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.

In this paper we develop highly flexible Timoshenko beam model for tracking large deformations in noisy data. We demonstrate that by neglecting some physical properties of Timoshenko beam, classical energy beam can be derived. The comparison of these two models in terms of their robustness and precision against noisy data is given. We demonstrate that Timoshenko beam model is more robust and pr...

This paper features the mathematical modeling of a single input single output based Timoshenko smart beam. Further, this mathematical model is used to design a multirate output feedback based discrete sliding mode controller using Bartoszewicz law to suppress the flexural vibrations. The first 2 dominant vibratory modes is retained. Here, an application of the discrete sliding mode control in s...

The Riesz basis property of the generalized eigenvector system of a Timoshenko beam with boundary feedback controls applied to two ends is studied in the present paper. The spectral property of the operator A determined by the closed loop system is investigated. It is shown that operator A has compact resolvent and generates a C0 semigroup, and its spectrum consists of two branches and has two ...

The objective of this study is to present a brief survey on the geometrically nonlinear free vibrations of the Bernoulli-Euler, the Rayleigh, shear, and the Timoshenko beams with simple end conditions using the Homotopy Analysis Method HAM . Expressions for the natural frequencies, the transverse deflection, postbuckling load-deflection relation to, and critical buckling load are presented. The...

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...

in this paper, eringen’s nonlocal elasticity and timoshenko beam theories are implemented to analyze the bending vibration for non-uniform nano-beams.  the governing equations and the boundary conditions are derived using hamilton’s principle. a generalized differential quadrature method (gdqm) is utilized for solving the governing equations of non-uniform timoshenko nano-beam for pinned-pinned...
