In this paper, Generalized Differential Quadrature Method is applied to the buckling analysis of built-up columns without or with stay plates. numerical analysis using GDQM is carried out for various boundary conditions(simply supported conditions, fixed conditions, fixed-simply supported conditions), dimensionless stiffness parameter and dimensionless inertia moment parameter. The accuracy and convergence of solutions are compared with exact solutions of Gjelsvik to validate the results of GDQM. Results obtained by this method are as follows. 91) This method can yield the accurate numerical solutions using few grid points. (2) The buckling load of built-up column increases as the dimensionless stiffness parameter decreases. (3) The effects of boundary conditions on the buckling load are not considerable as the dimensionless stiffness parameter increases.

In this manuscript, free vibrations of a unidirectional composite orthotropic Timoshenko beam based on finite strain have been studied. Using Green-Lagrange strain tensor and comprising all of the nonlinear terms of the tensor and also applying Hamilton's principle, equations of motion and boundary conditions of the beam are obtained. Using separation method in single-harmonic state, time and locative variables are separated from each other and finally, the equations of motion and boundary conditions are gained according to locative variable. To solve the equations, generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) is applied and then, deflection and cross-section rotation of the beam in linear and nonlinear states are drawn and compared with each other. Also, frequencies of carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy composite beams for different boundary conditions on the basis of the finite strain are calculated. The calculated frequencies of the nonlinear free vibration of the beam utilizing finite strain assumption for various geometries have been compared to von Karman one.

The vibration analysis of the circular arch as a member of a structure has been an important subject of mechanics due to its various applications to many industrial fields. In particular, circular arches with variable cross section are widely used to optimize the distribution of weight and strength and to satisfy special architectural and functional requirements. The Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM) and Differential Transformation Method (DTM) were recently proposed by Shu and Zou, respectively. In this study, GDQM and DTM were applied to the vibration analysis of circular arches with variable cross section. The governing equations of motion for circular arches with variable cross section were derived. The concepts of Differential Transformation and Generalized Differential Quadrature were briefly introduced. The non-dimensionless natural frequencies of circular arches with variable cross section were obtained for various boundary conditions. The results obtained using these methods were compared with those of previous works. GDQM and DTM showed fast convergence, accuracy, efficiency, and validity in solving the vibration problem of circular arches with variable cross section.

In this paper, Coriolis effect on vibration behavior of a rotating rectangular plate made of functionally graded (FG) materials under thermal loading has been investigated. The material properties of the FG plate are supposed to get changed in parallel with the thickness of the plate and the thermal properties of the material are assumed to be thermo-elastic. In this research, the effect of hub size, rotating speed and setting angle are considered. Governing equation of motion and the associated boundary conditions are obtained by Hamilton's principle. Generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) is used to solve the governing differential equation with respect to cantilever boundary condition. The results were successfully verified with the published literatures. These results can be useful for designing rotary systems such as turbine blades. In this work, Coriolis and thermal effects are considered for the first time and GDQM method has been used in solving the equations of motion of a rotating FGM plate.

The main purpose of this paper is to apply differential transformation method(DTM) and generalized differential quadrature method(GDQM) to vibration analysis of Euler-Bernoulli beam with open cracks on elastic foundation. In this paper the concepts of DTM and GDQM were briefly introduced. The governing equation of motion of the beam with open cracks on elastic foundation is derived. The cracks are modeled by massless substitute spring. The effects of the crack location, size and the foundation constants, on the natural frequencies of the beam, are investigated. Numerical calculations are carried out and compared with previous published results.

In this paper, Bishop theory performs longitudinal vibration analysis of Nano-beams. Its governing equation, due to integrated displacement field and more considered primarily effects compared with other theories, enjoys fully completed status, and more reliable results as well. This article aims to find how Bishop theory and Two-phase elasticity work together. In other words, whether Bishop theory will be compatible with Two-phase local/nonlocal elasticity. Hamilton's principle is employed to derive governing equation of motion, and then the 6th order of Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM) as a constructive numerical method is utilized to attain the discretized two-phase formulation. To acquire a proper verification procedure, exact solution is prepared to be compared with current results. Furthermore, the effects of key parameters on the objective are investigated.

This article deals with the frequency analysis of viscoelastic sandwich disk with graphene nano-platelets (GPLs) reinforced viscoelastic concrete (GPLRVC) face sheets and honeycomb core. The honeycomb core is made of aluminum due to its low weight and high stiffness. The rule of the mixture and modified Halpin-Tsai model are engaged to provide the effective material constant of the concrete. By employing Hamilton's principle, the governing equations of the structure are derived and solved with the aid of the Generalize Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM). In this paper, viscoelastic properties are modeled according to Kelvin-Voigt viscoelasticity. The deflection as the function of time can be solved by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta numerical method. Afterward, a parametric study is carried out to investigate the effects of the outer to inner radius ratio, hexagonal core angle, thickness to length ratio of the concrete, the weight fraction of GPLs into concrete, and the thickness of honeycomb core to inner radius ratio on the frequency of the viscoelastic sandwich disk with honeycomb core and FG-GPLRVC face sheet.

The free and forced vibration in addition to electric energy harvesting of a piezoelectric disk resting on two-parameter foundation modeled by modified couple stress as well as Kirchhoff plate theory is probed. The governing equations and boundary conditions are obtained using Hamilton's principle. Then, the free and forced vibration are solved using numerical solutions, generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) and Newmark-beta method. The forced vibration is resulted from a base excitation load. Also, the possible voltage which can be harvested from this system is obtained using generalized integral quadrature method. The validity of the formulation and solution procedure is confirmed using a compassion study. The impact of parameters such as length effect, inner to outer radius ratio, and foundations parameters on the free and forced vibration as well as energy harvesting is investigated in detail. This paper can be a basis for future studies in the area of piezoelectric harvesters in small scales.
