Vibration suppression of a carbon nanotube–reinforced sandwich beam with magnetorheological fluid core is numerically investigated by employing the differential quadrature method. The beam has functionally graded carbon nanotube–reinforced composite base and constraining layers while its core layer is made of magnetorheological fluid. Four different types of distribution of carbon nanotubes along the thickness direction are considered. The extended rule of mixture is used to explain the effective material properties of the base and constraining layers of the beam. The equations of motion and corresponding boundary conditions are derived by applying Hamilton’s principle, and then these coupled differential equations are transformed into a set of algebraic equation applying the differential quadrature method. Natural frequencies and loss factors are extracted and compared with those available in literature. Convergence study has been performed to verify stability of the method. Effects of various parameters such as magnetic field intensity, mode number, and thickness of the magnetorheological fluid core layer on the natural frequencies and loss factors are studied.

This article proposes a new method for the analysis of free vibration of a cracked isotropic plate with various boundary conditions based on Kirchhoff’s theory. The isotropic plate is assumed to have a part-through surface or internal crack. The crack is considered parallel to one of the plate edges. Existence of the crack modified the governing differential equations which were formulated based on the line-spring model. Generalized differential quadrature method discretizes the obtained governing differential equations and converts them into an algebraic system of equations. Then, an eigenvalue analysis was used to determine the natural frequencies of the cracked plates. Some numerical results are given to demonstrate the accuracy and convergence of the obtained results. To demonstrate the efficiency of the method, the results were compared with finite element solutions and available literature. Also, effects of the crack depth, its location along the thickness, the length of the crack and different boundary conditions on the natural frequencies were investigated.

Abstract In this paper, an appropriate and accurate algorithm is pro- posed to diagnosis of lateral or vertical cracks on beam, based on beam natural frequencies. Clamped-free boundary conditions are assumed for the beam. The crack in beam is modelled by without mass torsion spring. Then, the relationship between the beam natural frequencies, location and stiffness of the crack is presented by using the Rayleigh quotient and the governing equation is solved by using generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM). If there is only one crack in the beam, then three natural frequencies are used as inputs to the algorithm and mode shapes corresponding to each the natural frequencies are calculated. Finally, type, location and severity of cracks in beam, are diagnosed.

The eigenvalue problems of grouped turbo blades were numerically formulated by using the generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM). Different boundary approaches accompanying the GDQM to transform the partial differential equations of grouped turbo blades into a discrete eigenvalue problem are discussed. Effects of the number of sample points and the different boundary approaches on the accuracy of the calculated natural frequencies are also studied. Numerical results demonstrated the validity and the efficiency of the GDQM in treating this type of problem.

In this article, the differential quadrature method (DQM) is used to study the free vibration of functionally graded (FG) thin annular sector plates. The material properties of the FG-plate are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness, according to the power-law distribution. The governing differential equations of motion are derived based on the classical plate theory and solved numerically using DQM. The natural frequencies of thin FG annular sector plates under various combinations of clamped, free, and simply supported boundary conditions are presented for the first time. To ensure the accuracy of the method, the natural frequencies of a pure metallic plate are calculated and compared with those existing in the literature for the homogeneous plate. In this case, the result shows very good agreement. For the FG-plates, the effects of boundary conditions, volume fraction exponent, and variation of Poisson's ratio on the free vibrational behaviour of the plate are studied.

This manuscript investigates the bending vibration dynamic of a single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) based on the theory of non-local elasticity. Fundamental natural frequencies and mode shapes of the SWCNT are computed by using a semi-analytical procedure called differential quadrature method (DQM), which gives accurate results in reference with the exact solution.
