In the present study, a vibration analysis of functionally graded rectangular nano-/microplates was considered based on modified nonlinear coupled stress exponential and trigonometric shear deformation plate theories. Modified coupled stress theory is a non-classical continuum mechanics theory. In this theory, a material-length scale parameter is applied to account for the effect of nanostructu...

In the present study, buckling problem of nonhomogeneous microbeams with a variable cross-section is analyzed. The microcolumn considered in this study made functionally graded materials longitudinal direction and varies continuously throughout axial direction. Bernoulli–Euler beam theory conjunction modified strain gradient are employed to model structure by considering size effect. Rayleigh–R...

Control systems for shakers are necessary to remove both shaker dynamics as well as coupling effects between the shaker and the structure under test. Little attention has been given to shaker control for nonlinear structures. This paper presents the design, implementation and results of a shaker controller for a horizontal, cantilevered beam subjected to a non-uniform magnetic field. The object...

In this paper, the dynamic response of resonating nano-beams is investigated using a strain gradient elasticity theory. A nonlinear model is obtained based on the Galerkin decomposition method to find the dynamic response of the investigated beam around its statically deflected position. The mid-plane stretching, axial residual stress and nonlinear interaction due to the electrostatic force on ...

Temperature detection remains challenging in the low stratosphere, where the Rayleigh integration lidar is perturbed by aerosol contamination and ozone absorption while the rotational Raman lidar is suffered from its low scattering cross section. To correct the impacts of temperature on the Rayleigh Doppler lidar, a high spectral resolution lidar (HSRL) based on cavity scanning Fabry-Perot Inte...

a nonlocal beam model based on the bernoulli–euler beam theory is presented to investigate the dynamic stability of embedded single-walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) in thermal environment under combined static and periodic axial loads. the dynamic stability analysis is carried out by including the effects of small-scale parameter, temperature change and elastic medium. the equation of motion is...

in this study, the stability problem of a circular orthotropic cylindrical shell under the effect of anaxial compression varying with a power function of time is considered. at first, the modified donnell typedynamic stability and compatibility equations are obtained using love’s shell theory. applying the galerkinmethod and rayleigh-ritz variational techniques to these equations and taking the...

1 Abstract The concept of a multitrapping acoustical tweezer based on a focused ultrasound beam is presented and theoretically investigated. The beam is described in the paraxial approximation and it is generated by a concave transducer. The resulting focused beam exerts a radiation force on a small particle that is much smaller than the incident wavelength (i.e. the so-called Rayleigh scatteri...

This paper presents mechanical behavior of a functionally graded (FG) cantilever micro-beam subjected to a nonlinear electrostatic pressure and thermal moment considering effects of material length scale parameters. Material properties through the beam thickness direction are graded. The top surface of the micro-beam is made of pure metal and the bottom surface from a mixture of metal and ceram...
