This paper describes the natural frequencies obtained through FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and Numerical Analysis which uses the boundary conditions to each equation of motion and the consecutive conditions at each supporting point. And then. we studied on the optimal position determination of middle supporting points to maximize the natural frequency of a beam at 24 Models. We present the data of optimal condition for designing a beam.

A linearly tapered beam immersed partially in other material is considered and is modelled as a linearly tapered Bernoulli-Euler beam fixed at the bottom with a concentrated mass at the top. Its governing equations is derived and its free vibration analysis is performed for various boundary conditions. And the rotatory inertia of the eccentric lumped tip mass is considered. The problem of determining the natural frequencies leads to an eighth order determinant. The solutions of the frequency equations are obtained numerically. The non-dimensional frequency parameters are given in tabular form and the influence of non-dimensional parameters on natural frequency is discussed for various conditions.

The present study deals with the dynamics of the flapwise (out-of-plane) vibrations of a rotating, internally damped (Kelvin-Voigt model) tapered Bernoulli-Euler beam carrying a heavy tip mass. The centroid of the tip mass is offset from the free end of the beam and is located along its extended axis. The equation of motion and the corresponding boundary conditions are derived via the Hamilton's Principle, leading to a differential eigenvalue problem. Afterwards, this eigenvalue problem is solved by using Frobenius Method of solution in power series. The resulting characteristic equation is then solved numerically. The numerical results are tabulated for a variety of nondimensional rotational speed, tip mass, tip mass offset, mass moment of inertia, internal damping parameter, hub radius and taper ratio. These are compared with the results of a conventional finite element modeling as well, and excellent agreement is obtained.

Starting from the rotating beam finite element in which the interpolating shape functions satisfies the governing static homogeneous differential equation of Euler-Bernoulli rotating beams, we derived new shape functions that satisfies the governing differential equation which contains the terms of hub radius and setting angle. The shape functions are rational functions which depend on hub radius, setting angle, rotational speed and element position. Numerical results for uniform and tapered cantilever beams with and without hub radius and setting angle are compared with the available results. It is shown that the present element offers an accurate method for solving the free vibration problems of rotating beam.

In this paper, a modal analysis is applied for a hung Euler-Bernoulli beam with a lumped mass. We first derive the equations of motion using the Hamilton's principle. Then regarding the tension of beam as constant, we characterize the eigenfrequencies and the feature of eigenfunctions. The approximation employed here is corresponding that the lumped mass is sufficiently large than that of beam. Finally we compare the eigenfrequencies derived here with those obtained based on the Southwell's method.

Numerical solution technique is suggested to analyze the vibration of a spring composed of stacked beams fastened together. Bernoulli-Euler beam theory for small deflection is used, and incremental Coulomb friction law is adopted for the interface friction. The validity of the present solution technique is checked for the perfectly bonded case and the perfect sliding case.

The spectral element model is known to provide very accurate structural dynamic characteristics, while reducing the number of degree-of-freedom to resolve the computational and cost problems. Thus, the spectral element model for an axially moving Bernoulli-Euler beam subjected to axial tension is developed in the present paper. The high accuracy of the spectral element model is then verified by comparing its solutions with the conventional finite element solutions and exact analytical solutions. The effects of the moving speed and axial tension on the vibration characteristics, wave characteristics, and the static and dynamic stabilities of a moving beam are investigated.

A new perturbation method is introduced to study the undamped free vibration of a non-prismatic Timoshenko beam for its natural frequencies and vibration modes. For simplicity, the natural modes of vibration of its corresponding prismatic Euler-Bernoulli beam with the same length and boundary conditions are used as Ritz base functions with necessary modifications to account for shear strain in the Timoshenko beam. The new method can transform two coupled partial differential equations governing the transverse vibration of the non-prismatic Timoshenko beam into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. It significantly simplifies the solution process and is applicable to non-prismatic beams with various boundary conditions. Three examples indicated that the new method is more accurate than the previous perturbation methods. It successfully takes into account the effect of shear deformation of Timoshenko beams particularly at the free end of cantilever structures.

This investigation studies the characteristics of wave dispersion in sigmoid functionally graded (SFG) curved beams lying on an elastic substrate for the first time. Homogenization process was performed with the help of sigmoid function and two power laws. Moreover, various materials such as Zirconia, Alumina, Monel and Nickel steel were explored as curved beams materials. In addition, curved beams were rested on an elastic substrate which was modelled based on Winkler-Pasternak foundation. The SFG curved beams' governing equations were derived according to Euler-Bernoulli curved beam theory which is known as classic beam theory and Hamilton's principle. The resulted governing equations were solved via an analytical method. In order to validate the utilized method, the obtained outcomes were compared with other researches. Finally, the influences of various parameters, including wave number, opening angle, gradient index, Winkler coefficient and Pasternak coefficient were evaluated and indicated in the form of diagrams.

In the present study, buckling analysis of sandwich composite (carbon nanotube reinforced composite and fiber reinforced composite) Euler-Bernoulli beam in two configurations (core and layers material), three laminates (combination of different angles) and two models (relative thickness of core according to peripheral layers) using differential quadrature method (DQM) is studied. Also, the effects of porosity coefficient and different types of porosity distribution on critical buckling load are discussed. Using sandwich beam, it shows a considerable enhancement in the critical buckling load when compared to ordinary composite. Actually, resistance against buckling in sandwich beam is between two to four times more. It is also showed the critical buckling loads of laminate 1 and 3 are significantly larger than the results of laminate 2. When Configuration 2 is used, the critical buckling load rises about 3 percent in laminate 1 and 3 compared to the results of configuration 1. The amount of enhancement for laminate 3 is about 17 percent. It is also demonstrated that the influence of the core height (thickness) in the case of lower carbon volume fractions is ignorable. Even though, when volume fraction of fiber increases, differences grow smoothly. It should be noticed the amount of decline has inverse relationship with the beam aspect ratio. Among three porosity patterns investigated, beam with the distribution of porosity Type 2 (downward parabolic) has the maximum critical buckling load. At the end, the first three modes of buckling will be demonstrated to investigate the effect of spring constants.
