Kinematic Aspects in Modeling Large-Amplitude Vibration of Axially Moving Beams
This paper clarified kinematic aspects of motion of axially moving beams undergoing large-amplitude vibration. The kinematics was formulated in the mixed Eulerian–Lagrangian framework. Based on the kinematic analysis, the governing equations of nonlinear vibration were derived from the extended Hamilton principle and the higher-order shear beam theory. The derivation considered the effects of material parameters on the beam deformation. The proposed governing equations were compared with a few previous governing equations. The comparisons show that proposed equations are with higher precision. Besides, the proposed equations can be viewed as the asymptotic governing equations of Lagrange’s equations of motion for large displacement. Finally, the corresponding boundary conditions and the comparison between the presented model equation and classical model equation were provided.
