Vibrations are ubiquitous in mechanical or biological systems, and they ruinous numerous circumstances. We develop a viscoelastic Timoshenko beam model, which naturally captures distinctive power-law responses arising from broad distribution of time-scales presented the complex internal structures materials so provides very competitive description beams, thick beams subject to high-frequency ex...

Current rapid development in MEMS area has opened up many possibilities in nano-technology such as nano-fabrication. Among them is nanoscale wiring by both AFM (Atomic Force Microscope) tip and laser beam. Being able to make a relatively small deflection, a micro thermal actuator can be used to control the near field optics of the beam minutely and accurately. In this project, we will investiga...

A functionally graded material beam with generalized boundary conditions is contemplated in the present study in order to examine the deformation and stress behavior under thermal and thermo-mechanical load. Three discrete combinations of functionally graded materials have been deliberate in including a wide range of materials and material properties. The variation of material properties has be...
