In this paper, a size-dependent formulation for the Bernoulli-Euler beam is developed based on a new model of couple stress theory presented by Hadjesfandiari and Dargush. The constitutive equation obtained in this new model, consists of only one length scale parameter that is capable of capturing the micro-structural size effect in predicting the mechanical behavior of the structure. Having on...

Bernoulli polynomials play an important role in various expansions and approximation formulas which are useful both in analytic theory of numbers and the classical and the numerical analysis. These polynomials can be defined by various methods depending on the applications. There are six approaches to the theory of Bernoulli polynomials. We prefer here the definition by generating functions giv...

the static pull-in instability of beam-type micro-electromechanical systems is theoretically investigated. two engineering cases including cantilever and double cantilever micro-beam are considered. considering the mid-plane stretching as the source of the nonlinearity in the beam behavior, a nonlinear size-dependent euler-bernoulli beam model is used based on a modified couple stress theory, c...

Non-prismatic beams have received great attention from engineers due to their capability in optimizing the strength and weight of the structure. In recent years, many researchers have worked on engineering problems related to static and dynamic analysis of either Euler–Bernoulli [1–3] or Timoshenko [4,5] beams. For short thick beams and rotating machineries, the Timoshenko beam theory presents ...

Hurwitz found the Fourier expansion of the Bernoulli polynomials over a century ago. In general, Fourier analysis can be fruitfully employed to obtain properties of the Bernoulli polynomials and related functions in a simple manner. In addition, applying the technique of Möbius inversion from analytic number theory to Fourier expansions, we derive identities involving Bernoulli polynomials, Ber...

in this paper effects of fractured sleepers on rail track vibration under moving wheelset have been investigated. two parallel rails of the track have been modeled as euler-bernoulli beams on elastic points as rail pads. also sleepers have been modeled as visco-elastic euler-bernoulli beams. it is assumed that, some sleepers under the rail track have been fractured and modeled by two beams. the...

In 2008, Liu and Wang established various symmetric identities for Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi polynomials. In this paper, we extend these identities in a unified and generalized form to families of Hermite-Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi polynomials. The procedure followed is that of generating functions. Some relevant connections of the general theory developed here with the results obtained ...

Six approaches to the theory of Bernoulli polynomials are known; these are associated with the names of J. Bernoulli [2], L. Euler [4], E. Lucas [8], P. E. Appell [1], A. Hürwitz [6] and D. H. Lehmer [7]. In this note we deal with a new determinantal definition for Bernoulli polynomials recently proposed by F. Costabile [3]; in particular, we emphasize some consequent procedures for automatic c...
