This work presents the effect of the elastic foundation and the viscoelastic interface on the dynamic behavior of laminated magneto-electro-elastic rectangular plates with simply supported boundary conditions using the state space method in Laplace domain. The Kelvin-Voigt model is used to take into accounted the viscoelastic interface effects in this domain. The final solution is transferred to the time domain by the Fourier inversion method. The dynamic responses of 3D displacements, stresses, and electric and magnetic displacements are analyzed with respect to the thickness direction and the orthotropic behavior under harmonic stress. A variant of the numerical tests shown the effect of the Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation on a magneto-electro-elastic rectangular plates dynamic behavior and may contribute to optimize the design and the manufacturing of these materials.

The thermopiezoelectrical behavior of a functionally graded piezoelectric medium (FGPM) is investigated in the present work. For the special case, the dynamic response of an FGPM rod excited by a moving heat source is studied. The material properties of the FGPM rod are assumed to vary exponentially through the length, except for specific heat and thermal relaxation time which are held constant for simplicity. The governing differential equations in terms of displacement, temperature, and electric potential are obtained in a general form that includes coupled and uncoupled thermoelasticity. The coupled formulation considers classical thermoelasticity as well as generalized thermoelasticity. Employing the Laplace transform and successive decoupling method, unknowns are given in the Laplace domain. Employing a numerical Laplace inversion method, the solutions are gained in the time domain. Numerical examples for the transient response of the FGPM rod are displayed to clarify the differences among the results of the generalized, coupled, and uncoupled theories for various nonhomogeneity indices. The results are verified with those reported in the literature.

Presented in this study is investigation of dynamic behavior of a helical gear reduction by experimental and numerical methods. A closed-loop test rig is designed to measure vibrations of the example system, and the basic principle as well as relevant signal processing method is introduced. A hybrid user-defined element model is established to predict relative vibration acceleration at the gear mesh in a direction normal to contact surfaces. The other two numerical models are also constructed by lumped mass method and contact FEM to compare with the previous model in terms of dynamic responses of the system. First, the experiment data demonstrate that the loaded transmission error calculated by LTCA method is generally acceptable and that the assumption ignoring the tooth backlash is valid under the conditions of large loads. Second, under the common operating conditions, the system vibrations obtained by the experimental and numerical methods primarily occur at the first fourth-order meshing frequencies and that the maximum vibration amplitude, for each method, appears on the fourth-order meshing frequency. Moreover, root-mean-square (RMS) value of the acceleration increases with the increasing loads. Finally, according to the comparison of the simulation results, the variation tendencies of the RMS value along with input rotational speed agree well and that the frequencies where the resonances occur keep coincident generally. With summaries of merit and demerit, application of each numerical method is suggested for dynamic analysis of cylindrical gear system, which aids designers for desirable dynamic behavior of the system and better solutions to engineering problems.

The paper considers the system "beam - elastic foundation", in which a beam with free edges was at first on a solid elastic foundation, but when a defect suddenly forms in the foundation under the right side of the beam, part of foundation was removed from design model. As a result of calculations performed by the method of initial parameters, the displacements and internal forces for the static problem are determined. The dynamic problem of determining the forces and displacements was solved, taking into account the three vibration loads F (t) = F sinγt applied at arbitrary points d when the conditions for supporting the right side of the beam on an elastic foundation were changed, the values of the dynamics coefficients were determined. Conditions are formulated that must be taken into account when analyzing the dynamic behavior of a structure under the influence of vibration loads in the case of a change in the conditions of bearing on an elastic foundation.

AbstractTethered submerged buoy is used extensively in the field of marine engineering. In this paper considering the effect of wave, the nonlinear dynamics behavior of tethered submerged buoy is debated under wave loadings. According to Newton’s second law, the dynamic of the system is built. The coupling factor of the system is neglected, the natural frequency is calculated. The dynamic responses of the system are analyzed using Runge–Kutta method. Considering the variety of the steepness kA, the phenomenon of dynamic behavior can be periodic, double periodic and quasi-periodic and so on. The bifurcation diagram and the largest Lyapunov exponent are applied to judge the nonlinear characteristic. It is helpful to understand the dynamic behavior of tethered submerged buoy and design the mooring line of tethered submerge buoy.

By using the first order shear deformation theory (FSTD), this paper presents the results of the nonlinear dynamic behavior and natural frequencies of sandwich plate supported by elastic foundations in thermal environment and subjected to mechanical load and blast loading. This work takes advantage of the sandwich plate configuration with three layers: graphene platelet –reinforced composite (GPL) layer – auxetic layer – FGM layer, to analyze the dynamic and vibration problem, in which the auxetic core layer has a negative Poisson's ratios and the FGM layer is reinforced by stiffeners made of full metal or full ceramic depending on a situation of stiffeners at the metal-rich or ceramic-rich side of the plate respectively. Corresponding to the combination of material layers, the mechanical quantities of the problem are processed and calculated to suit the structure and reinforcement conditions. Numerical results are provided to explore the influences of geometrical parameters, elastic foundation parameters, GPL volume fraction, blast and mechanical loads on the nonlinear dynamic behavior and vibration of sandwich plate resting on elastic foundation and in thermal environment. In addition, the study is not only assumed that the material properties depend on environment temperature variation, but also considered the thermal stresses in the stiffeners, as well as considered the effect of imperfections in the original shape of the structure.

 In this paper, the governing equations of rectangular plates with variable thickness subjected to mechanical load are established by using the classical plate theory, the geometrical nonlinearity in von Karman-Donnell sense. Solutions of the problem are derived according to Galerkin method. Nonlinear dynamic responses, critical dynamic loads are obtained by using Runge-Kutta method and the Budiansky–Roth criterion. Effect of volume-fraction index k and some geometric factors are considered and presented in numerical results.
