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...

Abstract: In the present article, a semi-analytical technique to investigate free bending vibration behavior of axially functionally graded non-prismatic Timoshenko beam subjected to a point force at both ends is developed based on the power series expansions. The beam is assumed to be made of linear elastic and isotropic material with constant Poisson ratio. Material properties including the ...

The problem of characterizing response variability and assessing reliability of vibrating skeletal structures made up of randomly inhomogeneous, curved/straight Timoshenko beams is considered. The excitation is taken to be random in nature. A frequency-domain stochastic "nite element method is developed in terms of dynamic sti!ness coe$cients of the constituent stochastic beam elements. The dis...

In this paper, we study the flexural vibration behavior of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) for the assessment of Timoshenko beam models. Extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on second-generation reactive empirical bond-order (REBO) potential and Timoshenko beam modeling are performed to determine the vibration frequencies for SWCNTs with various length-todiameter ratios, ...

free vibration analysis of higher-order shear deformation beam resting on one- and two-parameter elasticfoundation is studied using differential transform method (dtm) as a part of a calculation procedure. first,the governing differential equations of beam are derived in a general form considering the shear-freeboundary conditions (zero shear stress conditions at the top and bottom of a beam). ...
