In this paper the vibration analysis of cantilever beams having a concentrated tip mass and an open crack are performed. The influences of a concentrated tip mass, the crack depth, and the crack position on the natural frequencies of the cracked cantilever beam are investigated by a numerical method. The cracked cantilever beam is modeled based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The flexibility due to crack is calculated using a fracture mechanics theory. The crack is assumed to be opened during the vibrations. The results obtained by the present method were compared with experimental results to verify the theory. As inspected, as the crack depth and the concentrated tip mass increase, the natural frequencies of the beam decrease. In general, the natural frequencies of the cantilever beam are more sensitive to the depth of the crack than the position of the crack.

This paper analyzes nonlinear free vibration of the circular nano-tubes made of functionally graded materials in the framework of nonlocal strain gradient theory in conjunction with a refined higher order shear deformation beam model. The effective material properties of the tube related to the change of temperature are assumed to vary along the radius of tube based on the power law. The refined beam model is introduced which not only contains transverse shear deformation but also satisfies the stress boundary conditions where shear stress cancels each other out on the inner and outer surfaces. Moreover, it can degenerate the Euler beam model, the Timoshenko beam model and the Reddy beam model. By incorporating this model with Hamilton's principle, the nonlinear vibration equations are established. The equations, including a material length scale parameter as well as a nonlocal parameter, can describe the size-dependent in linear and nonlinear vibration of FGM nanotubes. Analytical solution is obtained by using a two-steps perturbation method. Several comparisons are performed to validate the present analysis. Eventually, the effects of various physical parameters on nonlinear and linear natural frequencies of FGM nanotubes are analyzed, such as inner radius, temperature, nonlocal parameter, strain gradient parameter, scale parameter ratio, slenderness ratio, volume indexes, different beam models.

The flexural vibration characteristics of a sandwich beam system with a partially inserted viscoelastic layer have been quantitatively studied using a finite element analysis in combination with a sine-sweep test. Antisymmetric mode shapes of the flexural vibration were visualized by the holographic interferometry and agreed with those calculated by the finite element simulation. Effects of the beam thickness as well as the length and thickness of partial viscoelastic layers on the system loss factor(η$\_$s/) and resonant frequency($\omega$$\_$r/) were significantly large fur the symmetric and antisymmetric modes of the beam system.

Modal characteristics of a cracked beam with a concentrated mass undergoing rotational motion are investigated in this paper. Hybrid deformation variables are employed to derive the equations of motion of a rotating cantilever beam. The flexibility due to crack, which is assumed to be open during the vibration, is calculated basing on a fracture mechanics theory. To obtain more general information, the equations of motion are transformed into a dimensionless form in which dimensionless parameters are identified. The effects of the dimensionless parameters related to the angular speed, the depth and location of a crack and the size and location of a concentrated mass on the modal characteristics of the beam are investigated numerically.

In this paper, the general equation of motion of damped sandwich beam with multi-viscoelastic material layer was derived based on the equation presented by Mead and Markus. The viscoelastic layer, which has characteristics of complex shear modulus, was assumed to be dominantly under shear deformation. The equation of motion of n-layered damped sandwich beam in bending could be represented by (n+3)th order ordinary differential equation. Finite element model for the n-layered damped sandwich beam was formulated and programmed using higher order shape functions. Several numerical examples were implemented to show the effects of damped material.

The floor impact noise of concrete structures in apartments buildings is affected from the flexural wave propagation characteristics. Accordingly, the measurement of wave propagation characteristics is required for suggestion of efficient method to reduce the impact noise. The purpose of this article is to propose an experimental technique to measure dynamic properties of concrete structures. The method was proposed using the flexural wave propagation characteristics. Wave speeds, bending stiffness and their loss factors are estimated from which the vibration dissipation capabilities are investigated. Several different concrete beam structures were custom-built for measurement. The damping treatments using viscoelastic materials for reducing noise generation are also tested. The beam transfer function of the damped beam is predicted using the compressional damping model from which the mechanism of the vibration energy dissipation is investigated.

The use of frequency-dependent spectral element matrix (or exact dynamic stiffness matrix) in structural dynamics is known to provide very accurate solutions, while reducing the number of degrees-of-freedom to resolve the computational and cost problems. Thus, in the present paper, the spectral element model is formulated for the axially moving Timoshenko beam under a uniform axial tension. The high accuracy of the present spectral element 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, the dispersion relation, and the stability of a moving Timoshenko beam are investigated, analytically and numerically.

Research on the forced vibration control of a flexible GFR composite beam using $\mu$-synthesis is performed on this paper. Modal analysis method and modal coordinates are introduced to obtain the state equations of the structural system. Using these equations, Robust control algorithm using $\mu$-synthesis is adopted to suppress the forced vibration of a flexible beam since the designed controller can considered plant uncertainty and external disturbance. Constant disturbance which is generated by shaking the flexible beam as I's natural frequency is effectively rejected by a PZT actuator. Simulations and experiments are carried out with the designed controller and effectiveness of forced vibration suppression strategy is verified by results.

In a lightly damped cantilever beam, most of the vibration energy is found around natural frequencies. Based on this, a phase delay control for suppressing vibration of the beam is proposed in this paper. This controller is designed to behave like a velocity feedback controller at the frequencies of modes to be controlled. Also, this controller is designed in consideration with uncontrolled modes for robust stability and improving of the sensitivity function of the control system. This phase delay control is applied to vibration suppression of a cantilever beam with a pair of a piezoelectric actuator and a piezoelectric sensor. Experimental results showed that the phase delay control functions efficiently.

The vibration analysis of a rotating cantilever beam made-up of functionally graded materials is presented based on Timoshenko beam theory. The material properties of the beams are assumed to be varied through the thickness direction following a simple power-law form. The frequency equations, which are coupled through gyroscopic coupling terms, are calculated using hybrid deformation variable modeling along with the Rayleigh-Ritz assumed mode methods. In this study, resulting system of ordinary differential equations shows the effects of power-law exponent, angular speed, length to height ratio and Young's modulus ratio. It is believed that the results will be a reference with which other researchers and commercial FE analysis program, ANSYS can compare their results.
