Abstract The general in-plane vibration problem of circular ring segments having linear and torsional elastic constraints at the ends has been studied. One of the interesting cases of concern for which there exists an exact solution is the case where the linear and torsional spring stiffnesses in the circumferential direction become zero (Ku = 0, Kt = 0) and the linear spring stiffness in the radial direction becomes infinity (Kw = ∞). This case is the so-called simply supported-simply supported case. The general form of the equations of motion of circular rings with the proper boundary conditions at the ends have been employed to investigate the vibration of the ring segment. Results for natural frequencies and mode shapes for different angles of the segment have been presented.

An analysis is presented for the free out-of-plane vibration of a circular ring elastically supported against deflection, rotation, and torsion at several points located at equal angular intervals. The equations of out-of-plane vibration of the ring is expressed as a matrix differential equation by using the transfer matrix, the solution to which is conveniently given by infinite series. The vibrations arising in the ring are classified into several types, for each of which the natural frequencies and the mode shapes are calculated numerically up to higher modes.

The vibration characteristics of a nonuniform, flexible and free-flying slender rocket experiencing constant thrust is investigated. The rocket is idealized as a classic nonuniform beam with a constant one-dimensional follower force and with free-free boundary conditions. The equations of motion are derived by applying the extended Hamilton’s principle for non-conservative systems. Natural frequencies and associated mode shapes of the rocket are determined using the relatively efficient and accurate Adomian modified decomposition method (AMDM) with the solutions obtained by solving a set of algebraic equations with only three unknown parameters. The method can easily be extended to obtain approximate solutions to vibration problems for any type of nonuniform beam.

A relatively thin—thickness to radius ratio—circular ring with rectangular cross section has been investigated to numerically evaluate the effect of eccentricity on the in plane bending natural frequencies and mode shapes. The assumed boundary conditions correspond to a ring freely supported in space such that it is free to translate and rotate with rigid body motion. A truncated Fourier series solution is assumed in an energy formulation to obtain numerical approximations of the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors for different eccentricities. Extensional and inextensional models for both Flu¨gge and Love-Timoshenko ring models were considered with two thickness to radius ratios. Results show different rates of decrease in the magnitudes of the natural frequencies for different mode configurations. Existence of closely spaced frequencies along with modal coupling are noticeable at 50 percent eccentricity.

In this study, free vibration responses of a carbon nanotube reinforced composite beam are investigated. The governing differential equations of motion of a carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced composite beam are presented in finite element formulation. The validity of the developed formulation is demonstrated by comparing the natural frequencies evaluated using present FEM with those of available literature. Various parametric studies are also performed to investigate the effect of aspect ratio and percentage of CNT content and boundary conditions on natural frequencies and mode shapes of a carbon nanotube reinforced composite beam. It is shown that the addition of carbon nanotube in fiber reinforced composite beam increases the stiffness of the structure and consequently increases the natural frequencies and alter the mode shapes.

Abstract In this paper, the mathematical model of a Bernoulli-Euler cantilever beam fixed on a moving cart and carrying an intermediate lumped mass is derived. The equations of motion of the beam-mass-cart system is analyzed utilizing unconstrained modal analysis, and a unified frequency equation which can be generally applied to this kind of system is obtained. The change of natural frequencies and mode shapes with respect to the change of the mass ratios of the beam, the lumped mass and the cart and to the position of the lumped mass is investigated. The open-loop responses of the system by arbitrary forcing function are also obtained through numerical simulations.

A complex cable-stayed bridge that consists of a simply-supported four-cable-stayed deck beam and two rigid towers is studied. The nonlinear and linear partial differential equations that govern the motions of the cables and segments of the deck beam, respectively, are derived, along with their boundary and matching conditions. The undamped natural frequencies and mode shapes of the linearized model of the cable-stayed bridge, which includes both the transverse and longitudinal vibrations of the cables, are determined. Numerical analysis of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the cable-stayed bridge is conducted for a symmetrical case with regards to the sizes of the components of the bridge and the initial sags of the cables. The results show that there are very close natural frequencies and localized mode shapes.

This paper presents the nonlinear vibration of a simply supported Euler-Bernoulli beam with a mass-spring system subjected to a primary resonance excitation. The nonlinearity is due to the mid-plane stretching and cubic spring stiffness. The equations of motion and the boundary conditions are derived using Hamiltons principle. The nonlinear system of equations are solved using the method of multiple scales. Explicit expressions are obtained for the mode shapes, natural frequencies, nonlinear frequencies, and frequency response curves. The validity of the results is demonstrated via comparison with results in the literature. Exact natural frequencies are obtained for different locations, rotational inertias, and masses.

We present a nonlinear model of electrically actuated microplates. The model accounts for the nonlinearity in the electric forcing as well as mid-plane stretching of the plate. We use a Galerkin approximation to reduce the partial-differential equations of motion to a finite-dimension system of nonlinearly coupled second-order ordinary-differential equations. We find the deflection of the microplate under DC voltage and study the pull-in phenomenon. The natural frequencies and mode shapes are then obtained around the deflected position of the microplate by solving the linear eigenvalue problem. The effect of various design parameters on both the static response and the dynamic characteristics are studied.
