In this article, the effects of some parameters, including rotary inertia, non-local parameter, and length-to-thickness ratio, on natural frequencies are studied for both classical and non-local theories. For Timoshenko beam, the equations of motion and the boundary conditions are derived from Hamilton’s principle and then non-local constitutive equations of Eringen are employed to altogether formulate the problem. Afterward, obtained governing equations are used to study the free vibrations of a Timoshenko’s simply supported nano-beam. And finally, the effects of above-mentioned parameters on estimated frequencies in classical and non-local elasticity theories are investigated. Results show that the discrepancy between the frequencies of higher-order vibration modes obtained from two theories increases and also significant reductions in natural frequencies occur when the rotary inertia is considered in the computations.

Governing equations for free vibrations of thin orthotropic or isotropic helicoidal plates are formulated by expressing displacements in terms of components in a helical orthogonal coordinate system. Equations derived for isotropic helicoidal plates are applied to the vibration problem of twisted rectangular turbine blades without camber. These twisted cantilever rectangular blades are simulated to be isotropic helicoidal plates with their angles of twist approximated to be their centre-line helical angles. Natural frequencies are calculated by solving the eigenvalue problem using the finite difference method and are compared to experimental measurements reported in the literature. Reasonably good agreement has been found for flexural modes; however, some discrepancies have also been observed for higher-order modes due to the inaccuracy of modelling the blade geometry as that of a helicoidal plate and due to the approximation of assuming the angle of twist to be the helical angle.

The vibration behavior of piezoelectric microbeams is studied on the basis of the modified couple stress theory. The governing equations of motion and boundary conditions for the Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam models are derived using Hamilton’s principle. By the exact solution of the governing equations, an expression for natural frequencies of microbeams with simply supported boundary conditions is obtained. Numerical results for both beam models are presented and the effects of piezoelectricity and length scale parameter are illustrated. It is found that the influences of piezoelectricity and size effects are more prominent when the length of microbeams decreases. A comparison between two beam models also reveals that the Euler-Bernoulli beam model tends to overestimate the natural frequencies of microbeams as compared to its Timoshenko counterpart.

This paper investigates free transverse vibrations of finite Euler–Bernoulli beams resting on viscoelastic Pasternak foundations. The differential quadrature methods (DQ) are applied directly to the governing equations of the free vibrations. Under the simple supported boundary condition, the natural frequencies of the transverse vibrations are calculated, and compared with the results of the complex mode analysis method. The numerical results obtained by using the DQ and the complex mode methods are in good agreement for the first seven order natural frequencies, but with the growth of the orders, the small quantitative differences between them increase. The effects of the foundation parameters on the natural frequencies are also studied in numerical examples.

In order to improve the spherical thin shells’ vibrations analysis, we introduce a new analytical method. In this method, we take into consideration the terms of the inertial couples in the stress couples’ differential equations of motion. These inertial couples are omitted in the theories provided by Naghdi–Kalnins and Kunieda. The results show that the current method can solve the axisymmetric vibrations’ equations of elastic thin spherical shells. In this paper, we focus on verifying the current method, particularly for free vibrations with free edge and clamped edge boundary conditions. To check the validity and accuracy of the current analytical method, the natural frequencies determined by this method are compared with those available in the literature and those obtained by a finite element calculation.

This paper is concerned with the vibrational characteristics of pre-twisted cantilever beams of uniform rectangular cross-section allowing for shear deformation and rotary inertia. A method of solution of the differential equations of motion allowing for shear deformation and rotary inertia is presented which is an extension of the method introduced by Dawson (1)§ for the solution of the differential equations of motion of pre-twisted beams neglecting shear and rotary inertia effects. The natural frequencies for the first five modes of vibration are obtained for beams of various breadth to depth ratios and lengths ranging from 3 to 20 in and pre-twist angle in the range 0–90°. The results are compared with those obtained by an alternative method (2), where available, and also to experimental results.

