Modified couple stress theory is applied to study of temperature effects on free vibration of Timoshenko functionally graded microbeams. Due to the interatomic and microstructural reactions of the structures in micro scale, the dynamic behavior of the microbeam is predicted more accurate applying the couple stress theory. Both of the simply supported and clamped boundary conditions are assumed ...

A Timoshenko beam equation with boundary feedback control is considered. By an abstract result on the Riesz basis generation for the discrete operators in the Hilbert spaces, we show that the closed-loop system is a Riesz system, that is, the sequence of generalized eigenvectors of the closed-loop system forms a Riesz basis in the state Hilbert space. 1. Introduction. The boundary feedback stab...

In this paper, the dynamic response of an axially moving viscoelastic beam with simple supports is calculated analytically based on Timoshenko theory. The beam material property is separated to shear and bulk effects. It is assumed that the beam is incompressible in bulk and viscoelastic in shear, which obeys the standard linear model with the material time derivative. The axial speed is charac...

The novelty of this study is presentation of an exact solution for prediction of postbuckling behavior of shear deformable micro- and nano-scale beams based on modified couple stress theory and using principle of minimum potential energy. Timoshenko and Reddy-Levinson beam theories are applied to consider the shear deformation effect and Von Karman nonlinear kinematics is used to describe the n...

In this paper, the flow-induced vibration and flutter instability of cantilever carbon nanotubes conveying fluid and modeled as a thin-walled Timoshenko beam are investigated. Analytically nonlocal theory, transverse shear and rotary inertia effects are incorporated in this study. The governing equations and the boundary conditions are derived through Hamilton's principle. Numerical analysis is...

In this paper we consider the effect of boundary damping on a cantilevered Timoshenko beam with a rigid body attached to the free end. We establish the efficiency and accuracy of the finite element method for calculating the eigenvalues and eigenmodes. Although no conclusion could be drawn with regard to the stabilization of the system, interesting phenomena concerning the damped vibration spec...

This paper studies mechanical buckling of functionally graded beams subjected to axial compressive load that is simply supported at both ends lies on a continuous elastic foundation. The displacement field of beam is assumed based on EngesserTimoshenko beam theory. Applying the Hamilton's principle, the equilibrium equation is established. The influences of dimensionless geometrical parameter, ...
