The transverse vibration of a nanobeam subject to initial axial compressive forces based on nonlocal elasticity theory is investigated. The effects of a small nanoscale parameter at molecular level unavailable in classical mechanics theory are presented and analyzed. Explicit solutions for natural frequency, vibration mode shapes are derived through two different methods: separation of variables and multiple scales. The respective numerical solutions are in close agreement. Validity of the models and approaches presented in the work are verified. Unlike the previous studies for a nonlocal nanostructure, this paper adopts the effective nonlocal bending moment instead of the pure traditional nonlocal bending moment. The analysis yields an infinite-order differential equation of motion which governs the vibrational behaviors. For practical analysis and as examples, an eight-order governing differential equation of motion is solved and the results are discussed. The paper presents a complete nonlocal nanobeam model and the results may be helpful for the application and design of various nano-electro-mechanical devices, e.g. nano-drivers, nano-oscillators, nano-sensors, etc., where a nanobeam acts as a basic element.

This paper investigates the voltage response of superharmonic resonance of the second order of electrostatically actuated nano-electro-mechanical system (NEMS) resonator sensor. The structure of the NEMS device is a resonator cantilever over a ground plate under Alternating Current (AC) voltage. Superharmonic resonance of second order occurs when the AC voltage is operating in a frequency near-quarter the natural frequency of the resonator. The forces acting on the system are electrostatic, damping and Casimir. To induce a bifurcation phenomenon in superharmonic resonance, the AC voltage is in the category of hard excitation. The gap distance between the cantilever resonator and base plate is in the range of 20 nm to 1 μm for Casimir forces to be present. The differential equation of motion is converted to dimensionless by choosing the gap as reference length for deflections, the length of the resonator for the axial coordinate, and reference time based on the characteristics of the structure. The Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) and Reduced Order Model (ROM) are used to model the characteristic of the system. MMS transforms the nonlinear partial differential equation of motion into two simpler problems, namely zero-order and first-order. ROM, based on the Galerkin procedure, uses the undamped linear mode shapes of the undamped cantilever beam as the basis functions. The influences of parameters (i.e. Casimir, damping, fringe, and detuning parameter) were also investigated.

Transverse Vibrations

This paper deals with transverse vibrations of axisymmetrical annular plates of concave parabolic thickness. A closed-form solution of the partial differential equation of motion is reported. An approach in which both method of multiple scales and method of factorization have been employed is presented. The method of multiple scales is used to reduce the partial differential equation of motion to two simpler partial differential equations that can be analytically solved. The solutions of the two differential equations are two levels of approximation of the exact solution of the problem. Using the factorization method for solving the first differential equation, which is homogeneous and includes a fourth-order spatial-dependent operator and second-order time-dependent operator, the general solution is obtained in terms of hypergeometric functions. The first diferential equation and the second differential equation (nonhomogeneous) along with the given boundary conditions give so-called zero-order and first-order approximations, respectively, of the natural frequencies and mode shapes. Any boundary conditions could be considered. The influence of Poisson’s ratio on the natural frequencies and mode shapes could be further studied using the first-order approximations reported here. This approach can be extended to nonlinear, and/or forced vibrations.

The Hamilton Jacobi theory is used to obtain the fractional Hamilton-Jacobi function for fractional damped systems. The technique of separation of variables is applied here to solve the Hamilton Jacobi partial differential equation for fractional damped systems. The fractional Hamilton-Jacobi function is used to construct the wave function and then to quantize these systems using fractional WKB approximation. The solution of the illustrative example is found to be in exact agreement with the usual classical mechanics for regular Lagrangian when fractional derivatives are replaced with the integer order derivatives and r-0 .

This paper investigates the frequency response of superharmonic resonance of the second order of electrostatically actuated nano-electro-mechanical system (NEMS) resonator sensor. The structure of the MEMS device is a resonator cantilever over a ground plate under Alternating Current (AC) voltage. Superharmonic resonance insinuates that the AC voltage is operating in a frequency near one-fourth the natural frequency of the resonator. The forces acting on the system are electrostatic, damping and Casimir force. For the electrostatic force, the AC voltage is in the category of hard excitation in order to induce a bifurcation phenomenon. For Casimir forces to affect the system, the gap distance between the cantilever resonator and base plate is in the range of 20 nm to 1 μm. The differential equation of motion is converted to dimensionless by choosing the gap as reference length for deflections, the length of the resonator for the axial coordinate, and reference time based on the characteristics of the structure.

