In this paper, an analytical model based on the modified couple stress theory and Timoshenko beam is developed to study vibrational power flow of a microbeam with crack. The open edge crack modeled as rotational spring, which connects two segments separated by location. governing equations cracked are derived from Hamilton's principle. By introducing differential operator method, transformed in...

In this study, flapwise bending vibration analysis of a tapered Timoshenko beam mounted on the periphery of a rotating rigid hub is performed. The governing differential equations of motion for pure bending are derived using the Hamilton’s principle and solved using the Differential Transform Method, DTM. During the derivation of the equations, effects of rotary inertia, shear deformation and h...

This paper deals with the design of a periodic output feedback controller for a flexible beam structure modeled with Timoshenko beam theory, Finite Element Method, State space methods and embedded piezoelectrics concept. The first 3 modes are considered in modeling the beam. The main objective of this work is to control the vibrations of the beam when subjected to an external force. Shear piezo...

In this paper, exact solution for two-plane transverse vibration analysis of axial-loaded multi-step Timoshenko rotor carrying concentrated masses is presented. Each attached element is considered to have both translational and rotational inertia. Forward and backward frequencies and corresponding modes are obtained using transfer matrix method (TMM). The effect of the angular velocity of spin,...

in this article, the bending and free vibration analysis of functionally graded (fg) nanocomposites timoshenko beam model reinforced by single-walled boron nitride nanotube (swbnnt) using micro-mechanical approach embedded in an elastic medium is studied. the modified coupled stress (mcst) and nonlocal elasticity theories are developed to take into account the size-dependent effect. the mechani...

In this paper, nonlinear vibration analysis of functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) beam with porosities material is investigated based on the Timoshenko beam theory. Material properties of FG porous beam are described according to the rule of mixture which modified to approximate material properties with porosity phases. The Ritz method is used to obtain the governing equation which is then...

This study presents a modified continuum model to investigate the vibration behavior of single and multi-carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Two parameters are exploited to consider size dependence; one derived from the energy equivalent model and the other from the modified couple stress theory. The energy equivalent model, derived from the basis of molecular mechanics, is exploited to describe size-depe...
