The objective of this study is to investigate the response of an Euler-Bernoulli beam under a force or mass traversing with constant velocity. Simply-supported and clamped-clamped boundary conditions are considered. The linear strain-displacement scenario is applied to both boundary conditions, while the von Kármán nonlinear scenario is applied only to the former boundary condition. The governing equation of motion is derived via the extended Hamilton's principle. Simulations are performed with the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method via Matlab software. The equation of motion is first validated and then used to investigate the effects of the beam second moment of area, the magnitude of the traversing velocity, and centrifugal and gyroscopic forces.

The subject of this paper is the study of dynamics and stability of a pipe flexibly supported at its ends and conveying fluid. First, the equation of motion of the system is derived via the extended form of Hamilton’s principle for open systems. In the derivation, the effect of flexible supports, modelled as linear translational and rotational springs, is appropriately considered in the equation of motion rather than in the boundary conditions. The resulting equation of motion is then discretized via the Galerkin method in which the eigenfunctions of a free-free Euler-Bernoulli beam are utilized. Thus, a general set of second-order ordinary differential equations emerge, in which, by setting the stiffness of the end-springs suitably, one can readily investigate the dynamics of various systems with either classical or non-classical boundary conditions.

AbstractTwo models of vibrations of the Euler–Bernoulli beam under a moving force, based on two different versions of the nonlocal gradient theory of elasticity, namely, the Eringen model, in which the strain is a function of stress gradient, and the nonlocal model, in which the stress is a function of strains gradient, were studied and compared. A dynamic response of a finite, simply supported beam under a moving force was evaluated. The force is moving along the beam with a constant velocity. Particular solutions in the form of an infinite series and some solutions in a closed form as well as the numerical results were presented.

Eringen’s nonlocal differential model has been widely used in the literature to predict the size effect in nanostructures. However, this model often gives rise to paradoxes, such as the cantilever beam under end-point loading. Recent studies of the nonlocal integral models based on Euler–Bernoulli beam theory overcome the aforementioned inconsistency. In this paper, we carry out an analytical study of the bending problem based on Eringen’s two-phase nonlocal model and Timoshenko beam theory, which accounts for a better representation of the bending behavior of short, stubby nanobeams where the nonlocal effect and transverse shear deformation are significant. The governing equations are established by the principal of virtual work, which turns out to be a system of integro-differential equations. With the help of a reduction method, the complicated system is reduced to a system of differential equations with mixed boundary conditions. After some detailed calculations, exact analytical solutions are obtained explicitly for four types of boundary conditions. Asymptotic analysis of the exact solutions reveals clearly that the nonlocal parameter has the effect of increasing the deflections. In addition, as compared with nonlocal Euler–Bernoulli beam, the shear effect is evident, and an additional scale effect is captured, indicating the importance of applying higher-order beam theories in the analysis of nanostructures.

Abstract The principle of modal sensing is based on the use of a shaped PVDF piezoelectric film measuring strains on the surface of a bending beam and acting as a modal filter. So far, the use of this type of sensors has remained confined to studies involving uniform structures with classical boundary conditions. The goal of this paper is to present an experimental methodology for the design of a shaped modal sensor applicable to an non-uniform Euler-Bernoulli beam with arbitrary boundary conditions. This approach is illustrated with test data collected on a cantilever beam structure with a laser Doppler velocimeter.

The influence of axial force on the vibration of Euler-Bernoulli beam structures is analyzed by differential quadrature element method (DQEM) using extended differential quadrature (EDQ). The DQEM uses the differential quadrature to discretize the governing differential eigenvalue equation defined on each element, the transition conditions defined on the inter-element boundary of two adjacent elements and the boundary conditions of the beam. Numerical results solved by the developed numerical algorithm are presented. The convergence of the developed DQEM analysis model is efficient.

The free vibration and instability of fluid-conveying multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are studied based on an Euler-Bernoulli beam model. A theory based on the transfer matrix method (TMM) is presented. The validity of the theory was confirmed for MWCNTs with different boundary conditions. The effects of the fluid flow velocity were studied on MWCNTs with simply-supported and clamped boundary conditions. Furthermore, the effects of the CNTs’ thickness, radius and length were investigated on resonance frequencies. The CNT was found to posses certain frequency behaviors at different geometries. The effect of the damping corriolis term was studied in the equation of motion. Finally, a useful simplification is introduced in the equation of motion.

The dynamic response of a cracked gas-bearing spindle system is studied in this work. A round Euler-Bernoulli beam is used to approximate the spindle system. The stiffness effect of the gas bearing spindle is considered as massless springs and the Hamilton principle is employed to derive the equation of motion for the spindle system. The effects of crack depth, rotation speed and air applied pressure on the dynamic characteristics of a rotating gas-bearing spindle system are studied.
