In this paper, the modified Euler-Bernoulli beam model is presented to examine the influence of surface elasticity and residual surface tension on the critical force of axial buckling of nanotubes in the presence of rotary inertia. An explicit solution is derived for the buckling loads of microscaled Euler beams considering surface effects. The size-dependent buckling behavior of the nanotube d...

In the present work, a finite element model is proposed to describe the response of isotropic and orthotropic beams with piezoelectric actuators due to applied mechanical loads as well as electrical load. The assumed field displacements of the beams are represented by First-order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT), the Timoshenko beam theory. The equation of motion of the smart beam system is deri...

Abstract Compliant mechanisms (CMs) have presented its inherently advantageous properties due to the fact that CMs utilize elastic deformation of elementary flexible members transfer motion, force, and energy. Previously, classic Euler–Bernoulli beam theory is most used in terms modeling large deflections CMs. However, it has some assumptions may decrease accuracy, such as ignoring shear strain...

The main purpose of this article is to derive several convolutions for generalized Bernoulli and Euler–Genocchi polynomials order (r,m), Bn(r,m)(x) An(r,m)(x), respectively. These have been introduced recently contain the Bernoulli, Euler Genocchi as special members. Some our results extend M. Merca others concerning numbers polynomials. Probabilistic interpretations presented are also given.

Abstract. The dynamic stability problem is solved for onedimensional structures subjected to time-dependent deterministic or stochastic axial forces. The stability analysis of structures under time-dependent forces strongly depends on dissipation energy. The simplest model of viscous damping with constant coefficient was commonly assumed in previous papers despite the fact that there are other ...

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...

Existing investigations on imperfect phononic crystal beams mainly concern periodic multi-span beams carrying either one or two channel waves with random or deterministic disorder in span-length. This paper studies the two channel bending waves in phononic crystal beams consisting of many phases of materials with defects introduced as one structural segment having different cross-sectional dime...

We study the applicability of the discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) variational framework for thin-body problems in structural mechanics. Our numerical approach is based on discontinuous piecewise polynomial finite element spaces for the trial functions and approximate, local computation of the corresponding ‘optimal’ test functions. In the Timoshenko beam problem, the proposed method is show...
