The vibration problems of uniform and nonuniform Euler-Bernoulli beams have been solved analytically or approximately [1-5] for various end conditions. In order to calculate fundamental natural frequencies and related mode shapes, well known variational techniques such as Rayleigh_Ritz and Galerkin methods have been applied in the past. Besides these techniques, some discretized numerical metho...

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...

The dynamics of beams that undergo large displacements is analyzed in frequency domain and comparisons between models derived by isogeometric analysis and p-FEM are presented. The equation of motion is derived by the principle of virtual work, assuming Timoshenko’s theory for bending and geometrical type of nonlinearity. As a result, a nonlinear system of second order ordinary differential equa...

This work deals with a Timoshenko equation delay term and variable exponents. Firstly, we obtain the blow up of solutions for negative initial energy in finite time. Later, establish decay results by using an integral inequality due to Komornik. These, improve extend previous studies literature.

In this paper, based on Kelvin and Linear Standard Solid models, dynamic response and the buckling load of a viscoelastic beam under  lateral and axial loads have been determined. The governing equations have been extracted using Euler  and Timoshenko theories and their analytical solutions have been obtained by using the eigenfunctions expansion method. Buckling load have been calculated by us...

The main objective of this study is to reduce optimal vibration suppression of Timoshenko beam under non-periodic step and impulse inputs. Cantilever beam was modeled by Timoshenko theory and finite element numerical method. Stiffness (K), mass (M), and damping (C) matrices are extracted. Then, in order to control structure vibration, piezoelectric patches were used due to simultaneous dual beh...

In this paper, based on the nonlocal Timoshenko beam theory, a nonlinear model is presented for the vibrational behavior of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) embedded in elastic medium in thermal environment. Using the Timoshenko beam theory and nonlocal elasticity of Eringen, the influences of rotary inertia, transverse shear deformation and small scale effect are taken into account. To model the intera...

in this paper, the nonlinear conjugate map based on the conjugate hasofer-lind and rackwitz- fiessler (chl-rf) method is applied to evaluate the reliability index using first order reliability method of the embedded noanocompsite beam, which is made from polymer reinforced with carbon nanotubs (cnts). the structure is simulated with timoshenko beam model. the mori-tanaka model is applied for ca...

In this paper we consider a linear thermoelastic system of Timoshenko type where the heat conduction is given by linearized law Gurtin-Pipkin. An existence and uniqueness result proved use semigroup approach. We establish an exponential stability without any assumption on wave speeds once here have fully damped system.
