It is well known that tires play an important role in the generation of rolling noise. For low frequencies, the circular ring model can describe in a simple way the tire dynamic behaviour. This model is based on the Euler Bernoulli beam theory and takes into account the prestress generated by the internal air pressure but is otherwise linear. However, nonlinear effects resulting from high inter...

Free vibration analysis of higher-order shear deformation beam resting on one- and two-parameter elasticfoundation is studied using differential transform method (DTM) as a part of a calculation procedure. First,the governing differential equations of beam are derived in a general form considering the shear-freeboundary conditions (zero shear stress conditions at the top and bottom of a beam). ...

In this paper, bending analysis of concentric and eccentric beam stiffened square and rectangular plate using the meshless collocation method has been investigated. For detecting the governing equations of plate and beams, Mindlin plate theory and Timoshenko beam theory have been used, respectively, with the stiffness matrices of the plate and the beams obtained separately. The stiffness matric...

In this paper, a comparison of weak-form Galerkin and least-squares finite element models of Timoshenko beam theory with the von Kármán strains is presented. Computational characteristics of the two models and the influence of the polynomial orders used on the relative accuracies of the two models are discussed. The degree of approximation functions used varied from linear to the 5th order. In ...

An isotropic structure modelled as a Timoshenko beam is considered for the optimal vibration control problem. The model to be controlled described by distributed parameter system with selection of Timoshenko?s shear correction factor. Control vibrations achieved through function placed on boundary conditions. performance index which seeks minimized indicates that goal minimize magnitude measure...
