Parametrically Excited Stability of a Simply Supported Beam Under Axial Periodic Excitation

Vibration Suppression of Simply Supported Beam under a Moving Mass using On-Line Neural Network Controller

In this paper, model reference neural network structure is used as a controller for vibration suppression of the Euler–Bernoulli beam under the excitation of moving mass travelling along a vibrating path. The non-dimensional equation of motion the beam acted upon by a moving mass is achieved.  A Dirac-delta function is used to describe the position of the moving mass along the beam and its iner...

Stability Analysis in Parametrically Excited Electrostatic Torsional Micro-actuators

This paper addresses the static and dynamic stabilities of a parametrically excited torsional micro-actuator. The system is composed of a rectangular micro-mirror symmetrically suspended between two electrodes and acted upon by a steady (dc ) while simultaneously superimposed to an (ac ) voltage. First, the stability of the system subjected to a quasi-statically applied (dc ) voltage is investi...

An efficient analytical solution for nonlinear vibrations of a parametrically excited beam

An efficient and accurate analytical solution is provided using the homotopy-Pade technique for the nonlinear vibration of parametrically excited cantilever beams. The model is based on the Euler-Bernoulli assumption and includes third order nonlinear terms arisen from the inertial and curvature nonlinearities. The Galerkin’s method is used to convert the equation of motion to a nonlinear ordin...

Dynamic Stability Analysis of a Beam Excited by a Sequence of Moving Mass Particles

In this paper, the dynamic stability analysis of a simply supported beam carrying a sequence of moving masses is investigated. Many applications such as motion of vehicles or trains on bridges, cranes transporting loads along their span, fluid transfer pipe systems and the barrel of different weapons can be represented as a flexible beam carrying moving masses. The periodical traverse of masses...
