In recent years, there has been a tendency towards renewable energy sources considering the damages caused by non-renewable energy resources to nature and humans. One of the renewable energy sources is wind and energy is obtained with the help of wind turbines. To determine the behavior of wind turbines under earthquake loads, dynamic characteristics are required. In this study, the differential transformation method is proposed to determine the free vibration analysis of wind turbines with a variable cross-section. The wind turbine is modeled as an equivalent variable continuous flexural beam and blade weight is considered as a point mass at the top of the structures. The differential equation representing the free vibration of the wind turbine is transformed into an algebraic equation with the help of differential transformation method and the angular frequencies and the mode shapes of the wind turbine are obtained by the help of the differential transformation method. In the study, a sample taken from the literature was solved with the presented method and the suitability of the method was investigated. The same wind turbine example also modeled by finite element modelling software, ABAQUS. Results of the finite element model and differential transformation method are compared with each other and the results are in good agreement.

이 연구는 회전관성과 전단변형을 동시에 고려한 변단면 Timoshenko 보의 자유진동에 관한 연구이다. 변단면 보의 단면은 폭이 포물선 함수로 변화하는 변화폭 직사각형 단면으로 채택하였다. 이러한 보의 자유진동을 지배하는 수직변위에 대한 4계 상미분방정식을 유도하였다. 이 상미분방정식을 수치해석하여 고유진동수와 진동형을 산출하였다. 수치해석 예에서는 회전-회전, 회전-고정, 고정-고정 지점을 고려하였다. 진동형은 변위의 진동형뿐만 아니라 합응력의 진동형도 산출하여 그림에 나타내었다. 휨 회전각과 전단변형에 의한 수직변위 및 전단면 회전각의 구성비율을 산정하였다.

이 논문은 정다각형 중실단면을 갖는 최강보에 관한 연구이다. 이 연구에서 보의 체적은 항상 일정하다. 이러한 보에 집중하중과 만재 사다리꼴 분포하중이 작용하는 경우에 탄성곡선의 미분방정식을 유도하고 이를 수치해석하여 정적 거동을 산정하였다. 미분방정식은 Runge-Kutta법을 이용하여 수치적분을 하였고 미지수인 보의 초기치는 shooting method를 이용하여 산정하였다. 수치해석 예에서는 단순보를 채택하였고, 단면깊이의 형상함수로는 선형, 포물선형 및 정현형의 함수를 채택하였다. 이 연구에서 얻은 수치해석의 결과로부터 보의 정적 최대거동값이 최소가 되는 단면형상 즉 최강단면비를 산정하였다.

This paper deals with the static optimal shapes of simple beams which are subjected to a vertical point load. The area and second moment of inertia of the regular polygon cross-section of the tapered beams are determined, which have always same volume and same length for the parabolic taper. The differential equation governing the elastic curve is derived using the small deflection theory and solved numerically. By using the numerical results of deflections, rotations and bending stresses of such beams, the optimal shapes, namely, optimal section ratios, of the beams subjected to a single point load according to variation of load position parameters are determined and presented in the figures. Examples of the static optimal shapes for beams with a single load and multiple loads are reported. The design process of this study can be used directly for the minimum weight design of simple beams.

In order to perform the spatial buckling analysis of the curved beam element with nonsymmetric thin-walled cross section, exact static stiffness matrices are evaluated using equilibrium equations and force-deformation relations. Contrary to evaluation procedures of dynamic stiffness matrices, 14 displacement parameters are introduced when transforming the four order simultaneous differential equations to the first order differential equations and 2 displacement parameters among these displacements are integrated in advance. Thus non-homogeneous simultaneous differential equations are obtained with respect to the remaining 8 displacement parameters. For general solution of these equations, the method of undetermined parameters is applied and a generalized linear eigenvalue problem and a system of linear algebraic equations with complex matrices are solved with respect to 12 displacement parameters. Resultantly displacement functions are exactly derived and exact static stiffness matrices are determined using member force-displacement relations. The buckling loads are evaluated and compared with analytic solutions or results by ABAQUS's shell element.

The free vibration analysis of fluid conveying Timoshenko pipeline with different boundary conditions using Differential Transform Method (DTM) and Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) has not been investigated by any of the studies in open literature so far. Natural frequencies, modes and critical fluid velocity of the pipelines on different supports are analyzed based on Timoshenko model by using DTM and ADM in this study. At first, the governing differential equations of motion of fluid conveying Timoshenko pipeline in free vibration are derived. Parameter for the nondimensionalized multiplication factor for the fluid velocity is incorporated into the equations of motion in order to investigate its effects on the natural frequencies. For solution, the terms are found directly from the analytical solution of the differential equation that describes the deformations of the cross-section according to Timoshenko beam theory. After the analytical solution, the efficient and easy mathematical techniques called DTM and ADM are used to solve the governing differential equations of the motion, respectively. The calculated natural frequencies of fluid conveying Timoshenko pipelines with various combinations of boundary conditions using DTM and ADM are tabulated in several tables and figures and are compared with the results of Analytical Method (ANM) where a very good agreement is observed. Finally, the critical fluid velocities are calculated for different boundary conditions and the first five mode shapes are presented in graphs.

The differential equations governing free, in-plane vibrations of non-circular arches with non-uniform cross-section, including the effects of rotatory inertia, shear deformation and axial deformation, are derived and solved numerically to obtain frequencies. The lowest four natural frequencies are calculated for the prime parabolic arches with hinged-hinged, hinged-clamped, and clamped-clamped end constraints. Three general taper types for rectangular section are considered. A wide range of arch rise to span length ratios, slenderness ratios, and section ratios are considered. The agreement with results determined by means of a finite element method is good from an engineering viewpoint.

This paper deals with the free vibrations of circular arches with variable cross-section. The differential equations governing free, in-plane vibrations of tapered circular arches, including the effects of rotatory inertia, shear deformation and axial deformation, are derived and solved numerically to obtain frequencies and mode shapes. Numerical results are calculated for the quadratic arches with hinged-hinged and clamped-clamped end constraints. Three general taper types for a rectangular section are considered. The lowest four natural frequencies and mode shapes are presented over a range of non-dimensional system parameters： the subtended angle, the slenderness ratio and the section ratio.

The paper analyzes the problem of torsion in an adhesive non-tubular bonded single-lap joint. The joint considered consists of two thin rectangular section beams bonded together along a side surface. Assuming the materials involved to be governed by linear elastic laws, equilibrium and compatibility equations were used to arrive at an integro-differential relation whose solution makes it possible to determine torsional moment section by section in the bonded joint between the two beams. This is then used to determine the predominant stress and strain field at the beam-adhesive interface (stress field along the direction perpendicular to the interface plane, equivalent to the applied torsional moment and the corresponding strain field) and the joint's elastic strain (absolute and relative rotations of the bonded beam cross sections). All the relations presented were obtained in closed form. Results obtained theoretically are compared with those given by a three dimensional finite element numerical model. Theoretical and numerical analysis agree satisfactorily.
