An analytical solution of composite curved I-beam considering the partial interaction in tangential direction under uniform distributed load is obtained. Based on the Vlasov curved beam theory, the global balance condition of the problem has been obtained by means of the principle of virtual work; integrating this by parts, the governing system of differential equations and corresponding boundary conditions have been determined. Analytical expressions for the composite beam considering the partial interaction have been developed. In order to verify the validity and the accuracy of this study, the analytical solutions are presented and compared with other three FEM results using the space beam element and the shell element. The deflection and the tangential slip of the composite curved I-beam are investigated.

This paper presents an analytical solution of the simply supported horizontally composite curved I-beam by trigonometric series considering the effect of partial interaction in the tangential direction. Governing equations and boundary conditions are obtained by using the Vlasov curved beam theory and the principle of minimum potential energy. The deflection functions and the Lagrange multiplier functions are expressed as trigonometric series to satisfy the governing equations and the simply supported constraints at both ends. The numerical results of deflections and forces which are obtained by this method are compared with both FEM results and experimental results, and the inaccuracy between the analytical solutions in this paper and the FEM results is small and reasonable.

Analytical formulation for the evaluation of frequency of CFRP sandwich beam with debond, following the split beam theory, generally underestimates the stiffness, as the contact between the honeycomb core and the skin during vibration is not considered in the region of debond. The validation of the present analytical solution for multiple-debond size is established through 3D finite element analysis, wherein geometry of honeycomb core is modeled as it is, with contact element introduced in the debond region. Nonlinear transient analysis is followed by fast Fourier transform analysis to obtain the frequency response functions. Frequencies are obtained for two types of model having single debond and double debond, at different spacing between them, with debond size up to 40% of beam length. The analytical solution is validated for a debond length of 15% of the beam length, and with the presence of two debonds of same size, the reduction in frequency with respect to that of an intact beam is the same as that of a single-debond case, when the debonds are well separated by three times the size of debond. It is also observed that a single long debond can result in significant reduction in the frequencies of the beam than multiple debond of comparable length.

In the present work, an analytical solution for bound states of the modified Schrödinger equation is found for the new supposed combined Manning-Rosen potential plus the Yukawa class. To overcome the difficulties arising in the case l ≠ 0 in the centrifugal part of the Manning-Rosen potential plus the Yukawa class for bound states, we applied the developed approximation. Analytical expressions for the energy eigenvalue and the corresponding radial wave functions for an arbitrary value l ≠ 0 of the orbital quantum number are obtained. And also obtained eigenfunctions expressed in terms of hypergeometric functions. It is shown that energy levels and eigenfunctions are very sensitive to the choice of potential parameters.

A bellows is a component in piping systems which absorbs mechanical deformation with flexibility. Its geometry is an axially symmetric shell which consists of two toroidal shells and one annular plate or conical shell. In order to analyze the bellows, this study presents the finite element analysis using a conical frustum shell element. A finite element analysis program is developed to analyze various bellows. The formula for calculating the natural frequency of bellows is made by the simple beam theory. The formula for fatigue life is also derived by experiments. A shape optimal design problem is formulated using multiple objective optimization. The multiple objective functions are transformed to a scalar function with weighting factors. The stiffness, strength, and specified stiffness are considered as the multiple objective function. The formulation has inequality constraints imposed on the natural frequencies, the fatigue limit, and the manufacturing conditions. Geometric parameters of bellows are the design variables. The recursive quadratic programming algorithm is utilized to solve the problem.

The dynamical analysis of a rotating thin-walled composite shaft with internal damping is carried out analytically. The equations of motion are derived using the thin-walled composite beam theory and the principle of virtual work. The internal damping of shafts is introduced by adopting the multiscale damping analysis method. Galerkin’s method is used to discretize and solve the governing equations. Numerical study shows the effect of design parameters on the natural frequencies, critical rotating speeds, and instability thresholds of shafts.

This paper presents a Generalised Beam Theory formulation to study the partial interaction behaviour of two-layered prismatic steel–concrete composite beams. The novelty of the proposed approach is in its capacity to handle the deformability of the shear connections at the interface between the slab and steel beam in both the longitudinal and transverse directions in the evaluation of the deformation modes. This method falls within a category of cross-sectional analyses available in the literature for which a suitable set of deformation modes, including conventional, extension and shear, is determined from dynamic analyses of discrete planar frame models representing the cross-section. In this context, the shear connections are modelled using shear deformable spring elements. As a result, the in-plane partial shear interaction behaviour is accounted for in the planar dynamic analysis during the evaluation of the conventional and extension modes, while the longitudinal partial interaction behaviour associated with the shear modes is included in the out-of-plane dynamic analyses. In the case of the conventional modes, the longitudinal slip is accounted for in the post-processing stage where the warping displacements are determined. A numerical example of a composite box girder beam is presented and its structural response investigated for different levels of shear connection stiffness in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. The accuracy of the numerical results is validated against those obtained with a shell finite element model implemented in ABAQUS/Standard software.

The problem of non-stationary vibration of an elastic beam caused by a transverse impact loading is studied in this work. In particular, two different approaches to the derivation of analytical solution of the problem are compared. The first one is based on the Timoshenko beam theory, the latter one follows the exact two-dimensional theory. Both mentioned methods are used for finding the response of an infinite homogeneous isotropic beam. The obtained analytical results are then compared and their agreement is discussed in relation to main factors, i.e. the beam geometry, the character of loading and times and points at which the beams responses are studied.

Purpose: In this study, the free vibration analysis of functionally graded materials (FGMs) sandwich beams having different core metals and thicknesses is considered. The variation of material through the thickness of functionally graded beams follows the power-law distribution. The displacement field is based on the classical beam theory. The wide applications of functionally graded materials (FGMs) sandwich structures in automotive, marine construction, transportation, and aerospace industries have attracted much attention, because of its excellent bending rigidity, low specific weight, and distinguished vibration characteristics. Design/methodology/approach: A mathematical formulation for a sandwich beam comprised of FG core with two layers of ceramic and metal, while the face sheets are made of homogenous material has been derived based on the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. Findings: The main objective of this work is to obtain the natural frequencies of the FG sandwich beam considering different parameters. Research limitations/implications: The important parameters are the gradient index, slenderness ratio, core metal type, and end support conditions. The finite element analysis (FEA), combined with commercial Ansys software 2021 R1, is used to verify the accuracy of the obtained analytical solution results. Practical implications: It was found that the natural frequency parameters, the mode shapes, and the dynamic response are considerably affected by the index of volume fraction, the ratio as well as face FGM core constituents. Finally, the beam thickness was dividing into frequent numbers of layers to examine the impact of many layers' effect on the obtained results. Originality/value: It is concluded, that the increase in the number of layers prompts an increment within the frequency parameter results' accuracy for the selected models. Numerical results are compared to those obtained from the analytical solution. It is found that the dimensionless fundamental frequency decreases as the material gradient index increases, and there is a good agreement between two solutions with a maximum error percentage of no more than 5%.

In this article, an analytical solution is presented for twinning deformation effect of a prismatic shape memory alloy beam-column. To this end, a reduced one-dimensional Souza model is employed to study the bending stress of a pre-strained shape memory alloy beam-column at low temperatures. Analytical expressions for bending stress as well as polynomial approximations for deflection are obtained. Derived equations for bending problem are employed to analyze twinning deformation effect of shape memory alloy beam-columns with rectangular and circular cross sections. Furthermore, the distance of zero-stress fiber from the center line during loading is studied. The results of this work show good agreement when compared with experimental data and finite element results.