In this article, electro-thermal transverse vibration behaviour of double-walled boron nitride nanotubes embedded in a surrounded elastic medium is investigated using non-local piezoelasticity cylindrical shell theory. The effects of the elastic medium including Winkler spring and Pasternak shear constants and van der Waals interaction between inner and outer nanotubes are taken into account. The higher order governing equations of motion are derived based on Hamilton's principle. Effects of parameters such as Winkler spring constant, Pasternak shear constant, electric field, and temperature change on the dimensionless natural frequency are investigated. The results indicate a decrease in the dimensionless natural frequency as both temperature change and electric field are increased for various aspect ratios. However, the decreasing trend is significant for the former and may be considered constant for the latter.

AbstractThis paper investigates the in-plane free vibrations of multi-stepped and multi-damaged parabolic arches, for various boundary conditions. The axial extension, transverse shear deformation and rotatory inertia effects are taken into account. The constitutive equations relating the stress resultants to the corresponding deformation components refer to an isotropic and linear elastic material. Starting from the kinematic hypothesis for the in-plane displacement of the shear-deformable arch, the equations of motion are deduced by using Hamilton’s principle. Natural frequencies and mode shapes are computed using the Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method. The variable radius of curvature along the axis of the parabolic arch requires, compared to the circular arch, a more complex formulation and numerical implementation of the motion equations as well as the external and internal boundary conditions. Each damage is modelled as a combination of one rotational and two translational elastic springs. A parametric study is performed to illustrate the influence of the damage parameters on the natural frequencies of parabolic arches for different boundary conditions and cross-sections with localizeddamage.Results for the circular arch, derived from the proposed parabolic model with the derivatives of some parameters set to zero, agree well with those published over the past years.

The natural frequencies of lateral vibration of a long drill string in static tension under its own weight are primarily the same as those of the equivalent catenary. These frequencies and the mode shapes are affected to a certain extent by the bending stiffness and to a greater extent by the static deflection curve due to lateral deflection of the bottom end. In this paper, the governing equations are derived and general solutions are given in an asymptotic expansion with the bending stiffness as the parameter. Specific numerical results are given in dimensionless form for the first three natural frequencies for a very wide range of horizontal tension and several appropriate values of bending stiffness for zero vertical static force at the bottom.

The natural frequencies of free vibrations for thick cylindrical shells with clamped-clamped ends conveying fluid are investigated. Equations of motion and boundary conditions are derived by Hamilton’s principle based on the new high order shell theory. The hydrodynamic force is derived from the linearized potential flow theory. Besides, fluid pressure acting on the shell wall is gotten by the assumption of non-penetration condition. The out-of-plane and in-plane vibrations are coupled together due to the existence of fluid-solid-interaction (FSI). Under the assumption of harmonic motion, the dispersion relationships are presented. Using the method of frequency sweeping, the natural frequencies of symmetric modes and asymmetric modes corresponding to each flow velocity are found by satisfying the dispersion relationship equations and boundary conditions. Several numerical examples with different flow velocities and thickness are presented compared with previous thin shell theory and FEM results and show reasonable agreement. The effects of thickness are discussed.

In this article, the well-posedness of several common nonlocal models for higher-order refined shear deformation beams is studied. Unlike the case of classic beams models, both strain-driven and stress-driven purely nonlocal theories lead to an ill-posed issue (i.e., there are excessive mandatory boundary conditions) when considering higher-order shear deformation assumption. As an effective remedy, the well-posedness of strain-driven and stress-driven two-phase nonlocal (StrainDTPN and StressDTPN) models is pertinently evidenced by studying the free vibration problem of nanobeams. The governing equations of motion and standard boundary conditions are derived from Hamilton’s principle. The integral constitutive relation is transformed equivalently to a differential form equipped with two constitutive boundary conditions. Using the generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM), the governing equations in terms of displacements are solved numerically. Numerical results show that both the StrainDTPN and StressDTPN models can predict consistent size-effects of beams with different boundary conditions.
