The quadratic B-spline finite element method yields mass and stiffness matrices which are half the size of matrices obtained by the conventional finite element method. We solve the free vibration problem of a rotating Rayleigh beam using the quadratic B-spline finite element method. Rayleigh beam theory includes the rotary inertia effects in addition to the Euler-Bernoulli theory assumptions and presents a good mathematical model for rotating beams. Galerkin's approach is used to obtain the weak form which yields a system of symmetric matrices. Results obtained for the natural frequencies at different rotating speeds show an accurate match with the published results. A comparison with Euler-Bernoulli beam is done to decipher the variations in higher modes of the Rayleigh beam due to the slenderness ratio. The results are obtained for different values of non-uniform parameter ($\bar{n}$).

In this paper, we investigate the free vibration of axially loaded non-uniform Rayleigh cantilever beams. The Rayleigh beams account for the rotary inertia effect which is ignored in Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. Using an inverse problem approach we show, that for certain polynomial variations of the mass per unit length and the flexural stiffness, there exists a fundamental closed form solution to the fourth order governing differential equation for Rayleigh beams. The derived property variation can serve as test functions for numerical methods. For the rotating beam case, the results have been compared with those derived using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory.

In this work, the free vibration problem of a rotating Rayleigh beam is solved using the meshless Petrov-Galerkin method which is a truly meshless method. The Rayleigh beam includes rotatory inertia in addition to Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The radial basis functions, which satisfy the Kronecker delta property, are used for the interpolation. The essential boundary conditions can be easily applied with radial basis functions. The results are obtained using six nodes within a subdomain. The results accurately match with the published literature. Also, the results with Euler-Bernoulli are obtained to compare the change in higher natural frequencies with change in the slenderness ratio (${\sqrt{A_0R^2/I_0}}$). The mass and stiffness matrices are derived where we get two stiffness matrices for the node and boundary respectively. The non-dimensional form is discussed as well.

The elastic theory of beams is fundamental in engineering of design and structure. In this study, we construct Green's function for inhomogeneous fourth-order differential operators subjected to associated constraints that arises in dealing with dynamic problems in the Rayleigh beam. We obtain solutions for homogeneous and completely inhomogeneous beam problems using Green's function. This enables us to consider rotational influences in determining the eigenfrequency of beam vibrations. Additionally, we investigate the dynamic vibration model of inhomogeneous beams incorporating rotational effects. The eigenvalues of Rayleigh beams, including first-order correction terms, are also computed and displayed in tabular forms.

초음파 탐촉자로부터 방사된 음장을 모델링하는 것은 초음파 측정 모델을 구성하는 첫 번째 단계이며, 그 정확도를 결정짓는 핵심 요소이기 때문에 지금까지 다양한 연구가 진행되었다. 본 논문에서는 지금까지 제안된 다양한 기법 중에서 현재 널리 사용되고 있는 Rayleigh-Sommerfeld 적분 모델, 경계회절파모델(boundary diffraction wave model), 가장자리요소모델(edge element model)에 대해 간략하게 논의하고, 이 세가지 모델을 적용하여 평면 원형 및 사각형 초음파 탐촉자의 방사 음장을 계산하고, 각 기법의 정확성과 계산 효율을 비교하였다.

중간구속조건을 갖는 보 및 보-기둥의 진동에 관한 기존연구들의 대부분은 Euler 보이론틀에서 다루었다. 세장비가 작은 경우 또는 세장비가 큰 경우일지라도 고차진동에 대해서는 Timoshenko 이론들에 의한 해석이 요구되나, Timoshenko 보 및 보-기둥에 관한 연구사례는 적은 편이다. 본 연구에서는 Timoshenko 보-기둥에 대해서 양단경계조건을 병진스프링 회전스프링 구속으로, 중간구속조건을 임의 갯수의 집중질량 병진스프링 회전스프링으로 일반화하여 정식화한 다음 엄밀해법을 제시하고, 아울러 엄밀해법의 연산부담이 매우 큰 점을 고려하여 적정한 Rayleigh-Ritz 해석에 대해서도 검토하였다. Rayleigh-Ritz 해석에 있어서는 우선 기준계의 고유함수를 이용하는 방법이 고려될 수 있으나 이 경우에도 Euler 보이론과는 달라서 연산부담이 역시 큰 편이다. 따라서 기준계의 고유함수와 같은 성질을 갖는 다항식을 도출하고 이를 이용하는 Rayleigh-Ritz 해석의 유용성에 관해 검토했다. 한편, 본 연구의 대상계와 같은 복합계에 대해서는 최적설계관점에서 설계변수변경에 따른 재해석문제 또한 중요한 과제임을 고려하여, 특성다항식 이용 Rayleigh-Ritz 방법에 기초하여 계산되는 동특성 1차 감도의 유용성도 검토되었다. 수치 계산예를 통해 전기 특성 다항식을 이용한 Rayleigh-Ritz 해석이 정확도면에서 엄밀해와 부합성이 양호하고, 계산 효율은 매우 높음이 확인되었다.

In this paper is studied the effect of considering the theory of Timoshenko in the vibration of AFG beams that support ground masses. As it is known, Timoshenko theory takes into account the shear deformation and the rotational inertia, provides more accurate results in the general study of beams and is mandatory in the case of high frequencies or non-slender beams. The Rayleigh-Ritz Method is employed to obtain approximated solutions of the problem. The accuracy of the procedure is verified through results available in the literature that can be represented by the model under study. The incidence of the Timoshenko theory is analyzed for different cases of beam slenderness, variation of its cross section and compositions of its constituent material, as well as different amounts and positions of the attached masses.

In the present article bending, buckling and vibration analyses of tapered beams using Eringen non-local elasticity theory are being carried out. The associated governing differential equations are solved employing Rayleigh-Ritz method. Both Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories are considered in the analyses. Present results are in good agreement with those reported in literature. Beam material is considered to be made up of functionally graded materials (fgms). Non-local analyses for tapered beam with simply supported - simply supported, clamped - simply supported and clamped - free boundary conditions are carried out and discussed. Further, effect of length to height ratio on maximum deflections, vibration frequencies and critical buckling loads are studied.

보의 고유진동수는 진동해석 뿐만 아니라 구조물의 동적특성을 파악하는데 중요한 역할을 한다 보의 단면이 불연속적으로 변하는 계단형 보의 고유진동수 해석은 복잡하다. 이런 계단형 보의 진동해석은 Rayleigh-Ritz법, FEM 등과 같은 근사해석법이 흔히 사용되는데 이들 해석의 정확성은 분할요소의 수, 계산의 반복수, 가정처짐곡선의 형상에 따라 좌우된다. 본 연구에서는 계단형 외팔보의 등가보 변환 방법을 이용한 기본고유진동수의 근사해석방법을 제시하고자 하였으며 여러 예제에 대하여 제안방법과 유한요소해석 결과를 비교하여 그 적용성과 신뢰성을 검증하였다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the vibration and sound generation characteristics of the sandwich panel. Two thick panels were assumed to be separated by a compliant viscoelastic core. The transverse vibration induced by an external impact was analyzed using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. For applying arbitrary boundary condition of the panels, the edges were assumed to be supported by the translational and rotational springs. The beam functions were used as the trial functions. The effect of the boundary condition and viscoelastic core on the resulting vibration characteristics was investigated. The radiated sound power was analyzed using the proposed numerical model and the Rayleigh integral. The dynamic properties of the core and the mass-stiffness-mass resonance frequency had significant influence on the impact sound.
