The Rayleigh’s method can be used to determine the first natural frequency of beams with variable cross-section. The authors analyse multi-segment simply supported beams, symmetrical with respect to their midpoint, having a constant width and variable height. The beams consist generally of five segments. It has been assumed that the neutral bar axis deflected during vibrations has a shape of a beam deflected by a static uniform load. The calculations were made in Mathematica environment and their results are very close to those obtained with FEM.

The article is dedicated to the effect of different modulus of the material on the stress state of a beam of the variable rectangular cross section. The height of the beam varies linearly along its length. Formulas for calculating the maximum compressive and tensile stresses and determining the neutral line are obtained. The maximum tensile and compressive stresses are determined for the clamped and simply supported beams. The dependence of the maximum normal stress on the number of reinforcing bars located in the stretched zones is numerically investigated. The stress state of the beam is compared with and without consideration of the bimodularity of the material for simply supported and cantilever beams. It is shown that taking into account the bimodularity of the material significantly affects the maximum tensile and compressive stresses. The magnitude of the tensile stresses is increased by 30%; the magnitude of the compressive stresses is reduced by 21%. As a bimodular material, fibro foam concrete is considered in work.

In this paper, the nonlinear deflection curve equation of simply supported beam is converted into an algebraic equation based on a new method that combines with the Modified Differential Method and Newton Iteration Method. The conclusion drawn by comparing the analytical solution and numerical results of simply supported beam’s equation with uniform load shows that the method is precise and efficient for solving nonlinear differential equations. We also analyze the case of simply supported beam with variable cross-section and get the same conclusion.

In the present work creeping three-dimensional flows of a viscous liquid in a cylindrical tube and a channel of variable cross-section are studied. A qualitative triangulation of the surface of a cylindrical tube, a smoothed and experimental channel of a variable cross section is constructed. The problem is solved numerically using boundary element method in several modifications for a periodic and non-periodic flows. The obtained numerical results are compared with the analytical solution for the Poiseuille flow.

Variable cross-section rods are used in many parts and mechanisms. For example, conical rods are widely used in percussion mechanisms. The strength of such parts directly depends on the natural frequencies of longitudinal vibrations. The paper presents a method that allows numerically finding the natural frequencies of longitudinal vibrations of an elastic rod with a variable cross section. This method is based on representing the cross-sectional area as an exponential function of a polynomial of degree n. Based on this idea, it was possible to formulate the Sturm-Liouville problem with boundary conditions of the third kind. The linearly independent functions of the general solution have the form of a power series in the variables x and λ, as a result of which the order of the characteristic equation depends on the choice of the number of terms in the series. The presented approach differs from the works of other authors both in the formulation and in the solution method. In the work, a rod with a rigidly fixed left end is considered, fixing on the right end can be either free, or elastic or rigid. The first three natural frequencies for various cross-sectional profiles are given. From the analysis of the numerical results it follows that in a rigidly fixed rod with thinning in the middle part, the first natural frequency is noticeably higher than that of a conical rod. It is shown that with an increase in the rigidity of fixation at the right end, the natural frequencies increase for all cross section profiles. The results of the study can be used to solve inverse problems of restoring the cross-sectional profile from a finite set of natural frequencies.

The piezoelectric vibration energy harvester (PVEH) based on the variable cross-section cantilever beam (VCSCB) structure has the advantages of uniform axial strain distribution and high output power density, so it has become a research hotspot of the PVEH. However, its electromechanical model needs to be further studied. In this paper, the bidirectional coupled distributed parameter electromechanical model of the MEMS VCSCB based PVEH is constructed, analytically solved, and verified, which laid an important theoretical foundation for structural design and optimization, performance improvement, and output prediction of the PVEH. Based on the constructed model, the output performances of five kinds of VCSCB based PVEHs with different cross-sectional shapes were compared and analyzed. The results show that the PVEH with the concave quadratic beam shape has the best output due to the uniform surface stress distribution. Additionally, the influence of the main structural parameters of the MEMS trapezoidal cantilever beam (TCB) based PVEH on the output performance of the device is theoretically analyzed. Finally, a prototype of the Aluminum Nitride (AlN) TCB based PVEH is designed and developed. The peak open-circuit voltage and normalized power density of the device can reach 5.64 V and 742 μW/cm3/g2, which is in good agreement with the theoretical model value. The prototype has wide application prospects in the power supply of the wireless sensor network node such as the structural health monitoring system and the Internet of Things.
