The development of DQEM solution of structural problems with structures resting on a two-parameter foundation was carried out. The DQEM uses DQ or EDQ to discretize the governing differential equation defined on each element, the transition conditions defined on the inter-element boundary of two adjacent elements and the boundary conditions of the beam. Some EDQ models can be generated by DQ. They are DQ generated EDQ. Numerical results solved by the developed numerical algorithms are presented. The convergence of the developed DQEM analysis models is efficient.

This paper studies stress distribution in a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) under internal pressure with various chirality. Strain gradient theory is used to capture the size-dependent behavior of the SWCNT. Minimum total potential energy principle is successfully applied to derive the governing differential equation and its associated boundary conditions. Due to complexity of the governing differential equation and boundary conditions, numerical scheme is used to solve the problem. Comparing the results based on strain gradient theory and that of classical elasticity shows a major difference between these two methods. However, a close examination of the results indicates that both theories predict the same trend for variations in the radial displacement along the SWCNT radius. Numerical results also indicate that the proposed model can lead into the classical elasticity model, provided the material length scale parameters are taken to be zero. Additionally, for plane strain condition, the radial displacements predicted by strain gradient theory are lower than those predicted by classical elasticity theory. Moreover, numerical results show that in a SWCNT, the non-dimensional radial and circumferential stresses along the wall thickness of the SWCNT increase as the radius is increased. The opposite behavior is true for non-dimensional high-order stresses.

Abstract The development of (DQEM) analysis models of static deformation and free vibration problems of generic non-prismatic beam structures was carried out. The DQEM uses the extended differential quadrature (EDQ) to discretize the buckling equilibrium equation defined on each element, the transition conditions defined on the inter-element boundary of two adjacent elements and the boundary conditions of the beam. Numerical results solved by the developed numerical algorithm are presented. They prove that the DQEM efficient.

A 3D boundary element method for the determination of the acoustic eigenfrequencies of car compartments, characterized by a unified treatment of Robin, Dirichlet, and Neumann boundary conditions, is presented. The drawback of frequency-dependent matrices of the eigenvalue problem is overcome by means of the Particular Integral Method. Thus, the standard numerical algorithms for the extraction of eigenvalues can be applied. The numerical study contains both a comparison of numerical results with analytical solutions of a simple problem with different types of boundary conditions and a comparison of numerical results of a large-scale problem with respective numerical results, computed on the basis of the finite element method. In addition, for the latter example, different numerical algorithms for the eigenvalue extraction are examined.

This paper derives the equations which govern the cyclic bending stresses in the web of a precessing gyro rotor, and discusses methods of solution. These stresses are important because they contribute to fatigue failure. Starting from the well-known partial differential equation describing the free lateral vibration of a thin variable thickness plate in the presence of initial centrifugal stresses, an ordinary differential equation for the mode displacement as a function of radius is obtained. Boundary conditions consist of a light, flexible shaft at the inside diameter of the web and a rigid, heavy rim at the outside diameter of the web. Three methods of solving for the modal functions and resonant frequencies are described. These are 1 Reduction to a matrix-eigenvalue problem by collocation, 2 Reduction to a matrix-eigenvalue problem by finite differences, and 3 An iterative solution based on numerical integration of the differential equation. Newton-Raphson interpolation against the eigenvalue is used to satisfy the boundary conditions. The forced vibration response to steady precession rate is evaluated from the Lagrange equation governing excitation of the fundamental normal coordinate. This coordinate corresponds to the lowest “fan” vibration made of the system, i.e., a mode in which the web has one diametral nodal line and no interior nodal circles. Numerical results show the variation of fan mode frequency with rotor spin rate, using web thickness as a parameter. Maximum radial and tangential bending stresses in the web are plotted against radius, using spin rate as a parameter. The numerical results indicate existence of an optimum rotor spin-rate, at which the allowable precession torque, based on web fatigue, is maximum for a given rotor structure.

The properties of functionally gradient materials (FGM) are closely related to porosity, which has effect on FGM's elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, density, etc. Based on the classical theory of thin plates and Hamilton principle, the mathematical model of free vibration and buckling of FGM porous rectangular plates with compression on four sides is established. Then the dimensionless form of the governing differential equation is also obtained. The dimensionless governing differential equation and its boundary conditions are transformed by differential transformation method (DTM). After iterative convergence, the dimensionless natural frequencies and critical buckling loads of the FGM porous rectangular plate are obtained. The problem is reduced to the free vibration of FGM rectangular plate with zero porosity and compared with its exact solution. It is found that DTM gives high accuracy result. The validity of the method is verified in solving the free vibration and buckling problems of the porous FGM rectangular plates with compression on four sides. The results show that the elastic modulus of FGM porous rectangular plate decreases with the increase of gradient index and porosity. Furthermore, the effects of gradient index and porosity on dimensionless natural frequencies and critical buckling loads are further analyzed under different boundary conditions with constant aspect ratio, and the effects of aspect ratio and load on dimensionless natural frequencies under different boundary conditions.

For constrained-layer damping a simple differential equation for nonsymmetric sandwich plates or beams made of isotropic and homogeneous layers is deduced. The natural boundary conditions associated with this equation are also derived. Typical numerical results are presented including a preliminary comparison with experiment.
