Modified couple stress theory is applied to study of temperature effects on free vibration of Timoshenko functionally graded microbeams. Due to the interatomic and microstructural reactions of the structures in micro scale, the dynamic behavior of the microbeam is predicted more accurate applying the couple stress theory. Both of the simply supported and clamped boundary conditions are assumed ...

this article studied static deflection, natural frequency and nonlinear vibration of a clamped-clamped microbeam under discontinues electrostatic actuation. the electrostatic actuation was induced by applying ac-dc voltage between the microbeam and electrode plate. in contrast to previous works, it was assumed that length of the electrode plate was smaller than that of the microbeam. in additio...

In this paper, we study the flexural vibration behavior of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) for the assessment of Timoshenko beam models. Extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on second-generation reactive empirical bond-order (REBO) potential and Timoshenko beam modeling are performed to determine the vibration frequencies for SWCNTs with various length-todiameter ratios, ...

in this paper, surface and piezoelectric effects on the vibration behavior of nanowires (nws) are investigated by using a timoshenko beam model. the electric field equations and the governing equations of motion for the piezoelectric nws are derived with the consideration of surface effects. by the exact solution of the governing equations, an expression for the natural frequencies of nws with ...

In this paper, size-dependent effects on the vibration behavior of Timoshenko microbeams under pre-stress loading embedded in an elastic foundation, using modified strain gradient theory (MSGT) and surface stress effects, were studied. To consider the surface stress effects, the Gurtin–Murdoch continuum mechanical approach was employed. Using Hamilton’s principle, the governing equations of mot...

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...

The present work aims to study the free vibration, buckling and post-buckling behaviors of bidirectional functionally graded (BDFG) microbeams. material properties a BDFG microbeam were varied continuously in both thickness axial directions. Furthermore, four different kinds distribution function taken into consideration, two which symmetrical direction, remaining asymmetrical. Employing Timosh...

In this study, analytical solution is presented to calculate the free vibration frequencies of nonuniform microbeams. Scale effects are modelled using modified couple stress theory and the microbeam is assumed to be thin while Poisson's ratio effects are also taken into account. Nonuniformity is presented by exponentially varying width among the microbeam while the thickness remains constant. R...

In the current work, the nonlinear vibration of an embedded double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) aroused by nonlinear van der Waals (vdW) interaction forces from both surrounding medium and adjacent tubes is studied. Using both Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam models, the relation between deflection amplitudes and resonant frequencies of the DWCNT is derived through harmonic balance method....
