Nonlinear Free Vibration

Nonlinear free vibration of micro-beams based on the Timoshenko beam model is studied. The governing equations of motion using the strain gradient theory, Von Kármán strain tensors and Hamiltonian principle, are developed. The Galerkin method is applied to the governing equations and the coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations of system are obtained. The variational iteration method is utilized to determine the time responses of the micro-beam and also a close form expression for the frequency-amplitude is found. The analytical solutions obtained for different values of parameters are compared with those found from different numerical methods. The effects of geometrical and physical parameters on the dynamics of micro-beam are also examined. Moreover, the analytical formulation for frequency ratio, i.e., the ratio of nonlinear natural frequency to the linear one is obtained and the sensitivity of this ratio to the variations of various parameters is evaluated. It is proved that the proposed solution methods and the results obtained are accurate and reliable when dynamics of such micro structures are studied.

In this study, the strain gradient theory is employed to derive governing equations of motion of a functionally graded Timoshenko’s sandwich microbeam resting on Pasternak’s foundation. The microbeam is including a micro-core and two piezoelectric face-sheets on top and bottom. The plate is actuated with applied electric potential at top of piezoelectric face-sheets. The governing equations of motion are derived using Hamilton’s principle and strain gradient theory. After derivation of governing equations of motion, the problem is solved for three classes of analysis including wave propagation, free vibration and bending analysis. The numerical results are presented to reflect the effect of important parameters such as wave number, applied voltage, inhomogeneous index, parameters of foundation and material length-scale parameters on the different responses. The obtained results indicated that changing material length-scale parameters leads to a stiffer structure that increase natural frequencies and decreases transverse deflection and maximum electric potential.

Euler Bernoulli Beam

A model of a clamped-clamped beam with an attached lumped mass is presented in this paper. The system is modeled using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. In the models presented in literature, it is assumed that the center of mass of the attached mass is located on the neutral axis of the beam. In this paper, this assumption is relaxed. The governing equations of motion are derived. It has been shown that the off-axis center of mass of the attached mass generates an amplitude-dependent transverse force in the beam, which introduces a quadratic nonlinearity. The nonlinear governing equations of motion are solved using the Multiple Scales method. The nonlinear free vibration frequencies are determined.

Nonlinear Free Vibration

Here we present a theoretical analysis on the nonlinear free vibration of a tri-cross string system, which is an element of space net-antennas. We derived the governing equations from Hamilton’s principle and obtained a linearized solution by the standard perturbation method. The semi-analytical solutions of the governing equations have not been provided referring to the solution of plate vibrating problem. This analysis revealed that natural frequencies of the tri-cross string depend on the vibration amplitude due to the geometrical nonlinearity in the constitutive equation. The geometric parameters, such as the diameters and the lengths of the constituent strings, also affect the frequency through the nonlinearity of the tri-cross string. The nonlinear natural frequency shows coupled characteristic; that is, the natural frequency of the tri-cross string varies with that of the constituent strings, but the contribution of each constituent string to the natural frequency is in different proportions.

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.

Nonlinear free vibration of a microstructure has been analyzed in this study. A fluid-conveying microtube is mathematically modeled using non-classical beam theory. Partial differential equation of the model is considered in non-dimensional form. Simply-supported boundaries are taken into account and assuming three vibrating modes, an analytical method is employed to obtain the nonlinear equations of motion. Variational iteration method has been utilized as an analytical solution technique. In order to obtain the nonlinear natural frequencies of the system, analytical expressions are found based on this method. A parametric study is also carried out to investigate the effect of different parameters on the vibration characteristics of the microstructure.

Modified Couple Stress

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.
