this study deals with the applications of a trigonometric shear deformation theory considering the effect of the transverse shear deformation on the static flexural analysis of the soft core sandwich beams. the theory gives realistic variation of the transverse shear stress through the thickness, and satisfies the transverse shear stress free conditions at the top and bottom surfaces of the bea...

In this paper, a nonlocal foundation model is proposed to analyze the vibration and instability of a Y-shaped single-walled carbon nanotube (Y-SWCNT) conveying fluid. In order to achieve more accurate results, fourth order beam theory is utilized to obtain strain-displacement relations. For the first time, a nonlocal model is presented based on nonlocal elasticity and the effects of nonlocal fo...

Deflection analysis of a simply supported microbeam subjected to a concentrated load at the middle is investigated on the basis of a shear deformable beam theory and non-classical theory. Effects of shear deformation and small size are taken into consideration by hyperbolic shear deformable beam theory and modified strain gradient theory, respectively. The governing differential equations and c...

This paper investigates the bending vibration of rotating single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) based on nonlocal theory. To this end, the rotating SWCNTs system modeled as a beam with a circular cross section and the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory (EBT) is applied with added effects such as rotary inertia, gyroscopic effect and rotor mass unbalance. Using nonlocal theory, two coupled sixth orde...

The impetus of this study is to investigate the chaotic behavior of a size-dependent nano-beam with double-sided electrostatic actuation, incorporating surface energy effect and intermolecular interactions. The geometrically nonlinear beam model is based on Euler-Bernoulli beam assumption. The influence of the small-scale and the surface energy effect are modeled by implementing the consistent ...

This paper studies the characteristics of horizontal resonances excited by the beam-beam interaction. First order perturbation theory and simulations show that high order horizontal resonances are exceptionally strong at large amplitudes. The orders of these resonances are so high that they may mistakenly be ignored, and they can result in bad lifetime.
