In this article, the axial vibrations of a rod with a clamped end and the transversal vibrations of a cantilever beam, both with a time-dependent and non-harmonic force applied on their free ends, are analysed. These are problems in which the traction and the shear, for the rod and the beam, respectively, prescribed in the boundaries of the bodies vary with time. The problems can be solved by the method proposed by Mindlin and Goodman. However, it is usual to solve this problem by the classic variable-separation method (which does not properly fulfil the time-dependent boundary conditions). The displacements and the forces along the systems are derived from both cited methods, and the results are compared. These results highlight the importance of using the proper solution method for the vibration problems with time-dependent boundary conditions.

In this paper, a variable-coefficient time fractional heat-like and wave-like equation with initial and boundary conditions is solved by the use of variable separation method and the properties of Mittag-Leffler function. As a result, exact solutions are obtained, from which some known special solutions are recovered. It is shown that the variable separation method can also be used to solve some others time fractional heat-like and wave-like equation in science and engineering.

In this paper, variable separation method combined with the properties of Mittag-Leffler function is used to solve a variable-coefficient time fractional advection-dispersion equation with initial and boundary conditions. As a result, a explicit exact solution is obtained. It is shown that the variable separation method can provide a useful mathematical tool for solving the time fractional heat transfer equations.

Abstract A procedure is described for extending the method of separation of variables to the solution of beam-vibration problems with time-dependent boundary conditions. The procedure is applicable to a wide variety of time-dependent boundary-value problems in systems governed by linear partial differential equations.

Abstract Vibration problems of beams with time-dependent boundary conditions are solved by the method of Laplace transforms. The problems treated include the simply supported, cantilevered, and fixed beams carrying a single arbitrarily placed mass; two equal masses symmetrically placed on a simply supported or fixed-end beam and a beam carrying a mass at the center and two equal masses at tips, striking a spring.

Load identification is very important in engineering practice. In this paper, a novel method for load reconstruction and localization is proposed. In the traditional load localization method, location information is coupled to the impulse response matrix. The inversion of the impulse response matrix leads the process of load localization to be time-consuming. So we propose a variable separation method to separate the load location information from the impulse response matrix. An error optimization function of load histories in different modes is employed to determine the true load location. After locating the external load, the load time history can be easily reconstructed by the measurement responses and determinate impulse response matrix. This method is verified by simulations of a simply supported beam acted by a sine load and an impact separately. An experiment is also carried out to validate the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed method.
