An analytical solution is derived for dynamic response of a modified Timoshenko beam with an infinite length resting on visco-Pasternak foundation subjected to arbitrary excitations. The modified Timoshenko beam model is employed to further consider the rotary inertia caused by the shear deformation of a beam, which is usually neglected by the traditional Timoshenko beam model. By using Fourier and Laplace transforms, the governing equations of motion are transformed from partial differential forms into algebraic forms in the Laplace domain. The analytical solution is then converted into the time domain by applying inverse transforms and convolution theorem. Some widely used loading cases, including moving line loads for nondestructive testing, travelling loads for seismic wave passage, and impulsive load for impact vibration, are also discussed in this paper. The proposed generic solutions are verified by comparing their degraded results to the known solutions in other literature. Several examples are performed to further investigate the differences of the beam responses obtained from the modified and the traditional Timoshenko beam models. Results show that the modified Timoshenko beam simulates the beam responses more accurately than the traditional model, especially under the dynamic loads with a high frequency. The analytical solutions proposed in this paper can be conveniently used for design and applied as an effective tool for practitioners.

In this paper, an analytical solution is proposed for longitudinal dynamic responses of long tunnels under arbitrary excitations. For the derivation, the tunnel is assumed as a Timoshenko beam resting on a visco-Pasternak foundation. The Timoshenko beam theory is employed to consider both effects of the shear distortion as well as the rotary inertia of the tunnel, which are neglected by the Euler–Bernoulli beam. The visco-Pasternak foundation is applied to represent the viscoelastic compressive and shear resistance of soil. The governing equations of motion are transformed from partial differential forms into algebraic forms through integral transformations, and thus the solutions are conveniently obtained. The analytical solutions of the tunnel under several specific dynamic loads, including impulsive loads, moving line loads as well as traveling loads, are presented in detail and verified by comparing to the known degraded solution in literature and finite element results. Several examples are also conducted to investigate the influence of the relative stiffness ratio between the soil and the tunnel structure on the tunnel responses.

The Time Domain

On the basis of fractional viscoelasticity, the size-dependent free-vibration response of viscoelastic carbon nanotubes conveying fluid and resting on viscoelastic foundation is studied in this article. To this end, a nonlocal Timoshenko beam model is developed in the context of fractional calculus. Hamilton’s principle is applied in order to obtain the fractional governing equations including nanoscale effects. The Kelvin–Voigt viscoelastic model is also used for the constitutive equations. The free-vibration problem is solved using two methods. In the first method, which is limited to the simply supported boundary conditions, the Galerkin technique is employed for discretizing the spatial variables and reducing the governing equations to a set of ordinary differential equations on the time domain. Then, the Duffing-type time-dependent equations including fractional derivatives are solved via fractional integrator transfer functions. In the second method, which can be utilized for carbon nanotubes with different types of boundary conditions, the generalized differential quadrature technique is used for discretizing the governing equations on spatial grids, whereas the finite difference technique is used on the time domain. In the results, the influences of nonlocality, geometrical parameters, fractional derivative orders, viscoelastic foundation, and fluid flow velocity on the time responses of carbon nanotubes are analyzed.

Frequency Calculation

For the purpose of precise calculation on intrinsic frequency of the deep-hole boring bar in trepanning heavy-duty processing, a new frequency calculation model is proposed, based on the synthetically investigation of the axial press effects, intermediate supported, Coriolis inertia effects induced by cutting fluid and other relevant various factors of boring bar. The boring bar can be decomposed into the two parts, corresponding to the liquid-solid coupling vibration model inside the work part and Timoshenko beam model outside the work part, respectively. Then assume the whole system as continuous equal span beam model to combine these two parts. Through nesting liquid-solid coupled vibration model (considering cutting fluid velocity) and Timoshenko beam model (containing axial pressure and lateral bending) among the continuous beam model (considering equal span), the precise calculation on intrinsic frequency of the boring system can be completed.

Utilizing the kinematics, presented in the Part I, an active large deformation beam model for slender, flexible, or soft robots is developed from the d'Alembert's principle of virtual work, which is derived for three-dimensional elastic solids from Hamilton's principle. This derivation is accomplished by refining the definition of the Cauchy stress tensor as a vector-valued 2-form to exploit advanced geometrical operations available for differential forms. From the three-dimensional principle of virtual work, both the beam principle of virtual work and beam equations of motion with consistent boundary conditions are derived, adopting the kinematic assumption of rigid cross sections of a deforming beam. In the derivation of the beam model, Élie Cartan's moving frame method is utilized. The resulting large deformation beam equations apply to both passive and active beams. The beam equations are validated with the previously reported results expressed in vector form. To transform passive beams to active beams, constitutive relations for internal actuation are presented in rate form. Then, the resulting three-dimensional beam models are reduced to an active planar beam model. To illustrate the deformation due to internal actuation, an active Timoshenko beam model is derived by linearizing the nonlinear planar equations. For an active, simply supported Timoshenko beam, the analytical solution is presented. Finally, a linear locomotion of a soft inchworm-inspired robot is simulated by implementing active C1 beam elements in a nonlinear finite element (FE) code.
