In the existing reports regarding free transverse vibrations of the Euler-Bernoulli beams, most of them studied a uniform beam carrying various concentrated elements (such as point masses, rotary inertias, linear springs, rotational springs, spring-mass systems, ${\ldots}$, etc.) or a stepped beam with one to three step changes in cross-sections but without any attachments. The purpose of this paper is to utilize the numerical assembly method (NAM) to determine the exact natural frequencies and mode shapes of the multiple-step Euler-Bernoulli beams carrying a number of lumped masses and rotary inertias. First, the coefficient matrices for an intermediate lumped mass (and rotary inertia), left-end support and right-end support of a multiple-step beam are derived. Next, the overall coefficient matrix for the whole vibrating system is obtained using the numerical assembly technique of the conventional finite element method (FEM). Finally, the exact natural frequencies and the associated mode shapes of the vibrating system are determined by equating the determinant of the last overall coefficient matrix to zero and substituting the corresponding values of integration constants into the associated eigenfunctions, respectively. The effects of distribution of lumped masses and rotary inertias on the dynamic characteristics of the multiple-step beam are also studied.

저속 압축성 유동에서 사용하는 예조건화 기법은 수렴성 증진에 효과적이다. 본 연구에서는 일반적인 오일러 지배 방정식과 각각 다르게 무차원화한 세 가지 종류의 예조건화 기법을 3차 공간 정확도의 MUSCL, DADI, 다중 격자, 국소 시간 전진 기법을 이용하여 2차원 비점성 bump 유동에 적용하였다. 결과적으로 국소 예조건화 기법에 전역 예조건화 기법의 압력 항 무차원화 방법을 적용하면, 마하수에 무관한 수렴 특성을 얻을 수 있다. 또한, 점근해석을 이용하여 각 예조건화 기법의 특성에 대해 언급하였다.

Numerical simulations of ship resistance have been performed to compare spatial characteristics of Courant number when using structured and unstructured meshes. When Euler scheme was used for time integration, the structured mesh provided a more efficient calculation because the calculation time interval was larger than that of unstructured mesh. The automatic generation of very small meshes in the unstructured mesh was mainly responsible for the limitation of calculation time interval. When local time stepping Euler scheme was applied, however, the ship resistance of unstructured mesh showed a rapid convergence while a slow convergence of ship resistance in structured mesh was caused by the small time interval in bulbous bow.

The aim of this work is to analyze and predict the wave propagation behavior of the carbon nanotube reinforced composites (CNTRC) beams within the framework of various higher order shear deformation beam theory. Using the Euler-Lagrange principle, the wave equations for CNTRC beams are derived, where the determining factor is to make the determinant equal to zero. Based on the eigenvalue method, the relationship between wave number and circular frequency is obtained. Furthermore, the phase and group velocities during wave propagation are obtained as a function of wave number, and the material properties of CNTRC beams are estimated by the mixture rule. In this paper, various higher order shear beam theory including Euler beam theory, Timoshenko beam theory and other beam theories are mainly adopted to analyze the wave propagation problem of the CNTRC beams, and by this way, we conduct a comparative analysis to verify the correctness of this paper. The mathematical model provided in this paper is verified numerically by comparing it with some existing results. We further investigate the effects of different enhancement modes of CNTs, volume fraction of CNTs, spring factor and other aspects on the wave propagation behaviors of the CNTRC beams.

This paper is devoted to the study of Mellin, Laplace, Euler and Whittaker transforms involving Struve function, generalized Wright function and Fox's H-function. The main results are presented in the form of four theorems. On account of the general nature of the functions involved here in, the main results obtained here yield a large number of known and new results in terms of simpler functions as their special cases. For the sake of illustration some corollaries have been recorded here as special cases of our main findings.

We say a positive integer n satisfies the Lehmer property if ${\phi}(n)$ divides n - 1, where ${\phi}(n)$ is the Euler's totient function. Clearly, every prime satisfies the Lehmer property. No composite integer satisfying the Lehmer property is known. In this article, we show that every composite integer of the form $D_{p,n}=np^n+1$, for a prime p and a positive integer n, or of the form ${\alpha}2^{\beta}+1$ for ${\alpha}{\leq}{\beta}$ does not satisfy the Lehmer property.

Carbon nanotubes have outstanding properties which make them useful for a number of high-technology applications. Especially, single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT), working under physical conditions (in aqueous solution) and converting electrical energy into mechanical energy directly, can be a good substitute for artificial muscle. The carbon nanotube structure simulated in this paper is an isotropic cantilever type with an adhesive tape which is sandwiched between two SWNTs. For predicting the geometrical and physical parameters such as deflection, slope, bending moment and induced force with various applied voltages, the analytical model for a 3 layer bimorph nanotube actuator is developed by applying Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The governing equation and boundary conditions are derived from energy Principles. Also, the brief history of carbon nonotube is overviewed and its properties are compared with other functional materials. Moreover, an electro-mechanical coupling coefficient of the carbon nanotube actuator is discussed to identify the electro-mechanical energy efficiency.

The transverse free vibration of chiral double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNTs) embedded in elastic medium is modeled by the non-local elasticity theory and Euler Bernoulli beam model. The governing equations are derived and the solutions of frequency are obtained. According to this study, the vibrational mode number, the small-scale coefficient, the Winkler parameter and chirality of double-walled carbon nanotube on the frequency ratio (xN) of the (DWCNTs) are studied and discussed. The new features of the vibration behavior of (DWCNTs) embedded in an elastic medium and the present solutions can be used for the static and dynamic analyses of double-walled carbon nanotubes.

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.
