This article presents an analysis of free vibration of elastically supported Timoshenko beams by using the spectral element method. The governing partial differential equation is elaborated to formulate the spectral stiffness matrix. Effectively, the non classical end boundary conditions of the beam are the primordial task to calibrate the phenomenon of the Timoshenko beam-soil foundation inter...

Abstract: It is assumed that a beam made of material has a physical nonlinear behavior. This beam is analyzed under the moving concentrated and distributed continuous loads. The vibration equations of motion are derived from the Hamilton's Principle and Euler–Lagrange Equation. In this study, the amplitude of vibration, circular frequency, bending moment, stress and deflection of the beam has b...

The thermal vibration of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is investigated by using the models of Euler beam and Timoshenko beam with quantum effects taken into consideration when the law of energy equipartition is unreliable. The relation between temperature and the root of mean-squared (RMS) amplitude of thermal vibration at any cross section of the SWCNT is derived via the beam models ...

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, ...

The pounding tuned mass damper (PTMD) is a novel vibration control device that can be used for many different structures. The PTMD utilizes a viscoelastic delimiter to enhance its vibration control effectiveness and robustness though pounding between the tuned mass and the viscoelastic material. However, the viscoelastic material is subjected to repeated poundings during its service life, which...

We present a mathematical framework to provide general well-posedness and approximation results for a laminated curved beam. The layered beam consists of an elastic core layer, symmentric viscoelastic damping layers, symmetric constraining layers and bonded piezoceramic patch pairs on the outer surfaces. The model includes unbounded inputs from the piezoceramic patches, hysteresis and shear in ...

Importance of vibration problems increases with the smaller emittance of a storage ring for synchrotron radiation source. Vertical emittance of the SPring-8 storage ring is so small that effect of vibration to an electron beam can not be neglected. We thus studied the vibration of the SPring-8 storage ring. Measurements of beam oscillation and magnet vibration were done and the relation between...
