This paper presents the governing equation of motion, boundary conditions and exact vibration frequencies of a segmented rod where the segments are connected by hinges with elastic rotational springs of constant stiffness. The mass of each segment is assumed to be evenly distributed along the length of the rod. Another discrete model called Hencky bar-chain model (short for HBM; which is equivalent to the finite difference model for discretizing continuous rod) assumes the rod mass to be lumped at the ends instead and a different set of boundary conditions are adopted clamped end. The vibration results of a clamped–clamped segment rod are compared with those of the HBM. It is shown that the HBM underestimates the vibration frequencies when compared to the segmented rod model for a finite number of segments while both models furnish vibration solutions that converge to the solutions of Euler beam for infinitely large number of segments.

Axially Moving

A higher-order mechanical model of axially moving nanoscale beams with time-dependent velocity was developed in the framework of nonlocal stress gradient theory. Based on the correlation between effective and common nonlocal bending moments, a sixth-order partial differential equation of motion with respect to the transverse displacement was derived. Unlike some previous work which assumed the velocity of axially moving nanoscale beam to be a constant, a time-dependent axial velocity was considered for the nanoscale beams. The resonance vibration frequencies were obtained according to the governing equation of motion and corresponding boundary conditions. It was concluded a nonlocal nanoscale strengthening effect that the vibration frequencies of such axially moving nanostructure increase with stronger nonlocal effects, or a larger dimensionless nonlocal nanoscale parameter causes a higher vibration frequency. A jumping phenomenon in frequency field was observed, and the vibration frequency may decrease or increase with an increase in the axial average velocity. Critical speeds of the axially non-uniformly moving nanoscale beams were defined and determined, and the critical speed versus nonlocal nanoscale revealed step and strengthening effects. The theoretical results obtained were compared with some experimental data and good agreement was achieved. Subsequently, the steady-state and stability of such moving nanostructures including the principal parametric and combination resonances were analyzed using a multiple-scale method. Some beneficial analytical procedures and theoretical formulations at nanoscale were provided. Based on specific boundary conditions, the stability boundaries of the axially accelerating nanoscale beams were determined and the unstable regions were influenced by nonlocal nanoscale significantly.

In the Rayleigh-Ritz condensation method the solution of the equation of motion is approximated by a linear combination of shape-functions selected among appropriate sets. Extensive literature dealing with the choice of appropriate basis of shape functions exists, the selection depending on the particular boundary conditions of the structure considered. This paper is aimed at investigating the possibility of adopting a set of eigenfunctions evaluated from a simple stucture as a general basis for the analysis of arbitrary-shaped plates. The results are compared to those available in the literature and using standard finite element analysis.

Abstract The analysis of monolithic and sandwich plates is illustrated for those cases where the boundary conditions are not uniform along the thickness direction, and run at a given position along the thickness direction. For instance, a sandwich plate constrained at the bottom or top face can be considered. The approach relies upon a sublaminate formulation,which is applied here in the context of a Ritz-based approach. Due to the possibility of dividing the structure into smaller portions, viz. the sublaminates, the constraints can be applied at any given location, providing a high degree of flexibility in modeling the boundary conditions. Penalty functions and Lagrange multipliers are introduced for this scope. Results are presented for free-vibration and bending problems. The close matching with highly refined finite element analyses reveals the accuracy of the proposed formulation in determining the vibration frequencies, as well as the internal stress distribution. Reference results are provided for future benchmarking purposes.

Free torsional vibration of cracked carbon nanotubes with elastic torsional boundary conditions is studied. Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory is used in the analysis. Two similar rotation functions are represented by two Fourier sine series. A coefficient matrix including torsional springs and crack parameter is derived by using Stokes’ transformation and nonlocal boundary conditions. This useful coefficient matrix can be used to obtain the torsional vibration frequencies of cracked nanotubes with restrained boundary conditions. Free torsional vibration frequencies are calculated by using Fourier sine series and compared with the finite element method and analytical solutions available in the literature. The effects of various parameters such as crack parameter, geometry of nanotubes, and deformable boundary conditions are discussed in detail.

The free vibration and instability of fluid-conveying multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are studied based on an Euler-Bernoulli beam model. A theory based on the transfer matrix method (TMM) is presented. The validity of the theory was confirmed for MWCNTs with different boundary conditions. The effects of the fluid flow velocity were studied on MWCNTs with simply-supported and clamped boundary conditions. Furthermore, the effects of the CNTs’ thickness, radius and length were investigated on resonance frequencies. The CNT was found to posses certain frequency behaviors at different geometries. The effect of the damping corriolis term was studied in the equation of motion. Finally, a useful simplification is introduced in the equation of motion.

This paper analyzes the free vibration frequencies of a beam on a Winkler–Pasternak foundation via the original Timoshenko–Ehrenfest theory, a truncated version of the Timoshenko–Ehrenfest equation, and a new model based on slope inertia. We give a detailed comparison between the three models in the context of six different sets of boundary conditions. In particular, we analyze the most common combinations of boundary conditions deriving from three typical end constraints, namely the simply supported end, clamped end, and free end. An interesting intermingling phenomenon is presented for a simply-supported (S-S) beam together with proof of the ‘non-existence’ of zero frequencies for free-free (F-F) and simply supported-free (S-F) beams on a Winkler–Pasternak foundation.

This work presents a three-dimensional (3-D) method of analysis for determining the free vibration frequencies and corresponding mode shapes of truncated hollow cones of arbitrary thickness and having arbitrary boundary conditions. It also supplies the first known numerical results from 3-D analysis for such problems. The analysis is based upon the Ritz method. The vibration modes are separated into their Fourier components in terms of the circumferential coordinate. For each Fourier component, displacements are expressed as algebraic polynomials in the thickness and slant length coordinates. These polynomials satisfy the geometric boundary conditions exactly. Because the displacement functions are mathematically complete, upper bound values of the vibration frequencies are obtained that are as close to the exact values as desired. This convergence is demonstrated for a representative truncated hollow cone configuration where six-digit exactitude in the frequencies is achieved. The method is then used to obtain accurate and extensive frequencies for two sets of completely free, truncated hollow cones, one set consisting of thick conical shells and the other being tori having square-generating cross sections. Frequencies are presented for combinations of two values of apex angles and two values of inner hole radius ratios for each set of problems.

Small Scale Effect

In this paper, the boundary condition on free vibration of cantilever single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with Winkler elastic medium is investigated. The Euler beam theory with nonlocal elasticity is modeled as SWCNT. The analytical solution is derived and the numerical results show that the additional boundary conditions from small scale do not change natural frequencies. The reason is that the additional work made by the moment and shear force at the free end from small scale effect cancel each other, the boundary conditions due to local elasticity and nonlocal elasticity are also equivalent. Thus for simplicity, one can apply the local boundary condition to replace the small scale boundary condition.

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.
