AbstractThis article deals with free vibration of the variable cross-section (non-uniform) single-layered graphene nano-ribbons (SLGNRs) resting on Winkler elastic foundation using the Differential Quadrature Method (DQM). Here characteristic width of the cross-section is varied exponentially along the length of the nano-ribbon while the thickness of the cross section is kept constant. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory in conjunction with Eringen nonlocal elasticity theory is considered in this study. The numerical as well as graphical results are reported by using MATLAB codes developed by authors. Convergence of present method is explored and our results are compared with known results available in literature showing excellent agreement. Further, effects various parameters on frequency parameters are studied comprehensively.

Abstract In this article, free vibration of SingleWalled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) resting on exponentially varying Winkler elastic foundation is investigated by using Differential Quadrature Method (DQM). Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is considered in conjunction with the nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen. Step by step procedure is included and MATLAB code has been developed to obtain the numerical results for different scaling parameters as well as for four types of edge conditions. Obtained results are validated with known results in special cases showing good agreement. Further, numerical as well as graphical results are illustrated to show the effects of nonuniform parameter, nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio,Winkler modulus parameter and edge conditions on the frequency parameters.

AbstractIn this study, free vibration behavior of a multilayered symmetric sandwich beam made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) with variable cross section resting on variable Winkler elastic foundation are investigated. The elasticity and density of the functionally graded (FG) sandwich beam vary through the thickness according to the power law. This law is related to mixture rules and laminate theory. In order to provide this, a 50-layered beam is considered. Each layer is isotropic and homogeneous, although the volume fractions of the constituents of each layer are different. Furthermore, the width of the beam varies exponentially along the length of the beam, and also the beam is resting on an elastic foundation whose coefficient is variable along the length of the beam. The natural frequencies are computed for conventional boundary conditions of the FG sandwich beam using a theoretical procedure. The effects of material, geometric, elastic foundation indexes and slenderness ratio on natural frequencies and mode shapes of the beam are also computed and discussed. Finally, the results obtained are compared with a finite-element-based commercial program, ANSYS®, and found to be consistent with each other.

This paper deals with the determination of the displacements and stresses in a curved cantilever beam. The considered curved beam has circular centerline and the thickness of its cross section depends on the circumferential coordinate. The kinematics of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory are used. The curved elastic beam is fixed at one end and on the other end is subjected to concentrated moment and force; three different loading cases are considered. The paper gives analytical solutions for radial and circumferential displacements and cross-sectional rotation and circumferential stresses. The presented examples can be used as benchmark for the other types of solutions as given in this paper.

Variable cross-section rods are used in many parts and mechanisms. For example, conical rods are widely used in percussion mechanisms. The strength of such parts directly depends on the natural frequencies of longitudinal vibrations. The paper presents a method that allows numerically finding the natural frequencies of longitudinal vibrations of an elastic rod with a variable cross section. This method is based on representing the cross-sectional area as an exponential function of a polynomial of degree n. Based on this idea, it was possible to formulate the Sturm-Liouville problem with boundary conditions of the third kind. The linearly independent functions of the general solution have the form of a power series in the variables x and λ, as a result of which the order of the characteristic equation depends on the choice of the number of terms in the series. The presented approach differs from the works of other authors both in the formulation and in the solution method. In the work, a rod with a rigidly fixed left end is considered, fixing on the right end can be either free, or elastic or rigid. The first three natural frequencies for various cross-sectional profiles are given. From the analysis of the numerical results it follows that in a rigidly fixed rod with thinning in the middle part, the first natural frequency is noticeably higher than that of a conical rod. It is shown that with an increase in the rigidity of fixation at the right end, the natural frequencies increase for all cross section profiles. The results of the study can be used to solve inverse problems of restoring the cross-sectional profile from a finite set of natural frequencies.

Openings in enclosures or walls are frequently the dominant path for sound propagation. In the current work, a transfer matrix method is used to predict the transmission loss of apertures assuming that the cross-sectional dimensions are small compared with an acoustic wavelength. Results are compared with good agreement to an acoustic finite element approach in which the loading on the source side of the finite element model (FEM) is a diffuse acoustic field applied by determining the cross-spectral force matrix of the excitation. The radiation impedance for both the source and termination is determined using a wavelet algorithm. Both approaches can be applied to leaks of any shape and special consideration is given to apertures with varying cross section. Specifically, cones and abrupt area changes are considered, and it is shown that the transmission loss can be increased by greater than 10 dB at many frequencies.

In this work, the flexibility properties of variable cross section beams are derived, through the application of the second theorem of Castigliano; considering the complementary energy by bending and share forces. To perform the integration of the flexibility coefficients, a numerical method, which considers the discretization of the beam domain with first order rectangular finite elements, in conjunction with the Gauss rule, is proposed. At the end of the work, the proposed method is applied to a tapered beam that has been discretized with a maximum of five finite elements. It is shown that the method is general, and that it can be applied to beams of variable section in which the cross section can be complex. The results shown that no more than 3 finite elements are needed to discretize the domain of beams in which, the ratio height-length is of the order of ten.