Natural Frequency Analysis

Deepwater surface BOP (surface blowout prevention, SBOP) drilling differs from conventional riser drilling system. To analyze the dynamic response of this system, the riser-conductor was considered as a beam with varied cross-sections subjected to loads throughout its length; then an equation of motion and free vibration of the riser-conductor string for SBOP was developed. The finite difference method was used to solve the equation of motion in time domain and a semianalytical approach based on the concept of section division and continuation was proposed to analyze free vibration. Case simulation results show that the method established for SBOP system natural frequency analysis is reasonable. The mode shapes of the riser-conductor are different between coupled and decoupled methods. The soil types surrounding the conductor under mudline have tiny effect on the natural frequency. Given that some papers have discussed the response of the SBOP riser, this work focused on the comparison of the dynamic responses on the wellhead and conductor with variable conditions. The dynamic lateral displacement, the bending moment, and the parameters’ sensitivity of the wellhead and the conductor were analyzed.

The Difference

One of the most important phenomena related to electrically actuated micro and nano electromechanical systems (MEMS\NEMS) is dynamic pull-in instability which occurs when the electrical attraction and beam inertia forces are more than elastic restoring force of the beam. According to failure of classical mechanics constitutive equations in prediction of dynamic behavior of small size systems, nonlocal theory is implemented here to analyze the dynamic pull-in behavior. Equation of motion of an electrostatically actuated micro to nano scale doubly clamped beam is rewritten using differential form of nonlocal theory constitutive equation. To analyze the nonlocal effect equation of motion is nondimentionalized. Governing partial differential equation is transformed to an ordinary differential equation using the Galerkin decomposition method and then is solved implementing differential quadrature method (DQM). Change of dynamic pull-in voltage with respect to size change is investigated. Results indicate as the beam length decreases dynamic pull-in voltage increases due to nonlocal effect and the difference with clasical mechanics results is up to 20% for nano beams.

This work investigates the voltage response of superharmonic resonance of second order of electrostatically actuated Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) resonator cantilevers. The results of this work can be used for mass sensors design. The MEMS device consists of MEMS resonator cantilever over a parallel ground plate (electrode) under Alternating Current (AC) voltage. The AC voltage is of frequency near one fourth of the natural frequency of the resonator which leads to the superharmonic resonance of second order. The AC voltage produces an electrostatic force in the category of hard excitations, i.e. for small voltages the resonance is not present while for large voltages resonance occurs and bifurcation points are born. The forces acting on the resonator are electrostatic and damping. The damping force is assumed linear. The Casimir effect and van der Waals effect are negligible for a gap, i.e. the distance between the undeformed resonator and the ground plate, greater than one micrometer and 50 nanometers, respectively, which is the case in this research. The dimensional equation of motion is nondimensionalized by choosing the gap as reference length for deflections, the length of the resonator for the axial coordinate, and reference time based on the characteristics of the structure. The resulting dimensionless equation includes dimensionless parameters (coefficients) such as voltage parameter and damping parameter very important in characterizing the voltage-amplitude response of the structure. The Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) is used to find a solution of the differential equation of motion. MMS transforms the nonlinear partial differential equation of motion into two simpler problems, namely zero-order and first-order. In this work, since the structure is under hard excitations the electrostatic force must be in the zero-order problem. The assumption made in this investigation is that the dimensionless amplitudes are under 0.4 of the gap, and therefore all the terms in the Taylor expansion of the electrostatic force proportional to the deflection or its powers are small enough to be in the first-order problem. This way the zero-order problem solution includes the mode of vibration of the structure, i.e. natural frequency and mode shape, resulting from the homogeneous differential equation, as well as particular solutions due to the nonhomogeneous terms. This solution is then used in the first-order problem to find the voltage-amplitude response of the structure. The influences of frequency and damping on the response are investigated. This work opens the door of using smaller AC frequencies for MEMS resonator sensors.

This paper deals with two different methods to analyze the amplitude frequency response of an electrostatically actuated micro resonator. The methods used in this paper are the method of multiple scales, which is an analytical method with one mode of vibration. The other method is based on system of odes which is derived using the partial differential equation of motion, as well as the boundary conditions.

This paper presents an approach for finding the solution of the partial differential equation of motion of the non-axisymmetrical transverse vibrations of axisymmetrical circular plates of convex parabolical thickness. This approach employed both the method of multiple scales and the factorization method for solving the governing partial differential equation. The solution has been assumed to be harmonic angular-dependent. Using the method of multiple scales, the partial differential equation has been reduced to two simpler partial differential equations which can be analytically solved and which represent two levels of approximation. Solving them, the solution resulted as first-order approximation of the exact solution. Using the factorization method, the first differential equation, homogeneous and consisting of fourth-order spatial-dependent and second-order time-dependent operators, led to a general solution in terms of hypergeometric functions. Along with given boundary conditions, the first differential equation and the second differential equation, which was nonhomogeneous, gave respectively so-called zero-order and first-order approximations of the natural frequencies and mode shapes. Any boundary conditions could be considered. The influence of Poisson’s ratio on the natural frequencies and mode shapes. Any boundary conditions could be considered.
