During the past few decades, a significant amount of research has been conducted in the area of non-destructive damage evaluation (NDE) based on changes in dynamic properties of a structure. System Identification and damage detection plays a crucial role in structural dynamics and vibro-acoustic system optimization. The later approach is based on the ‘Modal Analysis” The dynamic behaviors of th...

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). ...

In this paper, free vibration analysis of a polymer-based nano-composite beam reinforced by boron-nitride nanotubes and subjected on elastic foundation, is studied. Smooth and defect-free nanotubes with uniform and directly- orientated in matrix are intended. Also, nanotubes’ distribution in the thickness direction of beam is regarded as a uniform distribution of the three different targeted on...

This announcement presents asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues of a free-free uniform Timoshenko beam. Suppose a structural beam is driven by a laterally oscillating sinusoidal force. As the frequency of this applied force is varied, the response varies. Experimental frequencies for which the response is maximized are called natural frequencies of the beam. Our goal is to address the questi...

In this paper we propose an optimal control design technique for a class of nonlinear and control non-affine equations. The dynamic equations of a flexible shaft supported by a pair of active magnetic bearings (AMBs) are used as the nonlinear control nonaffine equations. The basic model of the system will be a Timoshenko beam supported at the ends by magnetic frictionless bearings. The effectiv...

Purpose – To perform the flapwise bending vibration analysis of a rotating cantilever Timoshenko beam. Design/methodology/approach – Kinetic and potential energy expressions are derived step by step. Hamiltonian approach is used to obtain the governing equations of motion. Differential transform method (DTM) is applied to solve these equations. Findings – It is observed that the rIVu term which...

Analytical methods presented to analyze the buried steel pipelines at strike-slip fault crossing use the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The cross-section of a buried pipe that is completely surrounded by soil cannot rotate freely and would not be remained perpendicular to the bending line after deformation. So it would be better to take into consideration a rotation between the cross-section and ...

In this paper we present the first extension of the backstepping methods developed for control of parabolic PDEs (modeling thermal, fluid, and chemical reaction dynamics, including Navier-Stokes equations and turbulence) to secondorder PDE systems (often referred loosely as hyperbolic) which model flexible structures and acoustic. We introduce controller and observer designs capable of adding d...

In this paper, based on Kelvin and Linear Standard Solid models, dynamic response and the buckling load of a viscoelastic beam under  lateral and axial loads have been determined. The governing equations have been extracted using Euler  and Timoshenko theories and their analytical solutions have been obtained by using the eigenfunctions expansion method. Buckling load have been calculated by us...

In this article, the free vibration analysis of magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) Timoshenko micro beam model based on surface stress effect and modified strain gradient theory (MSGT) under moving nano-particle is presented. The governing equations of motion using Hamilton’s principle are derived and these equations are solved using differential quadrature method (DQM). The effects of dimensionless...
