Abstract:

In this paper, homotopy perturbation and modified Lindstedt-Poincare methods are employed for nonlinear free vibrational analysis of simply supported and double-clamped beams subjected to axial loads. Mid-plane stretching effect has also been accounted in the model. Galerkin's decomposition technique is implemented to convert the dimensionless equation of the motion to nonlinear ordinary differential equation. Homotopy and modified Lindstedt-Poincare (HPM) are applied to find analytic expressions for nonlinear natural frequencies of the beams. Effects of design parameters such as axial load and slenderness ratio are investigated. The analytic expressions are valid for a wide range of vibration amplitudes. Comparing the semi-analytic solutions with numerical results, presented in the literature, indicates good agreement. The results signify the fact that HPM is a powerful tool for analyzing dynamic and vibrational behavior of structures analytically.

Nonlinear Vibration Analysis of the Beam Carrying a Moving Mass Using Modified Homotopy

In the present study, the analysis of nonlinear vibration for a simply-supported flexible beam with a constant velocity carrying a moving mass is studied. The amplitude of vibration assumed high and its deformation rate is assumed slow. Due to the high amplitude of vibrations, stretching is created in mid-plane, resulting in, the nonlinear strain-displacement relations is obtained, Thus, Nonlin...
