The article is dedicated to the effect of different modulus of the material on the stress state of a beam of the variable rectangular cross section. The height of the beam varies linearly along its length. Formulas for calculating the maximum compressive and tensile stresses and determining the neutral line are obtained. The maximum tensile and compressive stresses are determined for the clamped and simply supported beams. The dependence of the maximum normal stress on the number of reinforcing bars located in the stretched zones is numerically investigated. The stress state of the beam is compared with and without consideration of the bimodularity of the material for simply supported and cantilever beams. It is shown that taking into account the bimodularity of the material significantly affects the maximum tensile and compressive stresses. The magnitude of the tensile stresses is increased by 30%; the magnitude of the compressive stresses is reduced by 21%. As a bimodular material, fibro foam concrete is considered in work.

The Rayleigh’s method can be used to determine the first natural frequency of beams with variable cross-section. The authors analyse multi-segment simply supported beams, symmetrical with respect to their midpoint, having a constant width and variable height. The beams consist generally of five segments. It has been assumed that the neutral bar axis deflected during vibrations has a shape of a beam deflected by a static uniform load. The calculations were made in Mathematica environment and their results are very close to those obtained with FEM.

Here is solved the optimization problem for the longitudinal depth distribution in the beam with a limitation on the maximum value of deflection. A review of the references is done, and it is shown that the known solutions are either erroneous, because they are based on false hypotheses, or have a narrow field of application, limited only to symmetrical constructions for which the point of the maximum deflection is known a priori. The paper considers a beam of the rectangular cross-section of constant width. The beam is assumed to be statically determinate, and the load is arbitrary and asymmetric and multidirectional as well. The points (or point) of the beam maximum deflections are unknown in advance and would be determined in the problem-solution procedure. A linear problem is considered. The optimization criterion is the mass of the beam. To find the deflections of the beam, i.e. to solve the differential equation of a variable cross-section beam bending the finite difference method is used. The design problem is reduced to the required beam depths obtaining in the system of nodal points. In this case, the desired solution must satisfy the restriction system for the nodal points shift and the sign of variables as well. Since the restrictions of the shift of each node are considered separately and independently, so the proposed method allows flexible control of the beam shift restrictions. Using the change of variables proposed in the paper, the problem to be solved is reduced to a nonlinear programming problem where the criterion function is separable and restrictions are linear functions. Using linearization, this problem can be reduced to the linear programming problem relatively to new variables. The model problem is solved, and it is shown that the proposed algorithm efficiently allows us to solve the problems of the beam optimal design with the restrictions of the maximally allowed deflection. The proposed approach can be spread for the strength limitations, for beams of variable width, I-beam cross-section, etc.

Abstract Simply supported short Castolite beams of uniform rectangular cross section were subjected to central transverse impact by a heavy mass. Photoelastic streak photographs were taken of the transverse section of symmetry for a wide range of spans, widths, and impact velocities at exposures of less than 1 microsec. The maximum tensile stresses were determined. Comparison with the elementary theory for long beams shows that while this theory is satisfactory for long beams, it does not agree with the results from short beams. An approximate theory for short beams under central impact is developed which gives satisfactory agreement. The duration of impact also was determined and the appearance of isotropic points is discussed.

In the present work creeping three-dimensional flows of a viscous liquid in a cylindrical tube and a channel of variable cross-section are studied. A qualitative triangulation of the surface of a cylindrical tube, a smoothed and experimental channel of a variable cross section is constructed. The problem is solved numerically using boundary element method in several modifications for a periodic and non-periodic flows. The obtained numerical results are compared with the analytical solution for the Poiseuille flow.

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.
