In this work, the structural response of thin-walled, composite beams with built-in twist angles is analyzed using a mixed beam approach. The analytical model includes the effects of elastic couplings, shell wall thickness, and torsion warping. Reissner's semi-complimentary energy functional is used to describe the beam theory and also to deal with the mixed-nature in the beam kinematics. The bending and torsion related warpings introduced by the non-zero pretwist angles are derived in closed-form through the proposed beam formulation. The theory is validated with available literature and detailed finite element analysis results for rectangular solid section beams with elastic couplings. Very good correlation has been obtained for the cases considered.

This paper addresses the dynamic modeling and closed-loop eigenvibration analysis of composite rotating pretwisted fan blade modeled as non-uniform thin-walled beam with bi-convex cross-section fixed at the certain presetting angle and incorporating piezoelectric induced damping capabilities. The blade model incorporates non-classical features such as transverse shear, rotary inertia and includes the centrifugal and Coriolis force field. A velocity feedback control law relating the piezoelectiriccally induced transversal bending moment at the beam tip with the appropriately selected kinematical response quantity is used and the beneficial effects upon the closed loop eigenvibration of the blade are highlighted.

This paper addresses the control of free and dynamic response of composite rotating pretwisted blade modeled as non-uniform thin-walled beam fixed at the certain presetting and pretwisted angle and incorporating piezoelectric induced damping capabilities. A distributed piezoelectric actuator pair is used to suppress the vibrations caused by external disturbances. The blade model incorporates non-uniform features such as transverse shear, secondary warping and includes the centrifugal and Coriolis force field. A velocity feedback control law relating the piezoelectiriccally induced transversal bending moment at the beam tip with the appropriately selected kinematical response quantity is used and the beneficial effects upon the closed loop eigenvibration and dynamic characteristics of the blade are highlighted.

Equations of chordwise and flapwise bending motions for the vibration analysis of rotating pre-twisted blades having tapered cross section and setting angle are derived by using hybrid deformation variable modeling. The two motions are couples to each other due to the pre-twisted angle of the beam cross section. The derived equations are transformed into dimensionless forms in which dimensionless parameters are identified. The effects of the dimensionless parameters on the modal characteristics of rotating pre-twisted blades having tapered cross section and orientation angle are investigated. The eigenvalue loci veering phenomena are also investigated and discussed in this work.

Equations of motions of a pretwisted rotating blade with a concentrated mass in an arbitrary position are derived. The flapwise and chordwise equations are coupled to each other due to the pretwist angle of the blade. As the angular speed, hub radius ratio, pretwist angle and concentrated mass vary, the vibration characteristics of the blade change. It is found that eigenvalue lociveering phenomena occur between two closing loci due to the pretwist angle. The effect of the pretwist angle on the critical angular speed and location of the concentrated mass on the natural frequencies are also investigated.

Equations of chordwise and flapwise bending motions of pretwisted rotatin cantilever beams are derived. The two motions are coupled to each other due to the pretwist angle of the beam cross section. As the angular speed, hub radius ratio, and pretwist angle vary, the vibration characteristics of the beam change. It is found that engenvalue loci veering phenomena and associated mode shape variations occur between two vibration modes due to the pretwist angle. The effect of the pretwist angle on the critical angular speed is also investigated.

A nonlinear dynamic model for the shaft-disk-blade unit is developed in this study. In this regard, the rotating flexible blade, with a pre-twist angle, attached to a rigid disk driven by a shaft which is flexible in torsion is developed. The rotor-blade coupled model is derived using Lagrange equation in conjunction with the assumed mode method to discretize the blade deformation. The equations of motion are analyzed based on the small deformation theory for the blade and shaft torsional deformation to obtain the system natural frequencies for various system parameters.

A number of issues related with the vibrational behavior of pretwisted rotating beams featuring anisotropic properties and incorporating adaptive capabilities are considered in this paper. The adaptive capabilities are provided by a system of piezoactuators bonded or embedded into the structure. Based on the converse piezoelectric effect and on the out of phase activation, boundary control moments are pizoelectrically induced at the beam tip. A feedback control law relating the induced bending moments with the kinematical response quantities appropriately selected is used, and its beneficial effects, considered in conjunction with that of the beam anisotropy and structural pretwist upon the eigenvibration characteristics are highlighted
