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...

Non-prismatic beams have received great attention from engineers due to their capability in optimizing the strength and weight of the structure. In recent years, many researchers have worked on engineering problems related to static and dynamic analysis of either Euler–Bernoulli [1–3] or Timoshenko [4,5] beams. For short thick beams and rotating machineries, the Timoshenko beam theory presents ...

We show that a non-dissipative feedback that has been shown in the literature to exponentially stabilize an Euler-Bernoulli beam makes a Rayleigh beam and a Timoshenko beam unstable.

We consider the Cauchy problem for the Euler-Bernoulli equation of the vibrating beam and solve it in Gevrey classes under appropriate Levi conditions on the lower order terms.

Numerical model simulations of idealized and observed flows are used to investigate the dynamics of low-level jet streams that form in stratified flow downstream of the vertex of large elliptical barriers such as the southern tip of Greenland, hereafter referred to as ‘‘tip jets’’. The tip jet dynamics are governed by conservation of Bernouli function as parcels accelerate down the pressure gra...

The problem of computing the exact value of ∑ 1/n is so classical (dating back to 1644) that it even has a name of its own: the Basel problem. The city of Basel was the hometown both of the famous brothers Jakob and Johann Bernoulli, who made serious but unsuccessful attempts to solve the problem, and to the prodigious mathematician Leonhard Euler, who found the first solution in 1735, see [3]....

the efficiency and robustness of reliability methods are two important factors in first order reliability method (form). the conjugate choice control (ccc) and directional chaos control method (dcc) were developed to improve the robustness and efficiency of form formula using the stability transformation method. in this paper, the ccc and dcc methods are applied for reliability analysis of a co...

in this paper, the mechanical behavior of three-phase inhomogeneous materials is modeled using the meso-scale model with lattice beams for static and dynamic analyses. the timoshenko beam theory is applied instead of the classical euler-bernoulli beam theory and the mechanical properties of lattice beam connection are derived based on the continuum medium using the non-local continuum theory. t...
