In this paper, the flow-induced vibration and flutter instability of cantilever carbon nanotubes conveying fluid and modeled as a thin-walled Timoshenko beam are investigated. Analytically nonlocal theory, transverse shear and rotary inertia effects are incorporated in this study. The governing equations and the boundary conditions are derived through Hamilton's principle. Numerical analysis is...

Athermal random fiber networks are usually modeled by representing each fiber as a truss, a Euler-Bernoulli or a Timoshenko beam, and, in the case of cross-linked networks, each cross-link as a pinned, rotating, or welded joint. In this work we study the effect of these various modeling options on the dependence of the overall network stiffness on system parameters. We conclude that Timoshenko ...

In the present work, a finite element model is proposed to describe the response of isotropic and orthotropic beams with piezoelectric actuators due to applied mechanical loads as well as electrical load. The assumed field displacements of the beams are represented by First-order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT), the Timoshenko beam theory. The equation of motion of the smart beam system is deri...

In this paper, we give the first a priori error analysis of the hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) methods for Timoshenko beams. The analysis is based on the use of a projection especially designed to fit the structure of the numerical traces of the HDG method. This property allows to prove in a very concise manner that the projection of the errors is bounded in terms of the distance bet...

The dynamical stability of planar networks of non-uniform Timoshenko beams system is considered. Suppose that the displacement and rotational angle is continuous at the common vertex of this network and the bending moment and shear force satisfies Kirchhoff’s laws, respectively. Timedelay terms exist in control inputs at exterior vertices. The feedback control laws are designed to stabilize thi...

In this paper, the dynamic response of a simply supported beam subjected to moving load is reinvestigated. Based on new theory, slope inertia-based Timoshenko (SIBT), governing equations motion are derived. An analytical solution presented by using coupled Fourier and Laplace–Carson integral transformation method. The finite element also developed compared with solution. Then, comparative study...
