spring constants, etc. on natural frequencies and dynamic deflections of the beam. It was found that increasing the spring constant of the elastic foundation leads to considerable increase in natural frequencies of the beam; while the same is not true for the dynamic deflection. Additionally, very large dynamic deflection occurs for the beam in resonance under the harmonic moving load.

This paper examines the free and forced linear response of a string which is translating across an elastic foundation. Exact solutions are derived for the free vibration of the string which translates between fixed eyelets and across elastic foundations represented by (1) a single interior spring and (2) a uniform step foundation. Results illustrate the dependence of the string natural frequencies and mode shapes on the foundation stiffness, the foundation geometry, and the string translation speed. The forced response of the string to harmonic end excitation is computed in closed form for the case of a complete uniform foundation. A cutoff frequency separates three distinct solution forms. For excitation frequencies below the cutoff frequency, the response amplitude decays exponentially with distance from the driven end.
